Royal Problems

Chapter 21: Make Me

Lydia

I then change into my night gown because the time I will be back it will be dusk. I then grab my dagger I got a long time ago from my brother and I take a deep breath and I hear Walter say"I believe in you" "thank you" I then open and close my door, and lock it. I don't want anyone to be snooping in my room while I am gone. I go off to my mother's and father's chamber and I open the door slightly seeing no one. Oh thank the heavens. I then close their door and open their chest that they keep for the extra keys on my mothers night stand. I then grab the dungeon labeled keys and right when I was about to leave I heard footsteps and I go in their closet.

I then hear the door open and close. I then hear oh god, not Sadie. "well the kings quarters is absolutely pleasant Sebastian." she giggles and I almost vomit on how awful she sounds pretending to be so happy. "Yes my lady" "show me Lydia's room" I am so glad mine is a different key from that key my Butler Sebastian has. "Yes my lady" I then hear them leave the room and I go out of the room and out to my dungeon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I go down to the dungeon and I hear screams, oh god. I cover my mouth to keep me from breathing to hard and I go a bit more into the Dungeons. We haven't captured anyone for treason or anything for that matter it's always been peaceful here. I then go over to the room and I see Wesley being whipped but the Guard stops and says"I'll be back for you" he then goes out of the room and I hide myself behind a pillar and I cover myself with my hood. "oh dear god please help me whoever you are please get me out"

I then open the door and shut it and look at him. So much was done to him my heavens. "Please I beg of you I need to see her" "Who exactly?" "Lydia?" he says with hope "is that you?" I uncover myself and smile at him. "wait what how and Why?" "I overheard them speaking and I couldn't just stand there and do nothing" "he'll come back" "I am armed no need to worry" "with what exactly" I show him dagger and he nods in amusement.

"it still doesn't change what you said to me Lydia" "It still doesn't change what you did or said yourself in your letter my lord." I said sourly and looked at him annoyed. "I am saving you because I- I don't want to have to find your body and I wouldn't be able to bear it if you had gotten hurt somehow" "I have been in many ways my lady I think I will be just fine" he said and stared at me excepting me to argue back. But I don't and grab the keys and start unlocking each shackle.

I then hold him close and I look at him and say"you are hurt badly Wesley whether you want me here or not I am helping you not get some kind of disease" he stays quiet and I hear someone coming. "go hide" "no I am tired of hiding" I then see a servant girl, it was Sarah. "My lady" she bows down. "Sarah please help me get this young man to the infirmary" "yes my lady"

We then get him and we both hold his sides and he says"thanks" I ignore is bitterness and continue to help them but we are stopped by Fergus's guard. "well princess soon to be queen Lydia what are you doing with the Prisoner" "go" I whisper to them and they both get away. "He is not to be here, I do not want to start any kind of war between the Kingston Family got it?" "no I am afraid I don't my lady" he then takes out sword.

"I am not afraid I may have no skill in combat it doesn't mean I can't tackle you to the ground" I challenge and he chuckles"We both know that you will not defeat me" "I'll take my chances" I smile and throw my dagger into his leg. He screams in agony and tries to stab me with the sword but misses and slices my arm. I then tackle him to the ground and grab his sword and hold it up to his neck. "now listen to the future queen of Glandia I will not allow such violence happen to lord Kingston again are we clear?" he coughs and says"No"

"Perhaps I didn't" I then slice his face with his sword, leaving him a scar and he hisses in pain."Do I make myself clear?" "yes my lady" "Now I will take my dagger out of your leg and you are to say he escaped out of his cell to king Fergus got it?" "yes" "thank you, your service is deeply appreciated." I grab the dagger out of his left leg and I leave before anything else could happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My lady he is doing just fine would you like to see him." "yes please and I would like to be left alone with him please if that is too much" "no my lady let us go ladies" they all leave and I go over to his bed and see him looking at me. "Please leave" "make me give me a reason why I should not be here" "because I don't want to see your face okay your beautiful eyes, hair, and your lips." "Well no matter how hard it is you are to be in my room,  you should be glad I found you before they could do anything else to you" 

He turns away from me and stays silent. "are you really going to be childish? right now really?" I then cross my arms and frown at him. "I don't get it"

 he says, 

"don't get what?" 

"first you tell us just to be friends and we are not to see each other and yet I am here beaten badly, and sadly still alive"

 "You know just because of the awful things it does not mean I want you to die alright?" I said in a bitter tone and wince at my forgotten wound from the battle that had taken place earlier. "My lady Lydia what have you done to yourself?" "nothing of your concern alright, you are hurt more than I am" I know I shouldn't be harsh but he was really starting to tick me off.

"You know I don't get you, why did you fall in love with the girl that left you at your own wedding" I cover my mouth in shock what I just said. I went to far.

"Because it's better to go back to someone that actually has a chance with you!"
