The Stolen Crown

CHAPTER 5 ~ GOODBYE

Queen Cybele entered my chamber and saw me kneeling on the floor sword at hand "Felix, Florian, take this peasant to the fields and dispose of her body..." They looked at each other in astonishment "Uh, your majes-" "Do NOT question me! GET HER OUT OF MY SIGHT!" My comrades tried to help me to my feet but I couldn't even keep myself up so they carried my body to the door. "And her servant?" "Yes me here your highness" I heard Marcella say "You..." She lifted her chin to meet her face "FIRED! Someone take her out of my sight as well. Also... Learn how to speak some fluent english while your at it" She spat. I glared at her through my hair "Don't speak to her like that..." "Oh, I'm sorry did you say something?" She raised a brow reading for a fight, I stood my ground and pointed my blade at her throat "Watch your mouth or I'll slice it clean off" She leaned close to me and smirked " Your friend will be the death of you..." Felix and Florian nudged me a bit to move before I actually sliced her head off. This is the end I guess...

They carried me through the back of the kingdom towards the field and all i could do was wait until they skinned me alive and let the maggots feed on my flesh... After a few more long minutes of silence they placed me so that my body leaned against a rock while they turned their backs and started muttering to each other. "What should we do? We can't just slaughter her" "But what about her majesty?" "Come on Florian are you kidding me right now? She has saved our lives countless times, it's time for us to do the same. I'd rather die trying to save Cam's life than letting her die like this..." I heard their mutters die down and there was a moment of silence. "Just end me... I have nothing... to live for anymore..." I held back tears but my voice cracked a bit. "Don't say that..." An angelic voice spoke, i opened my eyes and pushed myself up straight. "Marce! You're alright!" She nodded solemnly and handed me a sack. "I not good at english but i know way." She pointed north "Empire of Corona, you safe there" "She's right" Felix chimed in. "Run there as fast as you can before the queen sees you..." "Here..." Florian handed me his sword "You'll need it" I looked at all of them and teared up a bit. I announced my last goodbyes and turned to face the journey ahead of me. I took a glance behind me and saw Marcella shedding a few tears and my comrades saluting me. It's time to move on to the next chapter of my life...
