Dear King Yugo,

Chapter 5

It was late at night, and Yugo sat in his room reading a book, a candle sitting on his nightstand. He sat their for a few hours reading the pages of the thick book. Eventually he finished the book and went to bed. Before he did he looked at his arm. He had bandaged the scarring gashes Qilby had cut into them. He lifted a hand and traced the wound on the side of his face. He sighed. It was honestly a miracle that Qilby had missed every vital vein with his arm. Even more so that the knife hadn't taken his eye out. Yugo fell back onto his pillow. Phaeris, of course, had made sure there was at least two guards at every door way. Yugo sat back up and frowned. He felt like someone was in the room with him. He opened him mouth to speak, only for it to be covered by someone's hand. "Hello King Yugo." A voice hissed out from behind him as the light from the candle reflected on the silver surface of a knife.

Yugo woke with a shout, he was in his room, sweating anxiously. He ran a hand through his hair. There was a knock at his door. "King Yugo, are you alright?" A voice rang out

"Y-Yeah. Just... Just a bad dream." Yugo replied as he reached for his hat. "Where's my..." He began as he looked at the nightstand where his hat should've been. He looked on the floor. "There it is...." He picked his hat up off the ground he got out of bed and walked over to the window. He put his hat in, and pulled open the curtains. He looked out at the garden. Early morning, the sun was just starting to rise. He opened the window and breathed in the cool morning air. He was afraid. His dream, that was obviously Qilby in his dream. 'No. I'm just being paranoid.' He thought 'Qilby can't manipulate dreams.... He's an Eliatrope....' He looked out on the gardens. He looked at the flowers. He caught a glimpse of Amalia's pale tan outfit. She was walking in the garden, he could've seen her smile from a mile away. He watched her until she looked up and saw him. He turned red

"Good morning King Yugo!" She smiled

"Morning Princess Amalia!" He replied happily

He closed the window and curtains, then walked over to the trunk that sat at the foot of his bed, and changed into his usual tank top, shorts, and sandals. He left his room and walked with a guard to the garden to be with Amalia. He and Amalia walked around the garden for hours. "I've missed you Yugo." Amalia said as they walked

"Really? I've missed you too." Yugo replied

"Armond has said they if I don't find a husband soon, he'll find a suitor." Amalia frowned

"As if he has any say in your love life." Yugo scoffed

"I know! I decide who I love."

What they didn't know was, they were walking past Adami's window. 'I still ship it.' Adami thought as he watched Yugo and Amalia walk through the garden. Adami chuckled as he watched the two, chuckling even more when Amalia tripped, fell into Yugo's arms and Yugo the Eliatrope, turned into Yugo the Tomato. He smiled at his brother. "Getting a laugh out of your brother's relationship, Adami?" An all to familiar voice rang out. Adami whipped around. Qilby. With a knife. "Is someone not happy to see me?"

"You hurt my brother!" Adami shouted

There was a knock at the door "You also hurt your brother, as did Nox, and this Oropo did as well." Qilby retorted

"Adami, are you alright?" A guard asked from outside the door

"They didn't threaten him! They didn't cut him with a knife!" Adami yelled ignoring the guard

"Adami. Adami. Adami. I'm not the only one who's ever hurt your brother. You know that." Qilby threw the knife at Adami's leg. Adami shouted out as the knife sunk into his leg. The door flew open, and two guards entered "That's my cue to leave." Qilby smirked as he jumped through a portal

"Adami, are you okay?" A guard asked running over to him

"I'm fine. Go keep an eye on Yugo." Adami said "I have a feeling Qilby is going to attack him at some point today."

The guards nodded and left. Adami pulled the knife out of his leg and bandaged it, this was the first time Qilby had decided to attack him. That meant only one thing.

Qilby was not only trying to kill Yugo, but also anybody who would take over the crown if Yugo died.
