Oblivion (Magi Fanfiction)[Hiatus]

Chapter 3

Seraj POV

The feast is amazing tonight. The stars shone brightly in the sky with no clouds blocking the view.

In the courtyard (which is 100 ft wide and width), people are enjoying the night. Some are dancing merrily, some are drinking to their heart's content, some are playing, and some are chatting. You could say it is the same with Sindria but mine is different. Every feast, Dragons participate in the games and also enjoy themselves. Dragons here are the protectors of this country and they are fond of my people but not foreigners and enemies of course.

Ah, I forgot to add. Butterflies surround this place at every event. They are not like the others, they glow like a star at night which makes them special. Butterflies are special so that's why capturing them means straight to the dungeons or being exiled. They are kind of sacred so like the Dragons but the Dragons can take care of themselves.

I looked at my people while smiling. The Guardians are behind me, drinking and chatting happily. I stood up and walked near the stairs which led down to the courtyard.

"Everyone! I have an announcement to make!" That made everyone silent

"In a few months, my nephew will come to visit. I treat him like he is my son. His parents are dead and I'm the only one to look out for him. His name is Aladdin, and he is 10 years old. I hope you will all accept him as the Prince of Reja" I said loudly smiling hopelessly

"Yeah!!! We have a new Prince!!!"

They all cheered which made me smile at their acceptance of Aladdin. They don't seem to mind too. I quietly laughed at that.

"Your Majesty, don't you plan to marry someone?" Ken asked which earned him a smack in the head by all of the Guardians as they glare at him which made him whimper

"I...I don't know yet. I can't still forget him after all those years" I smiled sadly while sitting back down on my throne

Unknown to her, her Guardians are all plotting Ken's death while glaring at him.

"At least I have Aladdin now. I won't have to be alone" I said as a tear left my eye which didn't go unnoticed by them

'Your Majesty, we are here and will never leave you'

They look down in guilt and sorrow. They couldn't protect him, they couldn't save him. They couldn't mend the broken heart of their King who grieves until now.

"I have you all so nothing to worry about. You are all with me until now which I am grateful for. When I am happy, in grief, alone, scared, you are all there. All of you, just being here with me is enough" I said as I drank some kind of wine

Unknown to her, the citizens all heard what their King said and feel sad for her. They covered it up with drinking and laughter. They all know her tragic story, they hate the ones who caused her pain. They hate the ones who are after her. They hate the Al-thamen , they are the reason why their King is in this state. Forced her smile and happiness just to assure them that she is alright but they knew she is suffering.

"Let us just enjoy the beautiful night. The stars shine brightly down at us" I said looking up at the sky

Gilgamesh POV

I watch as Prince Aladdin drank milk directly from the horse. I sigh millions of times because of his actions. A woman pulled Prince Aladdin off the horse and then scolded him. I rose a brow at that. Well, he deserves it since he won't listen to me. Like what he did earlier, he blew his flute and that got us in trouble. I have to convince them that we are not spies.
