The Knight And The Prince

Chapter Nine

(Very Short)

Roman listens to my story and is in tears by the end of it. "Oh my, Virgil I am so sorry I left, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you! I failed you I couldn't protect you from that monster, I am sorry!" He starts panicking. I know what's happening I've had many attacks before.

"Hey it's okay, I'm okay," I say trying to calm him down. His breathing starts becoming irregular and he's gasping for air. "Roman listen to me that's in the past everything's okay, I'm okay." He seems like he's trying to focus but can't he can't breathe and I don't think my breathing techniques will work so I decide to do something crazy. I quickly kiss him and he gasps into the kiss and I quickly pull back. "Sorry, you wouldn't breathe," I say looking away awkwardly.

He starts breathing a little more normal and takes a few minutes to calm down completely. "Sorry I was overthinking," He says looking at me with a small smile.

"Well don't do that, that's my job I'm the anxious one here." He laughs and stands up.

"Time to go you have some wedding planning to do." I roll my eyes standing up.

"Oh yes, my favorite thing," I say sarcastically heading towards the castle with Roman at my side.

A few hours later Abigail and I have finally decided what the color scheme will be. We picked the color purple and we are doing a dark and light purple. Everyone left to go get the cake samples so she and I are alone. "I have an idea," She says after a few moments of silence.

"For what?" I ask messing with my fork nervously.

"You. We can get married and when you're crowned King we can legalize gay marriage then split and you can get married to Roman," She says I think about it for a few moments.

"Well first of all my dad has to die before I am crowned. Second, we can't split it's against the rules. We have to be together for the rest of our lives. Third I don't know if Roman will marry me or if he's even gay," I say tapping my foot.

"Dammit, why must this be so difficult for you to be happy?" She asks frustrated.

"I'll just marry you and legalize it for the future gays once my dad dies and I get crowned of course," I say looking at the door anxiously waiting for them to return.

"We could always kill him." She says randomly. I look at her and frown. "What? I was just kidding Virgil! Learn to take a joke!" I laugh at her overdramatic behavior. "Oh, now you laugh!"

I shake my head and the door swings open. I jump out of my seat and start shaking. "I am sorry Prince Virgil," Patton says as he brings the cake over to our table.
