An Adventure Of Epic Proportions

Chapter Eight

Ivy was blushing pink into my cheeks when their was a knock on the door.

"You can go" Ivy and her team disappeared, leaving Liam standing in the doorway. "Hi Liam!"

"Hi Jupiter, Aiden asked me to show you around the castle" he said.

"Okay" I said following him out of the room.

"We're do you want to start"

"The graveyard?"

"Right this way"

"Wait, you actually have one"

"Well were do you think we put the body's of dead King's and Queens" he said. I let out a laugh. Liam and I spent the day touring the royal toilets, the royal library, and the royal gardens.

As we rounded another a large latched door caught my eye, "what's in there?"

"Dunno" Liam said.

"Come one, you known where very thing is" I teased.

"I honestly don't have a clue"

"Sure" I said sarcastically, pressing my ear against a nearby door, "what's in here?"

"I wouldn't do that Jupiter"

"Why?"

"Cause that's the kings room" Liam said.

"OooOooOO" I whispered, pressing my ear even closer.

"It's unfair, my daughter deserves to be the queen. She just comes strutting and ruins everything I worked for" a muffled voice came from behind the door.

"Liam, come here and listen to this" I whispered. Liam came and listened at the door.

"I know, I know, I haven't forgotten our deal. The moment Jupiter is married to Aiden we have an alliance with Lyth. Because she's the legitimate ruler, after we take Lyth, we can kill her. Aiden will remarry to your daughter, and they become the ruler of both Ender and Lyth" another voice came from the room. I glanced at Liam.

"Let's go" He whispered. I didn't hesitate. Back in my room I paced around, Liam had gone to find Aiden, leaving me to figure out if it was a elaborately planed prank or someone was planning to murdered me.

The door ceaked open as I had decided on option C, that yes, this was all just a bad nightmare. I quickly glanced to it, Liam was back with Aiden.

"Did you know about this?" I whispered yelled as Aiden, not wanting to draw attention to any of the maids outside.

"Like I've told you multiple times, I don't know anything. You seem to think me and my father sit down for tea and talk about his evil plots" he whisper yelled back.

"Can we stop whispering and just close the door" Liam whispered. Aiden shut the door and he and Liam walked inside.

I groaned, throwing myself onto my bed, "why can't your dad just go and conquer Lyth by himself"

"He could, but with out becoming the legitimate ruler, he"ll constantly be under attack from the Murth." Aiden said.

"Murth?" I asked

"Dark monsters" said Aiden.

"That explains all the attacks in Lyth" Liam said.

"Yea" I replied like I knew what we talking about.

"This whole murdered thing has me and Aiden thinking" Liam added, "that we should teach you how to use your powers"

"My powers?" I asked

"You know like your magic, or we can just teach you how to use a sword" Liam answered.

"Sounds cool but, what are my powers?"

"Well if the current rulers of Lyth aren't the real rulers, and most likely haven't been for a long time, we don't really know" Aiden stated, "If you still want to be trained, Liam and I usually meet at 6:30 in the court yard" he said as they walked out the door.

The moment they left I threw myself into my bed in tears. I had been bottling up my feelings all day. I never had anyone to grieve for, this was a new feeling, I new experience I didn't know how to cope with. I wish I could have had more time with my father. The only way I could feel better was by killing those assholes who murdered him. I realized that if I trained with Aiden and Liam not only would I be able to keep myself safe, I could kill the King of Lyth with out Ender's help. I shut my eyes, wiped the tears off of my face, and fell into a deep sleep.
