Crowns & Roses

Chapter 3-Magor

A loud knocking filled the shimmering walls of the Eaker Castle, a scarlet haired servant opened the door, a young light-skinned Puerto Rican Dominican collapsed into the servants arms. He was nearly out of breath and losing consciousness by the second. John Laurens, the servant, pulled the young man inside and propped him up against a closed door, attempting to help the man start breathing again.

The young man's brown eyes opened, scanning the room before making eye contact with the servant before him.

"H-hello?" The man breathed out. John scanned the man for a few seconds

"What's your name?" John asked, meaniclingly. The man hesitated for a few seconds.

"Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton. You may call me Alex though my good sir" Alexander explained. John rolled his dark green eyes and stared at Alex for a few seconds.

"I'm Jonathan Laurens at your service. But you may call me John." John said, mocking Alex's tone. Alex scoffed and and began to scan the room again.

"Where am I?" Alex asked, very confused.

"Eaker Castle in Magor, where are you supposed to be?" John snapped back.

"...Washington castle in Kinca..." Hamilton muttered. John's eyes widened,

"You're the kings right hand man!" John exclaimed, Alex nodded, surprised at Johns sudden change of tone. "Wow... I apologize for any discomfort I caused." Alex rolled his eyes at that statement.

"Do you know how to get to the castle from here?" John thought for a second, before scraping that idea and staring daggers into Alexander's eyes.

"What were you doing before you came here?" John asked, warningly. Alex smirked and playfully glared back at John.

"I was running."

"From...?"

"Princess Angelica Of Oana."

"Why...?"

"She didn't approve of my attempt to swoon her sister."

"Which one?"

"The blue one."

"That's not what I- okay whatever." John scoffed and was about to shut the large wooden door on the small man when Alex gratefully let himself slip past the door. John Gasps and turned on his heel to face Alexander

"You can't just-" Alex cut John off

"Oh? But I just did." Alex said, smirking. A light blush crept onto John's face as he rolled his light green eyes.

"What do you want from me?" John asked, getting impatient. Alex shrugged and handed a parchment letter to John

"Well Theodosia Bartow of Deverna wanted your Prince to see this, I know what this paper contains but I am very positive you do not." Alex snarked. John rolled his eyes once again.

"Do you need a place to stay or..." John asked, Alexander shrugged and walked toward the door. 

"Nah, I can get back to Kinca before sundown. Probably. I'll catch you later severant." Alexander explained. John raised and eyebrow and opened the door for Alex.

"Yeah, yeah, okay. Catch you later." 

John watched Alexander's figure run off into the distance, toward Kinca he assumed. John shut the door quietly and leaned against the wooden structure, sighing. A warm feeling arose in his chest and he smiled to himself, before a ringing bell snapped him out of his daze. 

John grabbed the letter for Prince Eaker, running quickly up the stairs and to the grand oak door of George's room, knocking ever so lightly.

"Sir I have a letter for you..."
