Of Her Corrupted Throne

Chapt. 3 - Something To Get Used To

It's the second time Queeny will be visiting the Gray Kingdom. The night prior, she had told herself that she would spend most of her time getting to know Evander, and maybe even fall in love with him. However, her dear prince seems to be a bit naive to the fact that he has duties that must be attended to in certain ways.

          There at the gate stood Prince Evander, waiting for his princess to arrive.

          Queeny got out of her carriage and approached him, Evander took her hand and spoke. "Is there anything you would like to do today, my lady?" Queeny looked up, holding back a bit of her happiness, although, she couldn't hold back the heating of her face and ended up blushing. She smiled lightly and replied, "Would you mind showing me your hobbies? I'm quite interested to know what you do in your spare time!" The prince's face lit up and he smiled.

          He took both of her hands and got down to her level, and in excitement he said, "Really? If that's what you wish, I know exactly what to do! Come with me!" Prince Evander fixed his beret and led his princess through the halls of his castle, passing by each corridor. Finally, they had reached an open area. The army training grounds.

"If you couldn't tell, I'm thinking of joining my army! I want to fight alongside the general and his men and women. I believe that if I'm there to help out it'll be a plus one! But of course, we would need to be wed to be even stronger." Evander held Queeny's hands softly and he looked into her eyes. He gave her a childish smile, along with a chuckle.

Queeny looked up at her prince with his childish smile, she started to blush a bit. As they stood together, Queeny had remembered what Evander said to her just moments ago. Thinking about joining his army? Well..in my last visit he did say that he goes each and every day to train with the other soldiers.. But..he couldn't have meant EVERY SINGLE day. Right..?

          Queeny and Evander were not able to spend the time they had together.

Instead, Queeny once again stood to the side while Evander followed along with the general's instructions.

          Although Queeny knew the prince's love for his army, she never would have thought he'd be obsessed. Her plan to spend time with the prince today was a fail, she didn't want to call him to spend time with her, but rather, allowed him to continue with his ways while she just stood and watched.

          As the soldiers did their training, General Ciel looked down at the small girl. "I recommend that you get used to this." Queeny looked up at him with a questioning look. "He comes here every single day you know. The only time he stops is when you've arrived, when it is time to eat, and when it is time for bed." Ciel softened his eyes as he looked at her.

          He then looked away quickly and took a seat on the ground. Queeny didn't want to be left standing alone. Plus, her feet kind of hurt from both standing and wearing half inch heels, so she sat down beside him.

          "How long has he been training with you all?" Queeny asked, looking over at the curly haired gentleman next to her. "Ever since he met me, he's about a year younger than I. And I've heard that you're a year younger than him. He started these habits 5 years ago. The 3 of us were quite young at that point."

          Queeny looked over at Evander, he was sparring with a platinum blonde girl from the army. She could tell that Evander was happy doing what he had been doing for years. She wanted happiness for everyone around her, and so she'll allow it. Not even thinking about her own feelings.

          For she, knows very well that her feelings don't matter at a time like this.
