Of Her Corrupted Throne

Chapt. 13 - Queen of White

Evander took hold of Queeny's hand and helped her up. "Let's be bad royals!" She looked up at him as he smiled his childish smile. "Alright!"

Evander led her around the castle's corridors as he searched for a staff member. "Excuse me! Do you know where Argenti's room is?" "Certainly young majesty. Sir Argenti has his chambers located just to the right of your own." "Thank you ma'am!" With that, he ran off towards his room.

          To the right of Evander's room. But.. which right..?

          "Uhm..it has come to my attention that the right of which his room is- was not specified" Evander looked down at Queeny. "I'll check this room, would you mind checking that one?" She nodded.

Evander headed for the room opposite to Queeny. He tried to open the door but it seemed to have been locked. "Hm..must be a guest room. They're always making changes to the rooms."

Queeny went to the room opposite to Evander and opened it. "Just who I was hoping to see~" she was pulled in.

"Any luck Qu-" he looked over. "Queeny?"
Damnit! So it was that one..? Evander went over and tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Uhm!..Please let me out..I'm sorry Evander and I were trying to trash your room!" Queeny was a bit panicked at her situation. Argenti leaned in closer, he heard the doorknob jiggle. "What a pest.."

The door swung open and Evander lost balance. "What in Isora's name are you doing on the ground baby brother?" Argenti looked down at him as Queeny peered over from behind. "You didn't touch her did you?!" "Oh please, I was only..teasing~"

Evander tried to throw a punch at Argenti but he dodged and walked away before anything touched him. Which led Evander to fall into Queeny instead. "Owie!" She let out a yelp from having Evander's weight fall on her. "Oh! So sorry!" He apologized.

Argenti turned the corner and saw a certain someone. He gave him a wink and continued walking on.

"What's with all the ruckus over here...uh?" Ciel saw Evander collecting himself and getting off of Queeny as she was fixing her skirt. "General!" Evander's face grew red from embarrassment. "It's not what you think!" "He fell onto me is all, General!" Queeny chimed in to keep away any suspicion. "Is that so.."

          Ciel took a minute of silence and quickly remembered the reason he had been searching for them. "Ah! I came to inform you!" Evander and Queeny helped each other off of the floor and dusted themselves of dust. "Inform us of what?" He fixed his beret.

          "Julia, of white, has arrived." Ciel told them. "Julia! She's here? Where is she?" Queeny seems very cheerful to hear about it.

          Ciel nodded and led them to the lounge where Julia was seated.

"Queeny? Darling is that really you? Oh my, look at you now!" Julia stood up and went to hug the tiny lady of black.

Julia had long, brown wavy hair. Her eyes were black in color, not dark brown. Just black. Her dress was long and tight, the skirt portion was slit into fours. Her crown was a thin double chain that sat nicely on her head.

Ciel looked at the two and saw how small Queeny looked compared to Julia, who was slightly shorter than him. Evander chimed in. "Do you two know each other?"

Julia looked up at him and chuckled. "You silly boy! Queeny is like a younger sister to me! Of course, I didn't spend ALL my time playing with her when she was in her EARLY early youth. Mother Crystal was always.." she looked around before continuing. "Pampering her.." Julia gave Queeny and head pat.

          "Why are you here so early Julie?" Queeny looked up at the lady. "Well, I just couldn't wait to see you again!" Julia squished Queeny's face which caused them both to giggle.

Evander decided to finally say something. "If I may ask..why did you pair Queeny and I together? Ah! Miss Julia.." Julia looked up from Queeny and to Evander. "Ask again in two days, dear." She gave him a smile. Curious..

Ciel looked at the clock to see what time it was. It was only the afternoon, but the day felt quite long. "Ah well! I best be going now. I'll be back here on Christmas Day!" Julia turned around, she received her coat from a servant and took her leave. "Ta-Ta!~"

Queeny turned around after waving goodbye. "Ciel! It's been a while since I've seen you." Ciel was a little startled. "Right..I've been busy." He gave a straight forward answer. "Ooh okay okay! But are you done busying now?" She looked up at him. "I suppose.."

Rosaline peeked out from the doorway. I guess I could go in..but what the hell, Ciel?! I thought we were avoiding them..

She walked in quietly and waved. "Uh hey" Evander turned around. "Rosa!" Rosaline blushed that he was the first to notice her. "Oh! Rosaline! I just remembered, I was going to ask if we could hang out some time?" Rosaline looked down at Queeny, she didn't expect her to ask such a question. "I'm free as of now actually.." Queeny's face lit up.

Ciel looked over at Rosaline with the expression of, I swear to Isora.. she gave him reassurance by nodding. "Wait- you girls are gonna go off right now? Well..I guess that's alright." Evander was hoping to not be left alone with Ciel again. "Don't worry dork! We'll just be doing girl things. Oh, you wouldn't understand." Rosaline plucked him.

Rosaline led Queeny out of the lounge room and they were gone.

"How are things with you two?" Ciel asked Evander. "Oh! They're great! I uhm..kind of took your advice to..get myself together. Thanks for that." Evander rubbed the back of his neck. "Right.."

Argenti scoped the hallway. He made sure that no one was around to see him before entering his room. "Hey.." he whispered out into his room. "Are you still in there? You can come out now, love.." Argenti kneeled down and put his hand out towards the space under the bed. "Thank goodness..I thought I'd have been found for sure, Argi.."
