Could It Be…Love?
Ch 1 The First Sighting
"Logan, come on!"
"Hush, Lynn. We'll find David then get back to Mom in no time."
Lynn put on a pouty face,"But Mom's probably gonna tell a story from her time in the Spire!"
Logan sighed, frustrated with his six-year-old sister.
"Fine. I'll go look for him. You go listen to her story."
The little princess smiled sweetly,"I'll tell her you'll be there soon,kay?"
Logan rolled his eyes and turned away.
"Bye, Logan!"
And with that the princess was off to see her mother, the Queen of Albion.
Princess Lynn played with her skirts as she walked to her mother's study. She thought about all the wonderful tales her mother had told her. The bandits, balverines, and banshees she had to fight. Even the Crucible. But Lynn loved the stories of the Spire the most.
The fact that someone could go through so much suffering and still be kind was amazing. Her mother was like a candle lit in a dark place and she was a moth cherishing the beauty of the flame. The Queen of Albion was a role model to her children and a beacon of hope to all.
Lynn looked up from her skirts to see a tall and slender woman holding hands with a little boy leaving the study. Lynn held back for a moment and watched them. Right before they turned down a corner, the little boy looked back and smiled. Lynn was stunned from the gesture and from the look in his chocolate brown eyes. It was the same look her mom gave her whenever she stepped into the same room.
He was genuinely happy to see her.
"Mother!" Lynn came running into the room,"Who were those people?"
"It was an old friend of mine and her son. They stopped by for a visit."
"Oh, are they going to be working at the castle?"
"Well, she has a few more years of work left in her, but I've arranged for her to retire here and her son will work in the kitchen or just help around the castle."
Lynn remained silent.
"Are you wanting to know what the boy's name is?"
Lynn nodded her head shyly.
"His name is Elliot and I've known him since his birth."
"Really? Do they visit often?"
"They visit every two months. You're usually immersed in your lessons though," the queen laughed.
"Well. I'd like to meet them one day."
"You will,but not now," she smiled.
