Hey peeps. This is me first fic so don't be flaming me. Take pity.
In the throne room, Anidori confesses to the king that she is truly the princess of Kildenree, come to marry the prince. It was not going well.
"But Lord, I am the real Anidori of Kildenree not this..." Ani turned and faced Selia, then quickly turned back to finish, "lady in waiting."
"I beg your pardon Selia. Lord, this is my lady in waiting, Selia. She ran off some time ago and we haven't seen her since. I'm sure you must believe me and not her!" Selia protested.
The king just sat in his throne and, not knowing what else to do, laughed. Then he said, "The both of you seem to have a finger pointing at each other, but then how many pointing at yourselves? I do think you should be able to work this out all on your own. I will be back soon. When I return, you will have it all figured out." He left the room with only Selia, Ani, and Ungolad left in it.
As soon as they had left the room Ani was taken by Ungolad's arms and forced to hold back any screams by the blade of his sword on her neck.
"You thought you could just come in here and take my position on the throne next to Geric?" Selia asked, seeing now Ani's face had a look of confusion. "Yes, Geric. As I thought you would know, I suppose not. Well, you cannot do such a thing. They will listen to me, not you! You see, I have the gift of people-speaking, as I know you know, and they will have no choice but to listen."
"You're wrong! I am the princess; you know this and soon so will they!" Ani said.
"Shut up, Ani! The new princess is not done speaking." Ungolad pushed harder on her neck, causing her to bleed slightly. "I think you know that we will be wed today and then there will be nothing you can do."
"I THINK NOT!" proclaimed the king, coming from a tapestry on the wall; his voice so loud that Ani flinched. "I heard it all and you are not the princess. Selia, is it?" Ani nodded. "You and Ungolad will be banished from this kingdom forever!"
"We don't go so easily!" they said as they grabbed Ani. "We take her with us, or we don't go at all!"
"That will not settle nicely with me, Selia." said Geric. "Give her to me now!" He progressed onto Ungolad, ready to take Ani and Ungolad ran his blade through her. Without a flinch she fell to the floor, bleeding through the hole in her stomach.
The whole room was silent. Then with a mighty yell, Geric advanced onto Ungolad and the guards came through the door, along with the workers, ready to fight. They had heard everything from outside the door and many were crying.
The raging battle went on and on through the night. Many died and the kink was sent back behind the battle. Selia, who didn't want to die in the throne room, saw him sneaking out and followed . While hiding, Selia put the king under a spell so he would not remember Ani or the workers or anything that happened that night. The only thing he would know about it all was that Ungolad, the new prince, and Ani, actually Selia, would wed him and they would become the king and queen of Bayern.
Meanwhile, in the throne room, only Ungolad and Geric remained and their fighting was intense. Selia was watching from behind the tapestry. Geric tripped on a body, giving Ungolad an advantage. Ungolad stabbed him through the heart, his sword protruding from the prince's back.
Then he greeted Selia from behind the tapestry. "Well," he said, "it's just you and me now, to rule the kingdom. How does it feel?"
"Oh, spectacular!"
