It has been one year since the team departed. Lina and Gourry are out traveling the Seyruun. Amelia went to live in her castle, and Zelgadis …well no one knows what he is up too, all we know is that Amelia and Zelgadis left each other with heartfelt goodbyes with Amelia giving him her bracelet. ZxA fanfic!
Ch.1
In the castle, Amelia is sitting on her throne, her father, King Philonel, had just recently died. The original king had died of old age. Her father had been King for three months when he was killed. It was assassins that did him in. Killed him in the middle of the night while he slept. Amelia was awake when the assassins tried to attack her. She used her magic to defend herself. So now Amelia is queen, well not yet, she still has to go though her coronation. She sent an invite to Miss. Lina and Mr. Gourry, wherever there are. She would send one to Zelgadis, but she didn't know where he was.
"I wish I knew where Zelgadis is," she said. After thinking of Zelgadis, she started to blush.
I hope he is ok, she thought.
The big doors of the throne room opened, and came in the Grand advisor.
"Ah, your highness," he said, bowing.
"Mister Rangoon, what do you have to tell me?" asked Amelia
"Well your highness, it is about you being queen,"
"Huh?"
"My queen, we are a patriarchal society, so when you become queen, you must marry high born prince,"
"WHAT?"
In the forest beyond the castle, two people are walking towards the castle, it is Lina and Gourry.
"Can you believe in Gourry? Our little Amelia is gonna be Queen," Lina said to Gourry
"Yea, it seems like it was yesterday that we first met," Gourry replied back
"I wonder if she invited Zel,"
"Zelgadis, what for?"
"Gourry, sometimes you're oblivious of the things that happen before your eyes,"
"Huh?"
Lina hits Gourry on the head, they continue their way to the castle.
"NO! I will not marry anyone," Amelia yelled
"Yes, you will! The prince we chose for you is highly recommended," said the grand advisor
"I will only marry the man I truly love,"
"You will not, you will marry the prince, and bow to our wishes,"
"Wish…what? Is this a plot against me?" Amelia replied anxiously
"Yes, with you marry the prince; the Seyruun Family will finally end! And the reign of the Atherons will begin!"
"NO! Digu Volt!" Amelia casted her spells and ran.
"GUARDS! ARREST THE WOULD-BE QUEEN!" yelled the advisor.
Amelia looked back, to see the guards chasing after her.
Why?
She turned to look in front, so she can see where she was going. There up ahead was a man.
"Ah, the would-be queen, how are you today?" asked the man
"Who are you?" she asked back
"Why, I'm your future husband," the man grinned evilly at her.
Amelia gasped, "What?"
"And now this cat and mouse game will end now, Ly Breim!" the mysterious man yelled.
Amelia couldn't escape in time, when the freezing water touched her; she was frozen, for how long? We don't know.
"Done, you will no longer interfere with our plans" the last bit of the man to be seen was his smirk.
Before she was frozen, her soul had screamed for help, but where would this cry of help go?
Somewhere not that far off, on a hill which can see the castle, Zelgadis was sitting, holding Amelia's bracelet. He was gazing at it lovingly, when the blue crystal on it, cracked.
"What?" Zelgadis look toward the castle, knowing something was wrong with Amelia
Amelia, I hope you are all right, just wait I'm coming!
Lina and Gourry had just entered the castle. Ting Ting.
"What was that?" asked Lina
"What was what?" Gourry replied
"It was nothing," with a worried look.
They walked towards the gate.
"Who goes there?" said a guard at the gate
"I, Lina Inverse, I am here by invitation of the would-be queen, Amelia," she hands over her invite to the guard
"Oh! I'm sorry miss, you may go through," the guard said hurriedly
"Thanks!" said Gourry as they passed through the gate.
"Hmm, oh Hey you!" Lina yelled to an old man
"Huh me?" he answered
"Yea, do you know where we can find Amelia?"
"Queen Amelia? I'm her advisor but I do not know where she is," he said
Was there something in his voice? She thought
"Ah, well, we can find her," she turned to Gourry, and they left
The old man glared at the two leaving, then hurrying down to the dungeon.
Deep under the castle, the old man opened two bronze doors. In the room, were giant sacs with things filled in.
"Your majesty! I have bad news!" he yelled
"Yes?" a man turned, it was the prince from earlier
"Someone came looking for the queen!"
"Hmm, "he turns to the sac in front of him. In the sac was Amelia.
"The copy is done anyways," he pressed a button, and the copy fell out
"Where is the original, lord atheron?" asked the adviser
"She is still frozen, in the abandoned tower, and only true love's kiss can unfreeze her, HAHAHA like anyone would love that girl," smirked Lord Atheron
