Authors Note - Hello! It's me again! I'm so sorry I haven't been on for a while, been out of action due to one thing or another and I just haven't felt the need to write anything so far. Add to the fact it gets so cold in my house sometimes that I can't type it's not very good :/
This is Cinderella (2015) story. I watched it the other day and I'm just hooked! Although I've always love the concept of Cinderella and the happily ever after even though I know such things won't happen in real life.
I just loved Kit and Ella and I had a few ideas on where I wanted it to go. Such as what happens after they leave Ella's house and before the wedding.
Disclaimer - I do not own any of the things in my story just the plot line of what happens!
Chapter One - When you are king, I shall be Queen
Lavender Blue dilly dilly, Lavenders Green dilly dilly,
When you are King dilly dilly, I shall be Queen,
Who told you so dilly dilly, who told you so,
'Twas my own heart dilly dilly, that told me so.
The words echoed through the house and to the outside, where the Duke, Captain of the Guard were stood as well as the Lady Tremaine, who suddenly looked terrified. She slowly started to close the door hoping to do it while they were all distracted. The Captain of the Guard looked towards Lady Tremaine before she could succeed and asked in his deep voice there were any more maidens in the household.
Her shrill laugh sounded slightly panicked as her eyes darted briefly over to the Grand duke before answering. "No, my lord. Of course not, there is only me and my two daughters." Her voice sounded as nervous as she looked as her eyes kept flickering over to the Grand Duke. His answer was sarcastic. "Then has your cat learned to sing?" her eyes going even wider as her laugh became strained she focused her gaze on the Grand Duke, who got the message.
"Let's go, there is no one else here." The Grand Duke started to walk down the steps but was distracted along with everyone else by the Captains exclamation. "But she is clearly lying, Your Grace!"
Call up your men dilly dilly, send them to work,
Some to the plough dilly dilly, some to the fork,
Some to make hay dilly dilly, so to cut corn,
While you and I dilly dilly, Keep ourselves warm.
"I trust this women, she seems very reliable and trustworthy. If she says there is no one else here, then I believe her." The Grand Duke dismissed his theory without having to say much more and since he was of a higher station than the Captain, Cornelius had no choice but to concede to the Duke's wishes. A relieved smile came upon the Lady Tremaine's face as a defeated look came upon the Captains face as they both headed down the steps. "Thank you for your hospitality my lady." The Grand Duke gave a pointed look at her and her smile grew, only to disappear completely at movement behind the two men.
One of the guards from the front row pulled off his hat and handed it to the man on the left and then did the same to his cape and passed that to the man on the right revealing Kit underneath, the New king. "Such a beautiful sound, it makes you want to tarry a little doesn't it Grand Duke?" a relieved smile came upon Cornelius's face as both he and the Grand Duke bowed, the Duke's a little stiffer than his. Behind them, Lady Tremaine breathed out an "Your majesty" all the while sinking to the floor in what could be perceived as a curtsy.
Lavenders green dilly dilly, Lavenders Blue,
You must love me dilly dilly, for I love you,
Let the birds sing dilly dilly, and the Lambs play,
We shall be safe dilly dilly, out of harm's way.
"Your Majesty we were just. -" the Grand duke stepped forward to placate the King only to be interrupted and ignored entirely. The King climbed down from his horse and looked towards Lady Tremaine before turning to the Captain. "Would you please search for the maiden singing that lovely song?" a wide smile was on Cornelius's face as he bowed once more to his friend. "It would be my pleasure, your Majesty." Turning, he too looked at the lady who reluctantly stood aside and let him in the house. The Grand Duke went to speak up but was silenced with one look as the king walked towards the door the Lady Tremaine and the Captain had gone through to go towards what he thought to be the sitting room. He motioned 2 of the guards to follow him as he remembers how vocal the step sisters were and didn't want them to be all over him.
I love to dance dilly dilly, I love to sing,
When I am king dilly dilly you shall be king,
Who told me so dilly dilly, who told me so,
I told myself so dilly dilly, I told me so.
The King let himself be lost in thought, clutching to glass slipper that was in his hand, hoping and praying that the wonderful singing he could hear was the mysterious girl who wore glass slippers to a ball and lost them when she ran away from said ball. And was also the woman he loved. If not, then he didn't know what to do with himself because this indeed was the last house to check in the whole kingdom.
He trusted the Captain to find her, he was his most trusted friend and the Captain had never let him down before. The Grand Duke on the other hand... He told himself to think of that later, when he'd found his true love and asked her to marry him.
Lavenders green dilly dilly, Lavenders Blue,
You must love me dilly dilly, for I love you,
Let the birds sing dilly dilly, and the Lambs play,
We shall be safe dilly dilly, out of harm's way.
Heavy footsteps down the stairs alerted him to someone approaching and he came to the conclusion that it must be the Captain, as neither the Lady Tremaine or the girl from the ball would have such heavy steps. He turned, a hopeful look on his face only for it to fall at the solemn look on his friends face.
"Is it not. -" the Kings slow speech was cut off by Cornelius but at this point he didn't care. "No, it is her. You may want to follow me." The way the Captain looked and sounded didn't bode well to how the mysterious girl was although he knew she was alive by the singing they had all been hearing up until the Captain had gone upstairs.
Nodding, he swallowed nervously, still clutching the glass slipper in his hand as he followed his childhood friend up the stairs, wondering what awaits him up there.
Lavenders green dilly dilly, Lavenders Blue,
You must love me dilly dilly, for I love you,
Let the birds sing dilly dilly, and the Lambs play,
We shall be safe dilly dilly, out of harm's way.
Authors Note - Hope you liked the first chapter! I don't really know where this is going but it was just a plot bunny that came into my head and I just had to write it down! Please tell me what you think! Hopefully the next chapter should be longer but I actually wondering whether or not to make this a Songfic? With different song on each chapter that relate to the situation? Let me know!
