Queen Nabaat walked.
The sound of her footsteps echoed throughout the long dark hallway as the queen made her way trough it. Heading to the top of the dark spooky looking tower.
Guards lined the walls, bowing to her as she passed. She noted that they weren't nearly similar enough to satisfy her OCD and cursed under her breath. Who the hell was in charge of picking out these men? Someone who wasn't doing a very impressive job that's for sure.
Shrugging the concern off for the moment she continued her stroll to the top of the tower. Reaching the stairs she walked up them for what seemed like an eternity. It was rather dull actually. She wished the damn walls had windows so she could at least look out at her kingdom. Even if it wasn't the biggest kingdom, not even one of the biggest but it was still the greatest. To her. Because it was hers after all.
After what seemed like forever the queen finally made it to the top floor. Pleased to see the two guards standing outside the single door were alert. Nodding with one of her small barely-there-smiles at them . She wouldn't have been smiling she knew the only reason they weren't sitting down on the floor playing rock paper scissor right now was that her footsteps could be heard five minutes before she actually made it up.
The guards grabbed the handles of the double doors and pulled them open for her.
She walked in.
The room was small and dark with no decor or furniture whatsoever. Well except for the big mirror that hung on the far wall.
The queen fixed her long dirt blond hair and adjusted her glasses before speaking.
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"
The mirror responded a bit too quickly.
"Cid Raines" It said.
Nabaat's eyes widened and she frowned deeply, staring at it in disbelief.
"Come again?"
"Yeah Cid Raines pretty smockin'" It said again
"WHAT?" Nabaat spat furiously. Quickly calming herself she still stared daggers at the damn thing "You don't understand, you're supposed to say "You are my queen"
"Well you are pretty but she's... I dunno she's just prettier" The mirror swung a bit as if shrugging.
"Cid Raines is a man" She narrowed her eyes at it.
"What?" The mirror stuttered out surprised "Are you kidding me? With those eyelashes?"
"Oh shut up, they're not that impressive" She crossed her arms over her impressive chest.
"Well damn, what can you do?"
The queen tried to suppress her rage "Are you telling me that good for nothing Cid Raines is fairer than me?"
"Well fairer yes, I'm sure you'll fit better into some other category! like who's the biggest bi-"
"Enough!" Nabatt interrupted. Stomping her foot hard on the ground.
"Guards!" She yelled, summoning the two by the door. They ran into the room in a hurry.
"What is it your highness?"
"I want you to find Snow white and bring him here!"
The guards were silent. Looking at each other uneasily. "Snow white? That's the really tall guy with a bandanna and a hero complex even tough he's never even saved a single princess?"
The queen narrowed her eyes at them, frowning deeply.
"No you idiots" She hissed "That's Goldilocks"
Pushing her glasses up on her nose as she tried to control the annoyance in her voice "Why do we have these codenamed if I am the only one who ever remembers them?"
The guards swallowed loudly. Glancing at each other again uneasily. They sure as hell didn't know why she bothered coming up with these things. They were just really confusing. Same with her codes "Code green" What the hell did that mean? Why couldn't you just say "Oi someone pissed on
the carpet, clean it up" Or would that be code yellow?
The same thing now, the guys name is Snow so why the hell call someone else Snow white? That's just confusing!
"Okay sorry"
She glared.
The guard straightened his position and saluted grandly "I mean my endless apologize your graceful highness! But um... Who is Snow white then?"
"Cid Raines."
Silence.
"Oh"
More silence.
"Why is he called that?"
Nabaat lost her temper and stomped into the ground again "Because his skin is white as snow and he has really light eyes! Honestly how hard can this be to remember?!"
The guards stared at her in horror. She stared right back before pushing her glasses up again. Speaking in a calmer tone "Now go and find him! Oh and while you are at it, get rid of any other pretty people you may find"
The guards nodded and then quickly scrambled down the staircase.
Haha yeah I don't remember what spawned this idea. At least it was pretty entertaining to write. And eh sorry for any mistakes! English is my second language and I tend to get some things wrong hm. Lightning and the rest will show up next time.
