Chapter 2: War Has Come
Seda sat on his horse next to the main road as his father's body was carried in a coffin. The sky was gray, covered in clouds as the first rain drops fell on the funeral. Seda let tears drop off his face as the rain covered it. "How did this happen" he muttered as he looked up to the sky.
"We hereby dub Seda as the new king" shouted the prime minister to the crowd in the throne room as everyone clapped and he put a crown on Seda's head. "Thank you prime minister" said Seda as he stood up. Seda turned towards the crowd as he started his speech. "Thank you people for being here, I would like to thank you all for crowning me in the mists of my father's death, now then everyone enjoy the party!" he said as everyone began to party. Seda sighed as he sat down on the throne. He was happy to be king, but it just seemed so hard pretending to be at least joyful in the short time after his father's death. "Do I always have to act this way?" he muttered to himself as he got up to join the people. "Congrats on your crowning" said a kid as he shoke Seda's hand. "Thank you" said Seda putting a fake smile on his face. He quickly walked away when the kid let go of his hand though. Seda quickly made his way outside, to the balcony as toke off his crown. "This is tougher then I thought" he said out loud as he leaned against the balcony, suddenly noticing the girl on the corner of the balcony. "Oh sorry did I disturb you?" he asked before realizing that he disturbed her when he asked. "Oh, no your weren't" the girl quickly said as she turned towards him. When she turned towards him he recognized her, the girl from the community event. "Sophia?" he asked shocked at seeing her again after all this time. "Oh, you remember me!" she said as she stepped towards him. "Yeah, I couldn't forget someone like you" he said as he stopped leaning on the rail. "Thanks, that's a nice thing to say" said Sophia as she stopped in front of him. "So what's going on?" asked Seda. "Not much, just walking around" said Sophia as he nodded. "Well, hopefully things stay this peaceful" said Seda as he turned around and looked at the bright night sky. "Yeah" said Sophia as she put her hand over his, making Seda blush. "The stars are really nice tonight" said Seda as a shooting star few pass the two moons their world owned.
The next few weeks were maddening, as said by Seda. He had fallen in love with Sophia and they had hit of off instantly. He was spending time with her every chance he got and they were soon to be going steady. "This is what I do for my love" muttered Seda as he got up from his bed from another late night date. "Your majesty!" shouted his messenger. "Sophia is here!" ..."Your majesty, are you up?" the messenger asked after not hearing a reply. "I'm coming!" he shouted as he quickly rushed out the door fully dressed, then quickly ran to the gate. "Love these days" the messenger laughed to himself.
_TIME SKIP_
"I hereby dub you husband and wife" said the priest as the whole kingdom cheered for their new queen. "This is the most wonderful moment in my life" Seda said to himself as he looked at the girl he loved holding his arm. Sophia turned and smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss. Little did Seda know this was going to be the last of his happiness he would have for a long time.
-Throne Room-
"Your Majesty!" shouted a messenger as Seda was sitting next to his queen in the throne room. "What is it messenger" said Seda as he sat on the throne. "Sire the west has sent troops into the east border!" said the messenger as Seda quickly got up, and Sophia giving him a worried look. "Repeat that message" Seda said as the messenger quickly repeated the message. "This is bad" said Seda as he thought up what to do. "Get the troops ready!, we will meet them in battle" said Seda as he started to leave the throne room with the messenger running out of the room to call all the troops to arms. Sophia quickly caught up to Seda as he walked into his room. "Where are you going" she asked hoping that he wasn't going to battle. "I will lead my troops, and hopefully bring us victory" said Seda as Sophia nodded. "Just come home ok?" she said as Seda nodded. "Nothing will keep me from coming back to you, I promise" said Seda as he kissed Sophia. She returned the kiss with full force as they spilt ways. Sophia left the room with a sad smile. Seda quickly ran to the chest in the corner of the room. When he opened it inside was a full set of his iron armor, and the huge sword he had gotten when he cleared the dungeon. He would lead his men, and he would come home alive he thought to himself, hopefully. The messenger ran into his room at full speed. "The troops will be ready soon sir" said the messenger as Seda nodded. They would win this battle and war, no matter the cost.
