Chapter Two – Home
- SAM POV-
After the strange encounter with the man, I took a few seconds too wrapped up my injured hand then hopped up onto Chaser's back and rode back to the kingdom. Chaser sprinted into a canter and up and down I bounced on his back and we got faster every second of the way. Once I reached the giant gates to the kingdom I put Chaser away in the stables I walked a fast pace in the long red carpet in the long white hallways that glittered when the sun shined through the clear stainless steel glass windows. I came to the end of the hallway, I knocked politely on the large golden doors. When the door opened I saw the king's guards; Ludwig and Gilbert Beilschment the German brothers, they always have each other's backs like brothers should. They happen to be close friends of mine. They both smiled at me. I walked in between them down the long aisle to the throne room. At the end of the long hallway there was four thrones. The king and Queen were in the centre thrones while the prince and princess were on the outside ones. By looking at Alfred's posture slouching in the seat he was bored out of his mind, he only looked up when I was halfway down the aisle and then got the tiniest bit of excitement in his eyes, while Madeline also looked fairly board but didn't show it as much as Alfred did. She was at the very edge of her seat with a very straight back and her hands gently in her lap she was looking very formal like. It also looked like there was an important meeting happening.
All of the people that are in charge of different things were here. There was Yao, an old small Chinese man is in charge of the finance of the kingdom, you better pay him back on time or you will always be in his dept. Laura was a beautiful Belgium woman she is charge of the cooking the kings meals, Bash a Swizz male is a general of the army, his sister stood beside him she is in charge of food stalls. The tall Swedish man, Berwald is a blacksmith, Ivan a tall Russian is in charge of weaponry and armory. Lastly was a Spanish male Antonio and the Italian male, Lovino are the entertainers. They were all on their knees bowing to the royals. The German brothers went down on their knees and I soon followed and bowed.
"Hello Samuel" I hear Arthur address me, I look up to see he gets off my throne and walks up to me. He places a hand on my shoulder and brings me up onto my feet, he then wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a hug. I felt my cheeks warm a bit to the touch. I am not the one to show affection in public. It's a little bit embarrassing for the king to hug me. So I had my arms down to my side. He lets go and looks at me with his emerald eyes. I hear Gilbert snicker, I wacked him in the back of the head. I hear him grunt.
"Well do you have any good new to share?" "What happened to your hand?" I look to see the guys in charge get up and surround us.
"Your majesty I was occupied by someone giving a threat to the kingdom. I tried to stop him, but his knife struck my hand and I lost him"
"I was hit by an arrow and it had a message on it."I hand him the notes that I had received. I see him look at them front and back.
"Do you know what it could mean?" he asked
"I think it may be a warning of an attack" I suggested, I hear the others whisper to each other. I hear the doors open everyone turns to see who it was. It was the Beautiful Hungarian woman, in charge of fashion and battle stately. Elizabeta. She happens to be my girlfriend and I will never stop loving her and never get over how beautiful she is no matter how many times I see her.
"Forgive me your majesty, I'm late" she says in her thick Hungarian accent. She comes to my side and slips her hand into my uninjured one. She stands on her tippy toes and kisses my cheeks. I feel myself blushing again and Gilbert snickering, I wacked him on the back of his head again and so did Elizabeta did. I explain to Liz, what we were discussing so far.
"Are you alright?" she asks in a caring voice, I smile at her
"I'm fine" "what should I tell the people, your majesty?'
"Nothing. We don't need them to panic. We will wait a little long for anymore messages" I bow my head in respect.
"You are all free to go now" he addresses to the others. Liz and I went separate ways. She went back home, I went to the stables to attend to Chaser. When I met with Chaser again he pranced happily over to me and gave me some kind of awkward hug. I rubbed his neck in greeting.
I hear someone cough, I turn to see Arthur standing there with his heavy crown on his forehead and with his long red robe off of his shoulders down to the floor.
"Good evening, your majesty" I say he rolls his eyes
"I've told you to stop calling me that and call me dad"
"What do you want?" I asked as I grabbed Chaser's his oats. I hearing him munching loudly happily to get a nice meal.
"I want you to come to the ball tomorrow, so we can celebrate, Alfred and Maddie's birthdays and for your return"
"I was only gone two days" I commented
"I know, but I want you to come"
"Your majesty, I'm not the one to go to fancy balls they are not my thing" I tell him
"I want you to come. It will be good for Alfred. He missed you dearly when you're gone on your trips."
"I do it for you"
"I know. But sometimes you overwork the ball would be a great way to relax"
"Fine I'll go" I gave up and gave into his request"
"Thank you, Samuel"
"Dad, I'm worried about the invaders"
"I know you are, but try not to worry, I am also worry for the peoples and what would happen to them" he smiles sadly at me.
"At least let me start preparing for an escape for Maddie and Alfred. So they can get a better chance"
"Very well, you may start" "You should know that when the kingdom is taken over it's usually the previous King and Queens to go. Yes, it would be better if all of my children escape. That means you as well"
"I'm going to stay and protect you and the people" I say strongly I step right in front of him, his only an inch taller than me.
"Samuel, you are just one person. The kingdom is too large for you to save" He puts a hand on my shoulder. I sometimes forgot that he is my father my biological father or mother left me here without a word. I gave years ago trying to find answers. This also the only affection he has given to me in a long time.
"I want to save you. You saved me all of those years ago. I was only a baby. Let me save you this time"
"Samuel you are so brave, I am proud of your courage and your loyalty towards the kingdom. I don't want you to save me. I want you to save yourself." "I am forever grateful for whoever left you on my doorstep I was given another son" he leans forward and kisses my forehead.
"Aw, I missed the special bonding" I see the Queen, leaning against the doorframe, I blushed again.
"I need to get going home and see Liz" I tell them but I was trapped in hug by my mother
"Bonjour, my son" she gives me a kiss on my cheek
"Stop" I whined I hear her laugh at me and let's go of me she places both of he hands on my shoulder forcing me to look at her.
"Sweetheart, I have a question for you, when are you going to propose?" she asks, I quickly escaped from her grasp and quickly left the stables without looking back.
