A/N: All right I know that is a weird way to start a story because it starts out fast and is sad right away but stay with me it will get better. The next chapters will not be sad through the whole thing like the first one. Also Frey in the next chapters will generally be happier. Not like his little suicidal spasm didn't happen but not extremely depressed. Can't have an emo prince through my whole story. Also to note that the castle is going to be bigger then it was in the game because lets face it an army of thousands in that castle just isn't possible. So just go along with my descriptions if I change a room around a bit I did it because it had to be done.
Oh and can't forget my one reviewer tedismyhero by the way you wrote my favorite story, which is pretty much why I wanted to try this. I was waiting for at least one review to update and they did so now I can.
As Miakis and Frey came upon the door leading to the mess hall they could hear shouts coming from the other side. As Frey and Miakis walked in they could see a large amount of people standing around a single table. There were two people sitting down at the table stuffing their face with food. The Dining hall was huge; it stretched the entire length of the castle. You could barely see the tables at the other end of the hall.
"Alright before I lose my appetite lets get our food," suggested Frey turning around to look at Miakis who only nodded in response. As soon as Frey turned back a smirk appeared on her face. They walked up to Resto who was cooking the food and serving it.
"Hey, Resto what's for breakfast today." Asked the Prince who first got a strange look from Resto in return and then he answered.
"Umm…well anything you want really we are trying to get rid of all the food since everyone is returning to their homes soon and well umm…prince can you answer me one thing?"
"Yes."
"Why are you still dressed in your sleeping robes…I mean I thought it might matter since you're the prince and all, you wouldn't want to look sloppy especially since we have guests today."
Frey was shocked and looked down to see that Resto was correct he was in his sleeping robes. With all the commotion this morning he forgot to change. He turned to Miakis to ask her why she didn't say anything but he discovered the answer before he even said anything. Miakis was laughing so hard she had to grab her stomach. If that wasn't enough she almost fell over and had to lean on a table to keep herself up. Now he knew why she giggled when he looked back at her on the staircase.
"Oh my god it hurts, hahaha, make it stop."
"Well…this is embarrassing and thank you Resto at least you my friend enough to tell me the truth," Frey said as he glared at Miakis
"Oh lighten up…it's funny, his Royal Highness dress up in the clothes that he sleeps in."
What ever," Frey sighed "I'm going to go change before anyone else sees me."
Frey began running to the exit of the dining hall.
"That's going to be hard seeing how the entire army is here!" shouted Miakis before he went out the door.
"Well anyway Resto just give me some bread I'm not really that hungry this morning."
Miakis began giggling again as Resto went to fetch her some bread. She couldn't believe he forgot to change even with all the commotion this morning. Commotion thought Miakis.
"Oh my God," shouted Miakis and ran off. Resto came back with a loaf of bread but Miakis was nowhere to be found. He just shrugged and left it their figuring she would come back later and pick it up.
Miakis was running up the stairs back to Frey's room. How could I be so stupid she thought leaving the prince alone in his room after what just happened this morning. She quickened her pace hoping that he wouldn't dare try committing suicide again. She reached his door and flung it open and rushed in.
"Prince don't---," she cut herself off. Frey was just standing there changing his clothes
"Don't what," asked Frey?
"Oh…umm…nothing," Miakis then realized that Frey didn't have a shirt on. He just had his pants on and Miakis blushed and quickly turned away and faced the door. Wow she thought when the prince get that good looking. The war must have gotten him in better shape he has nice abs now and his long silver hair let down just made the look more complete. Frey now noticing that he didn't have a shirt on just laughed a little. He didn't care he went shirtless a lot more now since he had training sessions every day since the war started. He usually trained with Kyle or George so he guessed Miakis just never saw him with his shirt off before.
"Well prince the umm breakfast is really ready now, if you want to come down and get some," Miakis still blushing and finding this a little awkward. She wanted to leave but the rules of the Queen's Knights ran through her head. "Entering a room to check on the status of a royal family member you cannot leave until they dismiss you". Damn she hated rules.
Frey noticed that Miakis felt awkward although he had no idea why she had never acted like this before around him and instead of messing with her like she would do if he felt awkward he just said, "Miakis just wait outside until I finish changing."
"Yes your majesty," Miakis who was already looking for a way out rushed out of the room and shutting the door behind her. Majesty she thought since when have I called him that. I got so nervous I spoke in formalities. She figured she would have to be more careful now. She can't just barge into his room anymore, he was starting to become quite a fine young gentlemen.
After a few minutes Frey walked out of his room and then they both were walking back to the Dining hall when Frey turned and said to Miakis "Hey umm Miakis since when did you start answering me with formalities."
Miakis quickly thinking up an excuse "Well you know I figured I should me more formal since we will be returning to the Palace soon."
"That would make sense…if you actually spoke in formalities before the war when we were living at the Sun Palace."
"Miakis gave him a quick look and then stared at the floor trying to come up with another excuse.
Frey signed, "Look Miakis if you can't tell me then you don't have to but just no more formalities, alright."
"Alright."
"Good, just like my father use to say…" Frey just stopped, Speaking, walking, and smiling. He completely froze. All the memories came back to him, everything. His Parents Death, Sialeeds betrayal then her death, Lyon's death, and he even thought about the events that occurred this morning.
"Prince are you alright," she asked.
Frey didn't respond, it didn't even seem like he herd her. Miakis quickly realized what he was thinking about and then decided she had to act first before it got out of hand. She got a idea, a bad one, but she had to do something.
"No more formalities you say, does that mean act like your not a prince," and as she said that she punched him in the chest. Not a hard punch but one that would be good enough to wake him out of his memories. Frey bent over and grabbed his chest.
"Hey what was that for!" he shouted but when he looked up Miakis was already half way done the hallway. "What was she thinking," Frey said to himself.
Miakis turned a corner and then put her back to the wall and waited for Frey. She didn't think about it back there but what if Frey took the punch as Miakis not caring about him being depressed. She didn't want to add to his injuries already, well mental injuries. She waited now just incase if he was going to have another spasm.
She heard someone walking closer to her, and she held her breath. As Frey walked by she jumped onto his back. Trying to grab onto his shoulders, she accidentally ripped the tie that was holding his hair in the braid.
"Hey there prince mind giving me a ride," She said while leaning over his shoulder to look at his face, hoping that he wasn't angry with her. The problem was she couldn't she his face since for his loose hair now covered it. Then Frey turned his head at look at her with smile.
"Oh you punch me and then want me to give you a ride," Frey said sarcastically.
"Yup pretty much you said stop with the formalities so I figured for all the pay back of being a body guard you could give me a piggy back ride."
Frey sighed "fine just this once, since you're already up there, but you have to braid my hair again when we get to the Dining hall."
"Deal."
As Frey carried Miakis she said to herself "when he get so strong he use to be such a scrawny guy."
"What was that?" asked Frey "I couldn't hear you."
"Oh nothing, nothing."
They finally reached the Dining hall doors and shouts could still be heard inside. Miakis hoped off Frey and then they entered.
"Ahh, now that looks like our prince, well except the hair, but hey still looks good," Resto said handing them their breakfast.
Usually Frey and Miakis would join the town leaders for breakfast but today Frey didn't want to talk about what their plans should be now. He wanted to stay with his army, the army that fought with him to win this war.
"Hey Miakis can we just eat in the dining hall today," asked Frey
This was a complete surprise usually Frey loved to talk and eat with the elders This made her worry a bit and it showed on her face.
Frey knowing she thought something was wrong simply said, "Oh, come now Miakis nothing is wrong I just wish to eat with my men."
"Alright," sighed Miakis "where shall we sit."
Frey scanned the horizon. Most of the seats were taken and he didn't just want to sit at an empty table with him and just Miakis. He was afraid that rumors would spread in the army.
Then he saw two innocent young ladies sitting and talking with each other. Then he saw Kyle walk over to them, lean on the table and say something. One girl responded, and then they both laughed, grabbed their breakfast and left. Kyle sat down and put his head down on the table.
"Lets sit there," Frey said pointing at the table Kyle was at.
Miakis and Frey walked over to the table where Kyle was and Frey sat next to him and Miakis said across from Frey. Kyle lifting one hand and moving the hair out of his eye to look and see who sat down.
"Oh, hey prince," Kyle said putting his hand back down to cover his face back up again.
"Struck out again did ya Kyle," mocked Frey
"Whatever they didn't look that good up close, the reason I went up to them was because I saw them on the other side of the dining hall," Kyle suddenly sat up and looked at Frey "Hey prince your about that age you wanna come scouting with me. Owww"
Miakis kicked him under the table.
"Just because you have bad habits and judge your women on looks alone doesn't mean you can make the prince follow your habits."
Kyle gave Miakis a stern look and then when she looked down to cut some bread he leaned over and whispered into Frey's ear "seriously they would love you, you would score before you know it, especially with that new hair style of yours."
"Um…I don't think so Kyle maybe some other time," answered Frey. Kyle just shrugged and put his head back on the table.
"Hey what about our deal we had, " Frey said turning to Miakis and holding up a little tie.
"Oh right, right hear let me help."
She picked up her chair and walked over and sat behind Frey. She took the tie in her teeth and then began braiding his hair. Frey just continued eating, which was a little difficult when someone was trying to fix your hair.
"Stop moving,"
"I'm trying to eat."
"Well to bad, starve for the next two minutes."
As Frey and Miakis were still arguing a women could be heard.
"Is that Prince Freyjadour," gasped the women.
Miakis and Frey looked up to see a woman in about her thirties to forties.
"Umm…yes that is ma'am but please don't bother him." said a soldier that seemed to be escorting a group of people. It was to late she ran right up to the table Frey and his guard's were sitting at.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, what do I say what do I do, oh my, oh my" the woman was extremely excited.
"Now that is enough of that, please I am a regular person, I just happen to be the son of our late queen."
"Please let me just kiss your hand, that all I ask."
At this Kyle looked up and Frey looked over at the two Queen's Knights. He could tell that Miakis was trying to hold in her laughter. Kiss his hand surly he didn't deserve that.
"Now come, you don't really want to do that." Frey said desperately trying to change her mind.
"Oh but I do I really want to." The woman said getting even more excited.
Frey turned back to the Knights hoping for some help but they both had their heads down on the table trying to control their laughter. He couldn't believe he was about to let her to this.
"Alright, you may kiss my hand," Frey said reluctantly. The laughter grew louder from the supposedly chivalrous Queen's Knights.
"Oh really, yes, yes, yes, yes, thank you, thank you."
She moved closer and got down on her knees. Frey reach his hand out, he couldn't believe he was about to do this. Not just because it was embarrassing for her but it was embarrassing for him too.
Miakis and Kyle looked up to see the actual kiss; their smiles couldn't get any bigger.
The woman did a type of bow but on her knees. She placed one hand on her chest, and the other out to take Frey's hand. She then bowed her head and then looked back up at Frey's eyes. He didn't want to make eye contact but it was unavoidable. She had chestnut brown eyes and when he looked into them he didn't see happiness, or excitement. He saw sadness, true sadness. This didn't make sense, he thought to himself, why was she so said and yet acted so happy.
"Thank you Prince Freyjadour." She then took a pause and put her head back down. When she raised it and looked back at Frey her eyes had hatred and anger in them now. Frey began to get a bad feeling.
"Thank you Prince Freyjadour--," she paused again, and then shouted, "—for letting me end your life.
Kyle and Miakis immediately lost their smiles. The soldiers around them turned to see what the shouting was about since the other shouts were coming from the other end of the Dining hall. The Woman tightened the grip on Frey's hand and then yanked him out of his chair and off his feet. The hand that rested on her chest reached into her cloak and pulled out a knife.
Frey was flying towards her as she point the knife right at his chest, with a huge smile on her face.
