Chapter 4 the talk with the Queen
Eugene was still reading his book. He then heard another knock. He wondered who it was this time. "Ugh, maybe it's a servant wanting to give me a gift basket from Lord Herbert asking me for his forgiveness." muttered Eugene to himself. Then he got another surprise when he saw the queen instead of Lord Herbert. "Well, hello your majesty." said Eugene as he bowed before letting Queen Anne come in.
"Hello Eugene, Rapunzel has told me a very interesting story about a man who wouldn't forgive his father because the father did something." said Queen Anne. "I knew it!" thought Eugene for a second. He knew Rapunzel would bring this situation to her parents. He just ignored and listened to the queen. "Why can't you just forgive your father?" asked Queen Anne. "Because he walked out on me and my mother." said Eugene.
"Look Eugene, I'm sorry your father left your mother, but that was when you were…..what? Two weeks?" said Queen Anne. "Isn't there a way you can forgive him?" asked Queen Anne. "No, there isn't. What he did was just too painful. He walked out, broke my mother's heart, left her all alone to care for me, and he killed her." said Eugene. "How did your father kill your mother?" asked Queen Anne shocked at when Eugene said his father killed his mother.
"When I was six years old, my mother got scarlet fever. The doctor we would usually see said he couldn't cure it. My mom told me about my father. I found out that he was rich, and I thought he could help us because he could get one of those good doctors. I wrote a letter to him, but he didn't respond to it. He either threw it away or just didn't get it. My mother died two weeks after I sent that letter. I was very sad that she was gone. I hated my father so much after that. I sometimes wished I could find him and kill him for killing my mother." said Eugene.
Queen Anne was speechless at that story. She had a lot of thoughts after hearing that story. "His mother was poor?" "That's kind of unbalanced that his mother was poor and his father was rich." "Why didn't he respond to that letter?" "That's very sad the way his mother died." "Two weeks must not be a lucky time period for him." "He hated his father that much to want to kill him?" "If he did kill his father, he would've got a crueler punishment from the one from all his thieving."
"Wow! That's a very sad and depressing story." said Queen Anne after a lot of thinking. "I know! Right?" said Eugene. "But that was a long time ago. You need to forgive him." said Queen Anne remembering what she here for: To get Eugene to forgive his father. "Why should I?" asked Eugene coolly. "Because he's family." said Queen Anne still shocked at the story.
"I don't want to forgive that cruel man who killed my mother. You probably don't understand because you didn't have family troubles." said Eugene. "Of course I have! There was…no I stopped that. What about…no my mom stopped that. Maybe…I got nothing." said Queen Anne trying to remember one family trouble she had during her childhood. Sadly, she couldn't think of one family problem to prove her point. "See?" asked Eugene as he picked up his book again. Queen Anne left the room thinking about how to get King Henry to talk to him.
"So…..what happened with Eugene, Anne?" asked King Henry. "Well, Eugene told me he didn't want to forgive his father and told me this sob story about how his mother died." said Queen Anne. "Can we hear it?" asked Rapunzel. "Alright, but I got to warn you. It's a downer." said Queen Anne. "We don't care if it makes us cry our hearts out. We just want to hear It." said King Henry.
"Eugene's mother got scarlet fever and their regular doctor couldn't cure it. They were really poor at that time. Eugene found out his father was rich and wrote a letter to him asking him to get a real good doctor who could cure his mother's scarlet fever. Sadly, his father didn't respond and his mother died two weeks after he sent that letter. He then ended up in the orphanage and spent the rest of his life hating his father so much, he wanted to find him and kill him." said Queen Anne.
"He hated his father that much to do that?" asked King Henry shocked. "That's sadder than that story he told me at the campfire." said Rapunzel. "Henry, can you please talk to Eugene. You knew how to deal with these problems. You had a bunch of family problems." said Queen Anne. "But Anne, I'm just not sure about It." said King Henry. "Please Henry?" asked Queen Anne making a sad face showing her bright green puppy dog eyes. "Fine! I'll go talk to Eugene!" said King Henry as he left the throne room to Eugene's room leaving the women in the throne room.
Up next is the king's conversation with Eugene. Do you think it will go well or will it won't work just like the king said. And what do you think about that story about Eugene's mother dying? Review please! And I'll try to do more chapters during my Fourth of July vacation.
