Soon after they had woken, Lief, Barda and Jasmine began trekking towards Broome. They climbed up the last hill of the small range and saw their first glimpse of Broome for a very long time, the walled-city with its white towers and red flags. That was Broome; Sturdy, reliable and safe.
From the city gate came a strongly built woman with a shaved head.
"Lindal!" The three cried.
"Ah, the famous three, what are you doing here, especially you Lief, are you not needed at the palace anymore."
"It is great to see you too," Barda exclaimed.
Lindal punched him playfully on the shoulder, "You haven't changed a bit old bear."
"Lindal, would it be alright if we could stay the night or two in Broome, we are travelling the kingdom," Lief asked.
"It is your country Lief; you can do whatever you want."
Lief smiled thanks, ruling an entire kingdom still felt weird to him.
"Now, let me indulge the three of you to a feast and celebration fit for a King, literally." Lindal ruffled lief's hair.
"Hey!" Lief cried out.
"Sorry, your majesty!" Lindal carried on, trying to annoy Lief.
"I would not have said that Lindal," Jasmine warned, "Lief does not like to be King and hates being reminded of it."
"You would too, if you were Queen, Jasmine." Lief answered, he did not like sounding like a little kid so he put Jasmine in the situation.
"Well I think you are a good King, most of the time anyway."
"What do you mean 'most times' I am a very good King, am I not Barda?"
"Keep me out of this."
"What am I not good at then Jasmine?"
"Well for starters I just gave you a compliment, but if you insist, your meetings are extremely boring."
"I know they are boring, I have to GO to them, you DON'T, and it is not my fault they are boring."
"Well you can at least make them more interesting, and I used to go to them, before they began to drag on!"
"You are the only one complaining about them Jasmine," Lief stated, anger building up inside them.
"Oh so now my opinion does not matter, why don't you ask Timothy what he thinks about them then, you obviously don't care what I think!
"Maybe I will!"
"Then do it, oh wait you can't because you ran away from your duty!"
"It is not like that Jasmine!"
"Then what is it, I do not care anymore," and with that Jasmine stormed into the crowd of the village square, knocking people over as she went.
Barda and Lindal looked at Lief with wide eyes.
"At least she can calm down now, what is with her now days." Lief sat down on the ground and sighed. Getting over their shock, Lindal and Barda looked down at Lief.
"Young love," Barda said and clicked his tongue. Lindal nodded in agreement. Lief shot Barda an evil glare, he was not in the mood for his jokes, especially the ones about him and Jasmine. But Barda just laughed along with Lindal. "Let us go into the banquet hall and prepare for a celebration, royalty IS visiting Broome tonight." Lief just glared at her which she received with childish grin.
