To Make Me Happy

Ch.9: Apologize

Seylin walked into Catspaw's room and had to work very hard to control his temper. The Goblin King sat in his chair and looked as if nothing had ever happened.

It didn't seem to matter to him that he had injured and frightened a young woman.

Seylin's anger was boiling over by now, and he knew he had to calm down before he said anything, or he risked getting punished or banished from the Goblin Kingdom. He took a deep breath and stepped forward, opened his mouth, and prepared to politely (as he could manage) address last nights incident.

But the king beat him to talking. "Ah, Seylin, my good friend." Then, Seylin's anger boiled over.

.

"Good friend? Good friend!" he shouted. "You hurt and frighten my daughter-in-law twice, and you have the nerve to call me a good friend? Then I would hate to see what it would be like if I was a bad friend!"

A look of pure shock spread across Catspaw's face, but Seylin didn't seem to notice as his rant continued on.

"What's wrong with you? Are you just that unhappy that everyone else has to be miserable too? Well it's your fault! Not Miranda's, not anyone else's! So stop treating her like trash! It's bad enough that you threw her aside for another woman when she was more than willing to marry you, but now this? And twice!"

The look on Catspaw's face went from shock, to anger, to sadness, to outright guilt and shame. He hung his head.

"I'm sorry Seylin. Your right. I shouldn't take this out on her. She'll probably never want to speak with me again. I acted like a fool! I brought this upon myself, but now I'm making her pay the consequences. And that's not fair to her."

Seylin sighed and made his way over to the king's chair. "You are right. She's frightened to death of you and never wants to see you again." He placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I highly suggest, not only as your advisor, but as a friend and father-in-law to Miranda, to apologize to her." Catspaw shook his head.

"She won't want to see me. She'd probably take one look at me and run screaming to her new husband."

Seylin picked up a hint of jealousy and resentment in his voice. "Now don't tell me you despise my son."

Catspaw's eyes clouded over for a moment. "No. I don't hate him. I…I'm just jealous. I'll admit it. He has what I want. Miranda. But I can't have her now." He looked so sad that almost all of Seylin's anger vanished. But not completely.

"You still need to apologize." Seylin told the sad king. "You need to apologize for your actions and stay away from her after that until you can control yourself around her. Remember, this was your choice."

Catspaw nodded his head. "I will apologize just as soon as everything cools down." Seylin agreed. "Just give it a couple of days." With that, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving the goblin king to ponder his actions and how he was ever going to face Miranda again.

END CHAPTER

I am so so so so so so so sorry for the super super long wait and short chapter. I just thought I should hurry and get something posted. It's been pretty hectic at school and I've been pretty distracted lately. I'm sorry. Summer break in one more week and I should be able to get this story finished then.

So a BIG thank you to everyone who stuck with my story and to all the new people. You might not review, but thanks for reading! We'll hopefully hear the apology in the next chapter…Until then!
