Hey people! Two things. 1, I may have counted wrong on the tallies for the new story, but I'll see about that after this is done. 2, some probably already told you about this, and I hope you understand and are with me too. I'm not trying to sound mean at all, but Marshall the Fox is being a child. Ok that was mean, but understand that he's making several lies about everyone who knows my friend, tiaara15 and is trying to making their lives horrible, threatening them, and being immature. Please know that what he said about me on his poll is NOT true. I'm never rude to anyone...'cept him, but I regret it and I hope this feud will soon end. I hope you all are still on my side and please don't hate me, or anyone. Thank you and enough of that.
Chappie 11.
Back at the castle, Aqua was walking down the hallway to the throne room. She was shaking inside knowing what the king would ask. Her thoughts were running all over in her head wondering what would be the first he would do. Accuse her of making the princess run away, hang her, be thrown into the dungeon for all eternity, many more came into her thoughts making her more nervous than she thought.
Aqua came to the large doors to the throne room along with two guards, a lion and a hawk standing tall on both sides of the doors. She looked at both nervously and sighed, "Here goes..." she whispered before opening the doors slowly.
She walked in gripping her sleeves of her dress tightly between her fingers. Aqua took a few steps more to see the king upon his throne awaiting her arrival. She gulped seeing a stern look in his eyes, which was occasionally used to since he had that look since, but this time, it's more then his usual look. King Richard saw the maid come in and cleared his throat, "Come closer." he ordered.
The aqua blue maid gulped again, then slowly got a bit closer so she was right in front of the stairs coming down from the throne. She bowed her head to him, grabbing her skirt from both sides and lifts them up curtsying, "Yes, your majesty?" she asked trying to hide her quivering voice.
Richard looked down at her with fists clenched on the arms of his seat, "I was hoping of seeing my daughter instead of you, ms Aqua." he said in a scolding tone.
"Uh...yes...well, sire...um..." she stuttered trying her best to think of a way out, "You see...".
"I'm waiting...".
"...shes...she's in the studies. Yes, in the studies with master Silver." she lied.
Richard scratched his chin eyeing her down, "Really?" he asked, "Is that so?".
Aqua nodded quickly, "Yes, sire. I assure you, she is well in the studies. Silver is taking care of her now and helping her to learn well.".
The king wasn't buying it at all. He hated the fact she was lying to him which only enraged him inside, "Then I want her here and now!" he bellowed, "I want her here for a very important news to bring!".
The maid shook slightly at his harsh voice, "B-but sire, she's learning now-" she was interrupted when she suddenly heard the doors open behind her.
"Your highness, I brought the book you wished to read!".
Both heads turned to see a silver furred hedgehog walking in the room with an old book in his hand and a smile on his face. He wore a long blue robe down to the floor with very large sleeves almost touching the floor as well. He wore a long sapphire gem stone around his neck with gold wire wrapped around the sides. He had five long spiky quills on the top of his brow and golden eyes. He walked in coming up next to Aqua and showed the book up to the king.
Richard looked at the book first, then back at Aqua more angrily, "So if she was with Silver, then why isn't she with him right now?" he asked.
Aqua looked down nervously trying to think of another way out. Silver looked to his left seeing the nervousness on her face. He didn't understand what was going on, yet he was willing to help, "Sire, what is wrong?" he asked.
"Ms Aqua here said the princess was in the studies with you. But I can see she wasn't so she dared to lie to me!" Richard shouted making the poor maid jump slightly.
Silver looked back at Aqua seeing slight tears in her eyes. He hated seeing woman like this, so with a smile, he looked back up to the king, "That is correct, your majesty." he pointed out.
Aqua looked at him confused and shocked. Richard was about to respond till he was quickly interrupted, "But you see, the princess is in the studies. I told her to wait on her learning and I would be coming right back after I have given you the book you had wanted. She is a very good girl, I must say." he smiled after saying his brilliant lie.
The little maid smiled inside knowing he had her back. Silver was always there for everyone, and not to mention, an excellent liar at that. Richard couldn't see the problem in his lie since he's known him since, and trusted him deeply. Silver had been Amy's teacher her entire life, so he could trust him fully. He nodded, "Very well then. Thank you, Silver. You may leave. And for you..." he quickly looked over to Aqua who instantly brought her head up to meet his eyes, "You may leave as well...".
She smiled at him and nodded, "Thank you, s-sire!" she said happily bowing her head with Silver bowing as well.
As the two left finally after being dismissed, Aqua looked up to him after the doors were closed, "Thank you so much, master Silver." she said with a smile, "I would've been in much bigger trouble if you hadn't come and saved me!".
Silver smiled back and patted her on the head, "Of course, my lady." he said, "I hate to see young woman in dire need, so I do all I can.".
Aqua smiled at him and nodded, "But", she looked up at him seeing a good stern look on his face with his arms crossed, "I do like to know why the princess is missing.".
She gulped quietly knowing that she still wasn't in the clear just yet.
Poor Aqua. But glad Silver was there to help her out. Ok, I need just a few more OCs please. Just a few, not a whole lot. So Pm me, or tell me in the review of what they look like and maybe their powers if you like. Thats it. Thank you and BYENEEE!
