Chapter 34

Note: Mr. Shortman92 Bahahaha! I didn't even realize I did that. These chapters I work on throughout the day. It is not just one chapter at a time it's one chapter over a handful of days at most. So apologize it I continue to do it without realizing I am. This is why I write fanfics and not sell my horridly written stories!

I decided I wanted to do a view of Sofia and see what kind of day she has with her Brother!

Enjoy!

Sofia watched as Cedric sprouted his wings and elegantly exited through the window, hearing her brother praise him for his display made her even more confused. Between calling him king to now the fascination he showed in the display.

"James?"

James turned at hearing his name,

"Yes Sof?"

"I was wondering why you called him your King."

James shrugged his shoulders,

"Cedric isn't all that bad, well yes he's bad in the sense he has done some horrible things but since you have been locked up and the people who remained in this town will tell you, he has done some great things and has helped out a lot. With the amount of power e has Enchancia has thrived even more so then when Dad had the crown."

"So you have respect for the man who has forcefully taken the thrown and your title to be the next King of Enchancia?"

Chuckling to his sister he walked up wrapping an arm around her shoulders escorting her along the halls to exit to the town below them.

"Well I wasn't too fond of the idea of being King, yes it would have been a great honor and I wouldn't say I respect him per say. I would call it more, admire his drive to pursue and obtain the obtainable and working hard for what he wanted."

Sofia shuddered at her brother's use of the words, what he wanted. In her heart she knew to keep that bit a secret for now at least. Quickly changing the subject not wishing to discuss this matter of how her brother would describe his weird admiring affection towards the man who took her father's kingdom and her innocence.

"How are Mother and Father?"

James stopped in his tracks his face grim,

"There all fine in the health department but father has taken it the hardest losing the kingdom, at first he kept trying to get are once allies to help fight to get you back even though no one could get through the fog that use to be around the kingdom. Shockingly all the kingdoms have sent marriage requests to Cedric. Wishing that their daughters would be wed and to obtain his great power for their own personal alliance. Amber is crushed because her wedding got called off with Prince Hugo due to her now not being Royal since the takeover and having no land or power. Mom well, she isn't doing well. I keep coming back to get reports to see if you are well but I have lied to her saying that I haven't gotten in yet. It's the only thing keeping her going; she is so worried about you."

Sofia looked to the ground tearing up,

"I feel horrible about everything; I wish I could fix things.

James stood in front of Sophia placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Sof, none of this is your fault. Don't beat yourself up over any of this."

Wiping her tears away she wraps her arms around her brother burying her face in his chest. They remained like this until Sofia was the one to step away.

"We should head into town now; I am in desperate need of clothes and to order food to be delivered."

James kissed the top of his sister's head and grabbing her hand,

"Then let's get going, I promised the King to return you by nightfall and we all know he isn't one to mess with."

James chuckled saying it more as a joke but Sofia took it seriously. The rest of the walk into town was silent, once approaching the town she noticed a lot less people where here and the ones that were had the appearance that she remembered from before. Everyone was hard at work doing their daily grind, the quietly went by many heading to the tailors. James opened the door letting Sofia go first, a bell chimed letting the owner know that they had a customer.

Sofia heard a familiar grunting from the back of the building, when the young woman walked out from the back to greet her customers. Both Sofia and the young woman covered their mouth holding in a gasp of pure happiness.

"Sofia? Is that really you?"

Sofia nodded before running up hugging her friend that had grown since the last she remembered.

"Ruby, I have missed you. How are you, how is everyone?"

Ruby returned her hug before letting go,

"Much has changed in the years Cedric has ruled us. But let's not talk depressing matters; you must be here because you are in need of clothes. Let's get your measurements and get your order ready. Can't take all your time and being the only tailor left in town I am crazy busy."

Ruby noticed James as she was pulling Sofia in the back to measure her, her face flushed before hastily taking Sofia in the back. Sofia called out to James before disappearing to the back,

"Wait out here, be done in a moment."

James smiled waving her off; Sofia looked at her friend noticing the blush on her face.

"You still like my brother?"

Ruby covered her face in embarrassment,

"Yes I do, he comes by often and some days it's just impossible to look at him. He still doesn't know that I like him more than just a friend."

Ruby sighs before grabbing her tape to measure Sofia,

"I can talk to him if you want; he has been staying at the Castle and from what I have gathered it having a bit too much fun messing with Cedric. It is almost like they are friends; it's very entertaining to watch."

Ruby laughs lightly as she works around Sophia gathering all the information she need,

"Honestly that is hard to believe, don't get me wrong. Cedric has turned out to be a great King to live under he just doesn't give off that vibe of friendly or that anyone would even be willing to be around him for any amount of time."

Sophia nodded in agreement,

"Oh, James told me on the way here that apparently everyone is sending Cedric wedding request to try to marry off their daughters to him."

Ruby chuckled,

"I feel sorry for those princesses; I doubt being his wife will be a walk in the park. I am not sure what it is but something about him just feels off. Well I got the measurements that I need, what were you thinking of ordering?"

Sofia was thankful for the change in topic she didn't want to tell anyone yet about her new found power, not until she would be able to control them. It was all still too new to her to be spreading around the news that she was a Deity now. Heading back up to the front of the shop she noticed James wasn't around,

'I wonder were my bother went.' She thought.

"I think Ill just take a few light weight dresses and a riding outfit for now, you can have fun with the colors. I wish I could stay but it looks like my brother has vanished and I need to go to the Market and order some food for the Castle."

"It was great seeing you, come back anytime Sofia."

"Don't worry I promise."

Ruby and Sofia hugged each other before Sofia left to go do the rest of her errands, walking out of the shop she walks through town heading to the market. Stopping at the town farmers stall she looked down at the foods, the Male farmer then realized who she was.

"Princess Sofia! When did you get back into Enchancia?"

The Farmer had said it loud enough for the other townspeople to catch wind of it and soon she was surrounded by the townspeople asking her the same questions of, how was she doing, when did she get back. So on and so forth, it made her head spin a little bit at the sudden chaos that surrounded her.

"He everyone, I am doing well. I haven't been back long and came into town to order some items for the Castle."

Some gasps could be heard through the crowd, this puzzled her but she ignored it for now.

"I would really love to talk to everyone but I am in a little bit of a rush,"

After a few more excited townspeople talking to her they all went back on their way or back to their stall. A bit on the flustered side from that she turns back to the farmer she originally wanted to talk with.

"I am sorry about that Princess; I was just so shocked to see you again after so long."

Sofia smiled warmly,

"No need to be sorry, I believe I would be in the same situation if I had just seen someone after a long absence."

"Thank you Princess, I know this isn't my best crop but it's been a little hard to get back on are feet after the fog kept the sun from reaching the crops."

Shaking her head she smiled again,

"No need to worry, I have actual came to ask you to start sending a small shipment up to the castle every week."

The farmer looked worried at the prospect of having to travel up to the castle; Sofia grabbed his hand smiling warmly.

"Don't be scared, Cedric will not harm you. I will be ever grateful if you could do this for me."

What Sofia didn't realize is that she had actual just blessed the farmer, by giving her blessing his luck with life would flourish. The farmer a little dazed from what just transpired nodded and smiled back.

"Okay Princess starting Monday I will come and deliver you a small shipment of food from my farm. To tide you over until then please take a few for the road."

Sofia did just that just taking what she thought she could use in the next few days, this gift from the farmer made the blessing stronger and without her knowing she had just received her first offerings as a deity. Walking to the next stall she felt more energized then before, she shook it off as just being in a good mood.

The next stall she went to was the butchers, a similar transaction took place. Same that went on at the Baker. The butcher gave her a small offering of meats to tide her over to the first deliver and she unknowingly blessed him, his animals would become healthier and the meat he would obtain would be even more flavorful. At the Baker it was a women, when she gave the princess some breads and cheese to tide her over Sofia notice that she was melancholy, they had got to talking and she was told that her and her husband had been trying to conceive a child for some time now but to no avail she was still not with child. After some time of Sofia unknowingly blessing her by wishing her luck on conceiving she had left the baker feeling lighter than air.

Her thoughts were up high above the clouds when the sound of her brother's voice pulled her down, turning to see his goofy smile she smiles in return.

"There you are Sof, I've been looking everywhere."

Sofia giggled,

"I had some more errands to do and you were the one that originally went missing from Ruby's shop."

"Yeah, yeah, it's getting late and we need to head back to the castle to prepare for dinner."

Sofia nodded in agreement, as they both started to head back into the forest separating the town and the castle James stopped gasping.

"Sofia!"

Sofia turned to face him then fallowed his gaze to back behind them. Covering her mouth she looked at the new growth that was forming behind where she walked. Turning back to her brother they stared into each other's eyes for a moment before James spoke.

"Sofia… what's going on?"

Looking away from him, she wasn't ready to tell her brother about her new gift.

"I'll explain another time, for now please just forget you saw this."

James bites his lip but nodded in agreement.

"Alright, but I better get an explanation sooner or later."

"Agreed brother,"

Note: That is going to be it for Sofia's point of view. Not much but hey you can just call it a filler that for some odd reason I was determined to write! Next chapter will be back in Cedric's view!

If you have any questions just ask and ill respond in the next note!

Until next time~
