Chapter 36
Queen Genevieve
Genevieve and her family had just made it back to the castle, she was glad that the judge was on their side and now they could take on Levi if he ever so ever put a foot in Glidonia. "There is to be a celebration tonight, we must celebrate the justice that was given to king Derek himself, as it was to Glidonia as well." Said Delia as she stared at her husband, "What a wonderful Idea!" exclaimed Randolph, "I'll send a letter to everyone in the village so they all know about it and will be ready tomorrow night." Said Edaline and Fallon as they appeared from the garden. "Hey you guys are back I took it as everything went smoothly then?" said Isla as she came from behind Edaline, immediately I could see that Isla was happy to see Tobias as well as he was to see her.
"Yes, everything went well, in fact we were just talking about hosting a party tomorrow to celebrate." Said Derek. "We are?" said Janessa, "That's awesome!" exclaimed Kathleen, "This is going to be fun!" cheered Lacey. "so, is it official that everyone is outside?" said Delia. "No, Hadley is inside she's finishing your dinner, she send the maids home early because she and Isla wanted to prepare you guys food…. You know to celebrate." Said Fallon "Then why are you not with her Isla?" asked Edmund. "We each decided to make our own type of favorite foods, with no help from each other. But we did have a bit of help form the triplets." Chuckled Isla. "Wait a minute its already night time why aren't you three in bed?" said Genevieve to the triplets. "because we wanted to wait till you guys got home." Said Lacey, "besides we want some of Isla's special chocolate cake!" exclaimed Janessa.
Genevieve looked over at Derek as the rest of the other people laughed, he nodded swiftly to her as she took a quick glance over at the girls, what got Genevieve a bit mad was that they had their pouty face. She hated whenever the girls did that to her, because when they did it was hard for her to tell them no, she softly sighs as she said, "fine, but after dinner its straight to bed girls." "YAY! Thanks Genevieve you're the best said Kathleen and Janessa as they rushed inside. "Why don't we all go inside before the rain starts to fall harder." Said Derek, everyone nodded and started heading inside, both Derek and Lacey helped Genevieve as she started walking up the slippery stairs, then they headed to the dinner room, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Prince Tobias
"Here it is guys." Said Isla Tobias saw this and was astonished it wasn't just a normal dinner it was more like a feast there was chicken, roast beef, shrimp soup, biscuits, molten lava cake, cheese cake, nuts, chocolate chip and sugar cookies, and for drinking it was milk, water, juice, and wine for the people who could. "Welcome everyone, well what are you waiting for sit down and dig in guys." Said Hadley and Isla. Everyone took a seat and started to eat, each stared taking bits of food from the middle, the ate drank and chatted, Tobias was even enjoying himself, he always felt comfortable talking with Isla. "Everything is very delicious, thank you Isla, you too Hadley."
After the dinner was finished all the adults left to the library to discuss what they should do about the war that is soon going to occur, meanwhile he and Isla decided to take a walk around the castle. They both they came upon the library, they opened the door, saw that no one was there and entered, they got comfortable near the fireplace. "Tobias…" asked Isla "Yes." Said Tobias. "How did your mother die?" asked Isla. "She died when I was young, about eleven years old, she had come down with the influenza, then one cold winter night she passed on." Said Tobias a bit sad. "I am sorry Tobias." Said Isla. "Don't worry Isla, this is actually the first time I've talked about her. Since she passed I never really talked to anybody, and I want to thank you for that, you're the first one that has ever asked me how I feel and made me talk." Said Tobias as he took a hold of Isla's hands and kissed them.
"Thank you for keeping me company," just as Tobias was about to say something they heard a noise, "ding" It was the clock it was fifteen minutes to eleven-o'clock. "Come on Isla, we should get to bed its getting pretty late." Said Tobias, then he and Isla both stood up and headed to their rooms, as they reached Isla's room they shared a hug said their goodnights and parted ways.
Queen Genevieve
Genevieve is sitting her vanity brushing her hair, waiting for Derek to some from the library, she was so happy, just then Derek walked in. "Derek" Said Genevieve as she stood up and gave her husband a welcoming hug. "I'm so happy we won the court case." She said. "So am I honey, but now I'm afraid we must get ready for the war that Levi has put upon us." Said Derek as he saw Genevieve get a bit worry or sad. "Hey don't worry honey, we'll be ready whenever he wants to attack." Said Derek as Genevieve nodded and shared a hug with him.
"Just remember that whatever happens I'll always love you Genevieve." Said Derek.
"I'll always love you too Derek." Said Genevieve as they shared a kiss, then went to bed.
Here's the next chapter for you guys, I'm happy to say that I finished half of my finals already, so I'm going to try to write more. Since I won't be that busy for awhile, since the rest of the finals are in May. I'm also going to speed up the time in, such as months and maybe even years for further chapters. What will Derek do in order to prepare for the war? Will they succeed? What will be Levi's next move?
