Chapter 12
—
Standing if front of a dark brown door with two guards on both sides. Elena was getting nervous she rubs her upper a bit, then knocking on the door an waiting for a response. Hearing king Howard for her to come in doing so as opening the door. Alexzander next and his father were there bickering back an forth, then turns to see Elena walk through. King Howard nods to her direction "you may take a seat if you want," gesturing to the two chair in front of his desk.
King Howard sat down on his chair then looks to wanting him to do the same, but just meet with a irritable Alexzander eyes. "So Elena tell how you got here cause I don't think you got here willingly my dear", king Howard smile at her direction while waiting for her answer. Elena smiles nervously at the king "umm... I came here cause Alexzander stormed out, cause of one my friend said a mean comment." The room was felled with silence no one saying a single word, a burst of laughter comes from King Howard. Smacking a hand on his knee as the king looks to his son, "your first royal visit an you already mess up my perfect son mess up a simple task."
Alexzander just looks away from embarrassment not wanting to look at anyone in the room. "Yes yes, I messed up but I'm still not writing that darn peace treaty," crossing his arms looking down at Elena. Elena glares back at him "an why not your father knows that you messed up, I don't see the problem of sighing the darn thing off so we don't have look at each other anymore," doing the same pose as Alexzander but looking away from him. Alexzander just scoffs at her "oh yes, this will solve my problem with you leaving but I'll just toss the darn papers into the trash when your gone." Elena turns to his direction fast with a look of shock "you won't dare," Alexzander just smugly grins "try me I won't hesitate of doing so Elena."
King Howard groans in frustration from the bickering at each other, knowing he's not getting them to stop anytime soon. He puts one hand stopping them both, Elena and Alexzander looks at king Howard as he placed his hand down. "I don't care, if you two argue till you're hearts content, but I will not have our country go to war over a simple disagreement!," king Howard sits down in his chair. Taking a sip from his cup that was placed on the desk, Elena twiddles her thumb feeling awkward after the king's out burst. Wondering what the king was going to say next, hopping that king Howard would take the peace treaty instead.
The king rubs his beard thinking intently figuring out what to do next, sighing with frustration "I have no other choice but to take over what you been doing Alexzander, your plans for this country financial an for the citizens." Alexzander looks stun "what are you saying that I'm acting childish, cause if so I swear to god if that's what you are thinking." King Howard looks at his son dead in his eyes "yes, that's what I'm implying after this hole fiasco you have caused." Alexzander's knuckles whiten from the comment his father aimed at him, "fine I'll just deal with this blizzard for you an you can go do your own way, disregarding the fact that I put 4 years into the plans I set out." Alexzander turns an storms out the room not caring his father out cry's for him to come back, knowing his son is being rational over his judgment about this.
Elena watched Alexzander leave the room an turns back to king Howard, not knowing what to say or do she stands up bowing towards him telling him sorry. But she was waved away "it's not you my dear it's just my son takes this way out of the water, it's yes a king role is to help his people but what imagine does he show for the world." With this Elena walks out of king Howard's room wondering were Alexzander went, looking to the left of her she could still see him walking down the hallway. Running to catch up to Alexzander hopefully trying to stop him, "Alexzander! Alexzander! Wait up!," Elena cry's out as she try's to get his attention. Alexzander turns to her nearly causing Elena to crash into him, stopping in her tracks huffing out of breath "what was all that about in there?, an what with that attitude towards me I didn't do anything seeing that you're father knows now?"
But Alexzander just scoffs "so what doesn't change the fact that I just lost 4 years of my life's work, over not writing a peace treaty that I didn't want to give out as a freebie." Elena frowns towards him "then why didn't you tell him that's how you feel, I would think he would understand he's your father." Turning away from Elena Alexzander continues on the mission at hand, as Elena try's to keep up mad that he just turn away from her. He head straight to his room opening the door with a slam, causing Elena to jump back from the force that was given to the door. She looks inside seeing a desk in front of the room as you walk in with a large bed, that was placed above 3 steps that had curtains covering the main mattress, an a large family portrait behind the desk.
He walked pass the bed to grab clothes a lot warmer for the blizzard, an getting a brown satchel for to carry his items he pulled a sliver an blue long skinny sword out the closet. He puts on his scarf that was dark navy blue with his grey slim jacket made from soft leather, that had 4 big black buttons in the front not really caring to change the rest of his entire. Alexzander storms pass Elena as she try's to stop him once more, "we're are you going Alexzander?, are you seriously going out there it still hasn't died down." Going unheard Alexzander heads to the front door of the palace, jerking the door open with a blast of wind coming through Elena grips herself to keep warm. Not really caring Alexzander walks out the front door into the blizzard, leaving Elena behind shocked that he would go out at this time.
Elena ran to grab her boots that was close to the door, an with the jacket that was placed there for her use to keep warm. She only had a thin layer of clothing of a light blue long sleeve dress an stockings, she heads out to chase after Alexzander in a quick haste. Elena sees Alexzander heading to a building that still had the lights on, it looks like the inn that she stayed in when she got here. Going after Alexzander trying to not tip over from the wind, Elena almost slip going down the path, the gate that the guards opened up was left open freezing the gate. Taking the path to the inn an opening it what a push causing her fall slightly after opening it, caching her herself be for she falls an looks at the people that were here.
It was just a few people that lived here seeing Alexzander talking to a group, she recognized two people that she met before. It was was Mylene an the cranky dwarf blacksmith Foloki, but who was the other two it was an elf a very tall man in plated armor. She walks in shut the door behind her but it slammed shut by doing so, everyone turns to see who walked in at this critical time of day. Alexzander turns seeing Elena here an groans in frustration knowing full well that she won't leave him alone, "Elena go back to the palace this doesn't concern you at all." He looks at her seeing that she's not dress properly for the blizzard, "an why did you walk out like that you'll get sick an I really don't want to deal with this right now." Elena was shaking from the cold her knees were buckled together, with her hands under her armpits to try to keep warm.
The elf placed a hand on Alexzander's shoulder stopping him for another out burst to Elena, speaking in a tone of reasoning "she's thousands miles from home barely knows this place an she only knows you to an extent." Alexzander just huffs at the elf's comment but he knows that he's right about Elena, "fine but Elena you need warmer clothes than the one got on now you hear." Elena nods at Alexzander as she watched him pull clothing out his satchel, a pair of thick black socks, gloves looking to big for her to ware, and a black scarf. He hands the clothes to Elena she takes them an looks at Alexzander confused, " why don't we ask the inn people if they have my size of clothes?" Raising a eyebrow at Elena Alexzander though she asked a strange question, " I don't have time to scavenge around to find clothes for you cause right now I have deal with a crazy warlock?"
