Up first is the Anti Dimension! Please review!
A New Anti Reality
Chapter 1
When night falls upon the kingdom most people by now would have returned to their homes, be spending time with their families and be having dinner. The work hours of the day were over. Sadly, there was still one person not done.
As Cedric sat at his desk in the workshop, he held a an old text book in his hands. While the future king had saw to his royal duties for the day, the man decided to get back into his studies.
After Cedric and Sofia had defeated King Roland, the two suddenly became busy with royal obligations. Once the villagers of the kingdom were informed that they were free of imprisonment, the people became joyful at the news. However, when Princess Sofia had announced who their new king was going to be, they became weary. Some didn't like the idea and just wanted the princess as their queen and who could blame them. After all, they all still didn't know the truth about Goodwyn's death.
Knowing the very fact of his future subjects dislike of of him, Cedric wasn't sure how to go about that situation. Some part of him had hoped that Sofia would have spilled the truth to what had happened in the past but another part of him had reasoned they probably wouldn't believe the truth once it was delivered. Was he really destined for this "King" title? He had to wonder...
Now here he was. While the royal couple had gotten a few things done there was still the matter of Cedric finishing his magical studies. While, the teen had worked hard in his magical education, he still had yet to take the exam to complete that endeavor. That of course, was just around the corner.
As he continued to read the book a white magical cloud of smoke appeared leaving behind a familiar figure in his lap. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and her head was against his shoulder. "You really need to stop and take a break. You've been studying for hours." Sofia said as she looked his face. Unfazed by her sudden appearance.
"If I am to earn my title as a sorcerer I need to pass this last test." Cedric answered.
Surely, a few hours is enough..." The princess said as she tried to reach for the book but Cedric pushing her hand away.
"Come on...it's dinner time," she explained. "You need to at least eat something."
"Have the new steward send it up." Cedric said flatly as he turned a page. Hearing a huff out of the princess made Cedric give her his full attention. "What's the problem, surely Baileywick can do stuff like that."
"He can but you need to spend time with your family." Sofia said as she finally snatched the book out of his gloved hands,placed it down on the table, got up and pulled him towards the door."Now, come on before the food gets cold."
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Cedric joked with a smirk on his face.
"Keep that up and I'll be punishing you myself." Sofia returned with her own smirk.
"And how do you plan to accomplish that?"
"By...taking the key to the workshop. If I keep that, this room wouldn't become so private then, now, would it?"
Hearing a sigh of defeat come out of the male, Sofia pulled the teen out the door and down the steps. "I'm guessing everyone settled in the castle now?"
"Yeah, I think they all are pretty happy here."
"It's only been one day. Just wait a few years and they'll be driving each other crazy." Cedric reminded the girl.
With the rest of the prophecy stating marriage was the next thing they needed to do. Sofia had brought up the idea of letting Cedric's family move back into the castle. While Winifred and Cordelia loved the idea of moving back in, Calista was the only person to be very curious about her new surroundings and was intending to explore every room. Hopefully, the little girl was at the dinner table by now.
Once they were at the corner of the Dinning Hall Cedric stopped the princess in her tracks. "Thanks for letting them move back here,Sofia. While this place does hold some painful memories for us...I-I guess I didn't expect they'd want to move back."
"Since I don't have any family members I've always considered your family mine as well. Once we uh...you know...marry this place won't be so lonely but then after we get everything settled, it's no doubt they will be part of the royal family."
Having remembered what happened to her mother Cedric pulled her into a hug and kissed her cheek."We'll find your mother,Sofia. I promise."
"Thanks."
Once the couple entered the Dinning Hall they were greeted with some unsuspecting guests. "It's about time you two love birds got here. I'm starving!"Greylock said which made Cedric blink in surprise.
"What are you doing here?"
"Princess Sofia invited me."
Cedric looked at girl standing next to him and raised an eyebrow. "You already are punishing aren't you?"
After giving a nervous laugh Sofia pulled him to the table. "Well, lets all eat shall we?"
A/N: Well,this didn't go exactly as it had in my head but I hope you like it. I was having a hard time starting so that I can get in what things had changed since we last saw them. And if you guys hadn't already guessed this takes place a few months after "Changed Dimension". Please review!
