Chapter 3: Meeting the King
Shantei and Aya were resting by the slow moving river, just recovering from an attack from Aya's father. Shantei looked to her friend who was staring at the fish in the river.
"Maybe. we should get going. I mean what if he comes back?" Shantei said trying to get moving, but also caring about her friend.
Aya lifted her head slightly, " Of course, I know him. he would defiantly come back." Aya stood and dusted herself off.
"Aya. are you sure you're alright?" Shantei asked also getting up.
"Yeah! I'm okay! It's just I've never been a broken mystic! That's all, hehehe!" she said trying to hide the pain she was feeling now in her heart.
"Alright."
Aya walked up to where he bag was, she picked it up as if it was priceless and stood waiting for Shantei. When Shantei was ready she nodded to Aya, "Lets go!"
It was now almost noon and the two girls could finally see Bale, and the castle where King Albert was. Indels Castle.
'Hey! Check that thing out. what is it?" Shantei nearly fell over to what Aya had said; "Don't you know! That's a castle and its Indels castle to be precise! Don't your kind ever study or read books?"
Aya looked to the floor, "Well. no, the elders won't let us read or study till we're 8 or older."
Shantei fell over (Classic anime style), " You've got to be kidding me!" she said as she got off the ground.
Aya began blushing with embarrassment, "Okay! I get it! Why don't we just go, okay?"
Shantei nodded trying hard to act serious.
When they entered Bale's entrance, Aya eyes went wide. Shantei saw this and began laughing, while at the same time Aya began to walk forward to wander. She accidentally bumped into someone, 'Oh my! I'm sorry, you should be careful, don't want to get lost, do you?"
Aya looked up into the eyes of a aging woman, who looked about 50 or more years old.
"Ummm. I'm so sorry ma'am, it's just that I've never been here before. My friend is just over there."
The woman smiled sweetly, "Where are your parents? Surly they would have been looking for you if you got lost."
"Umm. well I'm a. a orphan, yeah an orphan! And my friend Shantei just wanted me to come to travel with her! Hehe."
Shantei looked over to where Aya was standing talking with a lady, "Aya. god I should get beeper for her!" With that said, Shantei went toward where Aya was.
"I'm Aya! Please to meet you!"
The lady smiled and took Aya's hand in a shake, "I'm Mai Slambert, please to meet you as well."
"Aya! There you are! I thought I told you not to run off when we got here! We have to go to the castle." Shantei said trying to make Aya understand. "Sorry." was all she could say.
Mai looked at the duo, then at the castle, "You're going to the castle?" They nodded. "Well you should let me escort you there. I'm going there anyway to see King Albert and queen Emille."
The girls looked at each other, the said in unison, "Okay!"
Mai took both of their hands in her own and head toward the castle, " So you must be Shantei? Right?" Shantei looked up, "Yup!"
"Umm, Mrs. Slambert? Why do you go to the castle? I mean I thought only nobles and knights could go in there." Shantei looked at Aya, "Hey I thought you didn't read!"
"Uh, yeah well, a little girl can sneak around right?"
"I'll answer your question about the standards of the castle Aya, yes only nobles and Knight go in there, but sometimes peasants are aloud too. Me I'm not a peasant, I'm a mother of a knight." She said.
"Really! Awesome! What's his name?" Aya asked very generically.
Mai's eyes saddened as she spoke, "His name was Lavitz. he's dead now."
"HUH! I'm so sorry Mrs. Slambert! I didn't know." Aya said wanting to take back the words which had already come out of her mouth.
"It's alright, he died during the war a few years back. well girls! We're here." Mai announced as they reached the castle doors.
"What fi he won't help us Shantei, I mean what if he's mean." Aya nervously wined.
"Oh come on. my parents were suppose to bring me here anyway, and they said Albert is very nice, but he's really the bookish type of guy. My mommy said that Albert is the jade dragoon. I really wanna see it in action, you know!" Aya nodded, "Of course!"
As they entered the castle Mai was greeted with smiles and bows from the Knights in the castle. The girls were a little surprised that she was this well known, her son Lavitz must have been a great knight.
"King Albert, it's good to see you again." Mai said as she bowed before the man on the throne.
"You too Mai. but you don't have to be so formal with me, I've known you since I was little. oh. who are these children with you?" he ask politely.
Aya and Shantei finally took notice to the man standing on the throne, and both of them blushed with embarrassment.
"Sorry, you highnesses. we were just day dreaming." Shantei said quickly knowing Aya would probably say something stupid.
Albert gave a slight chuckle, "It's alright Shantei, no need to be formal as well." "But! How did you know my name!" Shantei exclaimed.
" I know you father and mother, and I was there when you were born. That is how." Albert saw that Shantei was awing at how he knew her. He then eyed Aya who was looking around, trying to find a spot to conceal herself. " It's alright little Mystic. There's no need to hide from us, you're in no harm."
Aya gawked at the King, slightly wondering how he knew she was a Mystic, "How! My race is hidden from people beyond our world. How did you know I was one?" She was starting to sound upset.
Albert looked at her, "I'm sorry, it's just that you have golden hair and green eyes. That's the sign of a Mystic."
Shantei looked at the two, she then noticed her parents weren't there yet. "Umm. King Albert? Where are my parents? Shouldn't they be here by now?"
Albert took his eyes off Aya and looked at Shantei, " They will be coming in 2 days. no don't worry, I won't tell them you're here."
Shantei sighed in relief. Then she look to the right of King Albert, " I'm sorry. but where is Queen Emille?"
Minister Noish answered her question, " Queen Emille is sick right now, she's upstairs."
'Sorry. um we had better get going. so I'll get to the point. Albert can we have an escort to Lohan?"
"WHAT! Shantei, wait. a knight escort US! No way." Aya was staring at her with disbelief.
"I'm not kidding. So can we?"
Albert looked at the two girls, then at Noish, "I'm sorry, but we have no Knights to spare. in a day a few will be back from Hoax, so if you want you can stay in the castle for a day if you want."
Aya took this time to answer the question for Albert, "Of course your highness! We would be glad to stay!"
Shantei glared at Aya, who was bouncing up and down.
"Alright your room will be ready in half and hour, please enjoy your stay at the castle, and you also have free access to everywhere in the castle, except my and Emille's room. Alright?"
Both of them nodded, " Yup!"
"Now off with you two." He spoke like a father talking to his children.
The girls ran from the throne rooms, with Mrs. Slambert yelling at them to be careful. "Kids." was all Albert said.
So? Interesting huh? Looks like Shantei doesn't want to stay in the castle, well to bad. It also looks like Aya has sort of a big mouth.ehehe. anyway, will Shantei and Aya leave in time to Lohan before Shantei's parents Dart and Shana find them? And will Aya's ex-father try to come and kill her? Know next time.
Aya: Hehe, I'm getting good at this! I Think.
Lavitz: You think! You have only just started and you think it's getting good?
Shantei: Uh-oh.
Aya: (Twitch twitch) What did you s-say Lavitz?
Lavitz: . nothing, nothing at all. hehehe. (Gulp) Gotta go!
Aya: Come back! I'm gonna make you eat those words Lavitz!
Shantei: Heh. well kids ill be kids,
Aya and Lavitz: Hey! I'm not a kid!
Look at each other.
Aya: (Glare.) Time to eat words Lavi-boy
Lavitz: What Lavi-boy! Why are you calling me that!
Aya: My new name (Giggle)
Shantei: . okay Aya is a little crazy and Lavi. excuse me, Lavitz is very disturbing. Till next time guy n' gals! Buh-Bye!
