Sometimes the greatest people make mistakes. They grow form them they learn
form them. And most importantly they change form them this is one of those
stories....
It was cold, colder than usual. Zan lay in bed. He looked over to his wife Ava. Sweet, beautiful Ava. It had been almost 2 months since they were married. The ceremony was amazing. All of Antar had come out to see it. Zan the Prince of Antar and Ava the Princess of Nadir. Their marriage was something of a blessing for the planets. The joining of two kingdoms. He had to remember to thank Larek for introducing her to him. He thought about everything that had happened how his father had died. He was the King now. And he wasn't so sure he wanted to be.
* * *
Vliandra lay in bed too. She was thinking about that man she met today. He was very charming going up to her like that. She had gone to visit the public today like she did often. The princess had her duties. And that man had come up to her. Talked to her like she was his equal. She wanted to be mad but she just couldn't be. What was his name...Khivar?
* **
Rath slept like a baby. It was a big job being the king's second in command but some body had to do it. Of course he didn't complain much. Zan wasn't only the king but one of his best friends. After a day like this all he could do was sleep. And just like every other day he would wake up and train the military. * **
"Zan?" Ava said she looked up and saw her husband.
"Yes, darling" he said
"I had a dream" Ava said
"About what?" He asked her
"Us and our baby."
"We don't have a baby"
"I think we will"
He kissed her. He thought the same. The did need a heir to the throne after all
* **
"Princess?" The servant called
"Yes." Vliandra called
"The King has requested you join him for breakfast" the servant said
"I will be there" Vliandra said. The king was her brother. Just months ago he was Zan her little brother and now he was The King. She missed father. She hated this everyone calling her princess and waiting on her hand and foot. She wished she could leave the palace and live in the villages. She wished she could see the galaxy. He told her about it...Khivar * **
"Ahh Vliandra you look perfect as usual." Rath said bowing to her
"As you." She said. Rath the man she was supposed to marry. The perfect fit to her. Except the fact she didn't love him.
"Shall we?" He asked extending a hand
They went into the room. It was like the rest of the palace. Made of stone with jewels and gold statues. It was extraordinary large and in the middle was a table where the Royals sat. Zan occupied her father's throne.
"I am Delighted to join you" Vliandra said and bowed
They sat down. The food of course was already on the plates. Kalson came in.
"You're Highness I am pleased to be here in your honor" he said bowing down
"Yes, so am I we need to start the preparations of the new kingdom. You are aware of the changes I should like to make." Zan said
"Yes your majesty. We have researched Earth as you wished. It is a suitable planet for us to live on." Kalson said
"Very well, then." Zan said
Kalson was escorted away.
"We had to take another farm yesterday." Rath said. He was the only one that still referred to Zan as if he was "normal"
"We do what we have to" Zan said
Vliandra and Ava didn't talk they were women and they would not interrupt a man's conversation.
"There have been riots. In the streets about the money." Rath continued
"The Guards will deal with it." He said
"I don't think we should let it to the guards handle it. You need to speak to the public. It has been to long." Rath said
"It is not a problem. We have bigger problems like about the Treaty signing."
"Your own people are starting to doubt you" Rath said Vliandra knew that Rath was pushing it.
"That's enough. We need to be ready about the Treaty. The Guards will handle it"
* **
"You can't take it away form us." Khivar pleaded with the guards. The farm was all they had.
"Your debt is over due, the Majesties orders" The guard said
The farm was his father's life if not that then they would die. They didn't have money to spare.
"Please give us one more month. The Majesty needs to understand" Khivar pleaded
"Step aside"
"Don't worry father, this isn't justice the King don't care about us all he cares about is his Kingdom. But I will change that."
