Note: In this story, the Queen is around 23. Her age isn't revealed and since she isn't married I believe that she is around Nel's age. Also the Oasises has trees.
'Give me assasins, give me robbers. Throw me into a pit of Dragons. But please tell me I heard wrong!' Unfortunately Nel's prayors wasn't heard.
"Like I said, after we were fighting that Dragon-thingy, I notice Fayt was missing..."
"CLIFF, YOU IDOIT! Who was Fayt protecting?" Nel yelled. shakening the trees in the Oasis.
"I-um..."
"So let me guess, we're lost, we've lost Fayt, and worse, we've lost the reason why we came here?"
"That pretty much sums it up, yeah."
"Tell me again why your still breathing?"
"Woah, Woah! Don't worry about it. Fayt might be young but you can trust him. The only way she'll be safer is if a gentleman like me is with her."
"...thank god you aren't..."
"I still haven't found them, your highness..." Fayt spoken as he approached the shade of the trees in the Oasis and a kneeling woman in white who seemed like she was sleeping. The woman was a little pale with grayish hair, but everyone who laid eyes on her would agree on her beauty. After he said that he approach the water for a few sips of water and tried to leave.
"I wish you wouldn't keep going out there and only coming back for water." Aquaria XXVII said not even opening her eyes.
"I already cleared out the monsters, so there isn't a threat of them and we need to find Nel and Cliff."
"Your pushing yourself to hard Fayt Leingod. if you push yourself too hard, you'll collapse and die out there."
"Is that an order?"
"Yes."
"With all due respect, your highness, I 'm not Aquarian. I don't have to follow orders you give." But the queen simply smiled and open her eyes and glanced into Fayt's.
"If it's a request, it's rude not to accept. I played this game since I spoke my first word, Leingod. You can't win a war of words with me. Now come sit in the shade."
Fayt couldn't respond as he stared into the eyes of the Queen. Without any resitance he sat next to the Queen.
A few moments passed without any words between them as they watch the water of the Oasis.
"...Can I ask you a question your highness?" A this the queen turned her head and nodded her head. "When ever my friends and I came before you, Laselle seems to try to discredit us. Why does he do that and if he's your advisior, why do you believe us over him."
The queen's responce was to smile and a light chuckle.
"Laselle, while he's a good man and quite intellegent, he constantly trying to shape the world as he see fits, which causes him to be constantly cranky. As for why I can trust you, two simple reasons. Nel and Clair vouched for you, and those two I trust the most since I knew them since childhood." The queen spoke as she lifted he gaze as if remembering a long forgoten memory.
"The other?" Fayt said looking a the queen.
"Laselle's a pessismist. Even I believe that." Both laughed at this comment.
"He's always telling people to do." The Queen continued, "Even me, in a sense. He's always advising me to do things even after I made clear I wish not to think about."
"Like?" Fayt continued. He noticed that for a supossedly stoic queen that he was told she was really opening up.
"Marrige." The queen said. She knew that talking like this to Fayt was the only thing keeping him from going into the desert, not like she mind talking like this. It was sort of...refreshing...
"Huh?"
"What, hard to believe that a beutiful young queen would be unmarried?" The Queen looked at his face that was filled with utter confusion."I'm almost as Clair and Nel."
"...let me guess..."
"Laselle tries to keep me unmarried so it can be used in negotiating."
"You don't approve?"
"...marrige should be for love, not politics." This time the queen's face filled with confusion. "Those marriages end up bad if there is no love."
"Might I ask how you know?"
"...Enough of it's shown back home by the media."
"Medea?"
"Oh, it's like this group of people who spread out information and news."
"Why would they show the personal relationships of people."
"...money... I think I spent enough time resting. I need to go find Cliff and Nel" Fayt said as he quickly rised and walked off, only to return fifteen minutes later with the others.
Soon after that, they set out once again to their meeting with King Airyglyph. However Fayt didn't know how his words affected one person that day.
