A day has gone by, well 48 hours have gone by since the whole ordeal of knowing the truth about the Louds of old, and now the folks from Royal Woods can have the vacation they actually did have planned and away from everything that nearly took the life of Lincoln Loud, but a small visit from the ghosts of the louds of old is gonna be something. Enjoy reading this new chapter everyone.
Family of Two.
Chapter 510: Aftermath of Loud Royalty.
(Somewhere not too far from the Loud Castle.)
We head to this small empty cottage, which was once used by some of the staff members from long ago, and is still neat and tidy and some speculate that this once belonged to Old Aggie from long ago, but there cannot be much proof on that one, and this is where the other folks have gone to, those from Royal Woods.
Thankfully, this cottage is big enough for all of them. They do have to share bedrooms though, and they are all fine with that.
Michelle and Delilah come out from the cottage and they go over and they hand everyone some refreshments, and all of them are just enjoying the sun, the sand and the peaceful calm waters of this land known as Loch Loud.
They all have already celebrated the coronation of Duke Angus the other day, and it sure was a big one, and then they said that now that the mystery of the loud family has been solved, they can now go back to what they wanted to do when they got here, and that something was their one week spring break vacation, and now they can all finally have it.
While everyone is just loving this peaceful moment, we head to a part of the cottage with a large balcony and this is where Lincoln Loud and his mother, Luna Loud are located and watching the others have some fun. Luna pulls her son close to her, and she kisses his forehead. "We're now having a vacation day, and this is dang sweet."
"No kidding" replied Lincoln, he does see the Guardian Dragon Lela is playing with Lily by the waters and Lola and Lana are sliding down her wing like a slide and into the refreshing clear blue waters. "This has sure been a week, though I never did think I would nearly get killed in the process, but then again... We've been through worse, right?"
Luna didn't like to hear that, she then pulls her son close for an emotional hug and he hugs her back and closes his eyes. "Linc, we were just here on vacation. We didn't even wanna get into trouble and yet it did and... Gosh dang it, I don't wanna lose you, son."
Lincoln nods. "Same, I just... I don't wanna get caught into whatever goes down, and I don't even wanna be the Duke. That's not who I am and never will be, I am who I am and I am Lincoln Loud, your son, and I love you mom, always."
"And I love you kiddo, forever and ever my sweet child of mine." Luna then places a kiss on his forehead and his cheeks, and then she shares a nose kiss with her son, which makes him chuckle and then hug her again, but then they depart when they hear someone knock at the balcony door, and they see it is Harriet, and she phases through the door.
"Sorry to interrupt. But some folks wish to speak with you on that hill far ahead, and they won't be causing any forms of trouble. I will inform the others on where you all are."
Lincoln and Luna nod, but they are confused on who the heck wants to talk to them.
(Moments later.)
We are now at the top of a hell, overlooking the castle and the cottage and is in between the village and the rest of the border between the castle, and Lincoln and Luna are here, and they are awaiting those they plan to speak with and soon enough they see them. Lincoln smirks. "Ghostly Royal Louds."
They then see them, the ghostly ancestors who look like the Loud Family that Lincoln and Luna have been part of, and two of them in which are the Duke who once ruled Loch Loud, and Lucille Loud, and they also see the ghostly ancestor of Luna Loud, known as Luna Anne Maria Loud.
"Well, this is something. Last time we saw you dudes, was the other day at the whole coronation thing" said Luna. "So, why summon us here to talk?"
They didn't know how to talk back to her words since they seemed new, then the Duke ghost speaks. "We're here to tell you, on how sorry we are that you went through some rough times and what the parents did back then as well."
Lucille then speaks. "But we are happy that you lot got a chance to keep living the loud family name, and it is a surprise that you Luna Loud, at a young age has been given the last name to continue onward, and adopting Lincoln as your son."
Luna nods. "Yeah, well. I did what I had to do, and I wanted retribution for what they did to, Lincoln. He suffered through what they did and I was so many steps ahead of them and then I wanted to make sure we got the win and they got what they deserved."
"But that was the past, and we're chill with them now. My kid forgives them for the bad stuff, and wants to see them have a future that could be better than what we all expected to have thought back when we were a big family. I am dang proud to be the mother to this white haired little dude, my sweet child of mine." she then hugs Lincoln, and he hugs her back.
"And I'm happy for the life we have now and how awesome the future will be, even with my girlfriend and Sam along for the ride" replied Lincoln.
Luna smirks. "Dang right." she then kisses his forehead, and this makes him chuckle.
Luna Anne Maria then asks. "Wait, who the heck is this Sam? Is he the lover of your dreams in the night?"
Luna and Lincoln depart from the hug and Luna seems kinda awkward from this. "Ummm, Sam is a girl. I am bisexual and it means I like guys and gals, but Sam is the lady in my dreams in my sleep and the melody in my ears and shares the motherly skills as I do, which is why Lincoln here sees Sam as his other mom, and treats her as he does when we bond together."
They all remain silent and then Luna shows Luna Anne Maria the picture on her phone and the ghost is amazed by how Sam looks. "Wow... Well, she sure looks like... Well, something... Well, bless me bagpipes and violins."
Luna smirks and she can tell that she may have found out where her love for ladies may have come from, then the ghostly royal Lynn Sr speaks. "We are truly proud at what you have done to keep the loud name going and to be there for the lad who was once your former brother."
Then the ghostly Rita speaks. "You are an amazing mother, and have done so much for Lincoln. We are all honored at the true devotion and determination you show to keep him safe, happy and guiding him out of trouble, we're all looking forward to a bright and better future he could have, a future all of you could have, even the former louds."
Lincoln smiles and nods. "Thanks for that guys, and we're sorry the others aren't here to see this, but they have their time to deal with and to try and seek redemption on their own terms, but Lynn Junior is doing her part and is adjusting to looking forward to a better and changed life."
The ghostly version of Lynn Jr nods, and yet she feels bad that her descendant is responsible for what has become of the Louds last name. 'If she were here, I would tell her off for all she has done. That lass is... By the pipes of Balor, what has she done with herself?'
"We do wish to know one thing, why not come and stay in the castle?" asked the ghostly royal Leni.
Luna smirks. "Sorry to say, but we would rather not be involved with the whole loud past and all that stuff. We wanna spend the rest of our time in peace, quiet and some vacation fun time. It is spring break and then we gotta get back home to Royal Woods, Michigan."
"We wish we could stay a little bit longer, but we have our own lives to handle back home" replied Lincoln.
"And the lass who stole your heart?" asked the Ghostly Duke.
Lincoln chuckles. "You know it, ghostly version of me." Then he asks. "So, we wanna ask something, how is Angus doing?"
Lucille smiles. "Doing quite well, he is learning the ropes when it comes to ruling and being the Duke. We intend to remain with him for the time being so he can be able to be the best Duke as my brother was once before."
"But then again, Angus is a Duke in his own way and I wanna see what he is capable of even without our guidance" replied the ghostly Duke. "When he can handle the Duke title on his own, then the lot of us will pass on in the afterlife."
Luna nods. "Good to know..." then she has this upset look. "And what of the damned castle caretaker? What about that witch?"
The ghostly Lisa speaks. "She has been dealt with thanks to Angus. Morag will spend the rest of her days in the dungeon, after all... She also has to pay for what her ancestor Old Aggie did, seems fit she remains locked up forever and her actions upon Lincoln is one of them. The Guardian Dragon, also known as Lela also agreed to this, let Morag rot in the dungeon forever more."
"Which is another reason why Duke Angus allowed you lot to claim the cottage from her Old Aggie, best to claim it for your sakes rather than let that wretch reside there" replied the ghostly royal Lola.
"Duke Angus informed us that he has plans for the cottage, big plans" replied the ghostly royal Lana.
Then the ghostly Duke speaks. "The grave of Old Aggie will be removed from the castle, her remains are not meant to be buried within the castle grounds. She will be buried outside of Loch Loud, and never to be marked with a gravestone, that is her consequence for her actions against us, and we once trusted her."
"We made the mistake even hiring that wretch as Castle caretaker" replied the ghostly Rita.
"I bet her soul is burning in the fiery underworlds of our land" replied the ghostly Lynn Sr.
Luna nods and she crosses her arms. "Good, because a part of me wanted to give her a beat down she will never forget. After what she did, I legit hate her. No one does that to my boy, dang I hate her so much! She just doesn't understand, and damn her ancestor."
"At least everything is at peace and we can relax and calm down." Lincoln then has an idea. "Hey, how about coming over and having a moment to be with your descendants? I'm sure they wouldn't mind some ghostly company, besides Harriet."
The ghosts all look to each other and then to the Duke, and the ghostly version of Lincoln and the former Duke looks to Lincoln and Luna Loud. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea, lad. Lead on."
They all head towards the cottage, and hang out with the others, while Lincoln also shows the ghostly Duke the photos of himself and his girlfriend Jordan, and the Duke is impressed. "Lincoln Loud, you got yourself one fine lass as a future bride."
The royal ghostly Leni then asks. "Has my descendant found someone for her life?" then the others also ask questions, but all questions will be answered when they speak with the others back at the cottage, this spring break is already turning out dang great!
To be continued in the next chapter lads.
A/N: A good time to speak with the spirits of the past, and a dang good moment to know what else is happening, and tomorrow is the last day they will be at Loch Loud, and then the lot will be headed off home. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
