ELINCIA
Elincia sighed heavily as she walked through the camp. She looked at the floor as she walked, not paying attention to her surroundings. Her eyes were filling with tears but she refused to let them drop. Soon enough she reached the edge and ventured into the quiet field.
'I am such a fool. To say things like that to Geoffrey…' she thought to herself, still trying to keep the tears from falling. 'I love him but yet, I cannot stop loving Ike…but wait a moment, I don't love Ike anymore, at least not that way I love Geoffrey…'
The Queen continued to walk forward. 'I really love Geoffrey…but now he is mad at me…and with justification…I basically admitted that I loved another man, even though it's not true. Oh, I curse myself for not being able to use the right words…'
The wind softly hit her body and she hugged herself to keep warm. 'Geoffrey used to hug me tightly…' she sighed, a single tear finally running down her cheek. With her sleeve, she wiped it off. 'Ike used to hug me too…before I made him run away. And now, I have made my new love run away from me too…'
She buried her head in her hands, still walking. 'What have I done… ?'
"Why must you always confront Ike that way?" Elincia said to Geoffrey after Ike walked away. "Your childish behavior must stop."
"Queen Elincia, I beg for forgiveness. It will not happen again."
"It better not, Geoffrey, Ike is still too important to me to have to…" Elincia stopped.
Geoffrey looked at her, his eyes mixed with an expression of shock and pain. He bowed, "I understand Your Majesty. I shall leave and not bother you in any way ever again, I promise." He began to walk away from her.
"Geoffrey, wait." She followed him but he did not turn around. "Please wait!" She ran towards him, trying to grab his arm to make him stop. Geoffrey began to walk faster.
"Commander Geoffrey! The Queen of Crimea demands you to stop and turn around!" she said in a last attempt.
Yet Geoffrey paid no attention to her. Elincia stopped dead in her tracks.
Slowly, she lifted her head and looked around. She realized that she had walked for some time and she had no idea as to where she was exactly.
"…so boring…" she heard a man say. She looked around and saw that someone was moving not that far away from where she was. Shrugging she walked towards them.
In front of her, a green haired man had dropped his axe and sat down. He was wiping the sweat off his forehead when Elincia stepped on some leaves, making some noise.
"Who's there?" Boyd asked, picking up his axe.
"It's me…" Elinica said softly, slowly emerging from behind a tree.
Boyd dropped his axe and bowed his head, "Your Majesty."
She approached him, "Do you know where we are?"
Boyd frowned in confusion and looked around, "Umm, I guess. Why?"
"I was distracted when I came here and I must admit that I'm lost."
"If you want, I can take you back to camp…" Boyd suggested.
Elincia smiled, "Please."
Boyd picked up his axe again and bowed again. They began to walk, side by side, in silence. Suddenly, he stretched out his arm in front of her, making her stop. "Careful, Your Highness. There's some mud around here."
She couldn't help but giggle, "I appreciate the concern but mud will do very little damage to me…"
Boyd smiled at her, "Ha, I guess you're right, Queen Elincia. Sorry about my overreaction."
She grabbed his arm, "Well, I guess if you really are concerned…"
Boyd kept smiling at her.
Elincia looked at the man she was with as she pulled him to keep walking. She now recognized who it was. She had seen Mist and this man together more than once. She had always found it cute how they would fight one moment and then hug each other lovingly the next.
"You are Boyd, correct."
He nodded.
"Now that I look at you closely, I see a striking resemblance between you and Ike…"
"…he'd be flattered to hear that."
Elincia giggled, "…except you seem to have a sense of humor, unlike the Commander."
"And that makes me far more appealing to the ladies…"
Elincia giggled again. 'I understand now how he won little Mist over. If I were not in love already, I might be inclined to fall for him too…' she thought as she held his muscular arm tightly. 'He has a great smile, a great body…not as good as Geoffrey but…'
Elincia sighed softly.
"Is something wrong, Your Majesty?" Boyd asked.
She shook her head, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Boyd nodded.
'Mist has grown to be such a beautiful young lady. No doubt he has something to do with her change. If only I could show Geoffrey that he makes me happy. Surely he would forgive my blunder…' she kept thinking to herself, 'But this man…I've never noticed how attractive he was until now. Ah, Mist has made an excellent choice for herself…'
As they walked, Elincia's foot tripped with a rock, making her lose her train of thought. She would've fallen down had Boyd not reacted fast enough. He grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back. They were hugging each other, awkwardly and stared. Both were blushing.
"I'm sorry," Boyd said as he stepped back, releasing her.
Elincia looked away from him. They stood there, not wanting to look at their faces. After what seemed like a very long moment, the Queen cleared her throat. "We should continue, don't you think?"
Boyd nodded, still not facing her. "Yeah, let's keep going straight…"
Elincia grabbed his arm again, liking the way it felt. 'I wonder if he would make me happy…No, Elincia, don't think that. He can't because Geoffrey makes me happy. I might feel horrible right now but that was my own fault…But what if…?'
"Ouch…" she said softly as she stopped and began to massage her thigh.
Boyd jumped to her side and grabbed her, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I just felt this pain go through my leg…"
"Can you walk?"
She stood up straight and took a step before faking a fall. Boyd grabbed her and picked her up. "I'll carry you the rest of the way."
'Elincia, what are you doing? If you feel bad about what happened with Geoffrey, go and fix it with Geoffrey.'she thought to herself. Her arms were around Boyd's neck as he walked with a fast pace. Their faces were really close so she leaned her head on his shoulder. "Let me walk, please. I don't want to be a burden."
Boyd kept walking, "Don't worry, Queen. You're really light so it's no problem."
His heart thumped as she hugged him tighter. Shaking, she gave him a tiny peck on the cheek. He blushed.
'Stop it!' Elincia yelled at herself. 'Just stop it.' Instead of listening to her own advice, she whispered softly in his ear, "Thank you, for being such a gentleman."
She realized that Boyd was avoiding eye contact. "You have nothing to thank me for, Queen Elincia."
She played with his hair. "I love the way you say my name…"
Boyd gulped, not knowing what to respond. He tried to increase his speed.
"Stop, please."
Boyd stopped.
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
"No, Your Majesty."
"Call me Elincia."
"Yes, Queen Elincia."
"Let me down."
Boyd obeyed.
She placed her feet on the ground but did not let go of his neck. Slowly she closed the distance between their faces and kissed him. Boyd didn't know how to react.
'Elincia, what are you doing? This isn't going to help!' she thought to herself. But she couldn't stop. She grabbed Boyd's hand and moved them around her body. Boyd began to breathe harder, not knowing what was going on. Elincia left his hands on her waist, still kissing him. Suddenly, Boyd picked her up; she wrapped her legs around his body, and carried to her small patch of grass. Roughly, he dropped to his knees and placed her on the ground, staying on top of her. They were kissing very passionately, exploring each other's body.
In the heat of the moment, Elincia reached for his belt and unbuckled it as Boyd lifted her dress and spread apart her legs.
They stared, taking a break from kissing. Elincia arched her back in a certain way and grabbed Boyd by the shoulders. He kissed her again, positioning himself on top of her.
Many minutes had passed and the only thing that could be head was their deep breathing and soft groans.
"Boyd…"
Boyd lifted his head and turned to the voices' direction. Immediately he got up and struggled to put his pants back on as Elincia fixed her dress, sitting up.
"Mist…this isn't…" Boyd stopped not being able to think of anything smart to say.
Tears started to form in her eyes.
"Mist, listen…" Elincia began.
Mist clenched her fists and suddenly took off. Boyd had barely managed to buckle up when he grabbed Elincia and pulled her to her feet.
"Go after her!" Elincia demanded, pointing to the direction where Mist had run off to.
The next second, she was completely alone, feeling more miserable than before.
Okay, sorry I can't do a better job to portray Elincia. I just don't like her…
