Chapter 6

Confessing my feelings

*aragon #not important#

Arya POV

The meeting was very boring. Then when it was finally over it got a little exciting when he decided to attack me. When I looked at Eragon I could tell there was something going on, he was clearly boiling of anger, but what he did then was way worse then I expected. I would have been fine if he had attacked Mokdath, but kissing me in front of every single important elven lord! That was a night mare! I realized what he was doing about two seconds earlier, but then it was too late. His lips touched mine and I was shocked. Not because of the kiss it self , but the audience. Looking shocked was the worst thing I could have done to him. That made the lords think, that I didn't want it. The best thing I could do was to make it seem like I had no problem with him kissing me, but I was too shocked. I could already hear footsteps coming this way. I tried to relax and just think about the kiss. It worked. My muscles started responding, so I easily lifted my hand as to show the others it was okey. After waiting a while to be sure they saw my sign, I wrapped my arms around his neck a concentrated fully on him. After 10 seconds, I felt Eragon licking my lower lip, as if asking for entrance, and I let him. Being queen has it's ups and downs, but a serious down is that you can't even have 30 seconds time to share a proper kiss with someone whiteout every single lord in the whole city crowding to watch. As soon as we broke apart, all of them started yelling some of how they should punish Eragon, and some whether I was fine or not. "Calm down!" I yelled " calm down? With all respect, you were just kissed twice against you're will in 24h!" Dätherd yelled. Great just great. Eragon managed to create the biggest problem of my whole reign. "Actually just once" I said calmly " I-" I gulped being nervous "I like Eragon! A lot."confessing that was harder than I had thought. Than I looked at Eragon, who I just realized I was still tangled in an embrace with. I quickly let go and side stepped, so I wasn't touching him. "Wait, so you like him?" One of the other lords asked confused. I nodded. "If you'd excuse us, we have some stuff to talk over." I said and dragged Eragon out by his ear" We ,we'll a specially he got a lot of stares. Getting dragged out of the throne room by the queen is not something you do every day. I didn't let go, until we reached my room."what were you thinking?" I screamed the second my door closed " do you even understand the risk you put you're self into?" Eragon bowed and said:" Arya, I'm really sorry. I don't know what got into me!" I could tell that he was truly regretting it by hi expression. I couldn't stay mad at him so I said:" we've gotten out of way worse things. I'm sure we can figure it out." Then I bid him goodbye and concentrated on thinking about the talk I had to have with Nasuada later that day.

Later the same day I stepped out of my room and headed towards the throne room. I could only take 5 steps before a female elf with silver hair stopped me and asked whether I really kissed 'the powerful dragon rider' I could tell she was very young so I simply told her that yes I did and that I'm equally powerful.

"Ah you are? Let's test that theory of yours" I heard a familiar voice behind me. Eragon. "Sure thing. Here, now?" I asked happily. He nodded so we cleared the area of 'civils' before we drew our swords, I leaned in to kiss him, but before our lips touched I stopped and instead crapped Brisingr, jumping out of he's reach quickly "are you going to fight without a weapon oh mighty shadeslayer?" I asked teasingly playing with his sword. The I threw it back to him and we started sparring. After an hour we were both very sweaty but still going, so we decided to call it a truce.

"Hey Eragon, wanna come talk to Nasuada with me?" I asked

Eragon POV

"Hello Arya" we heard trough the mirror. I was not on yet because we wanted to surprise Nasuada.

"Hi Nasuada. I have a surprise for you." Arya said and twisted the mirror so that she could see Eragon as well. "Eragon" Nasuada screamed excitedly"what are you doing there?"

Seeing Nasuada reminded me that I had been 20 years since I last visited Alagaësia. Actually beside a few wrinkles Nasuada hadn't changed much at all. "What are you doing here?" I Heard her ask, I answered telling her about my vacation here in Alagaësia. Mid way trough my speech I slid my hand lovingly in Arya's. Arya and Nasuada talked 10 more minutes about politics and then Nasuada asked in a very curious voice;" Eragon, I don't mean to be rude, but is there something going on between you two?" I thought about our intense French kiss this morning and laughed answering:" maybe something little" in a very mischievous voice. Then we chatted about the news of Alagaësia for a few more minutes before saying our goodbyes. Since the day had been full of events I decided to retire as well so I kissed Arya good night and went to bed.

Had to write Eragons POV three times over cause I forgot to save... Few... Hope ya liked it!
