Dangerous places

I didn´t have my strenght back yet because i haven´t used my muscles in a while so i get tired more quickly.

We continued to ride to the castle after everyone was ready and sat on their horses. After a while i could see a huge wall. There were guards there who guarded the entrance ande they let us through. There were many houses and a long path up to a huge castle. Conrad rode to the castle and helped me down. Everything was too much for me to take in and i felt a little dizzy.

Are we secure now, i said?

Yes no one can get in here without us noticing it, said Conrad.

Ok good... after that i collapsed.

YOUR MAJESTY, screamed Conrad and Wolfram.

Conrad ran to me and took me up in his arms and ran in to the castle after the guard opened the door as fast as they could.

3 days later

I woke up and there sat Conrad waiting for me to wake up. I woke up on a sunny and warm day.

Are you ok your majesty?

I feel a little better.

A woman came in to the room and walked towards me and took her hand towards me and her hand started glowing.

I´m Gisela and i´m going to see if you have injuries because i´m a healer.

No i´m ok, I insisted and stood up and looked out trough the window. The sun was so warm and beautiful.

Have you never been out in the sun, you are so pale, said Gisela.

This is the first time because i´ve benn locked up in different places all my life without a window, said I with a lower voice.

Have you never been outside, said someone surprising and I turned around and saw that it was Wolfram.

Well technically I was outside one time 1 year ago when I ran from the clan that killed my village and distinguished my clan, but let´s not talk about the past.

I turned around to Conrad and asked what I should do and told him to tell me more about what he meant with Majesty.

You have black hair and black eyes so you are the demon king because no one else has it and it shows that you have royal blood in you, and you have magic so that you can protect everyone in the kingdom and become our 27:th king.

WHAAAAAAAT am I king?

Yes you are the king and you are supposed to rule this kingdom after you have been crowned, said Wolfram.

Ok but how is that supposed to happen I have never used magic powers?

You don´t need to have powers but it´s normal to have powers and we have never had a king with no powers, said Conrad.

So you can´t use magic you wimp we can´t trust on someon to protect us who can´t even defend someone, said Wolfram.

We can talk about it later ´cause it´s dinner now and if you your majesty feel good again you can come eat with us, said Conrad.

Yeah I feel better than ever.

I followed them to the dining room and there were other people sitting at the table eating. On of them runs up to me and goes down on his knee.

I am Lord Gunter von Christ and i´m at your service your highness.

Stand up you don´t have to be so formal.

Then someone else walked to me and said...

Is this our next king!

How can you say such a rude thing to our lovely new king, said Gunter.

Pffft

Nice to meet you who are you? I said.

I am Lord Gwendal von Voltaire

After that i walked to a woman who was sitting at the table and asked her who she was.

I am Cecilie von Spitzweg

Nice to meet you.

After that we all sat down and started eating. When i picked up my fork i was still a little shaky over what has happened ´cause everytime i close my eyes i see the death of my clan. They looked at me because i had dropped a tear when i thought about it.

Cecilie wanted to get a a konversation started so she said..

So how old are you?

I got 12 this year.

Then you are not so old she said and smiled.

I don´t like to be so formal and say you majesty or highness so can you tell me your name?

I looked sad up to her face and didn´t say a word.

Just say your name, it´s not like you have a weird name right? Wimp, said Wolfram.

I-I don´t have a n-name, I said a little disappointed ´cause a name is something special in my point of view. It´s a thing your parents give you once a lifetime.

Everyone got surprised and looked at me.

Don´t you have a name, said Gwendal?

No I never got one because I didn´t need one because I never got to meet people or talked with them and my parents didn´t want to give me one because it wasn ´t "necessary", I said a little disappointed I would really want to have a name that people call me.

It´s no problem we can call you your higness, said Gunter.

After that it got quiet and we didn´t talk so much. After I ate up I went to my room because I have already memorized the way. I saw that the sun was shining and I wanted to go out but they didn´t let me because it is to dangerous becore I get crowned.

But I wanted to go out so I sneaked out through the castlegates and walked down the long path to the village. There were many people that looked at me ´cause they could see that I was the king, because of my black hair and eyes. I was walking outside the walls and walked into the forest and there is a little mountain where I can see when the sun goes down. I had read a book about the sunset and it said that it was beautiful when it disappeared beyond the horizon so I was waiting for it.

The sunset is finally coming and it is beautiful but when I turn around is there someone who stands there and says...

Are you the king?

Yes apparently I am.

Then it is the right person, follow me.

No I am not allowed to follow strangers.

Your ARE going to come with me he said that I can get much money if I give you to the king of the humans!

NO let go of ME, I screamed when he took my arm.

After that Conrad came running to me but there was someone else hiding who attacked him. But Conrad is good with swords and gets the person down on the ground. But the man who has me is threatening to kill me with his sword and points it to my stomach and says that he will press it in my stomach if Conrad moves. Conrad gives up but right then comes Wolfram and them an gets scared and presses the sword in my stoamch and I start bleeding really much but i´m still alive.

NOOOOOO, screamed Conrad and Wolfram.

After that Gwendal and Gunter came and Gwendal wanted to run to me but I told him to not do it. When the two men wanted to run it was just like someone toldm e what to do and I started glowing blue and stared flying a bit over the ground and using water. I used powerful watermagic to capture them in a watercage and Gwendal and Gunter held them after that. I stopped my magic and fell down and Conrad catched me. I told Conrad to put me down and he did so. I take my hand and put it on my injury. Then many people are around me and look terrified. I pull the sword out and use my powers to heal the injury. It closedf up but I could still feel the pain. I stand up and everyone got surprised over how fast I could heal myself. But they were also happy that I was ok.
