hey dearies.
Sorry I took a little longer than what I said...
Here is the 15th Chappy.
Not long, not short, but sorta ok..?
Enjoy
We sat out to the Kingdome of Eden a week later, after gathering and arranging everything. The Queen left her council in charge and after a few pleadings from Anna she gave in and let Anna take over as a sort of acting Queen.
Anna stipulated that it would help her learn to rule the kingdom one day if something were to happen to Elsa.
After some silence Elsa agreed seeing the logic behind it, seeing as there were attempts at her life during the fearsome freeze and before the great thaw.
My blood boiled at remembering that this was also the Southern Isles' fault.
What a loud of scum...
The Queen and I along with a handful of guards followed the Seasons' ship with our own. It was going to be 2 weeks sailing till there and I was alright with the time to think everything through. The Queen and I shared the main cabin on the ship seeing as we opted for a slimmer one to travel faster than a big one that would take forever.
The first 2 days on the ship the Queen and I played chess to keep ourselves busy. She was good, then again I had only played it a handful of times before then.
The next eleven days she taught me about other kingdoms and how trade is like. All those fun things a ruler should know.
Thank goodness I was a fast learner.
On the last day I was just enjoying the fresh air as I sat at the front of the ship. The water was shiny and so blue, it was beautiful. Especially with the sun setting. I was humming as I enjoyed the light breeze.
The Queen joined me as the sun was about half way. I smiled as I continued to hum and added tapping my foot lazily with it. She chuckled behind her hand and smile at me.
"Care to share the song?" She asked and I looked to her slightly.
"Are you sure my Queen?" I asked and she nodded. I looked down briefly to think about it before relaxing more as I smiled.
"On one of our travels we stayed at a little village for a week or so to get new supplies and there was a party where they sang this cheery song before the man asked the woman to marry him and I just love it," I explain before looking out onto the ocean as I began.
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With never a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you would marry me
No scorching sun nor freezing cold
Will stop me (on my journey, sorry!)
If you will promise me your heart
And love
And love me for eternity
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need for mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me
But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry (oh, would you?)
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me
I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold
I only want you near me
To love and kiss to sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all life's sorrows
And delights
I'll keep your laugh inside me
I'll swim and sail a savage seas
With never a fear of drowning
I'd gladly ride the waves so white
And you will marry me!
Her eyes were twinkling as she giggled behind her hand. I bit my lip and looked out over the almost disappeared sun.
"That was delightful," she said and looked out onto the calm waters with me. I nodded and chuckled.
"It was so lively and they were dancing and clapping, it was a lot of fun." I smiled and she did too. We didn't talk much after, just enjoying our time together before needing to take on what lays ahead for me tomorrow.
That night I couldn't sleep. My mind kept keeping me awake with thoughts. I just hope there is some misunderstanding, or a way to just have this all forgotten so I could go back to being my Queens gardener.
All of this is so much pressure and there are a lot to keep in mind and learn. I don't think I can do this.
What if I mess up?
What if I end the Kingdom for good?
I let out a small whimper as I roll onto my side.
What if I'm not good enough?
There is rustling to my side and I lay still. I forgot that the Queen was sharing a cabin with me. I shouldn't wake her. She's the only reason I want to find out about this. There might be something I can do if I really am royalty. Even though I know my chases of being with her are still almost none existent…
I can dream can't I?
I sigh and close my eyes forcing myself to fall into a dreamless sleep.
There ya have it...
I always feel uncomfy working a song in, but I couldn't resist...
I really love musicals...
Hope you all enjoy...
