Hello everyone. Here is chapter 15. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)

After being ousted from the throne by Haredi, Banderas and Maria are now living deep in the forest as they cuddled each other while occasionally sharing kisses and showing their love as they tried to keep themselves hidden from Haredi's men, who are patrolling the area.

Banderas was asleep with Maria wrapped in his wings and her head laid on his chest when he had decided to write his mother a letter in accepting the affair that he is having with Maria, though, he knew that he was causing problems for his own best friend for conducting the affair in the first place.

He had finished writing the letter when he went in search for a certain young boy that, he hopes, will send the letter to his mother as he knew that only his mother should see the letter if he is to have any chance of his mother accepting his affair with Maria, though, he managed to find the young boy.

"Hey, Arthur, come here, please" asked Banderas as Arthur ran over to him. "I have an very important mission for you".

"Really?, that is so awesome" said Arthur as he tried to not get too excited. "So, what is the mission, my King?".

"I need you to take this letter" said Banderas as he handed Arthur the letter. "It should only be for my mother's eyes, understand?".

"Yes, my King, I understand" said Arthur as he bowed to Banderas. "I will give the letter to your mother, at once".

Banderas bowed back as Arthur got onto a horse and he began riding to King Henry's kingdom with the letter in hand, Knowing that He has his first mission to do and he is willingly to see it through, no matter if he is at risk of being caught by an outlaw or a bandit or worse, Henry and Charles.

The young boy rode until he had finally arrived at King Henry's kingdom and he wasn't sure if he was going to like being there, though, he was hoping to meet Queen Sarah as he had heard that she, apart from Banderas, is one of the good royals of her kingdom and she can be trusted.

He was briefly stopped by the guards and they let him in when they were told that he has a message for Queen Sarah, this being enough for the guards to let him enter the castle and they did so without complaint as Arthur rode his horse until he entered the courtyard, got off the horse, before entering the Royal palace itself.

One of the Royal guards escorted him to the Queen and he found himself entering the throne room as he bowed while walking as he had learned this back home about showing respect to the royals by bowing in the throne room and not rushing to meet them as well as rising when they tell you to.

Arthur continued to bow to Queen Sarah until she told him to rise and he did so without hesitation as he told her about a message from her son, Banderas, which got the Queen's attention as she told the guards to leave her and Arthur before recieving the letter from Arthur and reading it.

To my awesome mother

I don't know how to explain this, but, I am in love with Maria and I know that this will damage my friendship to Albert as I know that he will be angry at what I am doing and he could very well hate my guts for it, something I can't blame him for as I had allowed myself to be in this position in the first place.

I have also married Maria in secret and we have decided to have children together as we want to start our own family during our life in the forest, though, I hope that you will eventually accept this affair and I know that this will have devastating consequences for my own best friend and his beautiful wife's kingdom.

Speaking of which, Haredi has invaded and conquered Albert's kingdom as he now rules as King, though, with an iron-fist as he passes new laws that put the people of my best friend's kingdom into slavery as well as forcing them to built new castles for his barons while he kills the nobles that crowned Albert King.

Forgive me, mother, I know that this brings pain to you and I am so sorry for putting you through this, though, I hope that you will accept this affair that I am having with Maria as it will warm my heart knowing that you accept it when no one else will and I will support your response whatever it may be, in due time.

Your son, Banderas

Queen Sarah had tears streaming down her face as she began to write a reply to her son while knowing that her son is involved in a political situation where the experience could come back to haunt him and she knew this very well when her father had an affair with another Royal, something that has haunted her since.

When she was finished writing the response letter, she gave it to Arthur and she told him to be careful about the growing threat of her husband, Henry, as he would want to kill anyone that didn't share his view of the world and Arthur agreed to be careful as he got back on his horse and he rode off to Banderas.

Unknown to Arthur, his younger brother and their mother were hatching a plot to assassinate Banderas with a group of nobles, who despised Banderas and aided Haredi in his quest to bring order back to Albert's kingdom as he knew that the people are still most likely to rebel against him.
