I meet with Trisha the next day, walking swiftly into her neighborhood. However, I spot the four knights, Trisha and Veronica talking seriously about something. I inch closer, trying to listen to what they're saying.
"... but she can't be…"
"It doesn't add up…"
"... you would know if you saw…"
Could they be talking about me? No, I already told Dylan as King that I wasn't Aurora. What's going on? I pretend to be walking toward them as if I just arrived.
"Hello! How's everyone?"
I fake a big smile that I usually would never do. They all pretend to smile too and act as if the conversation they had didn't exist. I see Dylan smirk in the background. What's up with them?!
We walk and talk like usual, but I could see that something was bothering Trisha. Well, not something, it was definitely the conversation. Moreover, Dylan was staring so sharply at my back, I thought he'd carve out a hole or something. About a half hour later, Trisha whispered something to Veronica who nodded. I ignored them and continued with the knights.
Everything was fine until at lunch, Trisha's face darkened.
"Um, you see… Aurora… are you um…"
"The King?"Veronica finishes.
I almost spit out the tea I was drinking, though I knew this was coming because of that wench.
"Why would you ask that?"
I act innocent and smile.
"Isn't the King a man?"
"R-right… It couldn't possibly…" Trisha stammers.
Then that sly fox Dylan acts up, "Well, I met with the King yesterday and it was a woman. And also, your magic somewhat matches up."
"Well, doesn't the King have red eye-"
Aah! I just @#$%^&* messed up big time…
"How do you know that?" Dylan inquires with a big grin on his face.
Curse him! Ruining my pleasant life!
"Well, it was just maid gossip…"
I act very uncomfortable, actually I am very uncomfortable at the moment. I cool myself down.
"Well, if I said I was King, what would you do? Would you believe me?"
Trisha's face darkens and her eyes start tearing up.
"You are?"
"I didn-"
She runs into her house and leaves us outside with the food.
"Wait-"
I scream after her.
Ryan, Dylan, Justin, and Kyle kneel and say, "Your majesty"
I glare at them and see Dylan smirk. Veronica leaves without a word. I am so pissed! So pissed! You don't know how pissed I am right now! I run on high speed through the trees and back to the palace without a word to them. So that's what happened! Dylan knew that I was King all along and planned this! Anyways, the cat's out of the bag. I slam my hands on the table. But he ruined my peaceful life so he must pay.
"Call the head aristocrat, Silver! Now!"
"You called your majesty?"
I glare at him, and put my feet up on my desk. Irate doesn't even start to explain my emotion.
"I want your son, Dylan exiled."
