I woke up to Clara crying, I wonder what happened. "Clara, what's wrong?",I asked. "Sorry for waking you, My Lady. It's my son, they're hanging him today at noon.",she cried. I promised her that I'd save him, and now I have to that before I'm too late. "Clara! My word! This is terrible!",I cried. I got out of bed and walk out of my chambers. Clara came running after me. "My Lady! Your not dressed!",she shouted. Oh no! I just walked out with her son on my mind, I completely forgot to change. I turned around and Daniel and two other guards were standing there. They were all looking down. I feel so embarrassed. "Clara, pull out my red satin dress that is off the shoulder.",I demanded. I walked back into my room and started brushing my hair, even though it was Clara's job, but I was eager to save her son. She came up to me holding the dress. I stood up and she helped me get into it. I started walking to the door and Clara came running up to me. "My Lady! Your crown!",she laughed. "Hahahahaha! Right!",I laughed. She placed it on my head and we walked out the door together. "My Lady!",shouted Daniel. "Yes?",I asked. "Your cousin and her fiancé are leaving today, your father wanted me to tell you to say goodbye to them before they leave this afternoon.",Daniel announced. "Okay, thank you Daniel.",I blushed. What is wrong with me! Clara was walking with me because I told her to. "My Lady, where are we going?",she asked. "To go free your son before it's too late.",I said. She started crying tears of joy. Loosing a child is the worse thing that could ever happen to anyone. "Thank you, My Lady!",she cried. "I sent a message to my father asking to meet up with him today, I also ordered a guard to take you to see your son. You are allowed to spend time with him in the dungeon, until he is freed. May I know what he was accused of?",I said. "He was accused of sabotaging your horse on the day you were lost in the woods... My Lady.",she mumbled. What!?! How could he sabotage my horse? Fiona got spooked by something in the woods, the stable boy had nothing to do with it. Right? "That is such an accusation! He caused no harm to me nor my horse! This is outrageous!",I screamed. Clara smiled for only a second, then she looked disturbed by something. "What's wrong, Clara?",I asked. "Oh nothing... it's just... what if you can't save him, what if your too late?",she cried. "Don't think of such a thing, Clara! We will save him in time!",I said. We parted ways when the guard came and escorted her to the dungeon. I continued to walk to get approval of freeing her son. "Knock knock!",I laughed, entering the meeting room. Father looked pale, and weak. "Father! Are you alright?",I cried. "Yes My dear, I've just been so tired lately. I'm going to die any day now...",he mumbled. "What! No! I'm not ready!",I cried. "Yes... yes you are.",he smiled. I couldn't believe this, how could he be so calm. "Now, my dearest, why had you called me here?",he asked. I felt bad asking to make my first order as future queen, but I had to do this for Clara and her son. I couldn't let Clara's son die. "Father... I feel bad for asking this, but may I make my first order as... future Queen?",I asked. "My dear, what is the order you would like to make?",he asked. "I want to demand Clara's son's freedom, the stable boy who is accused of harming my horse, getting me lost in the woods. He is getting hanged very soon, and I want to stop it.",I said. "I see...",Father started hesitating, which worried me. "I will give permission for this. If, you marry someone with a title.",said father. "What!?! I... I want to rule independently Father! I... I have to think about this...",I stated. "By all means... but don't take too long, it's almost noon.",said Father, King Nigel. "Fine! I'll marry! Can I save him now?",I begged. He shook his head allowing me to free Clara's son. I ran out of the room, running to save him before it's too late. I ran to the main hall and rushed down the staircase. I was running so fast that I couldn't stop myself. Daniel was right there, and I ended up tripping over my own two feet. "Ahhh!",I screamed. Daniel turned to face me, and I fell into his arms, pushing him to the ground, falling on top of him. "I am sooo sorry!",I cried. I got up and started running. "Wait! Where are you going, your highness?",Daniel shouted. "Can't talk right now, I have to save him!",I cried out, rushing outside. Daniel starting chasing after me, like he was worried about me. How sweet, but I don't have time for that. The new stable boy was pulling out Fiona, when I ran up to her, jumped onto her bareback and I rode off with her. "Yah! Yah!",I shouted. I went as fast as Fiona could go. Daniel stole someone's horse to chase after me, but I just kept going. "Yah! Yah!",I shouted. I made it to the place where they were going to hang him. They were tying him up, preparing to hang him. I pulled the rains, stopping Fiona in her tracks. "Stop! In the name of my Father, the King!",I shouted as loud as I could. The soldiers stopped in their tracks, noticing me, they bowed down to their future Queen. "Release him. That's an order.",I shouted, walking up to Clara's son. They untied her son, and he fell on his knees, and then he thanked me. Clara ran up from behind me, grabbing her son hugging him. Then she looked at me and said,"Thank you so much My Lady! You have no idea how much this means to me!"
It felt good to help them. I turned around and the crowd went wild, -apparently Clara's son is very important to all these people- they started praising me, one person shouted,"all hail our future Queen!". That made me smile, then Daniel walked up and agreed with that person. Daniel bowed down to me and then everyone bowed down along with him. It was something that I would never be able to forget.
