Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine

Amira packed a basket full of deliciousness for them to snack on. Including drinks just in case they get thirsty and need something to drink. She headed upstairs to get Leo changed and ready to go out. It was a bit of a trouble but she got him to change and take a bath.

"Leo stop playing around with that" Amira said taking the duckling from out of Leo's hand. Leo had found the duckling in the bathroom so he snatched it and started playing with it. Amira picked Leo up and placed him on her waist.

She proceeded downstairs and into the kitchen to grabbed the basket sitting on the counter. She waited for Malik to come downstairs so they could head out for there picnic.

Soon Malik started walking down the stairs fixing his sleeve. Amira set Leo down on the floor and he ran up to Malik who picked him up in his hands and started tickling him.

Amira watched as the two played together Malik looked at her and leaned in to kiss her forehead. She looked at him with wide eyes before running away she walks down the corridor of the castle.

With Leo and Malik trailing right behind her with a couple of maids. There was a white carriage waiting outside for them with two imperial guards standing on each side of the carriage. Amira stood there and waited for Malik and Leo to catch up with her.

Malik stood nexted to Amira with Leo in his hands. "Why are you standing here get on the carriage" he whispered in her ear. Amira turned to look at Malik with a seriously look on her face. "What's with the carriage and the imperial guards are we going somewhere" Amira asked. Malik sighed he truly didn't want to tell her the truth he knew she wouldn't come along if he did.

"I'm sorry for not informing you that we are traveling to Scotland" Malik said in an apologetic voice. Amira sighed and nodded her head she clenched down hard onto the handle of the picnic basket.

"Then was the picnic just an excuse to get me to come along" Amira asked. Malik nodded his head with a sad expression on his face. Amira looked away from Malik and walked towards the carriage.

She held up half of her dress and stepped into the carriage she sat down and placed the picnic basket nexted to her. Malik watched as she got inside the carriage and sat down placing the light brown picnic basket nexted to her.

Soon a well dressed man came up to Malik and bowed to Malik. "Your majesty we must go now the King and Queen. Of Scotland is awaiting your arrival" the white mustache and grey haired man said. Malik turned his attention to his advisor.

"Alright Berlin can you please inform mother and father that we have left" Malik said. Berlin nodded and immediately left to complete his given task. Malik walked towards the carriage and stepped inside he sat down across from Amira and placed Leo down nexted to him.

The imperial guards closed the door to the carriage and went to there horses. They were there to protect the royal family incase they are met with danger on there way to Scotland. Amira turned her attention away from Malik to her son who was bitting his finger nails.

"Baby stop bitting your finger nails" Amira said. Leo looked up at his mother and obeyed her he was only hungry he remembered that he had not eaten breakfast. Amira looked at Leo and wondered why he was bitting his finger nails. It then snapped to her he had not eaten breakfast.

She immediately opened the picnic basket and broke off half of the bread she had packed. And some freshly cold milk and handed both to her son. His sad expression disappeared into a bright smile when his mother passed him the half piece of bread.

And freshly cold milk he took the bread and the milk that his mother had opened for him. He took a bite of the bread and swallowed it down with the milk. Amira watched as her son ate happily Malik was paying attention to Amira as she smiled.

She had not noticed that she was smiling but he did he loved her cute little smile. Thirty minutes later Amira fell asleep woth her head leaning back in an uncomfortable position.

Malik got worried about the position she was sleeping in what if he hurts her neck. He wanted to wake her but at the same time he didn't want to. Malik sat there and crossed his legs as he admires the sleeping beauty in front of him.

" She's even more beautiful when she's sleeping" he whispered. After an hour of carriage ride they stoped at an Inn to rest up. "Alright we'll rest here we'll leave early in the morning" Malik said.

The men nodded and all headed to there assigned rooms. Malik , Amira and Leo headed to there room all three of them had to sleep in the same room. It was kind of hard for the three to sleep on one bed but they made it work.

Soon morning came there were lots of people outside birds flying around and chirping. Amira had awoken earlier than everyone else she went outside to get some fresh air.

When she came back in she woke Leo and Malik so they could all make there way to Scotland before sunset. The carriage ride was another long ride cold nights and lack of food. But luckily they made it to there destination the carriage pulled up to the castle.

Where the King and Queen of Scotland stood with a few other people by there side. The carriage door opened and Malik was the first one to step out of the carriage.

He held out his hand so Amira could take it and step out of the carriage. Amira took Leo in her arms and set him back down on the ground once he was out of the carriage. Amira stood in front of the Royal family of Scotland Queen Fiona and King Fergus.
