As I opened my eyes, I found myself laying on a liberty-blue bed, the moonlight from outside, seeping through the curtains, indicating that it's nighttime over here as well. 'Seems like we have a good timing.' I thought as I got up from the laying position and Spottedleaf woke up on a sofa in the corner of the room, dressed as one of the servants.
I, on the other hand, was dressed in a silver-looking robe that ended by my knees and I bet that it was made from silk.
"Perfect landing, huh?" She asked. "Definitely, and as you can see, Frellius likes expensive things, but we need to change quickly because if I'm guessing right, this is the night when the Sherwood gang will try to rob the royal chest." I thought as I changed into more appropriate attire with a snap of my fingers. "Could you explain that, please? We're not all bookworms like you."
"Right, Sebastian's parents were the ones who made Moonlit kingdom and Sunshine kingdom enemies, because Sebastian's father is an older brother of the king of Sunshine kingdom and was supposed to be crowned as the king, but their father denied him that right, saying that he would cause only damage and despair. It was also the wish of the Sun goddess, the one who was worshipped by everybody there, thus nobody dared to complain.
And so Galex II. sat on the throne, his wife, Raphaella, beside him, and after a year or so, she gave birth to a boy called Angelo, which yes, that's the main protagonist of the story.
Well, back to the problem, Sebastian's dad, who was mentioned only three times in the book so far and doesn't even have a name. But like, maybe it's because I have not read it to the end." I trailed off and Spottedleaf snapped her fingers in front of me.
"I need to stop rambling, get it, so, he sent a letter to the Moonlit kingdom few months before Angelo was born, saying, that he's declaring war on them and signed it by his brother's name. He did the same thing with his brother, acting shocked when he was delivered "the news". The problem is that those two used to be good friends and Galex wanted to talk it out, but Sebastian's father burned that letter, sending a fake reply from the king of Moonlight kingdom, Jenesiel, refusing to meet up. It is not known what was written in it, but it was enough to enrage the king, gather his army, and meet his ex-friend on the battlefield. Jenesiel tried to argue with him but received insults instead of wise words. Well, while the war was happening, the queen was appointed to rule until her husband would return. The sad thing was, that Galex was killed on the battlefield, and he never returned home to meet his son. Raphaella tried to stay strong, but when she gave birth to Angelo, the queen did not have enough strength to rule the kingdom and take care of a son, who looked like her deceased spouse, so she handed the place to Sebastian's dad, who planned this from the beginning.
A month in with him ruling the kingdom, the queen went to speak to him, enraged because she had found the letters Sebastian's dad wrote and recognized his handwriting. He thought that nothing bad would happen to him, since he was a king but oh, was he wrong. The queen let him be beheaded. Raphaella took pity on his son, seeing that he was just a five-year-old at the time, was told to run and never return and so he did. Nobody knows what happened to him after that, but we could assume that he travelled to the Moonlit kingdom and met his gang there.
Angelo then somehow met Frellius, who was three years older than him, in the middle of the woods when he was running from some of the bad people that knew Sebastian's father and wanted to take 'revenge' for their leader. Because of their friendship, the two kingdoms became friends again.
Years later, Sebastian became the leader of bandits, who were known all across the kingdom. He cared for only one person and that was his adoptive mother, who sheltered him when he needed it because everybody else turned their back on him. He planned to steal all of Moonlit kingdom's money king's chest, but the problem was, that they were caught since it was a trap made by the protagonist, Angelo, and his best friend Frellius, which is currently me.
The king, Jenesiel, almost immediately recognized that- after taking his mask off- Sebastian looked exactly like his dead friend's brother, and being overwhelmed, he handed his fate into the hands of his son. That was not the right decision, because Angelo felt wronged because he never got to meet his dad, thanks to Sebastian's father. He felt that if Sebastian died, he would finally be relieved and so he asked Frellius to let him be beheaded and- because they were friends and he only heard the bad things about Sebastian-, Frellius agreed, making Sebastian end just like his father.
Spoiler alert: It did not help him feel better about his father's death." I ended the explanation and Spottedleaf looked puzzled. "Dude, you explain things as if we had stopped the time, which I very kindly did when I heard footsteps in the hallway." She said and I groaned. "Sorry, Leafy, I can't help it." I apologized and she patted my head. "It's ok but tell me what to do now."
"Alright, please go back to that sofa and pretend that you're asleep. From what I read, somebody will come and check if everybody is asleep because they think that we all swallowed the pills one of Sebastian's subordinates slipped in the tea." I said and she nodded. "Oh, by the way," I said, and she paused because she already wanted to make time to continue. "That servant is you, so I guess that you had a good choice?" I questioned. "Oh, that does give us an advantage." She smiled a fox-like smile and went to lay down just like she was told to. "Then goodnight, young prince." Spottedleaf said and the time started flowing again.
The last thing I heard, before closing my eyes, was a faint creak of the door.
