The king____
All my life i have always been reminded that i have a duty to fulfill when i become the next king.
Before my father's death Mike had warned i and my father seriously.
We tried to avoid it but i guess his fate was inevitable.
My Uncle David killed my father out of jealousy and had set a trap for me.
Everyone thought i had left for Gwartsburg school to train, if only they knew the truth.
All my experinces made me stronger, wiser and more knowledgeable .
My Uncle does not know the storm that awaits him.
It was almost noon and i smiled when i remember that i have a date with a very pretty lady.
"It's not a date " i murmur to myself.
Eleanor was different and very mysterious.
I would really like her to know her and one day tell her who i was, but now was not the right time.
My arrival to my kingdom was a surprise to everyone especially my relatives .
They all thought that i was dead. My uncle lied to the people of Cipriano, telling them that i was away studying and fighting war. But the truth was, they were patiently waiting for my 30th birthday, the actual age for me to be crowned the next king.
I would be 30 in 10 months time.
I knew all their plans, they planned to forge a story of how i died in battle and then since i had no heir, my uncle would be made the next king.
The truth about royalty is, we lie all the time.
The attack on my life was actually planned by me.
It was risky but it was a risk i desperately needed to take.
I needed to come back but i knew that i needed to make them let their guard down by putting my life in danger.
Unknowingly to them i have always been inside the kingdom. I stayed hidden in a secret underground room inside the palace, only Mike and some very trusted and loyal servants knew about it.
I needed to be close if i was going to find out all of my uncle's plans.
Normally, i would have been found but Mike was a very powerful wizard.
Everyone in the palace thought he was just an old healer but no one knew that he was actually 45 year. I would forever be grateful to him.
He taught me magic and with his help i have secretly gained the trust of some villages and kingdoms.
When i arrived at the lake, i could see Eleanor as she fed the ducks.
She looked so beautiful and her skin glowed under the sun.
She turned around and saw me looking surprised "Hey" she said waving shyly.
"How are you?" I ask her
"I'm fine" she replies. "How are you?"
I smile, "I'm fine"
I guess i will be fine.
"So where do you want to go?" I ask
"Lets go to the circus, you would love it" she said.
I could see the excitement in her eyes.
"Okay " i agree. "Give me your hands" i tell her.
"O..okay" she looks at me confused.
I smirk, "i will teleport us there in a second. Just close your eyes."
She looked at me amazed but closed her eyes.
I chanted the magic words as i pictured the circus. I felt a very big wind consume the both of us instantly.
I opened my eyes and looked down to see that Eleanor still shut her eyes, her grip on my hand was tighter.
"Don't be scared, you can open your eyes " i say to her.
She did, looking around her surrounding.
"Wow, that was crazy!" she exclaimed.
She looked around feeling giddy.
"Come on, we'll miss the show" she said dragging me along with her.
We arrived at the circus and took our seats.
A lot of people smiled at the both of us.
It was funny how i was to become the next king but my people do not even know what i look like.
Every one assumed i looked exactly like my father but they were very wrong. I had more of my mother's eyes and hair color. But i had my father's high chin and lips.
As we watched the show i became more and more interested in it.
It was a mime about a greedy hunter. The story was funny .
When the show ended, we explored other stands in the circus square.
"Did you like it?" Asked Elena.
"Yes i did, it was inspiring"
She looked relieved and happy.
An old woman suddenly came and stopped infront of us.
"Young lovers, to strengthen your love against obstacles, buy this celestine crystals.
I looked at Eleanor and saw that she was already blushing.
I smirked mischeviously.
"Eleanor, do you like it?" I teased
She blushed even harder.
"Love, the poor old lady is waiting " i teased holding her hand.
She glared at me but she looked even cuter.
"Madam, we..'re not"
"Oh my dear, so so shy, take this Carnelian crystal, it'll bring you good luck and fertility." The old lady interrupted.
"But i don't need it", she protested.
"We're taking it". I say.
I could feel Eleanor's stare as i bought three carnelian stones just to tease her more.
Ekeanor was a fresh of air in my lonely and sad life. I had a lot of fun.
"I need to go", she said looking up at me sadly. "It's late"
"I really had fun today", i say to her.
I tucked in a hair that fell over her eyes and she blushed.
"Cute "
"What?" She asked looking up at me with large green eyes.
"Nothing" i reply clearing my throat.
"I am going to go now", she said looking conflicted but none of us made a move.
"So.. until next time"
She nodded slowly smiling at me.
"Bye "
"Bye", i reply.
I watched her as she disappers into the crowd.
"I think I'm falling in love", i thought.
