"Your Majesty, Erix is already here to see you". Lancelot said the next day kneeling in the king's presence.
"Okay then, let him I'm" Johnathan ordered raising his hand, making the other guards leave.
"Yes Your Majesty," Lancelot replied leaving as well.
"John, what could be so urgent that you sent for me so urgently and Lancelot said looked worried saying it's about something that happened 18 years ago".
he said worried and concerned at the same time.
" It's about your daughter Agie". he said plainly.
"My daughter? what happened to her? is she okay?" he asked worried.
"Nothing has happened, but I think Cane is after her for some reason I know not about, that's why I want you to take her from here in as much I feel attached to her already". he said with a sad face not knowing if he is to continue with his decision or not .
"So, are you saying the kids should be brought back to their respective places?"
he asked confused.
"Yes, that's what I'm saying, I want you to continue protecting Agatha but I will always see her as my daughter and that you should have my own son come back so that I won't put you in arms way".
he said meaning his words.
"What are you talking about John you and know how much the Prince means to you, so do want to proceed with this Ideas and plans of your". Erix said gazing at Johnathan with lots of questions popping in his mind.
Erix, Lancelot and Johnathan were good friends before Johnathan ascended the throne, he offered the both of them to serve in the palace, promising them that their friendship was still going to be as it use to be. Erix chose his farming over Johnathan's offer, politely telling he can't leave what they are know of in his family, Johnathan understood without arguing over it, when Johnathan told them to still address him by his name and not with his title, only Erix did so why Lancelot said it would be an insult to him and the throne of a servant in the royal home referred to the king by his name. After several exchange of words Johnathan had no other choice than to agree with him.
"You actually gonna leave?"Geoffrey asked Agatha who has now fully recovered from her injury.
"You know I don't want to, but I have to go for my parents are gonna be so worried about me". she said with a sad face. Sophie looked at the two from behind knowing that is actually happening under her nose but don't know what.
"Have this two fallen in love?, but they shouldn't because they are siblings".
she said to herself not too sure of what to say or do to stop them.
"Are you ready to leave already?"
"Yes ma'am, thanks for the hospitality and care you have showed onto me for this past two days of my stay here, I really really appreciate it ma'am".
she said thankfully putting her palms together, being sincerely grateful.
"No my dear you shouldn't be doing this, you were no problem to us, not at all we are really pleased you had no issue staying with us, it was really a great honor having you in our home". Sophie stated with a smile on her face and putting down Agatha's hands which where still up.
"Mom, I will accompany her to the palace she needs to get going already".
Geoff said waiting for his mom's approval.
"Okay then, but please don't take too long dear because you gat other things to do".
She said though she doesn't want him to leave but can't refuse him either.
"Okay mom, I will be back in no due time".
as they both climbed the horse, and rode off. "Geoff" she called few minutes later after they have left.
"hmmm, what's the matter?"
answered and asked wanting to know if all was okay with her.
"Stop here". she said as Geoff pulled the horse to a stop.
"Why here Agie?, is everything alright with you?" he asked observing that they were in the forest route. Agie tied the horse to a tree and draged into the forest.
"C'mon Agie say something, where are we going?, you said you wanted to go back home then what's so special about the forest that you chose over your home?"
Geoffrey asked confused not understanding a thing that was going on.
"here". she said stopping at a spot in the forest and turned back to look at Geoffrey smiling from ear to ear.
"What do you mean by here? and I can see nothing special here or anything at all that would make you come here". he stated drastically still confused on her behavior, but Agie didn't pay attention to him, she widened her arms and swung them In the air with her eyes closed. Geoffrey went close and held her still.
"Please stop this Agie you are scaring me with your actions, what are we doing here?". he asked looking her straight in the eyes, Agie touched his face lightly with a smile.
"This is the very first place we meet, the place you caught me in the air, the place I fell in love with those set of eyes of yours, the very first place and time I felt secured in the arms of a man other than my father and sir Lancelot our chief guard". she said looking into his eyes, smiling passionately, with her palm still placed on his face. Geoffrey froze and swallowed hard, not able to say a word.
"I don't want to leave without saying this words, normally it's meant for the man to take the first step but I can't wait for you to do so I have to tell you what I'm feeling before someone else takes you away from me". she said with a bit sad face. Geoffrey opened his mouth to speak but couldn't find a word to say so he shut them again without saying a word.
"I love you Geoffrey". she eventually said putting her head down and placing her hands down from his face when he didn't reply to it, she turned to leave but Geoffrey dragged her back bringing her close, so close that there's no gap between them.
"I love you too Agie, I began to feel this love right from the moment I caught you, you were right, I lied to you I really didn't meet you on the ground, I caught you in the air, neither my friend nor the villagers knows that I have magical powers, no one knows except for my mother and I, I love you Agie but our background and status are quite different and I don't know if I will be able to keep you happy or cause you..."
"I'm already happy with you, I only need you and nothing else, I equally have magical powers as well which doesn't make us quite different from each other but I promise to keep your secret between us". Agatha interrupted by placing her finger on his lips. Geoffrey removed her finger from his lips, he slowly held her jaw bringing it up as he slowly placed a kiss on her lips, he wanted to pull up, but Agatha held him back and deepened the kiss. They finally pulled up and gasped for air, they smiled looking at each other, they then walked to the horse and rode off.
"Just do as I say it will be the best for the children and for the kingdom, I trusted you with my son and you trusted me with your daughter this was why it was possible 18 years ago". Johnathan said wanting Erix to believe already, knowing he cares so much about him.
"But this is going to be hard on you John, the kingdom and the kids how will you do it alone?" Erix asked with concern in his eyes.
"Don't worry about it, like I said I will handle everything". Johnathan said wanting it to be the final solution.
"And what about the kids, how do you think they are going to act over such big secret?" he asked not sure of what to do or believe.
"What secret?, uncle Erix you?, what secret do you two have that you don't want me to know?" Agatha asked on entering the palace with a raised brow, her mood has quite changed on hearing their conversation.
"What part of the conversation did she hear? oh mine I never thought about this before making the decision". Johnathan thought looking quite worried and anxious, because he have never seen Agatha in such mood before.
