Wait the king wants to meet me! "Yes, Zeus, and soon," Aunt Beth says
As I'm changing my sister steps out wait who is she talking to, a man? Huh, wait wait wait, she is doing what I think. quickly change and teleport behind them. I ooze out a little killing intent as I do so he reacts to me by swinging his sword way over my head. he then says, "Caroline I will not let harm come to thee!" talk about hair trigger. what now What kind of cringe I burst out laughing as I'm chuckling Caroline rolls over and gives me a flick to the forehead you need to chill little bro, not everyone who approaches is a threat. You did this when he came in before when you were unconscious you let out killing intent. I'm not in danger. I'm safe with him or at least I feel so s s so. she says as she realizes what she just said. She looks flustered. does she like him, She Better get to know him.
as I'm thinking this, he approaches "Is this the little brother? I've seen you while you were unconcise comforting your sister. She was quite distraught when saw you like that for weeks." btw sis how long was I out? And who are you? I finally ask though it came out a little hostile. "My name is Gregory Donald I'm engaged to your sister." Caroline speaks up Hey, don't I want to give him time before I tell him." she says with a massive blush. whaaaaaaaa! is my reaction. as I say that my aunt bounds the corner young man Are you ready The king awaits as she grabs me and drags me off, I yell We will talk more!
as I'm being dragged, we approach a normal door. well, normal for a big ass castle anyway. As she approaches the door, she tells me this is informal. so, don't worry too much about etiquette. As the door is opened, I notice my dad mom and of course the king. they are chatting happily. my mom seems to be doing better. Both physically and mentally. As we step in my mother rushes me. "You idiot! You could have been killed." As she goes to slap me, I disserve this, but it doesn't come. "Thank you, Zeus," she says in between sobs. She hugs me tightly. I return the hug, are these tears? why is my face wet? As I start sobbing at my age. I'm so sorry Mom but I would do it again if I had to. "hoo! hooo! bold words" the king chimes in my dad scratching my cheek. anyway, about five minutes later we all sit down. As soon as we do the king speaks. "Zeus thank you!" and bows his head which puts the whole rum in a panic including me. raise your head please I'm only four!
he raises his head and continues. "The duke's house has been dismantled due to well the investigation following the incident. the duke was involved in some Shaddy shit. including drugs and trafficking. but enough of that due to your effort to save your sister. we managed to prune the dark side of the empire. As for what's next. is simply your reward. well, rewards." He says with a wink and a clap that a girl walks in long ears no way, she is an elf! I voice this Are you an elf? She attacks me. without warning as soon as I utter the word elf. I swiftly dodge the dagger aimed at my jugular. as I doge I grab her wrist and manage to put her in an arm bar. She finally speaks "I approve." The king finally speaks up too "Good then it settled." Wait, what's settled? I shout maybe a little too loud.
my mom finally speaks up you will be engaged to her and eventually married. Whaaaaaaaat I manage to squeak out. "Can you let me go please?" Sorry, I was a little stunned. My name is Emily Leaf, Wait Leaf. that last name sounds familiar. Leaf, Leaf the king speaks up as if realizing I don't know anything. "They are our major allies to the east. The Leaf kingdom, this is their princess Emilly Leaf." Wait what. Anyway, the king says as if it's a done deal. And the topic changes to a more serious one "The ceremony will be the same day as your baptism, but I'll tell you anyway.
You are to be appointed half of the land confiscated from the duke and be given the provisionary title of count. to be elevated when you come of age to be elevated to a viscount. depending on his actions before said time. Will you be the people's sword and shield?" Wait, what? I manage to say. Why elevate me so quickly? if I may be so bold to ask. "It's simple Really. I need strong people for war is coming in a few years. and I have high hopes for you. That and you are engaged to a princess. So, yah!" As he finishes waiting, I haven't agreed to the marriage as I say this Emilly pipes up "Am I not good enough." I manage to stutter no that's not it. "Then it is settled." the king states. my mom seems to be stifling a laugh. wait how long was I out? sis never told me "Two weeks." my mom says between giggles. oh, okay wait Two weeks!
