flashback; the once and future king

@celestinexnbm

Matteo had been crying nonstop for the past week. He wanted his mom. He wanted his dad. He wanted his blanket and for his little sister to come and annoy him. He didn’t want to be in this castle. He kept trying to run away, but the guards always managed to pick him up with ease, taking him back to his room with little concern.

They kept saying this was his home, but it wasn’t. His home was in the woods. His home was in a cottage. His home was not here, with its cold halls and frosty stares. His “brothers” had thrown more than one temper tantrum. Matteo hadn’t understood why, until the words “crown prince” were mentioned. Matteo had gone into a state of shock.

As it was, tomorrow would be his coronation as the crown prince. Matteo wasn’t one for fits, but he was an easy crier. After all his attempts at escape, the king had apparently found an acceptable babysitter to make sure that he would be there the next morning.

“I would think the Good Witch would have better things to do than look after me,” he muttered. “I don’t even want to be king.”

flashback; a good witch and a bad bitch

@celestinexnbm

Minsoo had never been a big fan of the isekai genre. It always seemed to follow the same lines and tropes. The leading men were often insufferable and she often found herself with a serious case of second lead syndrome. The leading women were often too dense for their own good. It made her wonder if the authors had ever even spoken to a woman before.

However, now that Minsoo was in the same situation, she realized she had been harsh on those girls. She had woken up disoriented and had still not found her footing. Every moment threw her off balance.

Cecilia had led a life before her. She had hopes and dreams. Friends, sorta. People knew her habits and had expectations of her. Now, they had Minsoo. Though Minsoo had always sympathized with Cecilia, the character was a secondary villain at best. Little was mentioned about her, so, even if Minsoo remembered the entire book, she wouldn’t have much more to go on.

Because of Cecilia’s previous behavior, everyone was wary of Minsoo. They seemed to think the illness had caused brain damage. Some thought the amnesia was something she was just doing for attention. Minsoo didn’t understand who would so such a thing. Still, she had a feeling she needed to start “remembering” things soon.

Of course, there was a bigger issue at the moment. Cecilia was a powerful witch, even if she never lived up to Feya or Celestine’s abilities. But, Minsoo had exactly none of her training. So, after nearly setting their library on fire again she had asked the Good Witch to begin her training again. Now, she just had to apologize for nearly burning her hair off. “I’m sorry. I swear, I’ll get the hang of this.” She thought for a moment. “Maybe I should try to light something smaller. Like the candle instead.”

Send 🧹for our muses to cause a mess they must fix/clean up.

Minsoo stared at the remnants of the king's prized vase in horror. She saw both her lives flash before her eyes. Oh no. No, no, no. She was going to be beheaded. Minsoo wondered if it would hurt. Would she get a third life? Did they provide last rites? Had all the accidental fires been enough to get her sent to hell?

Minsoo took a deep breath before she could hyperventilate. Maybe she and Celestine should have spared literally anywhere else in the castle. However, the throne room was so spacious, and the king made them wait so long for an audience, they got bored. Minsoo didn't mind. She wasn't good at being idle. Now, she wished she had just brought a book.

She wished Feya was there. The female lead always managed to get out of everything with her charm. Minsoo couldn't charm anyone.

"Do you think the king will accept that it was an accident?" Maybe they could run into the Middlemist Forest and begin new lives. Maybe the Darien Vale needed a library.
