Diary Entries of a Queen
24.4.24
The sounds of the birds chirping above in the trees that make a wall around the garden. "Guess what he said after I told him no?'' All the ladies of the palace moved closer to Wiki the royal Witch as she continued his story of heartache. " He said he would die without me and sobbed. I didn't think my love spell would work that well ahaha." All the girls applauded with amusement "God! Give me one of those, love." replied Princess Lunetta . "You don’t need one, you already have someone wrapped up your little pinky." said my royal adviser Reva and she winked at the rest. They all giggled. I smiled and drowned my thoughts with their conversation. "My Queen." I turned my head and found Sir Richard bowing in front of me. "Yes Sir? Is everything alright?'' "Um not exactly..His majesty returned and he isn't happy.." oh boy.. "Is he ever happy?" says Princess Betsy from behind. " Shh dear, you know things are hard around here." whispers Princess Teema. "Okay, I will be right there. Thank you." I say as he bows and takes his leave. I turn to face the girls."Ladies..I am so sorry I have to cut this short." "Its okay deary, we know things are quite tough right now," says Teema as she gives me a quick hug. "Ya its totally okay", says Lunetta as the rest nod. " Are we still up for tonight though?" says Princess Helen slowly. "You bet." I say with a smile. They all bow and I curtsy and wave them goodbye. I get on the horse and ride with Sir Richard up to the palace. "So um I’m guessing they weren't coming to a compromise?" I ask him. "Yes my Queen. Or that’s what I think he was saying.." We arrive at the palace gates and quickly walk up to the throne room. "GOD MATHEW! CAN YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT OTHER THAN SING!" My hands freeze as I reached out to open the gates of the room. I turn to Richard and say, "I think you should wait out here." He nods relieved, "Thank you my Queen." I hold back a laugh..God he knows how to scare the hell out of the whole palace. I push open the door and everyone quiets down. I walk up, striding confidently to the throne platform. As I pass, all the men get on their knees but my eyes are focused on the scene in front of me. Mathew on his knees with the king's sword hanging in the air inches away from his neck "AHEM! I thought chopping heads was my job?" He turns his head in my direction. "Queen.." Mathew mumbles I look at Mathew and motion him to get up. He scrambles to his feet, bows and leaves. His majesty puts his sword back and turns to me with a sarcastic smile. "And the Queen arrives after strolling around like everything in this place is fine. WE ARE AT WAR! How can you do nothing about it?" I calmly walk up to him and take a seat on my throne. " Just like you cant, neither can we. Take a seat, you are making a fool out of yourself." The men shuffle out of the throne room. I look at them apologetically. He slumps into his seat and rubs his forehead with frustration. " We are doomed aren’t we?" "We might be but we can find a way to get out here before anything bad happens." "Oh ya run like cowards, great!" "No." I look at him annoyed. "Its called saving everyone's lives because we rule a Queendom full of people." "Kingdom." "Queendom" "Kingdom.Period." "QUEENdom" We glare at each other. "There is a firework show tonight and u are coming." I say as I get up. "WHAT FOR?? FOR US LOOSING THE KINGDOM?" I turn around. "No." I look at him pointedly, "For your birthday genius. U know that comes before right?" "I don’t wanna.." "Be quiet and come. Or I will drag you out of your room with your ear and that would definitely feed your manly image. Oh and work on an apology for today. Especially for Mathew..I cant believe you were gonna behead him" I say as I shake my head. "Alright Alright I get it." "I am leaving then Your Majesty." I bow and stride out of the throne room. Sir Richard looks at me expectantly when I walk out of the doors. I give him a thumbs up and he smiles. Well at least one thing is taken care of...now for the hard part... what should I wear tonight?
