Indeed, Ash looked like royalty.
He dressed fancy, he knew how to fix himself, prepare himself to be
decent and present himself until the time came. Until that day,
he could finally be able to meet the love of his life.
That time, however, wasn’t now. There were many further matters
to attend to, slightly more important than her. He had taken his break,
he was resting up for the time being and had not noticed a stranger approach.
Hands on his horse, patting him softly and a smile to his face,
his horse munching on his food while he rested. Turning around once
someone spoke to him, a soft chuckle emitted from him. The female
just couldn’t ever be so wrong.
“Afraid I’m not, m’lady.
However, I must formally say that I, am the
Foreign Minister of Maryam.”
Even though the country was lost to the enemy,
he was always willing to help others out. He wanted to find her,
he wasn’t going to give up.
as she heard these words her heartstrings were pulled a bit. not royalty? to her, that was nearly like a knife to the heart. a Minister had no connection to the Military of a country. they merely preached & gave warmth to those that needed it so.
not to say she was disappointed but rather,
saddened that he may not be of help like
hands, coated in scars, tightened on the reins of her horse. yet, she raised her head & looked upon him again. perhaps, it was different in other countries? perhaps, in others the Ministers had say in war & the Military.
hope floating it’s way back into her heart, she guided her horse closer to him. eyes that seemed touched by moonlight that left a glow in them creating a navy blue shined with determination towards him. parting thin lips the former Queen spoke with courage.
“hear me, Minister of Maryam, i am the fallen queen of Blume. I am known as Roya.. my country was taken from my hands by a man known as Cvet. he overthrew the neighboring countries as well. Elysium & Kukka. Elysium was burnt to the ground, people & all. Kukka’s men, women & children were forced into his army! i have no idea what has occurred to my Kingdom... so i beg of you━”
pausing mid-sentence Roya shifted off of her horse & bowed before him. streams of ebony collapsed like a waterfall over her shoulders. eyes touched by moonlight like the rivers were hidden away as she closed them.
“━if you help me reclaim what was once mine I shall help you with anything you are of need for! be it women, slaves, higher positions, my Kingdom to surrender to your’s... ask & you shall receive.”
her pride, injured & broken, she finished what she wanted to say. Roya disliked asking for help, she (HATED) to appear weak before any being but, she had not a choice. there was no way for her to reclaim her Kingdom all on her own.
“please... if it is possible.”
