The beginning of te inevitable.

Thinking back I must have been stupid atleast to even have such shouts of him but see him now reminds about it all over again. I never thought meeting him again would bring back such passion from 10yrs ago. Meeting in the cathedral during my awarding ceremony for being the best hunter really got me caught up in the moment. His approach was different from how it used to be, it was colder but polite in a more professional way. Him being the new emperor of Elvis Kingdom made him even more different. I was only but a simple witch of the kingdom who served at the side of the King of our nation Klivan a rival to his empire. He walked towards me with a single swift motion as closened the distance between us but still kept a meter radius. His voiced was both cold but polite but in away taunting "My it's been a while hasn't it Lanchester" he spoke as I bowed before speakin, " Your grace it's has been quite some time" His eyes narrowed for a split second before taking a sip of his drink as if think of what to say but before he could speak he was summoned by his guards. I could only bow as he dismissed himself my heart racing. I left to the garden afterwards to clear my head and think before u could collapse infront of everyone. Soft foot steps approached me as I was engrossed with the beauty of the lake before me. Looking back it was the King Lord Axel the one I currently served. He looked as breath taking as ever with his black hair sleeved back and well polished royal wear. His as wear as terrifying and soul search as ever with their deep hazel colour. He stood beside in silence like he was thinking about something making the tension heavy. We in silence for a while before he finally broke it, " You seem quiet today?" I froze then nervously bowed before giving a shaky reply, "So...rry...just a bit tired..." I looked away avoid his gaze. He inched closer his face a bit too close to mine as he spoke again, " Why the stutter? Are not feeling well?" I flinched before stepping back, " Apologise your highness just fatigued...nothing more. Um...you look quite tired yourself your highness." I spoke desperately trying to be composed. He straightened up face unreadable then answered, "Do I?" The question hang in the air for a while neither of us speaking. I noticed he neck a few glances at me as if trying to de ifer a crying child. I looked away slightly flushed. He looked forward and a shift in tone said, " How do you know the Emperor of Elvis?" I froze stunned he notice , then nervously scrambled for an answer before I could be beheaded and sent went away for interacting with an enemy nation's Emperor. I nervously spoke up but instead he patted my head. My whole went completely still only to regain consciousness when he spoke tone softer, " You rest now Sir Flin. You have done well for the past few days so rest" A small smile escaped my as I nodded then excused myself to the room I was assigned in the palace.
