Chapter Thirty Six - "In Which it Continues."
Chapter Thirty Six – “In Which it Continues.”
Because the people have spoken! (Or rather, because Sidja said so.) It's been a while since I've actually written, as I've been editing these past few years. Thus, updates will obviously be slower. Probably. I hope I can maintain the quality the Queen has grown so accustomed to demanding of me. Is this it a good idea to add to something that had such a nice, dramatic ending? I don't know. However, I do know you only live four or five times, and I've already used up three.Chapter Thirty Six – “In Which it Continues.”
The Queen felt the girl tense slightly, then become dead weight in Her arms and She rushed to gain better hold of her before she fell to the floor. She panicked a moment, fearful Her curse had only waited for the words to be uttered before it took effect, but She waved it off and gently lay the girl on the ground.
“So much in one day... Poor thing, I wonder if you’ll remember any of this when you wake.” She was tempted to remain in the vault and sleep with her, safe from the tempest that was no doubt was forming outside, but Her girl deserved a better place to recover then amongst the cold stones She had once considered treasure. “I have to face it eventually.” The Queen muttered grimly. ‘But not alone.’ The thought caught Her off guard and She rubbed Her head. It was growing to be too much for Her as well. “Phi, wake up just a bit. I hate to do this to you, but I can’t carry you through the doors. Come on, up you go.” Phi opened her eyes slightly. “Where….what….?” “We’re going out now. I’ll have a guard carry you the rest of the way but I need you to walk out the doors.” The Queen half dragged the girl through the first set, then paused to compose Herself as much She could. “Here we go.” She pushed the heavy doors ahead and was relieved when one of the guards on the other side saw Her intention and opened them the rest of the way. “Ah, thank you so very much. The little one has been thoroughly spent.” The Queen was about to pick the girl up when She caught Herself. ‘No. Not in public.’ She was about to hand the girl over to the other guard when a spark of possessiveness flared upon realizing the guard was female. The Queen watched, puzzled, as unfamiliar thoughts raced along the bottom of Her mind. ‘Would she find this woman attractive? More attractive than I? She’s not as tall as I am. Certainly I am better. Surely she wouldn’t leave me for this woman.’ ‘This is ridiculous.’ She thought and handed the girl over. “Carry her for Me.” “Yes, Your Majesty.” ‘Of course you will, because I am the Queen and I am better than you. I am the best,’ announced the little goblins in Her head and the Queen sighed inwardly. ‘I’m jealous of you, Phi, already asleep and away from this.’ There were seemingly miles of corridor to get through before She could rest and they were filled with throngs of the curious. Word had spread rapidly through those who had witnessed Averring’s downfall, and now the palace buzzed with conjecture over the surrounding circumstance, the most outlandish being sadly the closest to the truth. The Queen looked over their heads as She tried to cut through them but She was forced to stop where the crowds were thickest. “I am aware many of you have questions and I will call council tonight to discuss the matter, but at the moment My little hero needs her rest.” The Queen repeated until She pulled in a few more guards to do so for Her. Frustrating as it was, it warmed Her to find how many of them simply wanted to know of Her girl’s well being. At last She made it to the carved doors and let the guard with Phi through to the bedroom. “Thank you kindly.” She said as Her girl was laid gently on Her bed. “You’re welcome, Your Majesty.” The guard replied and turned to leave, then paused. “Permission to speak freely, Your Majesty?” The Queen looked at her, weary but curious. “Do so with care.” The guard glanced off to the side. “Did he hurt her how they’re saying he did?” The Queen was quiet as She considered Her answer. “What of it?” “Do You have any standards as to his treatment in the dungeon?” The two women shared a moment of unspoken solidarity. “See that he stays alive.” She said at last. “Yes, Your Majesty. Thank You, Your Majesty.” And with that the guard bowed and left.Short chapter is short. I have to ease back in.
