Author's Note: I think this chapter is a little shorter than other, sorry about that. Also if you feel like it, please leave ONE word prompts in your comments, I have a few more ideas of what to write but need a few more, if they spark something I’ll use them! As always sorry for the long wait,
Royals and Destiny | The Villager and Destiny | The Princess, The Villager and Destiny | Distance and Destiny
Rumour
I find I have to keep reminding myself why I am here. The last battle was the worst yet. You always imagine battles to be easy, clean, one opponent against another, the rules of war being adhered to. But so far I have seen little of any of those things. The fields we are fighting in are muddy and wet, at times your feet get stuck as you try to advance, the enemy comes at you from all directions at all times.
The only thing that makes me stay is the thought of Brittany. Not only my Queen but the woman I love. The Abrams’ family tried to kill her 5 years ago and have been making the time since then more and more difficult, but as a loyal subject and devoted lover, I must stay here and defend her honour and I will do that with my life if I have to, especially against the Abrams’.
I believe now, that after 3 months, we are finally winning this war. With the help of the border tribes and troops from the Berry kingdom we finally have the advantage.
Sam told me that there are rumours about King Abrams sending his son to the front to give his troops a morale boost. If this is true I doubt it will have much of an effect on us, their troops numbers are getting fewer and fewer, one more person, whether his in the Prince or not will make little difference to us.
Archer
It has been many years since the Royal Tournament that I competed against her and nearly two years since we last met up. But we have kept in contact over all of this time by letter. The letters have become a very important part of my life and I look forward to receiving one from her all the time.
This will be the first time I have seen her since we last met up. She is one of Queen Rachel’s most skilled archers and has been sent here to help fight. The Abrams’ seem to have caused the Berry Kingdom just as much trouble as ours.
When I see her she is as beautiful as I remember, as she enters the meeting tent her hair blows lightly in the wind, she is carrying her bow and has a quiver full of arrows on her back.
She looks quite angry until she sees me, then her face softens and she smiles, she has never looks more beautiful.
I am unable to talk to her for just over an hour, it was the first meeting between our troops and introductions had to be made. But when the meeting ended I made my way over to her.
“Hi” I said, not really knowing what to say
“Hello Sam, how are you?” she asked
“I am well, all the better for seeing you” I smiled
Outside the tent she looked around at all the people milling around “Do you know where I am staying? This camp is so big….”
“Yes, all of the Berry troops are over there” I pointed “come, I’ll show you” I was surprised by her mood, she seemed to be acting like we hardly knew each other, none the less I happily walked her to her tent.
When we entered the tent a lot of her equipment and belongings were already in there.
“Wow, this is quite a tent” I said seeing how big it was compared to my own
“Being the queen’s champion has its benefits” she said as she put her bow on the small table and took off her quiver and placed it next to her bow, she then moved and sat on her bed.
“Are you well? You seem a little….”
“I am sorry Sam, it has been a very long journey and I am tired” she said closing her eyes and rubbing the bridge of her nose.
I sat beside her and put my arm around her back, unexpectedly she leaned against me.
I plucked up the courage and said “Come, lay down with me and you can rest” I moved to lay down and she followed. We stayed like that until we both fell asleep.
Lunch
Santana stood facing the large wooden door. She looked down at herself to make sure she looked presentable, with her free hand she brushed the front of her waist jacket to get rid of some fluff that had stuck to it. As a trainee of the guard when she wasn’t training she had to wear her brown trousers, white shirt, leather waist coat and boots.
She ran her fingers through her hair “Okay” she said to herself “this is it”
She knocked on the wooden door and waited.
She didn’t have to wait long as Brittany quickly opened the door into one of the queen’s dining rooms. She had a huge grin on her face; it dropped slightly on seeing Santana
“You look so worried” she said “Don’t be, I think mother likes you already”
Santana just smiled, she was a little too nervous even with Brittany saying that, after all she had pointed a knife at the queen only yesterday.
Brittany took her hand and they walked into the room together. It had a long table in the middle of it that was laid out with their lunch.
As they walked to the table the queen got up to greet her. Santana stopped and bowed to the queen “your majesty” she said, then turned to Brittany’s younger sister who had joined them and bowed again “Princess”
“Hi” the princess said smiling.
Santana held out a small bunch of flowers and handed them to the young princess, then took another from the 3 she had and held them out for the queen and gave the last bunch to Brittany.
The young princess seemed more pleased than the others “oh, they’re beautiful” she practically screamed
“I picked them for you all this morning”
“That was very nice of you, Ms Lopez” the queen said smelling the flowers “Please, sit” she pointed to the end of the table
The queen sat at the head of the table and Santana and the young princess sat either side of her, Brittany sat next to Santana.
“Tell me how you met my daughter, Ms Lopez” the queen asked after a couple of minutes.
They had all taken some bread, cheese and fruits from the middle of the table.
“We first met when we were nine your majesty”
“Nine?”
“Yes, I first saw Brittany riding through the village with the king” Santana explained
The queen seemed a little confused and thought for a moment “Do you mean to say that you are the young girl who asked Brittany to play in the village all those years ago? If I remember correctly that happened the same day as the visited to the church with the king”
“Yes, majesty I am”
“And how did you come to be training as a guard?”
“After seeing you daughter, I decided I would join the guard so that I could see her again, I then trained every day with my friend Sam and then when we were old enough to join the training program we did”
“That would have been a seven year wait?”
“Yes, majesty”
The queen shook her head in disbelief “My daughter obviously made an impression on you?”
“And she made one on me, mother” Brittany said secretly placing her hand on Santana’s leg under the table
Horizon
When I entered the campaign tent, Santana was standing leaning against the table covered by a map of the surrounding area and troop movements.
“Santana?”
She looked up slowly “Yes”
“The rumours were true; Prince Arthur is at the head of the approaching troops”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’ve seen it with my own eyes; they are coming over the horizon”
“Fine, if they want to try this again we will crush them once and for all. Gather all the troops at the top of the hill; we are going to end this war today”
