Chapter 207 - Two Things to do First (2/2)
”Well, your mother is still the same. Nothing seems to have changed.” William looked at me curiously. ”Why do you ask?”
I looked around and sat up. I gestured William to come closer for me to whisper to him.
”I successfully brought her back.” I whispered. ”But I want to be sure and can confirm it. I still have to wait until I am able to see her.”
”Really, that's great.” William said softly. ”Then we can escape here with your mother.” I nodded in agreement.
”But I have two things to do first.” I said. ”First, I need to start an internal strife within the kingdom. I want the people to see their queen's true color. Judging by the weather here in Jennovia, I have a feeling that this winter that lasted over twenty years is because of magic.”
The last time I was able to control the weather with my magic, I thought that maybe this long winter was the doing of the queen herself.
”I need the help of high standing noble officials that has concern for the people of Jennovia.” I said.
”Hmm… maybe princess Satiana can help?” William said while holding his chin in thought. ”As a princess, I am sure she has acquaintance with the nobles.” I nodded in agreement.
”Second is that I need to find a necklace that the queen owns.” I said. ”It is similar to my mother's. It is the most important thing we need to do. We cannot leave here without it.”
William looked at me seriously. ”That will surely be difficult. You may freely roam the palace's interior but for sure there will be some areas that are off limits.”
I understood what William meant. I am sure that the queen will surely safeguard such a precious thing.
”Then I need to win the queen's trust.” I said with conviction.
”Then you need to be careful.” William said and I nodded in agreement. He patted my head and helped me down in bed and tucked me under the blankets. ”Have some rest so you can get well faster.”
”Thank you Will, for being here with me.” I said with a smile. ”Umm… why did you enter by the way? It's lucky that Martha isn't around.” It was still not proper for a knight like William to be here inside my room late at night.
”I heard you were having a nightmare so I entered abruptly. I'm sorry.” William bowed his head and apologized. ”Martha just came a while ago to change your clothes so she won't be here until later. And I have Jack standing guard outside.”
”I see. Umm… Will.” I said. I really don't want to impose on William's kindness but I am still scared sleeping alone in the dark when I am sick.
”Yes princess?” William asked.
”C-Can you stay here until I have fallen asleep?” I asked shyly. ”I… I am afraid to be left alone in the dark when I am sick.”
William smiled warmly. ”Then I will sit here until you have fallen asleep.” He took a seat on the couch near the fire place.
”Thank you.” I replied kindly. I can feel my eye lids heavy once more and I have fallen asleep soundly.
