Chapter Thirteen

Me and Willow played alone in the Garden when I found her later. We played until we had to go back to the castle because the court meeting should be over and meet Mr. Ravenwell at the door exiting the castle.

"Dadddyyyy!" Willow ran screaming into his arms and both he and I laughed at the same moment.

"Hello there Rose, you really don't let up do you? I thought those guys would die of anger. Or that you would simply kill them after I heard of your magic." He gave me a wry smile and I laughed at him. I had hidden who I was afterall~

After parting with Willow I started to head back out to the Library when someone called for me.

"Rose! Do you have some time?" It was the King. I swear he better not be shoving something troublesome onto my lap.

"Yes, your Majesty." I curtsied low and then leaned my head upwards gently. Each movement fluid, each careful and precise.

"Was it necessary to infuriate them so much?" I smiled wryly at him before responding.

"They should have been nicer, and not so rude then. You know me well enough to know I wasn't going to take that sitting down." I smiled radiantly and he laughed.

"Well, try not to cause so much trouble next time please." I laughed easily at that one. There will be no next time, I have no inclination to entertain those pigs again. Nor will I ever be polite to those who insult me the moment I walk through a door. Sorry king you are wasting you breath.

"So that's not an order right?" I grin cheekily at him, I knew I would get punished if I did this, but I planned on using the excuse 'He let nobles bully me! How could I ever follow that order if he would let it happen again? Bohoohoo! And most of all they insulted mom and said I was inbred! How can people be that rude and mean! Besides how could I be? And he just sat and watched!' On his wife. Hehehehe. She would kill him if I did that. S-shut up! I am not evil! I am not! It's important so I said it twice so dont forget!

"Would you follow an order?"

"No." And he sighed and shook his head before turning heel and walking away. He just gave up like that? Shouldn't he have executed me or punished me for being rude? Well, I'm not going to complain~
