Chapter Twenty-Six
When I next awoke I came face to face with the king.
"Your Majesty, we're you watching me sleep?" I stared up at him as he looks down on me with the expression of a child on Christmas day. Why, oh why was this king so childish. Well, I suppose I will ignore it, not much I can say on it since I myself was currently a child... S-shut up! I am not depressed or anything at my age!
"This was the first chance I got to see you~" His voice hardly contained his excitement.
"How's the case going?" I tilt my head as I ask and his expression momentarily darkens, but almost instantly was back to the boyish expression.
"Not talking about that right now~ Rosie let's play~" He almost instantly picked me up and dashed out of the Infirmary. Luckily I wasn't in my pajamas, I was in a pretty white dress I had put on this morning in case my mom finally let me leave the Infirmary. Well, I got to leave alright, I just hope I won't get in trouble for it...

I sat in the king's lap right after being mercilessly tickled and obediently sat in his lap and allowed him to pet me.
"Rose is so cute~ I can't wait for my wife to give me a daughter! Oh Rose, won't you be there godmother? You would be such a cute godmother!" He snuggled me as he said so and I had to resist the urge to crush his dreams brutally by saying no.
"Aren't I too young?" I look up at him and his smile was radiant. Ahhh, he really does act like a kid...
"Nope, so that means if we have a girl you'll be her godmother!" He said it as if it were a fact and began to snuggle me. Suddenly the king was hit by a pillow.
"So, your Majesty was the one to kidnap Rose..." My mother had appeared, and I felt the room darkness drastically from her presence. Ekkk, this is why I was too scared to leave on my own!!! Ekkk!!
"Ahhh, N-Now Al-Al-t-trea l-lets t-talk about this..." He had gently set me on the coach he had been sitting on with me in his lap, and I watched him being chased and beaten by mom for a good long while before I had to return to the infirmary.
