Fourty-Nine

I didn't make it to my room before bumping into the king, who had apparently been informed of my discharge from the Infirmary.

"Rose!" I turned slowly to face him as he rapidly caught up to me and looked up at him. I was small for my age, albeit I am very young too, but I hate looking up at people when they talk, it hurts my neck.

"Hello your Majesty." I reply and he seems frustrated, irritated and excited at the same time. I really worry for this King, hopefully Arthur ends up better. I don't think this Kingdom can handle TWO of them, just the thought makes me shudder.

"Why won't you call me Godfather?" He whined and before I could react he had grabbed me and I was up in his arms. He carried me along as he headed down the hall and I sighed heavily, knowing I couldn't escape.

"Honestly, and Cassandra wouldn't even let us see you! Even though I am the king she kept you in that Infirmary! Even your mother isn't that bad, but nooo we weren't allowed to even see you, not even leave a present from you. I had a subordinate injury himself and check the Infirmary to make sure you were still alive, but your bed was surrounded by curtains and he couldn't verify! We all thought you were dead and she didn't want to say anything, or that you were in a coma, or or..." He rambled aimlessly and I had to giggle at his mildly irritated and amusing expression. He was like a child in a grown mans body.

"Where are we going Your Maj-" He sent me a look and I frowned but corrected myself since we were alone, "God-father?" A wide lopsided grin took over his face and he almost started to skip down the hall.

"We're going to a playroom where my wife and sons are~ Oh and Lance is there too! Everyone's been worried about you save your mother, but she got to visit you! The nerve!" He seemed to become angry again and I had to laugh. My mom had visited me and after she assured that I was okay she went to tell her fiance the news. I honestly wondered if the man cared but as long as she was happy right? After all he'll have to get used to it anyways right~
