Dear life
its all
gone wrong...
Life is a series of lessons
I just dont know what this one is trying to teach me
When the villagers saw the the young queen step up to the alter with their king, they knew that she wouldn't last long. His reputation was known as to be mean, hot tempered, and evil. But the young Queen saw more. Every day after their marriage, the servants in the castle would constantly be by her side when the king was around, for fear of him hurting her. They didn't want to take the risk of hurting such a bright warming light. The king saw this and became angry.
'She is MINE!!! And only mine! She is my queen and i will do with her what i please!' And with that statement said, he locked her up in his part of the castle. Every day he would bring her enough food to survive till the next day and would bring her what ever she asked for. The young queen never talked back, never questioned him, and always answered her door with a smile on her face. This confused the king because no one had ever smiled at him. But just like a chime on a clock, she would be ready to receive him everyday with a smile on her face. It wasnt that the Queen was naive of stupid. She was actually renowned throughout the kingdom for her intellegence and her insight. And what she saw inside the king could never be explained to a human that wouldnt give him a chance. She knew there was good inside this 'evil' king that no one else could see but her. She was kind and courtious. Always being the proper wife. But a day came when there was a gathering to see the king. It was a weekly routine. Farmers coming to report to the king about their harvest, traders trying to sell their goods to the king and his court before going to market. But this day was unlike any other day. Sitting on the throne, high above the villagers he looked over and saw his queen was sitting in the throne next to him and smiled. The villagers were startled. Never had they seen the King smile. Not even a grin. Soon it was the talk in all the town that the queen had not only survived, but had broken the king of his habits. This gave the villagers courage. The next time a meeting was held, they were going to bring up his past grievences he did to the town.
That plan of action obviously didnt go so well, About half way through the meeting a young farmers burst up from the crowd and accussed the King of being hot headed and not right to rule. The King quickly sprang from his thrown, heading for the young farmer. Rearing back his fist to beat the farmer into submission he heard a voice.
"My King" she said. The whole room turned and looked at the white queen. She had stood up from her thrown and walked to the edge of the platform. Her hands were daintly crossed infront of her and her eyes held a conviction that no one else could have over the King. One look, thats all it took. The King let the farmer go and proceeded back to the Queens side. Her smile had broken him. And her heart had set him free. Trouble was, where does he go from here.
