The Legendary Forest

Chapter 17 Rewrite

He frets trying to come up with an excuse because what Esperon in the right mind would want to go there?

Niderudion knowing this smiled, "Mother, Nakosir would love to go." The prince grins at his knight.  Nakosir looked at him with widen eyes and glared at him.

"We will leave tomorrow.  I'll see you then." The queen nodded her head and walked back to her quarters.

As soon as she was out of site Nakosir looked at the prince with a frown, "Why did you tell her that I wanted to go?!" He exclaimed.

Niderudion played dumb and looked at him, "What?  Oh... You mean going?  I thought you wanted to.  You had this expression that looked like you were saying 'oh please I just can't wait to go.'  It would be good for you anyways,"  The prince grins at his knight.

"Oh moons, you knew I hate that!" Nakosir sulked, "Anyone would.  Besides when I found out that Her Majesty was having a vacation for the three of you then I was thinking about taking some time off to spend some time with my two sisters."

"Oh no." Niderudion shook his head, "You are definitely coming, I'd hate for them to suffer.  Plus your pain is more enjoyable.  If I have to then so do you." The prince grinned smugly and then let out a long sigh.

The prince walked over by a window and looked out as his kingdom.  Everything here was his to own, to take, or to enjoy.  He'd had the power to do whatever he wished.

The worst part of everything is that he wouldn't be able to see his princess during his stay at that kingdom.  Lately whenever he has been separated from her, he felt restless and anxious.  Maybe he could ask her to come too?  The prince shook his head, no he couldn't do that.  She might get hurt or sick by coming.

Suddenly the prince's eyes lit up, he should tell his princess what was going on.  He looked behind him and saw Nakosir and his sister talking.

"I'm glad you are coming too, Naki." Niderudion suddenly turned to hear his sister say that to him.  Maybe he should warn her about him, but then again he knew Novalie could handle herself.  She is strong like that.

"Novalie?" He walked over and asked a bit irritated.

"Is there something wrong, Nideru?" She asked him with her hands together.

"If people see you being too friendly with him it could cause a scandal." The prince laughed dryly, "We don't actually know him outside of his oath to protect and fight for us."

"Scandal?  How?" The princess looked confused.  "Naki been with us for years."
