The Marks that Define Them

Chapter 6:

After standing there for a while, Eloy walked out of the room in search for someone. Astraea. He wanted to be her someone. Now.

Astraea:

Astraea avoided eye contact as she walked toward the party since she had to serve the King and Queen. The opened door was a surprise to her since she knew they both were private people. She slipped in through the small crack to the silent room. She tried to move around to help assist people but no one would budge. There eyes were hooked on the stage where the Prince stood.

Eloy walked of stage and Astraea felt the need to follow him. He left the room with Astraea casually walking behind. Astraea nearly bumped into him as he stopped in the middle of a step. Turning around to confront her, Ely was nervous. Instead of talking to her he pulled her into a nearest room.

" I need you to trust me on this. I am going to try my hardest to protect you ."

"Every has said that and look where I am now." The anger in her voice was nearly masked with a sense to be obedient to him because of his title.

"I've saved you before, haven't I"

"I don't know who I can trust now," she persisted.

"Well now you have me." Astraea couldn't understand any of this. Is this a trick to hurt me created by his mother.

"Why are you doing this?" Astraea asked.

"My mother has been- is cruel and it's time for her to be stopped."

"So that's what I am. Another way to defy your mother."

"No, I do want to help you. Yes, I do want this to happen to defy my mother. But-but think of what we could do if we stop her plans." She stood there thinking, debating with herself over whether or not it would be wise to agree. If i agree I would put myself in danger. Who knows this could all be a scam. The Queen is trying to test my loyalty to her. On the other hand, she is doing bad-evil things. She needs to be stopped. Fast.

"Okay, I'm with you." Eloy's face lit up with her agreement. He needed to start planning something. He needed to know of his mother's plans. Counteracting her was the point of this. But at least he wasn't alone with it. I hope this succeeds, Astraea prayed. This is going to go great, Eloy confidently ensured.
