A L E X
It was a busy day at the castle and after attending meetings all morning, all I wanted to do was visit Lillith. As I walk out of the council room, I decide to stop and get something to eat. The war with Elgar will strain our supplies. But we have more people in our armies. I'm hoping it will be enough.
"Alex!", a familiar voice from behind me shouts.
I turn around to see Maxon. Maxon actually came from another kingdom. He gave up his throne to join ours since he didn't agree with the ideals in his kingdom. We were best friends since we were growing up, and suddenly, on the day before his coronation, he forfeit his throne. Since our kingdom controls the smaller kingdoms, we let this pass. Now he works as my second in command. Which is why I let him do all the talking when Lillith came to our camp. Lillith. I wonder what she is doing now. I still can't get her out of my mind. Her twinkling blue eyes-
"Are you doing alright? Why do you have that stupid grin on your face", he asked me.
Only then do I realize I'm smiling. I quickly settle back into my frown.
"There's the Alex we know." He says smirking.
I sighed. "What did you need Max?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"It's time for Lillith's first session with the elite, we needed to be there-"
"2 minutes ago, I know" I cut him off as we walk to the armory room.
"Ohh looks like someone's been keeping count!" Max said, wearing a knowing grin his face.
"Shut up Max, It's not like that. I'm engaged." I said while we walked to the training room.
"So call it off, I've never seen you smile or laugh this much since-" He stopped, realizing what he said.
"Max. Stop" I warn, already turning cold. We reached the room, and I pushed the doors open.
