The King’s Obsession
Author
I have changed pictures of some of my characters. Please tell me how is, is it good or was the previous one better?
Sir Gareth Lyon: A knight loyal to the royal family, known for his strict sense of duty.
[Scene: Celestia’s Chambers – Late Night. The moonlight casts silver shadows across the room. Celestia, still in her sapphire gown, sits by the window, lost in thought.]
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): Lucien is testing me. But why? He should have lost interest by now.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Sighs, rubbing her temples] I need to be careful.
Anise(Maid)
[Anise peeks in, looking nervous.]
Anise(Maid)
M-My Lady… there’s a knight outside. Sir Gareth. He says His Majesty sent him.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): At this hour?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Calmly] Let him in.
[Scene: Celestia’s Chambers – Sir Gareth enters, his armor gleaming under the candlelight.]
Sir Gareth Lykon(Royal Knight)
[Bowing slightly] Lady Celestia, His Majesty requests your presence.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Arching a brow] At this hour?
Sir Gareth Lykon(Royal Knight)
[Firmly] His Majesty does not like to be kept waiting.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): Of course not.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Sighing lightly] Very well.
[Scene Change: The King’s Study]
[Lucien sits behind his desk, dressed in a loose white shirt, the top buttons undone. A single candle flickers beside him, casting sharp shadows across his face.]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirking as Celestia enters] You came.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Coolly] Did I have a choice.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Chuckles] No.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): At least he’s honest about it.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Crossing her arms] Why summon me in the middle of the night, Your Majesty?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Tilting his head] I was curious.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Flatly] About?
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
You
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): Why does that sound more dangerous than an execution order?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Lightly] What a strange thing for a king to be curious about.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Leaning forward] You were a fool before. Now… you’re something else.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
*People change.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Amused] Or they reveal their true selves.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Smiling slightly] Which do you think it is?
[A heavy silence fills the room.]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Softly, eyes darkening] That’s what I intend to find out.
[Lucien stands, walking toward her slowly. Celestia holds her ground.]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
*Tell me, Celestia… are you afraid of me?
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): I should be. But…
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
*No.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirks, eyes glinting] Liar.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Softly] If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be standing here.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
(thoughts): Interesting.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Tilting her chin up with a finger] Careful, little niece. You’re walking a dangerous path.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Smirking] So are you, Your Majesty.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Laughs lowly] Oh, I know.
[Lucien drops his hand, stepping back.]
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
*Go back to your chambers.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
[Mockingly] How generous.
King Lucian Vaelmolt (Ml)
[Smirks] For now.
Celestia Vaelmolt (FL)
(thoughts): What game are you playing, Lucien?
[As she leaves, she can feel his eyes burning into her back.]
