A Royal Courtly Fable – Part 8

This is the Queen”s True Story – Written as a Fantasy

Part eight

Well the Queen is now at her Brother’s Realm and trying to get herself back to normal.  The Queen is determined not to be depressed by earlier events and starts on the road to get there.

 After a time the Queen finds a new wizard and this wizard shows her that she can talk long distances to other realms.  The Queen is excited and gives it a try, matter of fact she spends hours with this new toy chatting with many people around the world.  The Queen also starts a new job in order to fund her new life.    This new job keeps her busy, but her boss is a tyrant. 

 After some time goes by the Queen started chatting with one Knight of a neighboring realm, he seems like a happy fellow.  He makes her laugh most every day. And this is just what the Queen thinks she needs: More Laugher in her Life.

 One day while she was at work this Laughing Knight surprised her by coming to visit her.  He tells her that he wants to show her his Realm.  Well at this point the Queen got worried a bit but the Laughing Knight told her she would be ever so safe.  So she went with him to his realm.

 While in the new realm the Queen was happy and laughed every day, so much that the Queen did not want to leave.  The Laughing Knight told her to stay and she did.  All seemed wonderful at the time, but little did the Queen know the Laughing Knight was Laughing on the outside but Evil on the inside.   She also did not realize that the wonderful feelings she was having would later go away because she also had not full dealt with her past.

 But for now the Queen was happy and full of laughter, so when the Laughing Knight asked for her hand she was willing to give it.  The date was set and the family and friends told and invited to the gala event.  And what a gala event it was, as the event was held in the new castle and it was filled to the brim with everyone around.   

 For many years the Queen was happy and content, then slowly little things happened that showed her that the Laughing Knight was not as he seemed.  Over time she would find maidens in her castle and the Laughing Knight flirting away with them.  The Queen tried so very hard to dismiss these things as nothing and go on with her life.

 One day the Queen became very sick, and the Laughing Knight took her to see many wizards to find out what the trouble was.  The common Wizards could not help the Queen, and one even said she was crazy in the head.  This was all proved wrong by one great Wizard that soon cured the Queen.  But during this time of sickness the Laughing Knight showed his very evil side.   The Laughing Knight brought in an Evil Witch into their life.  This Evil Witch’s only goal was the demise of the Queen.  She did many horrible things to the Queen, which included trying to get the Common Wizards to commit the Queen into an insane realm.   The Queen was even sure the Evil Witch had tried to poison the Queen.  And the Queen was positive the Evil Witch had poisoned the Laughing Knight, if not by drugs, surely by tongue.  Whenever the Evil Witch spoke it was pure Evil, and she also was an apprentice wizard so she knew many ways to cast her evilness onto unsuspecting Queens.

 Shortly after the Queen was cured, the Laughing Knight took ill, and to this day the Queen is totally sure it was the doing of the Evil Witch.    But it was not all the Evil Witch as the Laughing Knight could now not hold back his own true evil.  Out of the woodwork came all his mistresses and maidens to visit him while he was in the Wizard’s Hall.  The Queen from this day forward had no peace.  She was tormented by the Now Evil Knight and all his Ladies.  The Master Wizard told the Queen that the Knight has now changed due to the illness and perhaps in time when he recovered he might be restored to his old self.

 Well the Queen made a vow to wait for at least six months before doing anything, even though all her friends told her to leave and run away.  No one could understand how the Queen could stand to live with this Knight the way he is now.  But the Queen waited to see if he changed back.  The next seven months were pure living hell on the Queen; because the Knight had no regard for the Queen’s feeling and starts parading his mistress’s right in front of her.  The Knight did ever thing he could to drive the Queen away, but the Queen had made a vow to herself she would stay at least six months. 

 Well as the seventh month came, the Queen could take no more and her vow was complete.   The Queen left the not so Laughing Knight and moved in with a friend.  Now the Knight was free to let his mistresses come and go as he pleased.   They all fought over the Knight, but little did they know his true evilness, but the Queen knows and bids them all their own hell in time.  The Knight soon demands the Court to make the marriage closed, and not one day goes by when the Knight re-marries one of the little winches that is half his age.

 The Queen once out of the turmoil and Knight’s life she finds a new true internal happiness that she has never known before.    This happiness she finds does not come from anyone else but herself.  Of course the Queen can’t say she just happened upon this, as it took a while talking to counsel and looking inside her to find this happiness.  The Queen now knows the happiness was truly always there within her, she just aloud outside forces to tarnish it.  So for the time being the Queen has decided to purchase herself a new Castle and live the way that make her happy.

 This is not to say the Queen is now alone, as she is not for there is Romantic Knight, but alas that is another fable.
