Note: Due to a Guest Review I redid how this what set up. I hope it is easier for you all to read! Thank you for your Review! It means a lot! It helps make the stories better! :D
Cedric storms up the stairs of his tower and slams the heavy oak door behind him with ease.
"Damn it all Wormy!"
The raven jump's and fly's up into the rafters at the slamming of the door.
"King Rolland will have his day in Hell once I am done with him."
Storming over to his work station he pushes everything off his station. Slamming his hands down on the table with a loud humph escaping his lips.
"That bastard thinks I am no good, once I find that amulet he will see what's coming."
He stands straight and runs his hands through his hair relaxing a bit from his anger. He strolls over to the window of his tower looking down at the castle grounds. Examining the grounds carefully he catches what he was looking for, a petite 13 year old girl dressed in lavender and running around the garden with a bunny and birds. A disgusted look comes across his face.
"Look at you little miss princess, from rags to riches you went over night, because ol King Roland has the hots for your mom. A commoner like yourself shouldn't even touch such a magical powerful amulet that hangs around your small little neck."
An evil smirk grew across his face and his eye's show that he is now lost in thought drawn to a darker place in his mind, maybe soul. He envisions taking her by the throat, picking her up watching her gasp for air while he rips it off her little neck. Shuddering he comes back to his senses when Wormy quacks at him, glaring up at the raven.
"Why must you disturb my pleasant fantasy?"
The bird quacks at him again and flies out the window. Cedric rolls his eyes and goes back to work on the pile of requests that was now scattered amongst his floor. He never enjoyed being the Kings pet but he decided to take up the offer pretending to be the good child of Goodwin the Great. Doing his part when his father decided to retire, being only 18 the king was a bit hesitant but because he was Goodwin's son he let it slide. That was the first time his anger sparked towards the king. Cedric was a good sorcerer though, his powers hadn't fully developed and he wanted the Amulet to help awaken his full potential. His father warned him it was a bad idea that they would awaken in time, he considered waiting but to longer he was around the king and it seemed like everything he did displeased him, expecting more from him just because he was the son of a powerful sorcerer. It frustrated Cedric to no end; always living in his father's shadow made him loath the people around him. Hearing the sinkers and whispers of conversations of even the house maids and butlers, no one thought he was worthy of being the Enchancia Royal Sorcerer.
Only being in the castle for less than a year the darkness inside him already grew. Not leaving his tower unless there were no other choice., having food brought up to him and left outside his door he started talking to the other residents of the castle less and less. One day he heard to news that the king was to be married again and a new queen and princess would be crowned. The castle was in an uproar of excitement and preparation for the new arrivals, all Cedric thought was another sniveling child to entertain when the king snapped his fingers and to do silly parlor tricks to please them.
Few weeks passed and when he went out and about the garden to get some more ingredients for his potion and spell request and then some extra for his own personal use he ran into the new princess in the garden. Hearing her talk to no one he ignored it at first but when walking passed something caught his eye. Stopping dead in his tracks his eye's laid upon the shining purple amulet he had been searching for. The first thought that came to mind was how did this child obtain it, and then he noticed the girl and noticed him and was smiling at him. Giving her a distained disgusted scowl she started to talk to him.
"Are you Mr. Ceedric the Royal Sorcerer?"
Her voice made her sound way to excited then she needed to be.
"It's Cedric and yes."
She started to stand and he put a hand out in gesture that she should stop.
"Don't bother getting up I am leaving."
He bowed to her like a good pet would do.
"Princess as you was."
Turning and quickly walking away before she had time to say anything more. After that he kept a close eye on her, waiting to make his move to grab the amulet that was so close to him now. A month passed of watching her movements and planning carefully on how to obtain it. Returning to the gardens to fetch more herbs he catches her practicing her sorcery. Turning stones into rubies what a childish, simple spell. Noticing she caught on fast with it and seeming to need no help at all mastering it. He scoffs and continues on his way.
"Even a baby can master that simple spell."
Gathering what he needed he returned to his tower. Once back he started brewing his potions doing his labeling , book keeping and what else needed to be done when a knock on his door. Not moving or looking at the door.
"Who is it?"
A voice came in from the other side.
"It's only me; the King has requested your immediate presence at once."
Baileywick had said before you heard his footsteps retreat down the tower. Once he knew he was out of ear shot he cursed at the air.
"What the hell does he want from me now? It's the middle of the day; I have more important things to do then to please his royal highness."
Mumbling to himself he threw his robe over him and walked out of his tower locking the door behind him. Reaching his destination he knocked on the doors to the throne room.
"Your Majesty it is I, your Royal Sorcerer."
There was silence for a few seconds before Baileywick opened the door to let him in then leaving the room shutting the door behind him without a word.
"Come forward Cedric, I have been informed by my daughter that you seemed like you didn't wish to talk to her. Sophia is new to the castle and I wish that you would be more kind to her. I told her you were a busy man and to not let your distracted mood get to her. I request that you not ignore her and if she wishes to talk to you, you let her and not just brush her off, she is your princess and she is to be respected like any other of the royal family. Do you understand Cedric?"
Cedric had bitten the inside of his cheek drawing blood as he listened to the king to go on and on. Bowing to him,
"Yes your Majesty, I understand. Is there anything else you would like to talk to me about?"
The king shook his head no.
"You are dismissed now."
Bowing one last time he turned and swiftly left the room heading back up to his tower.
