The unknown hero

The royal family

That night was long for the princess. She had taken care of Angelo all night, and Lila had gone to sleep at another room. The next morning when Angelo woke up, he saw the princess sleeping at a small chair next to him. He felt so bad for her since he was the reason she had to sleep like that. He got up and tried to carry her to bed. She almost woke up when he put his arms around her but luckily she didn't. He successfully put her to bed and got out of the room looking for Lila. It was 6 am and he knew really good that Lila wasn't awake because she always wakes up at 8 am. He was afraid to go in at any room so he was just walking straight when he heard someone snoring. Angelo would always hear someone snore at Lila's home and it was close to Lila's room so he thought that maybe it was her room. When he went inside the room his heart stopped. It was the Kings room and he was there sleeping alone. He tried to leave without him noticing but the king woke up.

- Who is there?!

- I'm so sorry I woke you up I didn't mean to...I was just searching for my cousin. She's sleeping somewhere in here and I wanted to see her.

- And who are you?

- I'm Angelo Seiko your majesty.

- And your cousin is?...

- Her name is Lila. She's my age and has dark hair blue eyes.

- Oh Lila. She's such a sweet girl. She's sleeping in the room next to yours.

- Thank you so much sir.

- If I'm correct, then you're the boy who was sick yesterday right?

- Yes sir, thank you and I'm really sorry for all the trouble I caused.

- Oh don't worry about it. You didn't cause me any trouble, my daughter took care of you not me.

- Yeah I will apologize to her too.

- You need to thank her first just like you did with me.

- Yes sir I'm sorry I will of course thank her for taking such good care of me.

- I like you young boy.

- Thank you sir.

- Now can you let me go to sleep again?

- Yes sir. I'm really sorry I woke you up.

- Don't worry about it...by the way what's the time?

- It's 6 am sir.

- It's so late already?!! I need to wake up I don't have time to sleep.

- But if you're sleepy I think you should sleep your majesty.

- I have a lot of work though and can't afford to sleep.

- But when did you sleep last night ?

- At 12 or 1 am. Why?

- Your majesty you need to sleep 8 hours because you can't think straight if you're sleepy.

- Are you saying that I don't know what to do when I'm sleepy?!

- No no no sir. Of course not. But I was just saying that it's bad for your health.

- Ha ha ha it's been so long since I haven't laughed like this. I will listen to you today and sleep. Thank you for worrying young boy.

- Thank you for listening to me your majesty. Now if you allow me.

- Yes yes go ahead.

- Goodbye sir.

Angelo went ahead trying to find Lila's room but he had lost. It was a big castle and the guards weren't there for some reason. While walking he bumped into someone. It was the queen. Angelo was so embarrassed since he just got out of the king's room. The queen saw him getting red and said with a quiet voice -" Are you alright young boy"? Her voice was soft, even if she was just talking it sounded like a lullaby. "So this is the queen" he thought with himself. He really was satisfied with the Royal family. They were all so kind and care for everyone, even if they are complete strangers.

- I'm so sorry your majesty, I didn't mean to bump into you...I'm really sorry.

- Oh don't worry. And may I ask, who are you?

- My name is Angelo ma'am. I passed the night here because I had a high fever and your daughter took care of me. I'm really thankful you let me stay.

- Oh yeah now I remember. I knew it you looked familiar. I came and saw you last night. When I heard we had a guest I couldn't resist to see them, especially when they're sick.

- Thank you ma'am and I'm really sorry for causing you so many problems.

- Don't worry about it, you didn't cause us any problems. It's our duty to take care of our people. And don't be so formal with me. You can call me Julia.

- Oh no ma'am I can't do that...I'm not comfortable with that so please...I'm sorry...

- Don't worry about it and don't say sorry so much because it's nothing to be sorry of.

- I'm sorry ma'am... I meant of course your majesty.

- Ha ha! Well I need to go now Angelo. I have a lot of work because you know, a queens work is never done.

- Yes ma'am. Good bye and have a good day.

- Thank you! You too Angelo!

After that Angelo started searching again for the room but he still couldn't find it. While trying to go back, he saw the princess. She was awake and searching for him.
