The Lost Luna

Chapter-9

Erin was worrying about what could be the reason for Jaden to come barging into the room and scaring the girl. When they left the room and were making their way towards the library, Erin asked, "What is the matter, Jaden? I know you will never wake me up when I am asleep, especially on not-so important matters." "It is urgent, Your Majesty, as I told you about. I would not like to risk anyone knowing about it. For starters, it's about the arrival of the letter from Elinor kingdom," Jaden replied.

“Elinor has never sent me any letters after dad's funeral. I was the one who sent them the invitation letter for the dad's funeral. They just showed up and after that they never cared to ask how I was holding up or if I needed any help or not. What can it be that they possibly want from me now? It's been so many years since I last saw King Makilson. Perhaps they are inviting me to his funeral. Who knows?" Erin told Jaden about King Makilson. "I have not opened the letter yet. It is for you and nobody should open or read it, but I read the outline and it freaked me out. It said 'Arriving soon.' I think he is not dead and he wants to visit you, but it could also be a trap to capture you and to rule over Bridgetta. We will never know.” Jaden told Erin.

“I understand your concern, Jaden but we can not jump into conclusions when we are not at all sure about the actual problem.” Erin said. “Perhaps he might just want to see you after so many years he just realised that Bridgetta is now ruled by his best friend or to say his so called best friend’s son. And now he is desired to pay him a visit. Which he should have done a very long time ago.”

“Jaden, are you making fun of me?” Erin asked in a bit of authoritative way. “Nobody can make fun of the King of Bridgetta. Unless, he is a giant fool.” Jaden said in a mocking way, he further continued, “nobody should say anything to the King of Bridgetta about his intellectual ability because King of Bridgetta are know for their smartness but when it comes to King Erin of Bridgetta, a person can, because he/she should always speak the truth no matter how hard it may be to the listener or to the King himself.” “Why do you like mocking me so much Jaden?” Erin said while grinning widely. Jaden responded, “Because you are my best friend, Your Majesty.”

They have reached the library they both were standing outside the library. The guards stationed at the library door bowed to Erin and opened the door for him to enter. Erin entered, followed by Jaden. He quickly went to the table and picked up the letter which sat on his front desk. It was from King of Elinor. Erin quickly opened it and read aloud for Jaden to also hear.

Dear King Erin of Bridgetta,

I am the King Makilson of Elinor. If you don’t remember I was the best friend of your father. We were so close. Now that he is gone I miss him immensely. I think that it might be the right time to pay you a visit and to make it special I have an important proposal for you as well. I heard that you are not married yet. You are also of 25 years which is the same age as my daughter, Princess Anna. Now that my daughter is of the eligible age for marriage. I was finding her a suitable husband also someone worthy of taking over my precious Elinor after me. As I was searching, I found the information about you being unmarried. I knew then that I can not miss this opportunity. Marrying my only daughter to my best friend’s son is like a dream come true and I just know that you are as amazing as your father, also you might have inherited a great respect for women from your father. Which is exactly what I need in my future son-in-law. I Also trust you to take good care of my darling Elinor as I have done everything I can do to make it a better place.

I just know that you are perfect fit for my daughter and my kingdom. I will bring my family with me in three days so you two can talk and make a decision on it.

With love,

King Makilson of Elinor.

After reading the letter Erin knew what he wanted to write him back as.
