Chapter 1 part 2

As Lizzy ran through the halls the servants throughout it were whispering and wondering who she was. "Daddy!" She yelled as she neared his room.

"Lizzy?" He croaked.

"Yes! Are you okay?"

"Not really. Come in please. I want to see you."

"Alright." Lizzy walked into the room and everyone stopped and stared. She was still wearing the Tayledras party outfit Firesong gave her.

"What's that outfit? It's beautiful." King Lianthorn asks.

"It's an outfit I got from my travels. I love it."

"You look beautiful Princess Lizzy. Many things happened while you were gone though. Your father has gotten a severe illness that we have no cure for. There is no way to save him."

"What? No!" She wails collapsing onto the ground.

"Yes." The doctor says.

"Why now? I just got back!"

"I'm sorry. But there's nothing we can do."

"No! I refuse to accept this! You all leave! Now!" She yells to the doctors and their apprentices.

"Yes my lady." They say and leave.

"Now..." Lizzy summons one of the magic books she's collected. "Healing...."

"No! They already tried magic!"

"Huh?"

"There is no magic capable of curing me. The only kind that could is black magic!"

"Then that's what I'll use."

"No! You will not! I forbid it!"

"But dad-"

"No!"

"But-"

"Absolutely not!"

"Why?"

"If the gods decide I will die then die I shall."

"No!" Lizzy wailed.

"I'm sorry. But it's time for you to rule our kingdom."

"Huh?"

"Caught your interest did I?"

"Well yeah..."

"You and your soon-to-be husband will rule this kingdom."

"How'd you know about that?"

"He told me. Said that he'd be heartbroken if his betrothed didn't come back. Then he froze realizing what he said."

"That sounds like him."

"It was quite funny seeing as he was using ice magic at the time so he literally froze." He said smiling.

"Seriously? Hah! That must have been great to see!" Lizzy was no longer sad. In fact she was now laughing.

"It was. I might have seemed rude though since I laughed in his face."

"Can't be helped."

"Nope."

"So about us becoming the rulers, am I coronated first?"

"Yes. He is not of royal blood. Therefore he'll only become king if he is married into our family."

"That would make sense."

"So once I die you will have your coronation and you'll marry him shortly after."

"Wow. Planning my future much?" Lizzy giggles.

"Yes. Yes I am." He said with a straight face but started laughing as well.

"I'll miss you so much Daddy!" She says giving him a hug.

"I'll miss you too." He says and she leaves.

Two days later~

Lizzy was on her way to her father's room again when one of the doctors interrupted her. "I'm sorry-" He starts.

"He died didn't he?" She asked with a hollow expression.

"Yes." The doctor said looking nervous.

"Was it painful?"

"No. He died peacefully in his sleep."

"Good." She says and calmly left but when she got out of the castle the tears escaped. Lizzy started running towards the practice field and Colby who was there waiting for her.

"You're back fast." He remarks before seeing her tears. "Is he-"

"Yes. But it was peaceful. He was sleeping." She says and sits on the ground wailing.

"Hey. Don't worry. We will make sure he lives on in history. We'll have him put down as the best King in our history."

"Will they remember him though?"

"Forever and always."

"Then we shall do just that. Just- not yet." She says and cries on his shoulder until there were no more tears to cry.
