Part Seventeen: The King Knows?

"You wanted to talk to me?" Sky asked as she walked in and bowed.

"I do. Now, what's your full name, girl?" The King asked.

"It's Sky Cloud. I don't have a middle name or well, I don't think I do," she said as she walked over him but she kept her distance as she didn't really trust him.

"You're that girl who wanted to be a knight, but I didn't let you" he said as he realized who Sky was.

"Yes I am, your majesty," Sky said, "I'm also the niece of the pharmacist here in the kingdom"

"I know that you are the niece of Rie." He said.

"What is it that you want to speak to me?" Sky asked.

"I just wanted to tell you that I know your plans," he said as he paused for a bit and then continued, "when you and my son get married. As you are a peasant and he is royalty."

"My king. I do not want to marry your son as I love someone else," Sky said not realizing what she had said after "your son."

"Oh? You don't want to marry my son? Also, who is the someone you love?" the king asked as he was getting suspicious about her.

"I do not want to marry him," she said as she realized what she had said, but she didn't let it show that she didn't mean to say what she had said, "That I will not say as I know what you will do to the person whom I love."

"Why don't you want to marry my son, besides the fact that you love someone else? You could be a princess and be rich. You would be the most prettiest lady here in the kingdom, but yet you aren't married and act like a boy," the king said.

"I am not fit to be a princess nor a wife. I do not listen to anyone but myself and my boss. Therefore, I do not want to marry him and waste anyone's time for the wedding," Sky said in a serious tone, "I hope that your son can understand this."

"I am sure he will, but if he does not, he will not stop trying to get you to fall in love with him. I will also try my best to help you from getting annoyed with him," the king said, "now, I've said what I wanted to say to you. You may leave now."

"I know he will not stop trying to get me to fall in love with him. I thank you for helping me not to get annoyed by your son," Sky said as she bowed and headed back to the hideout.

The king watched and smiled as Sky left. "I cannot let her know that she is the rightful person for the throne and that I know that she is apart of the Templar Assassins," he mumbled to himself.

A while later, Sky would get to the hideout. She headed straight for the training room to let out all of her anger.

Sky would get to the training room and would get ready to hit the dummies with her fists. She wrapped her fists in some white cloth. She would walk over to the dummies and start hitting the dummy. Sky could feel like tears were on their way. She would just keep hitting the dummy, even with her eyes tearing up.
