A new reality

(Amelia)

I kept thinking about what Phillipe had told me before, and I was worried about him. I knew that he didn't want to leave, but some things that Alaric said were true. He needed to be protected, but why was he a guard for the king if he couldn't defend himself?

I think that was just an excuse to get him to leave. But Phillipe was just too scared to say no to Alaric. I'll miss him, so hopefully if everything goes as planned, I will be able to see him again.

"Are you alright?" King Alastair asked. I nodded my head and tried my best to not let Phillipe's departure affect me too much. 

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind." I replied. 

"Amelia, you do know that you're free to leave at any time right? Since you broke the spell you aren't a prisoner here anymore. If that's why you're sad then…" I blinked, momentarily caught off guard by his words.
