"Yeah, mostly." Caelan said, shrugging once more. "Obviously there's higher classed jobs as well such as jewlers for the royal family and knights and such but most are simply farmers and tradesmen" |
|  |
|
| |
|
Adele nodded. "Now tell me something you like about living here." |
|  |
|
| |
|
"Meeting new people...But other than that, nothing. You coming along was pretty great." He said softly, smiling at her |
| |
|
| |
|
Adele blushed at his comment, looking down at her lap. Then she said, "Really? That's all? Hm. We need to change that. If you're going to rule a kingdom, you have to like it." Adele said firmly, though playfully. "What's something you could like if it was different?" |
| |
|
| |
|
"My parents" He said, chuckling. "I really dont know. There isn't much I can really do except avoid war with your parents" |
| |
|
| |
|
Adele grew solemn. "That's going to be plenty hard. They're intent on taking over or even just wiping out the whole Night Kingdom, and they don't care how they do it. That's one of the flaws in their ruling; they don't know the truth." Adele looked at Caelan. "But I do. I don't know what or how I'm going to do it, but I will make sure they know what it's like here." Adele took another bite of her muffin, chewing and thinking. |

|
| |
|
"Just don't tell them...everything I've told you? Like about my father?" He pleaded |
| |
|
| |
|
Realizing she might have said that wrong, Adele swallowed and said, "Oh, no, of course not! I'll just tell them that the people here aren't evil." She paused. "If I ever go back." |
| |
|
| |
|
"I could...come with you fi you'd like? If you go back? I'd like to see your kingdom as well, too" He said softly, not pressuring her into anything |
| |
|
| |
|
Adele thought about this for a while before saying slowly, "I'd like that, but it would be very different from me coming here. Any person that sees your wings will freak out and likely try to kill you. My parents probably won't be any different. I hate to say it, but, from my experience, the Day Kingdom is more evil than the Night." |
