"Well done, hero!!" The King applauded, "Well done!" He congratulated the whole party as we stood in the throne room, in the middle, surrounded by nobles, "What do you want as your reward?" He asked, "You can have anything!"
I looked at him with an almost lifeless expression, "A kingdom." I said
My words made everyone turn and look at me like I was a criminal
"I want my own kingdom." I repeated the words with a heavy heart, "I'll make it from scratch." These words seemed to lighten the mood a little.
"Your own kingdom, huh!?" The king nodded, "Well, I guess you'll need a lot of funding." He clapped, "Well then, consider it done!!" Everyone applauded but I couldn't bring myself to even smile.
There were dark circles under my eyes. I hadn't been sleeping right.
"What are you going to name your kingdom?" The King asked
"Aurelia," I whispered, my body momentarily freezing at the word as the memory played in my mind.
A happy memory.
