"You both look like brothers!" I laughed and cheered for the both of them.
"That was terrific!" Alex added to what I said and nudged Dexter.
It has been a month since the Karson brothers shunned me. Well, I shunned them after that. Not that they really made any efforts to talk to me. I do not have meals with them anymore. I and Sandy have our own human time in our room. With so much on my head, I didn't want to be left alone. Sandy and I share a room while Alex has his own chambers. There are enough rooms in the Palace so no trouble with the new arrangement.
When the King and Queen found out about the whole mess that their sons did, they didn't seem very happy about it. But Dylan was quick to back them and add that Dexter should have waited a little while and prepared Delan for the throne. The King did not agree. He said - 'I was not 'ready' when I took the throne. I learned on my way. He was not brave enough to take up the challenge'. That did not go well with the mother. The entire clash of opinions created a lot of distance between them.
I was walking in the Royal Garden one day and met Evelyn. Even she was positive the King and Queen were being cold to each other. Dexter seems to see potential in Alex while Dylan saw it as an insult to her sons that an 'outsider' took the throne. It simply became worse when their father wouldn't support them. I have no friends here. And Alex was doing everything to make me feel comfortable. I didn't know why he did what he did. But he didn't seem as worse as the brothers to me. I often joined him and the King during their training sessions.
"That was just a small spark" The King pouted cutely.
"Hey! It's still better than nothing!" I encouraged him.
They've been trying to summon sparks from the sky for a month now. Alex did it effortlessly but the King took a while to master a tiny bit of it. He seemed happy when he trained. The marital tension is getting worse. I see him drifting off mentally during the sessions. Alex repeats himself patiently and he knows the King missed being with his wife like he used to be. None of us said anything to him.
He walked back and came to sit beside me on the wooden bench.
"Good enough?"
"Yo!" I gave him a Hi-Fi.
Alex sat on the other side of me and I sighed along with them. We giggled like teenage girls.
"Ahh...This is so nice" I smiled.
"Yeah" Dexter agreed, "I feel productive"
"It's my turn now. You need to teach me that no-crackle trick, Your Majesty" He turned to face Dexter and excitement lit up his face.
