There was a long silence in the kingdom. After a minute or so the king looked down at me “Make it quick Francis”.
A Lot of things went through my mind then. Should I just stand up to him? What if he is still angry? Will he kill me? I said “Sir after what happened last year I...I...told you not to have a party this year”.
“Do you mean when you let that man through into the castle and he killed my wife”
Everyone was staring now no one was saying a word. “Sir you know that wasn’t my fault”
“You were supposed to be guarding the castle then, while my party was happening”
“Yes but”
The king interrupted me with a loud voice. “BUT WHAT”
But I stood up to him and said, “But the man was over twice my height and he had a knife. He held it to my throat and threatened to kill me if I didn’t let him in”
“Let me guess, you let him in. Right?” …show more content…
Should I tell the king? Should I try to prove that I’m not weak and fight them. Well I figured that me fighting them would not go very well, so I ran to the castle. I sprinted to the kings throne. And the king was very angry and said, “How did he get back in here” “I have some bad news king”
“Get him away from here”
“No listen, King Ralph is coming”
“What does he want”
“I told you that he would come back to kill more people if you had another party. This time he brought all of his knights to take over the kingdom”
Then the galloping of the horses grew louder. Then the door was kicked down and all the knights came in.
“What should we do”, said the king, looking more scared than I’ve ever seen him.
“Go out the back entrance my donkey is out there. Ride him away to safety” “And leave you to help protect the kingdom”, The king said sarcastically.
“Sir just let me try it will be my chance to prove myself to everyone’’
“Fine, what other choice do I have” he said, knowing some of his knights ran because they knew that King Ralph’s kingdom never got defeated. “But I have one job for you”
“What is it
