Alberon walked determinedly down the spacious halls of his palace on his way to the guest room where the human girl was staying. He’d spent most of the night trying to think what he would do and, now he had made his decision, he saw no reason why he shouldn’t implement his plans immediately. To his left, his beautiful wife Theta, mother of his children and High Queen of the Underground, walked gracefully beside him.
“Darling, what is it you’ve decided to do with the girl?” She asked with only a hint of trepidation. Alberon knew she’d immediately taken a liking to the girl and felt it was their duty to ensure her safety and eventual happiness.
“You will see in time, my dear.” He would wait to make his announcement in front of everyone later that day. In the meantime, the royal couple and their attendants headed to the woman-in-question’s chamber.
A few feet from the door, he spotted the nursemaid, Breeda he thought her name was, pop her head out of the door to see what the commotion was about. Upon seeing the approaching king, her eyes grew wide and she quickly popped back into the room. As they walked up to the door, a servant politely knocked on the door before opening it and stepping aside with a bow, allowing Alberon, Theta, and their few followers inside.
The High King quickly scanned the room and saw that the woman, Sarah, was just being helped out of her chair by the window. He gave her a cursory glance and noted that some color had returned to her cheeks and her head only had a few light bandages wrapped around it. She held a white shall around her shoulders and a simple dress of sky blue silk. She smiled and gave a slight curtsey to her hosts and he could see the hints of a blush creep into her cheeks. His physicians had told him there was little else but time left needed to heal her and he decided with his own eyes that, while she was greatly weakened, she seemed grossly improved.
She smiled and gave a slight curtsey to her hosts and he could see the hints of a blush creep into her cheeks. “Your Majesties”
“Good morning, my dear. I see that you are feeling better.” He said jovially, spreading his hands in a gesture to her obvious recovery.
“With the aid of your physicians, I’m told I’ll make a full recovery. My body simply needs to finish off what they started.”
“I’m glad to hear it,” Theta crossed to her and placed a warm hand on her arm. “And have you been able to remember any more of your past?” Her voice was soft but still hinted at her curiosity and worry. “We’d hoped looking through what possessions we found might be of help.”
Sarah’s smile fell only slightly as she replied, “Unfortunately not, your Majesty. I can’t remember anything before waking up here.”
The king gave her a genuine smile. “Don’t worry, my dear, you will in time.” She nodded and forced a wider smile. He could see her fingers twisting together with nervousness. “And until then, you are more than welcome to stay here as our guest. It’s not often that we have mortals fall from the sky.” He chuckled and noticed the young womans’ shoulders relaxed and her hands fell to her sides.
“Your Majesty is too kind—“
“Nonsense!” He laughed and took her by the arm. He could almost feel his wife’s smile behind him as he began to slowly lead the young woman along with him. “It is our pleasure to help you, Lady Sarah. We want nothing more than to find your home and see you safely returned.” They left her room and started to walk to the nearest garden.
“Except maybe to figure out why or how I got here,” she pointed out, giving him a half smile. He chuckled again.
“That is true, my dear, you have a point. I cannot say I’m not perplexed by your arrival in my kingdom.” They stepped out into the cool bright air of one of the palaces innumerable gardens and began a slow progression through the rose bushes. “But, I do not believe you mean us any harm nor, for that matter, intended to cross the veil in the first place.” He was quiet a moment as his thoughts turned, once again, on her strange appearance in his land. She walked silently with him, admiring the flowers blooming around them. He was brought back from his musings when his wife, the queen, cleared her throat gently behind him. He smiled at the young woman on his arm and chuckled slightly. “But no matter. For right now we have other things to worry about.”
“Such as, your Majesty?” Her eyes grew slightly wide in worry, but he continued to smile at her and gave her hand a friendly pat in reassurance.
“Nothing for you to worry your pretty head about, my dear. It is just that next week is the Harvest Festival and there is always a grand celebration here at the High Court. There are fetes in the street for four days and, on the night of the full moon, there is a masque at the palace. All of the monarchs from all of the kingdoms in the Underground attend, as well as most of the nobles.” He stopped walking and turned to face her, a grin spread wide across his face. “I’d like for you to be my guest of honor at the party; get to know some of the other members of my realm.”
She was startled and a flush came to her cheeks. “Oh, your Majesty, that sounds lovely, I’d be honored.” She gave him a wide smile in return.
“Good! I thought it would do you good to meet some new faces and, besides, your arrival will, no doubt, be the talk of the night, so why not have you there to address some of the rumors?”
Her face fell slightly though she tried not to show it. She was suddenly terrified of all the rulers of the Underground whispering behind their hands about the silly mortal who had stumbled upon the Underground.
“Don’t worry, my dear, I won’t leave you to fend for yourself in the middle of the wolf pack. But they will have questions and it would be good for you to be able to answer what you can yourself.” He leaned in conspiratorially, “you’re far too lovely in person for them to doubt what you tell them.”
“Thank you, your Majesty. I’ll do my best to live up to your faith in me, although I’m not so sure of myself as you seem to be.”
“Ah, the innocence of youth!” He looked over his shoulder to his wife, who had her hands clasped gently before her, a slight grin on her face. “To be young again and so naïve of the world, eh Theta.” He turned around and held out his arms to his wife who stepped forward and took both of his hands in her own.
“Darling, you are only as old as you feel in your heart.” She stepped forward and placed a sweet kiss on his cheek.
“Well, I may be over a millennia old, but you make me feel 200 again, my dear.” He placed a similar kiss on his wife’s cheek.
Sarah giggled softly at their almost cheesy, but heartfelt, affection. She was stunned to learn how old the king was—he didn’t look much older than 60—but she knew better than to pry and simply filed the thought away with the other things she would ask Breeda about when she returned to her room. She idly wondered when that might be; just walking to and around the garden had been more exercise than she’d had for the last few days and already she was feeling drained and her head had started to throb slightly where she’d hit it. Theta must have seen that some of the color had left her face because she quickly broke away from her husband’s embrace.
“Darling, I think this has been quite enough for Lady Sarah for one day.”
“Ah yes, quite right, my dear. My apologies, my Lady, if the ramblings of an old man have tired you out after your serious injuries. How rude of me to forget. Let me take you back to your chambers so you can rest.”
“Thank you, your Majesty. And it was no trouble at all,” she gave him a heartfelt, if tired smile, “I quite enjoyed our little walk.”
He chuckled as he lead her back through the spacious stone halls towards her room. “Very good, very good, my dear. We shall have to do it again!” He approached her door and she took her arm back before giving him a curtsy.
“I’d like that very much, your Majesty.” He nodded and she stepped back into her room, closing the door softly. As he turned from her door, he couldn’t help but chuckle again.

“Ah yes,” he thought, turning the corner to return to his study, “I think this is all going to go quite nicely!”
