Fred Meets the Queen
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 4252
|
Fred awaited the queen at the border post with excitement and
anticipation. He had certainly never met foreign royalty before, and he
had heard that the Queen of Aquilaria was quite beautiful. It would be
very interesting seeing her. After a while, the queen and her entourage arrived. Fred's father came to the gate of the outpost to greet the queen, and Fred attended him. The Queen's horses came up to the gate, and she dismounted. When Fred saw her, he was more than a little surprised. She was quite beautiful, as he had anticipated, but she didn't appear to be much older than Fred himself! She addressed Fred's father. "I am Astra, queen of Aquilaria." "And I am Charles D'Honaire, the King's diplomat. Please excuse my son," he said, indicating Fred. Fred realized that he had been staring at Astra, and felt like an idiot. "That's alright," said Astra. "If 'A cat may look at a king,' surely a page boy may look at a queen. We have more important business to worry about."
