Avalon explained to Ender that she had sent Royals with Navar and why. Ender was not pleased to be left out of the loop. He should have gone with them. He paced with agitation. "How long ago did they leave? I could still catch up with them." He asked, as he looked over to his queen at her silence. She had a strange look upon her face, as she stared at him and tracked his every movement. "Avalon? How long ago did they leave?" He repeated.
Almost as if she awoke from a trance, she blinked and answered, "Hours ago. I sent my best, they won't need you."
Ender winced at her words, taking them personally. "I'm sorry I have fallen from your esteem, my queen. That you find my service lacking in anyway." He said tonelessly as he turned to leave her in her private Solarium.
Avalon had taken precautions this time and spelled the door of her chambers. So she hurried after him, hiking up her gown as she did so, to keep from tripping. At the Solarium's threshold, she called after him, "Ender, I didn't dismiss you. Come back here. I have more to say." She said quietly.
He ignored her and stocked to the door, only to find it wouldn't open, no matter how hard he tried to pull it open. "Let me out my queen! I should have gone!" He said with hurt anger.
"No! Your place is here! Your place is with me!" Avalon replied, finally venting her own anger at him. " LOOK AT ME!" She yelled at him.
Ender rested his head aginst the door. Finally realizing she'd spelled it shut. He closed his eyes briefly, before he turned to face Avalon. She stood proudly in the middle of her bed chamber. She was a picture of noble regality. Her gem encrusted gown, sparkled with every draw of breath, as it bellowing around her in all her glory.
Avalon looked him in the eyes as she spoke, "You said earlier, I can't have you both ways. You're no longer my Sylph, Ender. Because I've made my choice, you're to be my lover. Now come to me and take what's always been yours."
Ender shook his head negatively, "No, not like this. I love you to much Avalon, to allow you to whore yourself to a servant. You're better then me....you're better then that. Can't you see?! It would never work out, even if the laws were changed. Because any offspring you begot from me, would never be a royal. Sylphs always breed true. Your bloodline would end with me and I'll not have that. A queen needs a royal heir. Besides, I've decided I'm going to king Racine's court. Because I can no longer stay here in yours." Ender said, as he blinked back the tears that stung his eyes. He had to looked away, as he whispered in a broken voice, "Now, please release me, Majesty."
Avalon looked to him with absolute agony in her heart, as tears stained her face and she choked on her sobs. But she did as he'd asked her. She released the spell upon the door with a flick of her wrist, as she reached out to him. But he'd turned and fled, the moment it was released. As the door closed behind him, Avalon's legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor dissolving into silent sobs.
