3 Kindness Is King

CHAPTER 3

Kindness Is King King Caleb threw Lucas's peasant clothes into the fireplace. They burst into flames. "What were you thinking?" cried King Caleb. "You are a royal prince. You must behave like one. Peasants are not equal to royals." "But, Father, I have no friends," said Lucas. "I'm bored out of my royal britches."

"You should spend more time with my knights," suggested the king. "You can train with them." "It's not the same," said Lucas. "I'm lonely, and I need a friend my own age. I want somebody to talk to, and most of all, someone to go on adventures with me." The king sighed. He hated to see his son so unhappy, but he couldn't allow him to be friends with the peasants. Even they would think it was strange. He looked to Lucas's mother, Queen Tasha, for help. "Your father is right," said the queen as she brushed her long red hair. "But you are also right, Lucas. You do need a friend."

She looked at her husband.

"Anna Gills is like family to me," said Queen Tasha. "And her daughter, Clara, was like a sister to Lucas. Perhaps we should allow them to play together once in a while." King Caleb rubbed his blond beard thoughtfully. He was a mighty king, but he had a kind heart.
