The beautiful strange
871 Words
from that evening back to the palace, I couldn't take the image of her from my head. I was deeply caught inside the thought of her.
when I returned back, prince Nathan was still waiting and when he laid a glimpse at me, his smile went over board as he bowed gently to greet me.
"prince Nathan." I bowed.
"princess Kathryn. your a goddess in person." he flirted.
"thank you."
"shall we head inside for some entertainment?" requested father ordering as we all followed.
The hall was fully decorated in recognition of the prince of balomoth.
we all took seats at the table enjoying the entertainment. I though was muchly not concentrating at all.
from time to time, I caught myself smirking and picked back from it to avoid eye sights.
immediately after the ceremony, I requested to be released for I was tired and maybe Nathan and I would get together the next day.
I walked hurriedly to my bedroom and inside I locked myself. sat on my bed questioning what was really wrong with me.
got into my night gown and headed to bed. spent half the night sleepless and when I got to rest, she again arrived my dreams.
despite all the signs of how much i was interested in the stranger, i hadn't yet recognized the fact that i was falling deeply in love.
The next morning, prince Nathan woke me up with a startle of him standing in my bedroom.
"what are you doing here?" i impolitely inquired.
"i was gazing at your untenable beauty. Good morning princess?" he responded.
"well I love the complement prince but I don't want to be woken up by ghosts."
"I'm not a ghost."
"I know. Now please can I be left alone."
"well yes I will live. but I wanted to ask you to go horse riding with me."
"sure. I will be there. now please get out."
I was very convinced from my dream that maybe at one point, I sleep talked so I was afraid he had heard me.
Melissa had my bath prepared. after breakfast, I decided to take Nathan's offer.
hopped onto my horse and to the woods we rode. he was quite good but me and elvis my horse where unbeatable. we talked about him mostly and little of what I wanted then headed back home.
walked to the fields for archers and there we both competed in arrow shooting and swords. with his talent and energy, I couldn't risk losing the arrows.
when it was my turn, I made sure to perfectly shoot which was very hard because of all that went through my head. I couldn't recall who I was anymore.
when we both finalised the game, Nathan and i walked to our seats to watch other knights compete. As I was seated, I again sighted her pass the front of the field to the exit. I gazed at her endlessly until she wasn't visible anymore then rose from my seat and hurriedly passed through everyone rushing to the exit where I had seen her leave.
hurriedly walk looking around until I saw her end the small road. I got on to the horse that was tied on the side and rode hurriedly calling on to her.
"hey hey hey." called I loudly until I reached her and stood infront of her.
"princess Kathryn? what are you doing here?" she inquired.
"yeah! what am I doing here? yeah. well do you mind if i knew your name?" inquired I getting off the horse.
"No I don't. my name is Tracey. your highness." answered she.
"well don't call me your highness. I'm embarrassed. please call me kathryn."
huh.. no." confronted she.
"okay then Tracey. if you can't call me Kathryn then can I see you again? know where you live?" I forwarded.
"my home?"
"yes please."
"did I do something your highness?" inquired she starting to tremble.
"yes. well not intentionally and it's not something bad at all. "
"oh. what did i do then princess?"
"well, can i see you again? tomorrow? I will tell you what you did. At the lagoon nearly dawn. please." I insisted.
"I will be there." replied she.
"see you tomorrow then?"
"sure."
I walked back gazing behind repeatedly as I smirked. I couldn't stop the ends of my lips so I let them be.
when I reached the field, the game had ended and Nathan was staggering around in search for something.
"Have you lost something?" inquired I smirking from his back.
"you princess. where have you been?"
"well I love my privacy and freedom Nathan."
"told you!" responded my father to Nathan.
"lets head back to the palace." Said I.
when we arrived, a feast was up celebrating Nathan whose birth the was next day.
"will you be my guest at my party tomorrow?" inquired Nathan as we headed inside.
"I can be your guest today and half the day tomorrow. is that satisfying?" responded I.
"very. the princess agrees to be my guest tomorrow. " said he to everyone else.
we walked inside the hall and sat to our tables. had dinner served and immediately I rushed to my bedroom insinuating a change in my digestion.
