The slow night passed as it wasn't to layout the sun again. though I couldn't sleep at all through out the night. Kept looking in the mirror and my closet.
practiced how I was to present myself to her yet again but I couldn't find the best way. I even imagined myself bowing down for her which concluded to be my best option.
I left no chance for Melissa to pamper me that morning. woke up as soon as I picked on the first sun raise and headed out in to the forest for a little work out with Elvis who wasn't that happy to go with me since I woke him up from his sweet rest. I could feel him growling telling me to go to hell.
Spent about five hours or less in the bushes then headed back to the palace. walked Elvis to the stables and made sure I fed him as compensation for my early behavior then walked myself to back.
Found Nathan standing at the hall way entrance furiously crossing his arms. His dark brown eyes questioning my irresponsibility as I grew closer to him.
It was his birthday, the square a hive of activity. Acrobats unloading caravans of colourful carts. dancers, jugglers and jesters everywhere. Everyone looked excited except him who grabbed me by the arm as I tried to pass his angry face.
"Kathryn!" growled he.
"pardon? what did you just call me?" inquired I furiously.
"Kathryn. " he repeated.
"yeah... you lost all respect for me even before I agreed to become your wife. how about if I was already."
"you are to be my wife, ain't you?" responded he in a vulgar manner.
"No.. your here to see if I accept you as my husband. it's been three days now and? you think you won me over?"
"Alright. Alright. I'm sorry." said he smitten. "where have you been all morning. I went to your room looking for you?"
"well prince Nathan. what I do on my mornings is my business and please. don't you return to my chambers. not ever again. I need a bath."
"Okay." he whined as I walked inside to my room.
Melissa was in preparing the birth for me when I came in furious and through myself on the bed.
"is everything Alright princess? " questioned she.
"Yes dear." responded I seating upright. "hey, can I ask you a question?"
"sure miss. anything."
"um... what does it mean to want someone? like? like really wanting someone?"
"oh miss. is it prince Nathan?" inquired she smirking.
"oh no. not him. it's a friend who needs to know."
"Alright. first I've never seen you with friends princess and second tell you dear friend that he or she is in love." responded Melissa.
"huh? let me take a bath now please." replied I changing the topic as I walked into the bathroom. "red pants and the pale grey dress. that's what I'm getting into today."
"isn't it a little inappropriate for the ceremony and someone who isn't in love?" insinuated Melissa.
"Are you questioning my preference? and perhaps, I just want to impress my father today. I haven't been behaving that well."
"Okay. As you command princess... I will have your cloth6s laid out for you right now."
I took my time inside the bathroom washing off all the sweat then dressing into my chosen clothing. A flower longsleeved printed grey satin dress with a slit up my waist and the dark leather red pants.
Melissa made my hair look less dark and more curly with her unexplained material then I headed in for the party.
Everyone was already seated at their places. my father at his thrown with mother by his side then Nathan who sat a few steps front from the king and eight next to him was a chair that was clearly laid out for me.
When Nathan picked an eye on me gently heading in, he clumsily walked to me asking for my hand.
I did as I had promised. had the opening dance with him. spent the entire day remains with him and when It clocked six fifteen. I stood up gently and whispered to his ear.
"I need to live." said I to him as his face changed and fouled.
"Alright. see you in the night then?"
"I don't think so but you will see me again. I promise." said I walking to my dad as I whispered the same thing and he responded.
"Be careful honey. it's getting dark."
"I will be back. bye mother."
Walked out of the room as everyone still gazed and hurriedly got to the stables, picked elvis up, hoped on top of him them rode into the forest. As fast as I could ride until I reached the lagoon.
She though had not reached the lagoon or even a possibility of her having left already after waiting for so long.
it was just a few minutes to approach seven and i sat at the same spot for two hours having a conversation with Elvis consoling my broken heart.
It was when I decided to hope onto my horse and head back when my eyes spotted something come out of the water closing in to me.
I was terrified from it but stayed to know what it was. slowly and darkly, It came closer until I could clearly see her.
"my princess. " said she.
"Tracey? where you in there all along?" inquired I.
"No. I just arrived here."
"why didn't I see you in the first place?"
"I might have stayed in the way and listened to you speak to your horse but I didn't here much."
"yeah. but you heard me? making a fool out of myself?"
"well, I should say I'm lucky and it's weird. you just met me?"
"oh? you heard alot. I'm sure."
"where you living already?" inquired she as my heart started pounding fast.
"No! I was just um... patting my horse. he loves it. Do you wanna ride with me?" inquired I nervously.
"at this time? its very late."
"i promise, i will take great care of you. and also, I might not see you again."
"why is that?"
