Royal quest

Chapter 4

_At the icy lake kingdom_

A kingdom of warriors.

Trained warriors. The news spread about other kingdoms,in the search for a wife for the king's only son, Prince Rowland. He swung his sword to the left,and the general head jumped out,with blood gushing out of his body.

"Get rid of the body",he said and brought out a kerchief and wiped the blood that spilled on his face. He had never lost a fight before. He walked out of the forest, heading to the palace. He had beautiful white hair,and a chiseled face shape with brown eyes. He is the definition of perfection.

"I have to embark on a journey",he said to his right hand man, Philip

"Why?", philip asked

"I have to seek other things,other treasures.. I seek love". He replied with no bit of emotion accompanying his words.

Philip felt surprised but he nodded, another way to escape from the stressful palace duties, Philip thought.

He lost his mother at birth and growing up under the wings of my father, a warlord turned king,was a repellant for any form of love. "We will leave tomorrow",the prince said to Philip.

"My son always makes me proud",king Maxwell said as he saw his son walking in.

"Good evening father,"the prince greeted, and Philip bowed.

The morning came so soon. He set out at dawn without his fathers permission. He mounted his horse and rode out of the palace, carrying necessary things he would need. Behind him galloped Philip and starfire. They were his only close friends in the palace.

Starfire wondered why the prince had suddenly decided to look for a life companion. It was not something she expected the prince to do anytime soon. She had strong feelings for the prince,but she had never confessed it to him. She very well knew that the prince knew about her feelings for him.

They rode throughout the day,and ate anything that came their way. Soon,the night came. It was a cold night.

"Let's camp here",they heard the prince say. He hated the cold weather. The prince of ice hates cold,how ironic.

He sat on a rock and watched starfire skillfully start a fire. He knew she had something for him,but he didn't deserve it,he didn't know how it felt,and he did not plan feeding anyone with false hopes.

"Which kind of princess do you intend to marry",he heard starfire asked

"Let fate decide",he replied with a cunning smile. Fate?,when did the prince Start believing in things like this, starfire thought. She started at his face and saw he's reaction and smiled. He's just pulling her legs.
