“Will You Marry Me?”. “No.” She Did Not Say This Unkindly

“I don’t know,” I told her. It was an easy way out, a way to not have any more worries pile up. She shot me a look, that I unfortunately

“I don't know what happened. One minute we are enjoying each others company. Than the next thing I know she starts to clench at her chest, hunched over in pain. I didn't mean to hurt her, if I did.”

“I was at the park with a friend.” She didn’t bother telling her that it was Richmond Park and she rode the bus for an hour to get there. They currently had visitors at Winfield House. A foreign dignitary and his family was spending the weekend so it was nice to get away from the busy mansion before the dinner party they would be having the next day. “I told James I was leaving.”

“But, you requested this.” He started to unbutton his vest exposing a completely white dress

Queen Serena looked out her cell window. She really believed she could save the kingdom, but like most, she failed. The kingdom, her home, shall forever live in darkness.

As the trumpets sounded further back, Reina’s mare panicked again. The petite woman, guided her horse from the main footpath to allow the latest arrived party through. She certainly thought the trumpets were overkill, but as the voice announced the King had arrived, the entrance became more memorable rather than an annoyance. She gently ran her fingers against the mare’s face, soothing the animal. Her eyes however remained on the knights and the royalty. She sighed quietly, her father forbid her from hearing princess stories as she was growing up. Instead Reina was forced to read the stories herself, hiding the books from her parents. She had always wondered what life would be like living in a castle.

After her morning bath she began her daily schedule. She sped through meetings about upcoming events and began her daily excursion through her garden. Until recently, the gardens were her only safe haven from the life of royalty. Quickly after her parents discovered this secret garden they made it open to the public. Nobility began to ravage her only quiet spot, leaving her to find another.

After an hour of getting poked and prodded her dress as fitted and ready, Ivory peered into the long mirror admiring the tailors fine work. Her dress was exquisite, the Cadet grey color complimented her pale skin and the lace detailing and beading added elegance to the dress. Her bold eye makeup helped her bright yellow eyes standout and her crown rested perfectly atop her tightly pinned blonde hair. She made her way along the barely lit dark long and twisting corridors before a noise from the southeast wing caught her attention. With a sudden turn she went to investigate only to find Malus Eque a renowned knight from the Tennebris Empire waiting to catch her. He ran forward to catch her only to be tripped by her foot as she took off running. As the empress ran she shouted for any knight to find her or servant to save her the corridors seemed never ending and soon she was stuck at a dead end as she accepted her fate. Malus caught up to her and the last thing she remembers is a  sweet smelling cloth being placed in front of her

This was meant to be a stress free day, though it seemed she needed to pay another visit to the so called pirate king. That is he wasn't to busy chasing after that silly rouge or some treasure. That could wait till later, at the moment Alex wanted one thing, "Ahhh...where were we?" she asked as the robe dropped from her skin and back to the floor. 'Right here My Queen.' Gaheris smiled and moved to help her once again lay down, so his hands could go back to their very dedicated

Pawl studied her with a small scowl on his face. “You shouldn’t be carrying such a heavy bag.” He swiped the bag from her arm and slung it over his own shoulder.

“I’m far from being comfortable, Dad,” I growled, “but what choice do I have if I want to be with Anna.”

“That is indeed where I got it.” The confession seemed strained. Cath looked up, her eyes were close to tears.

She did find out many answers to her questions that her parents didn’t answer. The first thing she found was a fence that stretched from one side of the woods to the other with a gate in the middle of it. At the gate stood a night guard. He seemed spooky, but he was rather friendly to the princess. Before they properly met, they encounter Old Man Cemetery who came to see why the princess was out of her castle. “Why are you out of your castle, Princess?” exclaimed Old man Cemetery. The princess just wanted to go outside; she didn’t see any harm in it. “I just wanted to leave for a change. I can make my own choices.” said the Princess nervously.

Soon after the queen’s passing, the king took a new wife. However, the new queen was selfish, for she did not want to care for a child that was not her own. And so, she sent the young princess to live a town by the harbor at the edge of the kingdom with the hope that the princess would be forgotten and never return to the castle.

No one could speak unless spoken to by a royal. People kept shooting her glares, mainly the girls. She was sitting at the prince’s right hand side but that it wasn’t like any other seat was available. Still, Rosaline felt more anxious by the second.
