They continued eating in silence and suddenly the kings spoke.
"Why isn't the prince dining with us?" He asked the ambassador as he took his cup to drink some wine".
"Uum, I sincerely apologize for that your majesty, he left very early in the morning to explore the kingdom. Forgive me but the prince is quite the adventurer" Minister Edward quickly spoke up to save face in the presence of the king.
"Interesting, my lovely daughter loves adventures too," he said feeling very proud as he gazed upon his charming daughter.
"Stupid prince, my jewel is looking all charming and you are not here. Good thing you are meeting her this afternoon, I wouldn't want her dressing so gorgeous and you won't see. I must win the wager I had with your father" the king thought to himself.
"Is that so? Then I am relieved as the two of them would get along quite well".
"Loving adventures do not guarantee us getting along quite well. There are a whole lot of things to
They made their way to Dawn's chambers and she changed her clothes."Get me my training clothes. I haven't trained for some days now"."Yes your highness"."We ought to start getting you prepared for your date with the Prince.""And you will, only right after my training.""Princess, but... ""It is as I said, no buts.""The king would kill me if you miss your date.""Miss? Who said anything about me missing the date?""I would attend. Relax Elsa. Don't be like my mother now.""Very well. I am not the queen, please. Bring her training clothes, Adella, Elaine get her boots set.""Now that's more like it Elsa.""If only you knew how hard it is.""How hard can it be?"&
But Dawn already knew long before they did. She had a keen sense of hearing and sight.Dawn heard the laughter from afar and smiled to herself. "I've dallied enough. It's time to finish this game, don't you think so Grey?""Hmm" that was his only reply, he couldn't say much because he was already getting tired and now she said she has dallied enough.Heaven knows he was tired, but he wanted to up his game and impress her. He tried his best and steadied himself a bit, as he prepared for the worst.In the next moment a wave of attack. It was as though she did ten moves with her sword all at once.The fight lasted for a minute and it ended with Gray on the ground and Dawn in front of him with her sword yo his throat and his sword meters away.After a long pause, everyone ap
Dawn sighed at the obvious lecture she was going to get."Father""No Dawn. It is the truth, you are a girl and you've got duties"."Is that what this is about father, me being a girl?""No Dawn. That is not it.""Sure sounds like it father.""No""Yes, that's all what it is about. I am a girl and so my duty is to be given in marriage for an alliance. It doesn't matter my happiness, just my duty as a girl.""Darling that is enough" the King said with little or no force in his words."I thought, perhaps, you'd change... It's all I am right? When would you care about my happiness?""Enough Dawn. Please, now do not ruin this moment. Go get ready for your date with Prince Daw."She got angry and stormed out..."It's still the same, even after my outburst. He
Just then Adella and Elaine came to meet them."Your bath is ready your highness," Adella announced."Thank you, Adella." Elsa thanked them and turned to face Dawn."Come Dawn, let's get you out of these clothes. You've got a date," Elsa said cheering her up."All right, if you say so." Dawn got up with Elsa's help.She went to the bath and settled in the not too hot water, one that was good for the skin. It had fresh mint leaves, jasmine and rose flowers in it.Adella came over and gave her shoulders some nice soothing massage to help the princess relax more.After about thirty minutes of soaking in the warm water, she came out and was clothed in a robe.Carefully she was aided in drying the water off her body and led to sit in front
Dawn went out her room and down the hallway. In a matter of minutes, she was close to the garden. She slowly made her way to the garden.When she got there she checked round but couldn't find anyone in a princely attire there.She searched the garden and met a soldier thereafter her search."Hello" she called out to the soldier.He turned at the sound of her voice. "Your highness. Good afternoon princess" he bowed to greet her."Good afternoon, please have you seen the Prince of Starry night Kingdom by any chance?""Yes your highness" before he could continue, she cut him short."So where is he?""He asked me to inform you that he could no longer wait. He had another appointment he couldn't dare to miss and that I should hand this letter over to you
CHAPTER 39Dawn took some steps towards Nick, carefully not to make any noise.AHEM!!Nick whipped his head in her direction, and upon seeing her, he finally relaxed. He had not thought she would show up any longer and resigned his fate.She came down from her horse and led it in his direction. Nick moved as well, taking several steps in her direction.They walked up to each other and stopped in the middle. Rather than saying anything to her, he rubbed her horse's mane first before returning his gaze to her and greeted her horse."I missed you," he said to the horse, nuzzling his face on it.'Is he trying to make me jealous?' she thought to herself.Needless to say, even though she knew he was doing it intentionally, she just rolled her eyes and walked past him, leaving him to tend to his newfound love.Not getting the reaction he had hoped for, he spoke to her, his attention still on her horse. "I see someone is jealous
CHAPTER 40"Hello there, I thought you wouldn't come,” Eric replied her, with a cute smile spread across his face, making him all the more handsome.Elsa who was still catching her breath couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter at his smile.“Were you having so little faith in me?” She asked him. He could sense a hint of laughter in her voice and his smile broadened the more.“No, I did not have little faith in you. It is just that you weren’t sure if you would come or not.” Eric replied to her question and proceeded to help her off the horse.“Ughh, there you go. Nice and easy.”“Thanks. So what are we going to be doing now that someone succeeded in stealing me away from my home and brought me here.”Elsa’s cheeks turned pink at her own words, blushing at the thought that his sweet words earned him her coming here.“Umm, let us see,” his fingers tapped on his chin lazily in a thinking manner. The next minute his eyes lit us as though an idea suddenly popped up in his head. “Ahh, I kn
CHAPTER 41“Do not cry, my love. It would be okay, Dawn would finally come to realize that all we do, we do because we love her.”“I hope so too. I miss my baby,” Amelia cried, letting the tears she was fighting back,
CHAPTER 47“I cannot promise you riches and fireworks as grand as this, but all I have to give you now, is my undying love for you.”“Eric…”As soon as his name left her lips, he pushed his head forward and surprisingly she found herself not backing out from him but leaning closer till their nose brushed against each other.With eyes fluttering close, Eric snaked his free hand up to gently cup her face in his hands and his lips captured hers in a hot kiss.BOOM!Several fireworks flew into the sky at that moment further beautifying the scene. From afar they looked like a couple in
CHAPTER 46"It's beautiful."Elsa appreciated the scenery and the thought behind everything. A bright smile danced on her lips as she turned to look at Eric. "I love it," her eyes twinkle with delight from sheer happiness. "Thank you."Finally, Nick let out a long sigh and returned her smile."I'm glad you like it, but that's not all.""It's not? There is more?" She asked again. To her, this was already more than enough, but here he was saying there was more.Right now she felt free like a bird, especially with the gentle breeze of the cool afternoon sun blowing against her skin and ruffling her hair. Elsa took a lung full of clean fresh air and exhaled loudly."There is more. You won't have to wait long though, as it is about to start."Elsa's brows creased in confusion, trying to fathom what other surprised he had but his charming expression gave her quite the assurance and as he stood, she followed him, moving close to his side.She followed the line of his eyes and her eyes landed
CHAPTER 45By the time they had left the store of the fortune teller, Elsa was already red like a tomato. She could not help or stop herself from blushing crazy when her mind played back the lady’s words.Nick felt amused watching how far she could turn red from embarrassment and he didn’t fail to take note of every reaction.They walked on, enjoying the views in the marke
CHAPTER 44“YES! Ahh, haha–ha~”Her short laughter filled the vicinity as she bobbed up and down on her feet with her hands raised in the air right above her.Watching her like this, Nick could help but get more and more captivated by this new side of hers, her childlike side and he loved it. Loved the way she became free with him.“It is time to fight?” His cool voice brought her back from her chirpy state and she landed on her feet, with her playful smile now completely gone.He felt bad he had to stop her. E honestly loved the way she spread her wings like a free bird but then time was running out and he knew she would soon go. He also had another engagement to handle.“I hate that I am the one to say this, but let’s move on?” he asked, gesturing with his head for them to move to their previous destination.“It’s okay. I guess I got carried away and behaved unladylike. For
CHAPTER 43"Four fingers," he started and Dawn blinked at him in confusion. "When you hold, turn your wrist outward and release."Before she could comprehend further, he moved his hand, so he was raising it to his back and his hands grabbed on to three arrows and brought them forward with him.Right before her eyes, she watched in full display how a three arrow shot was carried out.As he said, he turned his wrist holding the arrows and string facing outward and placed them on the bow just above his other hand on the bow.He turned the bow a bit, tilting it to the right and then released his hold.Swoosh!
CHAPTER 42At the last sentence, her face dropped. This didn't go unnoticed by Nick who was staring at her beautiful face and noticed the worry and sadness from her tone and face."Hey," he called out to her. Dawn raised her head to look at him. "What's wrong?" He asked, his already calm voice becoming softer and more pleasant to her ears in a soothing way.Dawn shook her head before replying him. "No, it is nothing. I just remembered something.""Are you sure?" He clarified once more.She nodded at him and averted her gaze in a different direction other than his face.He knew she wasn't completely honest with h
