She stood up and left the dining hall, escorted by her maid and two guards.
"I am sorry you had to witness all that emissary, the arrangements would go on as planned. Be rest assured" the king reassured the surprised emissary.
"Its no problem your majesty. "
"Please eat on, desserts would soon be served. Have the princess's meal and desserts be sent to her chambers. "
"Yes, my queen." Her Lady royal bowed.

In Dawn's room, she sits on the cushion in her living room. One could notice tears about to spill from those beautiful eyes of hers. Her maids get ready her bath, while Elsa stands by the door of her living room.
She thinks and talks to herself.
"Is it too much to ask? I just want to marry whom I love and not a stranger. But who do I love, I haven't met anyone yet. I just, it just doe
*******In the throne room, the king is seated on his throne with the Queen by his right-hand side. The king wore his suit and trousers with a pair of black leather shoes, having an intricate gold sword design on it.The queen was dressed as always in a magnificent gown.This time she wore a dark purple gown flowing down her shoes, with a turtle neck and long sleeves, a light makeup, a pair of gold earrings and bracelets and a pair of purple shoes having black gems decorating the front and as usual with a crown graciously sitting on top her head.Princess Dawn sat at her father's left-hand side. She wore a dark green flowing gown, with long sleeves and the neck cut a bit low reaching her cleavage.A silver necklace sat on that beautiful delicate neck, with matching bracelets, earrings and a pair of silver shoes, with a crown on her head.She was simply stunning, just like her mother the queen. What a l
Dawn left the throne room and headed to her chambers. The guards open the door and she enters. She goes to sit on her bed.Elaine and Adella goes to greet her as they bow before her."Welcome princess" they chorused."Would you like a cold drink? " Elaine asked the princess with a smile."Yes please ""Would you love some snacks your highness? The kitchen sent in your favorite, chocolate cake" Adella reported."Yes please, serve them"."Yes your highness " they both left to get the cold drink and chocolate cake."Princess Dawn, your letter"Elsa hands over the letter to the princess and she reluctantly takes it from her.Elaine walks in with a cold steel jug of water and a bronze cup on a tray and set them on the table in the princess's room.
She hurries through the passages, steps till they got to Elsa's room.They hurried in all the while watching their surroundings."Come in your highness "They both entered the small chambers Elsa lived in. Elsa goes to her wardrobe and brought out a simple maid outfit and handed it to the princess, while she gets another similar one and began changing. Meanwhile Dawn had gone to the changing room.Minutes later they were both through dressing up. Elsa brings out two cloaks and passed one on to Dawn's waiting arms and they both put it on."Ready? ""Ready your highness "Dawn nods and Elsa opens the door and they walked briskly away.Soon they had escaped the prison called the royal castle. And into the the town they went. There they paid for two horses, a white mane and a brown mane. Th
Dawn enters into the forests and soon finds her secret hideout. She stops her horse and gently comes down. She pets the lovely creature, patting her mane and using her fingers to comb it softly."Good girl, rest here okay or you want to come with me? " the horse neighs."I'll take take as a yes, let's go then. I have someone to introduce to you".As Nick hears the horse's neigh, he turns his head and gets up when his eyes landed on that damsel. He'll never get enough of her beauty, she leaves him out of breath anytime he lays his eyes on her.She walks closer to him with her horse. He smiles sheepishly at her."I thought you wouldn't come"."I thought you wouldn't wait"."I prayed to God so I'll be able to see you again. My prayers were answered"."I see"."You are beautiful ".
She stood in front of the tree with Nick and her horse."So, let the plucking begin? ""Sure, I'll climb, while you pick them.. You shouldn't climb with a dress princess. "That was when she recalled that she was putting on a gown and not a pair of trousers."All right, thank you very much"."My pleasure".With that said Nick started climbing and plucking the apples, then he threw them down lightly for Dawn to catch. At times he would throw it a bit far just to taunt her."Nicholas""It is fun. Lighten up". He kept on throwing far making her run here and there. He threw another apple far off and Dawn just stood and watched the apple roll off."Aren't you picking them anymore?" he asked her amidst laughing."I see you think its funny right..? I wonder what would happen if
As she looks at him, he felt he was in the wrong stressing her that way. He wasn't very gentlemanly with what he did. He looks at her and gently spoke."I.... I.. I am sorry, I just wanted to have fun, that's all" he said feeling apologetic."I'm sorry too. What I did was dangerous and reckless. I apologize for my wrong behavior. I'm glad you didn't break a bone" she calmly said when it dawned on her the gravity of what might have been.He tries to sit up, but forgot his right harm ached and used it for support, he fell back down almost instantly. Seeing this, Dawn gets on her knees and helps him to sit up gently."You should not be careless Nick. You would only hurt yourself once more" she said with a frown."I never knew you cared"."No I don't. Do not get the wrong idea Nick"."Are you sure?" he thin
She could hear some sounds, she turns to where the sound was coming from and her gaze landed on Nick. He sat there hitting his left hand on his thigh as a way of clapping since his other hand ached."Isn't that just splendid. White Lotus, I like the name. It's about time. You ignored our conversation just now. ""It was pointless arguing with you. I won't fall for it." She said to him as she stroked her horse's mane."Impressive. The apples, aren't we going to eat them? ""I think I would give White Lotus instead" there was a look of sadness on Nick's face."Just kidding."He sighs as he watches her walk to the river and rinsed the apples, then returns to his side. She hands over an apple to him."Thank you""Welcome " they start eating the fruit.-------------Els
"Thank you but it's too expensive for me," Elsa said dropping the Jade hairpin back in his cabinet."It's a shame, it would have been perfect, you may check others, I can be of help"."Thank you, I would be needing your cheaper hair accessories please"."All right, right this way miss" she took Elsa to another part of the shop."Here we are, miss. You can get some for even a bronze coin here.""Thank you so much" Elsa thanked her and starts checking the accessories out. She picks two hair loom, they matched the eyes of Adella and Elaine, one of the light green pearls and another of shiny brown pearls."I'll have these two please " she gives them to the young girl at her side."Nice choice, but they don't really match your eye colour"."Oh no, they are not for me"."I see, why not pick these for yourself " she pic
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
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 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 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
