The Royal Thieves 40
After we finally leave the dining room we head back up to his room to begin packing our things to leave first thing in the morning. He explains to me that there are a few items I am able to leave behind as the door is kept locked when he is not here. He pays Mary quite a fee to keep the room open for him since he has had to leave in a hurry a few times while leaving items behind. She has given him his own key to lock the door with when he leaves keeping others out.As he explains this I am surprised to remember that the last time that he left he kept the bedroom open for me to use. He did not bother taking all of his personal effects out but rather left them behind and kept the door unlocked for me to have use of his room while he was away. This shows far more trust than I would ever expect a Prince to give a thief like myself."Are we making any other stops on our way into the city tomorrow?" I ask to stop my mind from spinning around all of the things he has been telling me today."

For the rest of the day I zone out most of what is going on around me as I try to find a way out of this meeting with the King. There is no way that I can bring myself to meet him. I value my life far too much to put it in danger like that. As we finish packing up and preparing to leave the following morning I find myself with little to share as I spend all of my time focusing on trying to find a way out. "Sloan? Have you heard anything that I have said lately? I am used to women being quiet around me but not having them zoning out while I speak." He says finally capturing my attention. I flick my eyes back to him and note the slight concern written on his face. He might be joking towards me but something about the way that I am acting is quite definitely concerning him. Maybe I should have made more of an effort to pay attention to him. "I'm sorry. I have a lot on my mind. Much more than the other women that happily hang on your every word." I say with a bit more venom than intende

The shock over what had just happened is hard to shake. My face is as bright of a red color as it has ever been. Probably more so if I remember correctly. I never would have expected him to kiss me on the cheek in front of all of these people. The fact that he did it directly after I had slapped him made it all the more shocking.When I do not respond for a while he seems to get more worried. At first he was smirking as he watched me blundering for something to snarky to say back to him. When I was unable to think of anything, I just sat there for a while and stared at him. I wanted to lower my eyes but I would be damned if I let him or any of the other patrons think of me as demure."Are you okay? I did not offend you at all did I? That was not my intention I just wanted to demonstrate how to distract those around you when you are in my position." He stammers when I make no move to reply. "It is a little interesting watching you flounder for a comeback though. If I had known that it

As soon as we finish our food some of his Knights sit down to join us. They are all staring at me curiously as we are sitting rather close together. After the way he kept me on his lap the other day I am a little surprised by their antics. Maybe, they are more surprised at the fact that I am still around than the fact that I am getting closer to the Prince."Your Highness, we made sure to follow him out of town. I have one other person tailing him to make sure that he does not circle back." One of the Knights says addressing the Prince."Good, I do not want to have to have him killed before I am able to save Hunt. That would really put a damper in my plans." He says turning to look at me.I warm a little inside as I realize that he really is planning to help me rescue Hunt. So far, I would not have been surprised if he had just used that to get closer to me. Knowing that he actually intends to help has me feeling things that I did not expect. There might be a bit more to him after all

Did he really just ask me to marry him? Hypothetically, of course, but still. He did just mention that word. I am not ready to even come close to thinking about something like this. There is no way that he would ever accept me either. It takes me a few moments to realize that I am staring at him with my mouth hanging slightly open. I have not replied to his 'proposal' at all. I guess that in the least I could just agree to think about it. Even if I have no real intention of entertaining the idea of marrying him by any means. Still, if it is going to keep me on his good side for now then I could at least pretend to think about it."Are you okay? I understand if this is rather sudden but I really expected that you would have expected it a little more after everything I have told you." He says sounding worried."It is rather sudden. I know that you have brought up the idea of us being meant for each other and all, but I just never really considered that you would ask something like this

When we arrive back at the Inn I am amazed to see that the clothing from the first store is already being delivered. It was lucky that she had that much stock that fit me or else we would not have seen any of it for weeks. Still, the fact that it is already here shows just how much he had to spend to get them to move it this fast. Most likely cost him what I would consider to be a small fortune.He immediately makes his way to his usual table while everyone stares at the fact that we both walked in together. Some of the ladies are giving me dirty looks as he places his hand on my back to steer me towards his table. I give them back an answering glare as they all give me looks that could maim.As soon as we sit down, Mary brings us out some water for us to drink before rushing back to grab us some lunch. As opposed to all of the dirty looks that the other ladies have given me, she gives me a hesitant smile as if she is judging my mood and reaction to all of the attention. I give her a

"What are the rest of your plans for today then?" I ask him after we leave the store."I thought that maybe we could just go and get some lunch at the Inn and talk for a while. All I plan on doing for the rest of the day is trying to convince you to leave with me in the morning." He admits."Considering what is going on with Hunt I do not think that you could make me stay at this point." I tell him honestly."That is not exactly the way that I wanted you to agree to leave with me but I guess that I will take it. I guess we could just make sure that you have everything ready to leave with me tomorrow then. After we eat a decent meal of course. You need to put a little more meat on you." He says.I look down at myself and have to admit that I could use a little more. I have spent my entire life half starved. I cannot imagine myself looking any other way. The fact that there is any meat on me at all is quite an accomplishment. The time spent washing dishes has helped since I have receive

The next store that he leads me to is still not quite the quality of cloth that I am looking for. As I do not want to hurt his feelings after already insisting that we go to another store, I decide to keep this one to myself. To be completely fair, it is not like I normally buy clothes anyways. Actually, I had never been in a clothing store as a customer before so this is all kind of a novel experience.To his credit though, this store does have more wool in it than the last one. Even though the winters are really cold and the wool is nice on those days, the summers are extremely hot and that is what we are witnessing right now. The wool is going to have me feeling like I am dying. Maybe I should have just gotten a few more at the first store?"Do you want me to leave you here again?" He asks me after telling the seamstress what all I still need."Just for a short period. This should not take as long as the first store. Besides, I will not k now if he is watching me or plans to come b

"I am sorry that it took me so long to get back. I was trying to give you your space while you shopped for dresses. As soon as I heard the whispers that the Guild Master was in town I rushed back over here." He says to me."Why would you do that? I have been dealing with him for years." I say."I watched outside for a bit but it did not seem as if he had any plans to just allow you to walk out of here." He tells me.As much as I appreciate his help I can only hope that this does not come back to bite me. Sure, I was struggling but I always find a way to talk my way out of things. This time, I was a little caught off guard and struggling but I definitely could have found a different way out of that. One that would still allow me to go back to the Guild in the future."I would have figured something out." I say indignantly.In truth, I am not completely sure that I would have talked my way out of it but I am still hopeful. I have always managed to talk my way out in the past. This time,

My breath is coming in short bursts. I cannot keep up this pace much longer but I can hear my pursuers close by. They are running after me and if they can overtake me then I know that they will be able to beat me. They will drag me back to the King's dungeon to slowly rot. I am dodging in and out of large white ash trees. This forest is relatively untouched due to it being so close to the King's castle. Nobody dares to come this close to the castle for fear of being caught by the King or his men. The only ones that would dare come this close are the most desperate.Finally, I can hear the sounds of pursuit falling a little more behind. They are no longer close enough that I fear they will catch me along the next turn. I know that I am fast but I never expected to be able to outrun all of the King's guards. Now that I am finally in the clear, I slow down just a little to try to catch my breath. I could keep running but if I try to keep up this pace then I know that I will only get ca...
