Comments are deeply appreciated :).
Just to clarify English is not my first language. I really don't think my English is all that bad but if there's anything wrong with my grammar, please send a quick message.
Sarah's POV
The sound of a knock on the door woke me up.
'Milady? Are you awake? It's Princess Isabelle, she's gone, do you have any idea where she is?' One of the maids called from outside.
Half-awake I walked up to the doorway to see what was going on.
'What do you mean, gone?'
'She hasn't been seen since last night and she isn't in her room. She's got the king quite worried.'
right after that the captain of the kings guard walks into the corridor.
'Milady. Word has come from outside city walls. A boy was found with your sisters bracelet and behind him a giant beanstalk has emerged. We're leaving to go see what's going on in ten minutes.'
'I will go and get dressed as soon as possible, thank you.'
Elmont looked very fine today, but this was no time to notice that. Sister has got herself into trouble once more and as her big sister it was my duty to help her.
'Could you help me get dressed.' I asked.
'I really don't think that's appropriate.' Elmont replied with his cheeks turning red
I myself was put on the spot with that reaction. I couldn't help myself from trembling a bit, for this question wasn't directed at him but the maid.
'Yes, I know.' I muttered 'That's why I was asking Ella, the maid.'
'I, I beg your pardon milady, of course, you asked Ella, I was only, uhm, only joking,… yes it was a joke.' He stuttered, while his whole face turned red. 'I have to go now, the king awaits.'
Elmont wasn't easily distracted from his tasks, but he looked very flustered and confused as he walked off.
'Ella, could you please fetch me my armor?' I asked as I closed the door and prepared for everything.
Ten minutes later I stood downstairs where the kings guard was getting ready to leave. Father looked worried and kept pacing. As I walked up to him I saw Elmont who was very clearly trying to avoid having eye contact. To be honest this morning was very embarrassing, so I started doing the same.
'Father, calm down, we'll find her.' I said as I stood by my father.
Trying to pull himself together he said 'I know ducky but I just,… I'm just….' He looked like he was going to burst into tears any moment now. Father really wasn't the same since mother died. All he wanted to do was keep his girls safe and with Isabelle running off time after time this was no easy task.
'I know father. It'll be all right. I'm going to get my horse ready.'
As I walked off I started sharing my father's fears. I loved my sister with all my heart but sometimes she could be so reckless.
When I came to my horse he was already prepared with Elmont standing next to him.
'I took the liberty off preparing your horse. Again I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding this morning, to be honest I wasn't really awake yet, so that's why I said what I said.' Elmont said
'It's fine, don't worry. As long as you're awake now.' I responded.
'I, I am. Clear as day.'
