Princess Isabella's POV
I woke up in a nice and happy mood this morning! The birds were singing and the sun was shinning and best of all, I knew I would see my true love Sir Edward tonight. I sighed, wishing we didn't have to hide our affections for one another, but it was improper for a Princess to marry anyone other than a Prince or King or occasionally a duke or lord. We had been meeting in secret for some time now, kissing in the garden and walking through our meadow. It was our meadow because that was our favorite place to go. I got up out of my bed, remembering that I had a meeting with my parents today. Something about my future? I had no clue, but whatever it was, nothing could bring me down today!
I dressed into one of my gowns and walked down to the dinning hall. On the way, my lady in waiting, Alice ran up to me.
"Princess! You're up early!" she said. "What's the rush? I'm sure you can sleep in a little longer? Do you need anything?" she asked.
"Alice, really, you don't have to call me 'Princess'! It bothers me! And no, I don't want to sleep in." I spoke politely.
" I know. But it's so fun to say 'Princess Isabella'! I feel so proper!" I laughed at that, being that Alice was anything but proper; but she was my best friend, and I wouldn't have her any other way.
"Well, say it to someone else. I don't particularly care for the whole princess thing. Just because of my blood lines I'm treated better? That is just so stupid." by now we were in the dining hall.
"Yeah well, I'd like to be stupid!" Alice flopped down on a nearby chair, and I sat down LADY LIKE next to her.
We ate, or rather I ate, in silence for a while. Finally Alice spoke.
"Is he coming today?" she asked too interested. She, being my best friend knew about Edward and loved the whole romantic aspect of it. Sometimes it was like she lived her love life through me. Not that I minded,
"Yes. We're meeting in our place." I blushed. I hated when she acted like it was such a big deal. Just a secret love affair…really, nothing special.
"Oh! Well maybe I'll bring his cute friend Sir Jasper! We can double!" I glared at her, playfully, though it still got my point across. "Or not. So you can be alone. With Sir Edward. Your lover!" she whispered, sensually. I shook my head, trying not to laugh, but it was pretty funny. "Oh and by the way, your parents request your presence in the throne room. Okay, that was not funny.
