"Now remember, no nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed." said my tutor while pointing his pointer finger upward and holding a small book in the other. Yes, I know. I get it. To be a prince is to know which spoon to use. To be a prince is to own a thousand pairs of royal attire. To be a prince is to never be confused. Maintaining a regal gait, leaving the parsley on my plate, and to be charming, but detached, and yet amused. Yes I know the whole protocol. I know it too well. So well that it's annoying. I sit at my large desk with my tutor in my massive bedroom with substantial french doors opened a crack that leads to an open walkway. The sunshine shines brightly onto my bedroom floor, with the birds singing and a small cooling breeze that flowed into this towering room. The light touches my giant wardrobe, and my giant bed, and GIANT pillars holding the ceiling. I rolled my bright Shamrock green eyes. Sigh...so annoying.

My tutor finished his lesson for the day, and I could finally get a break. I stand up from my chair and stretched my arms and back. I crack my knuckles, my back, and my neck. I then straightened out my everyday suit and looked at the clock. I realized that it was 12:00 p.m.

"AH! I can't miss it!" I pushed the large, booming french doors open and rushed onto the walkway, then slowed down to the ledge. I stopped, then listened very closely. I then heard it in the distance, that beautiful harp, that beautiful voice. That peaceful lullaby that she sings. I could then hear it loud and clear.

En... Dashadu... No bei... Shun dwu…

Dein shu twu... Keiranu swa lei…

I start humming to the lullaby.

En... Dashadu... No bei... Shun dwu...

Dein shu twu... Keiranu swa lei…

I then started to sing with her.

Hail to his grace, our great Elder.

March forward, restore this realm's order.

Hail Fludien, give us Courage.

Teach Wisdom, bless us with Power.

Brave warrior, hero of flight.

From here, your journey begins.

Your sword in your hands.

Her song in your heart.

May you bring light to this land.

Take to the skies, receive his blessing.

Raise your sword, to the skies, skyward.

Your time has come , our great hero.

With your light, unite both the Earth and Skies.

We then finish. The girl's voice disappeared into the wind. Sigh… I wonder who she is. I first heard that lullaby since I can remember. It's kept me going in life, and I'll never forget that it. I then took out a small pendant that was on my necklace around my neck. I fiddled with it and looked at its bright beautiful pink color. I found this pendant while I was playing around in the royal courtyard when I was a young boy. I know pink is a girly color, but this pendant was very beautiful and delicate, so I took care of it. It reminds me of the Peony flowers in the castle garden. I then felt a soothing breeze flow through my wavy chocolate brown hair and by my face like small little fairies kissing each freckle on my cheeks. I looked up and saw a blue flag, in the middle of the towers of Iredale Castle, with a lion on its hind legs, glide with the on going breeze. It's our kingdom's emblem, the kingdom of Brellomore. It also represents the royal family name, the Kent family. I looked past the flag and saw trees that were taller than the castle walls. I feel so trapped here. I want to leave this place. I want to see what the world is like. I want to be free.

"Excuse me, your highness?" I turned around and saw Patti, my nanny who's taken care of me ever since I was very young. She's also my maid who takes care of my room along with another maid. She was standing in between the bedroom and french doors with bright blonde hair and pretty violet eyes. I then starting walking towards her.

"Yes Patti?" I questioned with a smile. She then bowed to me.

"The King and Queen request your presence in the throne room."

"Okay, thank you Patti." She then bowed once again, then left the room. I then close my french doors and put on my fancy jacket and my crown to go see my parents...

"Adrian, we are going to have you meet Princess Celdei from Armetus Kingdom tomorrow for an arranged marriage." said the King.

"What?!" my voiced echoed. I was in the royal throne room standing in front of of the King and Queen, or known as my parents. "Why?!"

"Adrian, please don't shout at your father." said the Queen calmly.

"Sorry mother. But father, I'm not ready for this. You both are still very young, I don't need to take up the throne anytime soon. I feel that I need more time to think about this." I explained.

"Well it's too late for that my boy. The King and his daughter from the neighboring kingdom are already on their way to the kingdom of Brellomore. It takes about a whole day to travel from Barknor Castle to Iredale Castle." my father explained. "Adrian Kent, you WILL meet the princess tomorrow." I looked down, then back up to my father.

"As you wish… father."

"You may leave now Adrian. Be ready for tomorrow darling." my mother said.

"Yes mother." I said as I bowed and exited the throne room, and the guards closed the doors behind me. As I was entering my room, the maid by the door bowed, then closed my door. I pulled out my chair from my desk and sat down. I started to think. I've never met this princess. I don't know who she is, what she looks like, what her personality is. I don't even know her name. I can't marry someone I barely know. I then stood up and opened the enormous french doors again and walked out onto the walkway. I stopped where the path ended and leaned my arms against the railing, and I looked out to the view of Iredale Castle. Then, a sudden thought came into my mind. What if I just…leave? What if I go and don't come back? I mean, I really want to…but my parents would be furious. The whole kingdom would be enraged. But do I really care? I then felt a small breeze blow against my face. I then looked up at the sky. Do I really care?
