Prologue
September 15 The wind whipped Princess Piper's long Honey brown hair about her, as she and her prince stood there in the courtyard of the ladies finishing school.
"I can not believe that this hath happened." The princess said and Leonardo pulled her cloak tighter about her shoulders as so she'd not take ill.
"I know tis not as I wished either." Leonardo said and slowly he took in her blessed continence, her soft lips, gentle eyes and her pert little nose. Goddess he'd miss her. "However, tis my job to keep peace in my home."
"But Leonardo what if something happens and…" He pressed a finger to her soft lips.
"Not wilt happen to me." He tried to assure her gently but still the fear filled her. What if it did? Then where would she go? She had never loved any as much as this man and now she might lose him. The memory of the time when she'd thought he'd parish in the ambush over four years ago hit her and she shuddered. If that truly happened where would she go? She'd lose her heart for all of time.
"But Leonardo how doth you know that?" She asked and he heard her fear, her worry.
"Because love, when you have as much love for another as I do yee tis nothing strong enough to stop it." With that he pressed his warm lips to hers, warming them with his tenderness.
"Leonardo wilt yee take a token?" She asked and he nodded solemnly. She asked at last and he smiled.
"Always." With that she pulled a sweet smelling blue ribbon from her hair and tied it about his wrist.
"There, now no matter what yee shall not forget me." She told him sweetly and he felt his heart sell, had had he won her? It still stunned him at times. She was just so good, innocent despite all she'd lived through and yes all his.
"Never Love, never." And his mouth was on hers, fused as if he'd never let it go.
"Highness the men are waiting!" Called Sir Gidian and Leonardo quickly pulled back and taking the ring form his finger he pressed it into her palm.
"Keep this safe until I return." And with that he was walked backwards, his face to her as he left her there, as he left his heart in that courtyard.
