'I can't believe I was able to leave the palace,' I thought as I went to the market.
I don't feel right lying to my brother, but it had to be done. He just wouldn't have approved of Ezio. I was not about to miss another meeting with him. I had already missed one since I had to help my brother host a ball and welcome the guests. I have met Ezio in the market since me met as children when we came with our families.
I never got the chance to tell Ezio about me missing our meeting, but I hope I will this time.
I rushed to the market, careful to avoid any guards in case my brother caught on to my ruse as I made my way to our meeting place.
'Just a little farther.'
I got to the market and slowed to a walk as I went toward the fountain at the center. I stopped as I saw Ezio standing there. I smiled as I watched him. He turned and finally saw me. He opened his arms and I ran to him.
"Ezio! I missed you."
"As have I, amore mio."
We stood like that, wrapped in each other's presence.
"I am sorry for taking so long."
"As long as you're here now, it's okay. I must ask though why you missed our last meeting."
"I was helping my brother host a ball," I said sadly.
"That's alright. You're here now.
That was why I loved Ezio. He knew just what to say to make me feel better.
"You always could make me smile again."
"It is why I fell for you."
I blushed.
"So, wat do you have planned?"
"It is a surprise."
And what a surprise it was. We left the fountain and walked all around the market. We stopped near every shop and station, looking at all the merchandise. He even bought me a few items for my room as well as my hair. When we were hungry, we went to this little quaint shop. The food was marvelous and he paid for it all. I wish we could have stayed longer, but sadly the day was coming to an end. I didn't want to leave him.
"As much as I want to escort you back home, I know you would not let me," Ezio started as we stopped at the fountain as we always did when we met.
"You're right. I wouldn't. My brother would not approve of you.
"As much as I hate this every time, good bye and good night, my sweet angel."
"Good bye and good night, my brave knight."
Off I went back to the palace and back to sad life I lived.
