Chapter 1-
"I'm sorry Charmont," said Queen Daria. Char had just shown his mother the letter from Ella, saying she was married. Char let the letter fall from his hand and flutter to the floor. Queen Daria looked at her son sadly, "Maybe our vacation to Ayorthia will help cheer you up," she said. Char didn't think so and expressed this to his mother. Queen Daria sighed as Char walked out of her room.
Char suddenly felt a jerk as his carriage stopped. He looked out his window, "What happened? Why did we stop?" "One of the horses has fallen Ill your majesty," replied his driver. Char spotted an Inn in the distance, "Take us to that Inn. We will stay the night and continue on tomorrow." commanded Charm.
A young girl about Ella's age answered the door. "Hello," said Char. The girl didn't recognize the Prince, as her was muddy from having to drag carriage to the Inn. "You wouldn't happen to have a vacancy would you?" he asked. "Yes we do, come in. I'm Aredia," said the girl opening the door wider so they could get in. "Thank you, my name is Charmont."
Aredia gasped, "PRINCE Charmont!?" Char grinned, "Yeah, that's me." Aredia bowed, "Your Highness." Char waved his hand, as if swatting a fly, "Don't do that, just call me Char." "Ok Char..." "Now, do you think we could get a room?" "Oh!" said Aredia, "Yes! Of course! Follow me!"
Aredia led Char and his guards down a long hallway. A they were walking Char noticed how graceful Aredia was. She reminded him a bit of Ella. 'No, don't think of her, she's behind you' Char thought harshly. Char couldn't help looking at Aredia's beautiful hair. It was beautiful and shiny. She suddenly stopped, "Here we are."
Aredia opened the door to reveal a small room with wooden floors. There were two wicker chairs, a soft looking bed, and a chest of drawers. "Thank you very much," said Char smiling. Aredia blushed and walked out of the room.
Char sat down on his bed while Aredia led his guards to other rooms. He sighed, he couldn't get Ella out of his mind. 'Aredia is very good looking,' he thought surprising himself. There was a soft knock at the door. Char got up and opened the door. It was Aredia. "Why hello there," said Char smiling. Aredia's rosy cheeks flushed. "Um, dinner is ready if you would like to come down," she said quietly. Char smiled and walked out with Aredia.
Aredia looked at Char, he was quite handsome. But she knew she was a commoner and he was a prince. The most they could ever be was acquaintances. Aredia sighed to herself. Char looked at her, "What's wrong?" Aredia shook her head as they entered the dining hall, "Nothing."
So? What do you think? Should I write more? Or should I just stop while I'm ahead. Tell me! Thanks bye!
