Knock

Rachel answered the door seeing Richard and she did a curtsy.

"Your majesty." Rachel said and Richard took her had and kissed it. Rachel face turned pink.

"Ready to go?" Rachel nodded and ran to her father giving him a hug. Richard helped Rachel get on the horse and they trotted though out the town. He showed her the villages and he showed her stores and than Rachel decided to how him the bookstore. They walked into the bookstore and the owner greeted them.

"You came back, and you brought company." The owner said excitedly. He looked at the boy walking around the store and saw it was the prince. "You brought royalty to my shop!" Rachel was laughing at his excitement. Rachel brought to Richard her favorite book.

"This is my favorite, my father use to read it to me." Rachel said.

"Cinderella. I would not take you for the fairy tale type. Why doesn't he read to you anymore?" Richard asked.

"Because in seventeen Richard. Sorry not all of us have people to read to us." Rachel said nudging him.

"Well I will read it to you." Richard said smiling opening the book but stopped when he herd screams outside. The bakery was caught on fire.

"Stay here." Richard demanded. Richard ran out of the store and went into the burning one. Rachel one not to listen ran after him. She got buckets of water trying to help put out the fire. Richard came back out the with two kids in his hands and went back in coming back out five minutes later with an old women. After saving the family he helped put out the fire. Everyone clapped. Rachel wa amazed at his bravery. And than herd whispers behind her. That's why he serves to be king. And Rachel agreed with those whispers. After Richard and Rachel's little adventure he took Rachel to the castle and showed her around, but stopped and sat in the garden. Richard handed her a rose and he leaned in for a kiss that was stopped.

"Well well well, what do we hav here. I herd you saved a bakery today Richard. Well I saved a village from the mysterious army." Roy bragged and Richard rolled his eyes.

"Good for you." Richard said turning his attention to Rachel.

"Rachel, will you be my date to the ball?" Roy asked out of no where. Richard stood up from the swing they were sitting in enraged.

"What is your problem?" Richard asked.

"At the moment, you. Now hush and let her answer." Roy walked over to Rachel and lifted her chin up to face him. "You will be my date. Do you understand me." He let go of her chin and she nodded. "Guards! Escort this girl to her chambers."

"What? I didn't agree to this." Rachel said trying to get away from the palace guards.

"Let her go!" Richard demanded taking a step toward Roy who put a hand up to stop him.

"One more step and ill make sure your precious little girl friend gets more than just a date to the ball." Roy said. Rachel was getting pulled away by the guards and she struggled to get out of thier grasp.

"Please let me go. I must get back to my father." Rachel said.

"Yes. Beg. I like to hear that." Roy said grabbing her face making her look at him again. Rachel with full force swung her leg up and kicked Roy right in the gut. The guards grabbed a harder hold on her and made her kneel to the ground. Roy grabbed his stomach in pain and looked at Rachel and slapped her. She yelled out in pain. "You will regret that." Roy said.

"If you touch her one more time you will regret it." Richard interrupted.

"Do not threaten me Richard."

"Your not king yet." Richard said walking past Roy to Rachel to see if she was okay. Her cheek was red and here eyes were watering. Richard knelt down next to her and whispered.

"Don't cry. Don't let him see that he won. Stay strong, I won't let him hurt you again."

"That's enoughI! Take her away!" Roy yelled and the guards took Rachel away and she screamed and fought for them to let go but they would not let up.

Richard went to the kitchen to speak with his mother of what transpired.

"I am sorry Richard, but you know I have no control over your brother." Queen Diana said. Richard put his head on the table. "Tell me about Rachel."

"I think I am in love. She so beautiful and amazing and she likes to read." Diana smiled at her son seeing him happy. "But Roy is taking her away from me. She is his date for the ball and not mine."

"Don't give up, find away. I know you and if you really want this, I you really want her, than you won't let Roy have her. Also when it comes to love the right thing always happens." Diana said. And Richard went to where Rachel was being held.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Horrible." She answered.

"At least your not locked up." Richard said.

"At least I'm not getting eaten by a dragon." Rachel said and they both laughed. They both knew the situation was bad, but it also could of been worse. Richard kept Rachel company, they mostly talked and looked at the stars from the window.

"Hey we never finished." Rachel said.

"Finished what?" Richard said confused.

"This." Rachel leaned in and kissed Richard. They both looked at each other and blushed. Rachel laid down on Richard's lap and rubbed her back until she fell asleep. Richard looked back up at the stars and smiled.

"I think I am in love."
