The night was falling.

And the banquet started.

Was a lot of people of the kingdom eating, speaking, and laughing.

Steven was alone far of people. The king entered to the room with a woman. She was that girl he saw in the window, she was pretty sexy, and her dress made her more attractive, all men in the room was looking her and Steven too.

The king went towards Steven while she saw him surprised.

C: It can't be.
She said in her mind.

K: Steven, How are you spending the night?
Did you find a woman that you liked it?

S: Not yet.
He diversion his gaze to her for a second

K: Well I found a girl, years ago.
Steven, she is my Queen.
Connie.
He kisses her in the cheek.
K: My wife.

Steven looks at her. He was so serious.
S: A pleasure to meet you.
And he reverence at her.

Connie couldn't avoid look at him with surprise.
His gaze was piercing.
He was so different now.

K: Give me a second.
The king asked for silence, and told.

K: This boy saved my kingdom today, he was brave and strong. This banquet is in his honor. Thank you.
For Steven!

All repeated him and toast with their glasses.
The party continued and finally ends.

The king begged to Steven stay that night in the palace.
He accepted.

It was a warm night.
After that he went to his room, he leaned on his bed just wearing his pants and started to think.

*sigh*

No Steven.
She isn't for you. She has her own life now.
But, I can't stop thinking about her.
All this time
All my life
I couldn't.

*sigh*
S: I better go and so, I don't see her again.
Steven said sadly.

The last thing that Steven thought before sleep was Connie looking at him while she and the king went out the room.
And he fell asleep.

In the morning Steven was ready to go away from the kingdom, but the things don't worked like he thought.

He was going to say goodbye to the King, so he went to his room.
The doors were closed, he knocked the door, and these opened. Steven entered but the only person that was there was the Princess on the bed.

C: Steven…
S: I - I'm sorry; I thought that the King was here, Goodbye.
C: No! Steven. Please. I want to talk with you.

Steven stopped and thought first.
S: Tell me.

Suddenly a noise came from out of the room. Were the guardians that patrol inside the palace?

C: Not here. Come with me.
She took his hand, and they down the stairs that the guardians doesn't knew.

They walked with careful without anyone watched them; they hid of the guardians, and they went to the little cataract that was close there.
All the way they were in silence until that Connie stared at Steven and started to talk.

C: I'm happy to see you again.
S: Me too.

Steven said watching Connie serious but with penetrates eyes.

C: You are changed.
She touched his face with her hand

C: Where is your smile?
Connie smiled and immediately Steven smiled too.

S: Has happened so many things in all this years.
C: Yes.
Connie said with a sad tone.

She walked at the edge of the lake and stayed on a rock.

S: So. Do you have kids?
C: What? No.
I never let him even touch me.
Do you know?
I still hate him.
She said with a mix of angry and sad face.

S: But I don't understand.
He is a Prince why he married with you if you are not a Princess.

C: Ah, Steven. I have to tell you the truth.
Do you remember the first time when you met me?

S: Yes.

C: I said that some people wanted to marry me with a boy.
He is that boy.
I'm a Princess Steven.

S: B-but, why you lied to me?

C: I knew how you would react. You would want to save me from that too. And you, you.
She couldn't say it. Until that with a broken voice she said.

C: You would be dead.

She turned.
C: I'm sorry Steven.

Steven was in silence.

C: Please. Forgive me.

He saw her, he started smiling and walking towards her.
Connie was confused.

S: Hmm. Well. Ok.
He pushes her into the water.

C: Whoa…

*splash*
S: Forgiven.

Connie breathed.
C: Why you did that!?

Steven explodes in laughing pressing his stomach.
Connie just saw him with a serious face.

*sigh*
C: Do you can even help me climb at the rock?

Steven stopped laughing, and he inclined giving his hand to her.
S: Like do you want your majesty.

She grabs his hand, and she pushes him into the water.

S: OHHH!…

*splash*

C: Now we're even.

Steven breathed, he saw her for a while, and both started to laugh.
And playing in the water like if they were children
After a while in the water they left.

Steven squeezed his clothes and Connie her hair.
Steven looked at her how she was taking out the water of her clothes.

She looked at him.
C: Is late we have to come back.

He smiled.
S: Okay.

Both were walking toward the palace but they completely forgot that the guardians were around there. This was only the beginning of the problems.
