Chapter 4

Once they returned to their castles their parents approached them demanding to know where they had been.

In the Solar Kingdom Crystal Heart was sitting in her bedroom when her parents came in.

"Where have you been?" Queen Golden Heart asked worriedly.

"I went to a place where I could be alone." Crystal Heart replied.

"Where might that be?" King Solar Flare asked.

"Why would I tell you, it's a secret." Crystal Heart replied.

"We were worried about you because you had been gone for hours." Queen Golden Heart said.

"There was no need to worry as I am back now." Crystal Heart replied.

"Yes there was, the guards reported seeing guards from the Luna kingdom in the forest, you wouldn't know why they were there would you?" King Solar Flare asked.

"No why would I?" Crystal Heart replied.

"I just wondered because that's where the guards told me they found you, someone from the Luna kingdom kidnapped you didn't they." King Solar Flare said.

"No they didn't father! I just wanted to be alone after finding out that I was going to have to marry the prince that doesn't show me the respect a princess deserves." Crystal Heart replied.

"Oh darling, its ok he will show you more respect when you are married because he will be a stallion not a colt." Queen Golden Heart said.

"Your mother is right Crystal Heart and if he doesn't then he'll have me to deal with." King Solar Flare replied with a small smile.

"I am so sorry for being disrespectful at the breakfast table this morning; I am actually looking forward to this marriage now." Crystal Heart said.

"That's ok Crystal Heart we forgive you." King Solar Flare and Queen Golden Heart replied together.

The Solar family all then hugged and went about their daily routines all the while Crystal Heart was thinking about what Night Wing might be going through.

Meanwhile in the Luna Kingdom Night Wing was having a very different experience with his parents.

Night Wing had just landed in the castle courtyard when his father came out and shouted at him.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I DEMAND AN APOLOGY FOR YOUR BEHAVIOUR AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE!" King Dark Knight exclaimed.

"Honey, calm down he was a bit shocked when he found out who he was going to have to marry, do you remember how you reacted when you found out you were going to have to marry me?" Queen Silver Star replied.

"Yes I do remember I reacted the exact same way as Night Wing did actually. But that doesn't excuse how he reacted at the breakfast table this morning dear." King Dark Knight said.

"I know father and I am very sorry about the way I reacted. After I had calmed down and actually thought about it I found the prospect of marrying Princess Starlight a very promising one and I am looking forward to it." Night Wing replied.

"That's a relief." Both King Dark Knight and Queen Silver Star replied.

Crystal Heart and Night Wing both smiled to themselves for fooling their parents, they then carried on with their days and thought of the next time they could meet.
