Illysa paced in her quarters, she could not be forced into a marriage she did not want! There was no way! Why, she hadn't gotten to do half the things she'd wanted,like, get out of the castle walls. She had only been out for diplomatic reasoning and other such things. She watched day in and day out from her balcony other people from the palace going to enjoy themselves or getting to walk the streets , oh how she wished she could do that, if only for one day.
"Queen Illysa?" Illyssa Jumped and turned around. "James!" "Sorry to have scared you ma'am." "No- no James it's fine-I thought you were gone for the evening?" "Well I was, uh am Ma'am, I
came back to ask you something." Illysa blinked , "Very well then?"
"Well Illysa I wanted to ask...would you like to come to the fair with me." "What? I-I...Can't..." "Why not? I am a royal guard aren't I?" "Well yes but-...Yes, Yes you are!" Illysa's eyes lit up as she grinned at him, "Wait for me at the south gate." She said excitedly dashing off to her room.
Jim paced around the south side gate for what seemed like hours. "Alright I'm ready." Jim blinked and looked at her. "Uh Illysa how are you going to enjoy your self in a long dress?" "You'll see James." She grinned and walked past him a bit then smirked and pulls the skirt off her dress to reveal a much shorter dress under it. Jim blinked then looked at the smug look on her face as she hid the skirt off to the side.
"Better?" "Much better." He grinned looking her up and down. She was rather skinny he noted trim more like pale possibly because she'd never worked a day in her life outside, the dress she now had on came to her ankles and was closer to her body than the original.
"Shall we go James?" she quipped with a smile. "Oh, oh yes erm lets." He blushed a tab with his stammer and takes her by the arm leading her to the front gate where Onyx and Minerva waited.
"Queen Illysa?!" They both nearly jaw dropped looking to one another then to Jim."Heh Hi guys." He said with a sheepish smile They both blinked and went back to normal-some what- "You guys know Illysa...shes going to hang out with us tonight."
"Alright then." minerva blinked some being madam admirals eldest daughter meeting royals and other important people wasn't strange but out in the open? that was a different story.
"Well , let go then." Onyx said taking Minerva's hand slightly dragging her from her concreted stance. After a while of many arcade things such as games and a few rides the evening was soon drawing to a close.
"Whoa is that a ferris wheel?" Illysa said pointing to the large wooden wheel. "Aye it is." Jim chuckled. She grinned and pulled him over to it getting into a basket with him. "James i have to say this has single handedly been the best night of my life. " "ah now I'm sure thats not true-" "James the only event I ever go to is balls or treaty signings." Jim blinked and thought about it she was right..."Well...if you want...this doesn't have to be our last time to do this?" He offered gently. Her eyes widen then slowly her face soften once more, "I'd...I'd like that James. At least...before I'm forced to marry some prince from some other nation." Jim face dropped at that and he sighed, "Aye...there is that.." "James I...Thank you.' she said sighing a tad.
"For what ma'am?" "For giving me a chance to have some freedom." Jim smiles and helped her off son as the ride was over. "You're welcome Illysa." She smiled as they began to walk back to the palace after wishing Onyx and minerva good bye. They only stopped for illysa could put back on the skirt and her crown. "James...again thank you I-" "No need to thank me I should be thanking you for even going." she smiled and kissed his cheek, "See you tomorrow James." With that she winked and went into the back door leaving a certain young Hawkins on cloud 9.
