Hi, did you all have a nice weekend? I have been so busy that I didn't update. So I'm very sorry! Please forgive me. As an apology, I'll try to add a bonus chapter. So hang on tight. Well, enough of me talking, and here's the story.


"Hey," called the princess as she walked after the prince. The horse walked behind her as she tried to catch up to the prince.

"Stop following me, idiot," he called after Ella.

"I promise to watch over you. I just can't leave you when you're lost."

The prince stopped walking and turn around to face the princess. "Look around," he said as he tried to show her the circumstance. "This is a mountain," the princess looked at the prince dumbly. Like she's telling him that she know what's surrounding her. Is she playing with me, he thought. "Arg.." he scratch his head. "What do you think I am?"

"A prince."

"No, I'm a man. Don't treat me like a baby," he said as he turn and walk away from the princess.

"Sorry, I didn't tend to offend you your highness."

"I don't need your useless word."

"Then is there anything for me to do for you?"

"What you can do is..." he said turning around, "get out of my sight and never appears in front of me."

"I get it," she said while smiling. "I'll get out of your sight," she said turn away while directing her horse to follow her. The prince stood next to his horse looking at the princess. He noticed that the princess leg was bleeding. Also the horse was badly injured too.

"Wait," he said stopping her.

"Hmm," Ella turn to face the prince.

"...If you..." suddenly the prince was speechless. "You..." and then the image of the princess leg show up on his mind. "Never mind, just get out of my sight."

"Okay," the princess said as she turn around and disappear into the woods.

After a while, the prince started to feel uneasy. Why is it that I feel guilty? he asked himself. I didn't make her injure her leg, but yet why do I feel that I did it to her? What should I do? he thought some more. Naw, he thought. She would be alright, right? This isn't her first time in the woods since she doesn't look scare at all. But what if it wasn't? What should I do if this isn't her first time in the woods? The he stopped walking. "What should I do?" Estein asked the horse. "I did something unmanly huh?" he asked his horse again. Estein stared at the horse, then the horse nicked at him. "So you agree?" the horse nicked at him some more. "You're the best," he said as he hugged his horse. He quickly rode his horse as he went and search for the princess. After a while it was dark: "Where could she be?" He stopped to think. "Where are you?!" he called out. He got off his horse as he run to search for the princess. He went ran and ran as he search for the princess. Suddenly, he tripped over something. "Damn..." he said as he got up. He looked down to see what it was when he saw the princess laying down on the ground. "You!" he poke her. "Hey," he said poking her some more, but she did not respond. After a while of poking the princess, the prince started to get worried. Then he check her heart rate; she's not breathing, he thought. What should I do?

He picked her up, as he put her on his horse back. Then he dragged both his and the princess's horse through the woods to find shelter. He stopped at a nearby tree. Then he gently put the princess down, and starts a fire. This should let the other know that we're here, he thought. After he's done setting up the fire, he looked at the princess injure feet. "You stupid idiot," he said as he check the princess more. "You fainted because of too much blood loss." He ripped part of his shirt out as he wrapped it around the princess ankle. She was pale even though it was now dark in the woods. The stars were starting to appeared in the night sky as the moon brighten the sky. Estein sat down near the princess. Her hand were cold, but she didn't shiver. The prince took off his coat and wrapped it around the princess. She looked so innocent, he thought. Suddenly, he wanted to kiss her. He wanted to feel her innocent kiss. Out of no where, he suddenly lean in. He wasn't aware of it until he heard noise from a nearby woods. He got back to his old self as he blush in red. Though he didn't get his chance to kiss her. Somehow I'm disappointed, he said to himself.

He got up and get in place to fight the predator. "Who's there?" he said in a manly way.

One of the servant appeared before him. He looked at the prince in surprise. "Justin," he called out to the other servant. "I found the prince," he said as the other servant appeared next. They both were riding their horses.

"Your highness," Justin said in surprise. "So the princess was with you?" he said looking down at the princess.

The prince looked at them then looked back at the princess. "Yeah, I was with her," he said.

"Your highness, we were so worried about you and the princess," Joe said as he got off his horse.

"Sorry," the prince bow and apologize to them.

"No, were sorry," Justin got off his horse and they both bow at the prince in return. "We didn't look after you well, so we're blame."

"Joe," the prince said looking at the servant. "I need you to find water for the princess," Joe nod as he got on his horse and went to look for water.

"Justin," the prince command again. "Signal the chief that we're here so he knows where to find us," Justin nod as he went to set up the warning signal.

The prince sign and looked at his and the princess's horse. He sign again as he went and sit by the princess. Afterward, he fell asleep while leaning on to the Ella's shoulder. When the servant's are back, the princess had awaken while the prince was asleep. Ella push Estein off of her as she went up to the servant. The servants give Ella's water and told her what happened. "Your highness, we'll look around for any danger. Please rest," said Justin. He and Joe went and secure the area. Ella sit back and looked at the prince.

"Thank you," she said to the prince while putting his head back on her shoulder as she fell asleep. Continue...
