Prince Andrew:
I am glad to get rid of Prince Gregory. Less competition now for the gentle (and much more lovely than the frog princess) Princess Rosalyn. Not as if he could have beat me anyway.
I peer over Princess Rosalyn's shoulder attempting to get a good look at the necklace that has whatever spell on it. The Princess shifts and remains blocking me, even more now. I know she must not be conscious of what she is doing, after all why would she purposefully block my view? The poor thing doesn't even notice when someone is trying to help her.
"I can't see the necklace. If you want I'll lead us home. Just hand it over." I offer out of the kindness of my heart.
"No thank you." She responds sweetly her lips pursed in what can only be a gracious smile. "I'll hold on to it, remember I need you to protect me and how are you to do so without free hands for your sword." Her point is valid so I nod and inform her that she should lead on them and I'll walk beside her to protect her.
Prince Nathaniel tromps along her other side, much to my distaste. Prince Nathaniel is a rude man, and I dislike him greatly. The fact that he believes he can waltz in and steal my prize, the princess, just angers me to no end. Of course he isn't nearly as handsome as me and he has absolutely horrible taste in conversation topics. Still Princess Rosalyn isn't very bright and may get confused by his charming smile.
"Maybe you should walk behind us Prince Nathaniel." I speak coldly to the annoying Prince.
"Excuse me?" Prince Nathaniel seems astonished despite the slight smile that graces his face.
"I said that maybe-" I start to repeat myself but he cuts me off.
"I heard you the first time, I'm just wondering why you would say that."
"I'm shielding the princess here, she'll need someone to protect her backside too, we don't want someone attacking her from behind." I roll my eyes at the other prince's ignorance.
"You know, people are more likely to attack someone's backside then there front." The other Prince informs me.
"I know that." I splutter. Does this prince think me ignorant? How dare he challenge my wits.
"Then why are you giving Prince Nathaniel that job?" Princess Rosalyn questions me in a frightened and innocent voice. "Wouldn't it be better if you protected me from behind." I frown at her logic.
"I suppose," I start regretfully, "that I should walk behind, so that you are safer." Princess Rosalyn grins at me and gushes her thanks.
"Oh I feel much safer now!" I puff out my chest, this will definitely put me on the Princesses good side. This way when we get back to the palace and the other princes try to win her over, they will fail because I already have her. That ball is going to be excellent when I dance with the prettiest, fairest princess the whole time and twirl her around to rub it in the other princes faces. Oh, how great that will be.
My thoughts are interrupted by the tinkling laugh of the Princess, she's laughing at something Prince Nathaniel has said. I know that she must be laughing at how dumb the poor boy is. Still, I feel like she has forgotten I'm there.
"Nothing threatening to your life has appeared yet, Princess." She turns to me.
"That's good." I grin and puff out my chest more. I will definitely win the Princess' hand.
As the title of the Chapter says this is a short chapter... Sorry, it's more of a filler and I should update again later today or tomorrow, though I won't promise anything. Thanks for sticking with me even though I'm horrible at updating. Love you all!
Thanks for the reviews :)
