I'll be there for you, my Princess

by Alinaish

So, here another story. I was inspired by Sonic and the Black Knight theme, so I decided to write another Shadouge fanfiction. :3 Princess Rouge The Bat doesn't want to obey her father's orders, so she runs away, not wanting to marry a prince from other KIngdom. What would happen next? Will she ever obey her father's orders for the sake of her Kingdom or go against it?

10. Trip(Part 6)

After couple minutes, the trio had breakfast and continued their trip to the other Kingdom, where Rouge's future husband was waiting.

"Hey, Lancelot?~" The princess called a knight, who was sitting on a midnight colored horse.

"Yes, Princess?" He replied calmly, keeping his gaze on the road.

"I was wondering...When we will arrive to the other Kingdom...What will you two do?" She asked, and looked over at Gaiwan, then Lancelot.

"We are going to head back, and do our usual job, like protecting the castle." Lancelot replied. He then looked at the red echidna.

It seemed like Gaiwan wanted to add something, but then her lightly shook his head.

"Y-Yeah, head back..." Gaiwan looked at Rouge, feeling uneasy.

The obsidian hedgehog arched an eyebrow at his ally, confused by the tone of his voice.

But then again, he remembered why his ally was like that. He completely forgot, that Gaiwan was in love with Princess Rouge.

"Why did you decide to bring this question so suddenly? We aren't even that close to the Kingdom." Sir Lancelot asked, growing curious.

A sigh was heard.

"I don't know...Just wanted to know, that's all." She faked a smile, looking at the distance.

Rouge didn't even know why she asked that question. Maybe because they two knights became really close to her. And she was curious about their next mission and their life.

"And you'll just complete other missions that my dad will give to you?" The ivory bat asked further.

Lancelot hesitated before answering, but then nodded.

"Oh...Okay." Her ears flattened a little.

The knight in the dark armor certainly heard a lot of disappointment in her voice. He sighed as well. Lancelot knew, that he couldn't be friends with her for a certain reason.

"But don't be sad, Princess! I am going to visit you~" Gaiwan replied, looking at her.

Rouge didn't reply. She was too deep in thought, frowning slightly.

Lancelot threw Gaiwan a hateful glare. It could be seen, even with the helmet, that Lancelot wore. His ruby eyes gleamed with hate.

Gaiwan frowned, and turned away from his comrade.

Since that talk, only horses' trotting was heard, as the trio stayed silent...
