What was I thinking, now not only have I lost the one girl I've ever felt this passionate about, but I am leaving today.
Alissa's Father thought it inapproriate for future rulers to be around such 'common folk' that they would pollute our thoughts, he felt the need to have he's daughter back in Englands custody and now?
We are packed and walking through the streets, probably for the last time.
I will miss being the Masque Archer. I will miss the colour, the music, the food, the hospitality and the people.
Most of all I will miss Max... Her soft lips as they were pressed on mine. The look she gave me, haunts my dreams. Her usual sparkle in her chocolate eyes only held the glimmer of tears, I had been the cause of that, and it just killed me. I wish I could wrap her up, I wish I could kiss her lips, I wish...I wish I could make her feel wanted.
I've always been one to make split descions, I guess this is one of those times.
I let go of Lissa's hand. "I'll be right back! Stall them"
She smiled "hurry"
MAX POV
I bet you probably think I'm hauled up on my bed crying my eyes out over my broken heart?
Well that's just not the way May-Alexis Renoldi does things, so I'm sorry to dissapoint you.
Last night I arrived at the camp with puffy red eyes, swollen lips and a heart that could not be mended, but this is not a novel and I am no damsel, distress I can do, Damsel? Not so much.
Iggy and Dylan were ready to go and find the imbecelle that made me cry. Let's just say they were all quite shocked to see me like this...I'm not one to shed tears over anything, ever, and the fact that I was crying like a spoilt little girl angered me.
This morning after throwing a few things around, Nudge managed to finally calm me down enough and had me explain. By the end of the story, their mouths could catch flies.
"You uh...kissed THE NICKLAUS AARON THEROLD!..."
"Wow Nudge I think that's the least you've ever said in a sentence" I tried to joke
"Well I don't give a damn if he's the King of England he's going to pay for what he did to My Maxie" Iggy burst out making strange punching hand gestures.
I noticed that Dylan had been very silent throughout this whole exchange.
"Dyl, are u ok?"
"Did you kiss him back?" It was a simple question, but he said it with such emotion.
"I-" I was interuppted by a cough.
Everyone's head turned and who else could be standing there except the one and only Prince Nicklaus himself.
We all lowered our heads in respect, all except Dylan...how did I know this was not going to end well.
"Oh no please don't" Fang insisted
"What brings you to our humble abode your highjerkness" Iggy shot out, I punched him in the gut.
Nudge being her usual perky self, got up "can I offer you anything? Its not the best, but its what we've got."
He looked downwards with a blush creeping up.
"No thank you, I deserve every bit of hostility you are capable of, but instead you are giving, I admire that. I come here offering an oppertunity."
"We do not need charity" it was me who said this is softly I didn't expect anyone to hear, but they did. Now 4 pairs of eyes were trained on me.
"Its not charity, its an oppertunity in which you will get to broaden your target audience, I believe that your talent is extrodinary and deserves to be seen by the world. 20 pounds a day, even if no performance is made. Full access to my palace and all its luxaries, separate bedrooms, stables, practice area, range of instuments" he said this without breaking eye contact once.
I would be a fool not to accept this deal, I just...
"This is a family descion, how long do we have?"
"An hour to pack everything"
"Alright say Aye if you're in" I said in the best leaderly voice I could muster.
"Aye" Iggy was first.
"I'm sorry max, Aye" Nudge was next
I looked at Dylan the Fang and in regret and raised my hand "Aye"
"Then its final, start packing up guys"
FANG POV
They were packed and ready within less than an hour. I was impressed. The girls had gone into the Carriage type thing to change into sutiable attire, while we prepared the horses.
"So Prince Nicklaus, why the sudden interest in our talent?" Iggy (I think) asked with a hint of accusation
"A chance to help talented people make an impression on the world, and please call me Fang" I said with a slight grin
"Are you sure you don't mean its to impress my Max?" Dylan accused
I noticed he's obvious claim of possession, Max was NOT an object to be owned! She was a person of her own! Who did this man think he was.
I settled for a calm answer "No that is not my intention"
Max arrived looking as radient as ever, a cloak protecting her and a hood covering her head, Dylan stared openly. Next to her was Nudge, I noticed Iggy had a glint in he's eyes when he looked at her, The contraust made them a beautiful pair, that is no doubt.
We set off, I promised Lissa I would hurry, well I can't keep every promise now can I?
