Filia stepped lightly towards her chambers door and brushed a piece of her golden bangs form her moping face as she pulled the doors open to reveal her mother. The princess sighed and dragged herself back to her, bed plopping herself down as her dearest mother shut the door.
"Honeslty, Filia don't you think your going overboard with this engagement. I mean it's not like your fiancé is a stranger." The Queen stated waltzing to her daughter's bed and sitting down herself.
The blonde huffed and gave her mom a hard look. "I'd rather marry a total stranger than him." She retorted and gave her mother her back to look at. The Queen shook her head; her white blonde locks covering half her face as she rubbed her child's back. "Momma, I want to fall in love with a gallant man who will love me for who I am. Not some annoying prince who is brought into this marriage by his parents." She commented tears welling in her eyes as she crawled into the Queen's comforting arms.
"Filia, I wish your fantasies could come true but this is the way it must be, but alas not all marriages have any connection with love or romance. But I promise it shall work out for the best." Her mother soothed as she was smoothing out her daughter's hair with her finely manicured nails. Filia gave her a how-in-the-hell-do-you-know-that-look as she wiggled out of her mother's grip and wiped her eyes with a pink hankie that was on her nightstand.
"Now, Filia I do have another reason than coming up here than just comforting you. Since your future husband is on his way here I wish to explain about the bonds of a husband and wife and what they indulge in when they wed." her mother explained locking her eye's with her daughters. The princess blinked in curiosity and nodded her head for her mother to continue.
"Go on mother I am listening." She said in a dry tone with a hint of desire to know what she would say. The Queen sighed and tapped her chin trying to figure the best way to approach this particular and touchy subject. "Well first of all Filia, when a man weds a woman they.....

The princess fumed as she packed her bundle stuffing anything she think could fit and would be great necessities. "I never knew that men and woman do THAT! When they're alone........I shall not allow so running away is the best option for me.' She grumbled as she pulled up her slacks and stuffed another one her dresses in the sac along with a small dagger. Filia attached her priceless and spiky mace to her leg. It was a gift from the captain of the guards on one of her birthdays and she kept it ever since, polishing it and made sure the lethal spikes never got dull. The princess took a look out her window and saw bit daylight was still seeping through the clouds and onto their grand kingdom as it started to turn dark.
"Excellent it would be foolish to travel at night and hopefully I'll find an inn that will be open." She spoke in a soft voice as she sat down and began tying her bed sheets together. Ever since Filia was 10 she spent many nights sneaking out of the palace by climbing down form her chambers from her window and never she was caught. The princess stood up and tied one end of her makeshift rope to her bedposts with 2 intricate knots and then she walked over to her bundle and attached it to her shoulder. Filia picked up the other end of the rope and walked over to her open window and clutched tightly onto the rope and gave it a test pull. The bedpost seemed not to be taking on any strain and she began her climb down the castle.
"Easy now." She mouthed to herself as she felt her grip start to get slippery. The princess collected her breathings and smoothly glided down the rope with ease careful not to be seen by the guards on lookout. She tilted her head to the left and saw she was about 1 meter distance from the ground so she let go and landed on her fit, quickly dashing being a bush and towards the stables.
*****
Filia whooped for joy she crept towards the stables and still wasn't caught it seems like her escape plan would work after all. Her mood took on a dark shade as she thought of her parents. "I am going to miss them but I will not let myself go along with this...this...this..ooooh it makes me so mad." She rambled as she entered the stables and towards a very particular horse. She stalked towards one of the horses as she heard the small crunches of hay and carrots against her boots. "I hope Valgarv isn't here today.' She mumbled to herself as she approached a stall with a magnificent white horse.
"Hello, Luna." The princess cooed stroking her horse's muzzle with soft and gentle hands. The horse shook its head and stamped its feet in joy as it approached the blonde. Filia looked the horse up and down and gave a smile. "So beautiful." She chirped examining all her features. Luna was a pure bred horse from a noble and trustworthy, with a bit of unicorn in her bloodline, She is a milky white colour that made freshly fallen snow look dull and grey and her mane with a light gold colour. But her graceful appearance was only the surface she's a stubborn with hard head like her owner but also she was a fast runner with no equal that surpassed her or even tied with,....yet.
"Come on, girl." Filia whispered and attached the saddle on the horses back and started to pull her from her stall. The princess was so busy of preparing Luna she didn't notice someone was watching her with golden eyes.
"And where do you think you're heading off to?" the voice asked making the princess jump and reach for her mace. "Put that down Filia, it's only me." The princess turned around and saw it her old friend Valgarv leaning causally against the stable walls a small morsel of straw in his mouth. The blonde sighed in relief and gave the green-haired boy a smile.
"Oh, Valgarv it's only you." She breathed in a relaxed tone glad it wasn't one of the guards or Tai. The boy shook his head his hair shifting form right to left and he stepped closer to her eyeing the bundle on her shoulder.
"Don't go changing the subject where are you heading off too?" he questioned again his voice filled with curiosity. Filia giggled and scratched the back of her head raking her mind for an answer.
"Well you know I want..umhh..ahhh..check out the market for a while." She chuckled and slowly grimaced to herself for such a stupid excuse. Valgarv sighed and sat down on a wooden stool and continued to chew on his piece of straw.
"Lying like that won't help, I've known you since you were 4 so please don't start. But I bet I can guess what your doing your ditching your wedding and running away." He said with a grin of already knowing he was correct. The blonde nodded her and started to walk out of the stable but Valgarv grabbed onto her.
"Filia, I'm not going to allow you to leave. You have to stay.........as much as I don't want you to marry some prince you seem to hate or perhaps like, you've always been clumsy with your feelings. But you can die out there, you're strong but still it's dangerous and your family will be heartbroken.' He reasoned giving her a stern look.
"Oh, come off it, I'll be perfectly fine you know that. And my parents will recoup I know they'll be alright." She said in a weak tone thinking she misjudged her idea a little bit.
"You're wrong they'll be torn apart if you leave and not only the people you care about will suffer but your kingdom as well. I'm not sure Filia but if you don't marry that prince something bad will happen.........I know a lot of people tease and call you selfish but I never thought it was true. But if you leave you prove them right." He stated letting go off her arm and removing the straw from his mouth.
"Alright I'll stay." She moaned and released her hold on Luna. The princess looked at Valgarv who gave her a warm smile. "You're such a good friend a little preachy sometimes but still very good." She whispered.

"Now you're not running away are you?" he asked as the blonde mounted her horse as the sun started to set, it's rays being devoured by the dark.
"No, I said I'm staying but I'd like to take a brisk ride if you don't mind mother." She hissed the last part as a joke and gave him a small smirk. Luna made a shrill cry in the small breath that passed by and began to speed into the field out of sight, as Filia clutched onto to her reigns and guided her moves. "What a silly girl, she is." He mumbled and went to tidy up the stables.

"Ahhh, are we there yet brother I thought the kingdom of Ryu was just around the bend?" a young girl questioned as she popped her head out the black carriage to peer at both of her brother's riding their horses. One of the brothers's sighed and shook his head while the older one gave the girl a scowl.
"Would you stop asking that it's over there if you don't see mother and father's carriages are much closer to it if you look at that angle. And the field of the castle is just up ahead......hmm who's that riding?" the eldest brother asked his amethyst slatted eyes peering at a rider on a white horse.
"Don't know." The younger brother answered and gave his sibling a questioning look. The eldest lips tugged into a small smirk.
"Well whoever they are is very good and I'm going to meet him." He replied as he rode off into the mysterious riders direction.
