Part 3
Later that evening all the people of Cyprus were gathered in a group to see loved ones returning and new citizens arriving. King Thomas was in the front to greet his wife and the Goddess. When the doors to the spaceship opened there was a loud cheer from all. Queen Catherine walked down powerfully out with a beautiful young woman at her side.
Max watched the Goddess come out, he couldn't help noticing how beautiful she was, but he could see a certain coldness in her eyes. Max watched many of the women depart from the ship and he talked for a short while with Prince Alexander and Prince Kyle. Many of the women were pretty, but none of them seemed his type. Max, finally bored, walked down to the lake, which was a little way off, and to his surprise he met a young woman there who had obviously had the same idea as him. Unlike the other women, this girl didn't seem full of laughter and giggles. She wasn't trying to flaunt herself by dressing flashy. Instead she was dressed as inconspicuously as possible.
"Hey," she said nicely.
"Hi," Max replied," Did you just get here with the others?" he asked.
"Yeah," she replied.
Max figured that she didn't know he was the Prince, which was more of a relief than an insult. "So why aren't you up there celebrating?" Max asked curiously.
"Why aren't you up there welcoming everyone?" Liz asked. "I mean being the prince you must have some responsibilities," Liz said.
"How did you know who I was?" Max asked accusingly.
"Relax, it's obvious. Really it is," Liz said to Max's disbelieving face. "Let me guess you came down her to get away from all of the attention?" Liz questioned.
Before Max could answer Tess walked down to the both of them. Tess bowed to Max and nodded to Liz before saying, "I thought I saw you come down here your highness. I didn't want you to be alone so I thought I'd join you.two," Tess added lamely.
A small flicker of a smile went across Liz's face. It was so obvious that Tess wanted her to leave that she almost laughed. "That's all right Tess, I was just leaving," Liz said sweetly. Before Liz retreated she bowed toward Max and said, "Glad to have met you your highness."
Max watched as the strange young woman drifted away into the darkness before he turned his head back to Tess. He inwardly groaned. He had seen her come off the ship and she had been all over him since. No wonder she had seen him come down here, she was probably already stalking him. This was going to be an unpleasant evening Max thought to himself.
