The first thing I was aware of was that someone was kissing me. I automatically jumped up, thrusting my fist into their stomach. I hated this. Several other drunkards had tried the same thing before. The man lurched backwards, and I sat up, about to hit him again.
As soon as I looked around, I realized I had made a dreadful mistake. The room I was in was lavishly furnished, with silken sheets on the bed I was sitting on. Light blue curtains hung at the windows, and the rug was thick and luxurious, made of fur. I was clothed in a similarly light blue gown, made of silk, that hung low on my chest.
Turning my attention back to the man, I couldn't help but notice that he was handsome. He had curly blond hair and piercing blue eyes. He looked tall, but it was hard to tell when he was doubled up in pain. I was about to tell him to leave me in peace when my eyes wandered to the emblem on his chest. I stared at it, wondering what in the world I had just done. This was a noble!
I squinted at the symbol again. It seemed quite familiar...
I gasped. "Your Highness! I'm terribly sorry – I had no idea – "
He managed to stand. Regarding me coolly, he proclaimed eloquently, "My dear Princess Aurora, I am truly joyous to find you well and awake at last. I am the exalted Prince Phillip Roger Charles III, heir to the throne, and I do hope that you feel most refreshed and are ready to accompany me home to my humble palace." I could hear in his voice that I had knocked the wind out of him, this man, my ruler.
Returning to what he had just said, I frowned. It was obvious he was wandering in his wits, or at least greatly confused. I mean, didn't he just call me Princess Aurora? My name was Ara, and I most certainly was not a princess by any means. Through all the thought tumbling through my head, I managed to ask, "Where am I? How long have I been here, Your Highness?"
The prince looked at me thoughtfully. "In the tallest tower of the castle here in this barren land. And I believe you have been here naught but three months. A long three months they were, for none but I could find the way into this desolate castle."
I jumped up, horrified. Three months? "Nay, sire, 'tis not possible! I but fell into slumber only a night ago!"
Bemused, the prince's eyes continued to stare at me. "My dear princess, you have been held here for quite a while. I myself – "
I interrupted him, royalty or not. "My lord, I am no princess. I am a simple village girl who goes by the name of Ara." At his confused look, I added, "Why are you here? Why are not you at the royal palace?"
Prince Phillip Roger Charles III looked at me in vexation. "Your name is Aurora, a princess. The sleep must have addled your mind. And I am here to claim you as my wife."
This made me stop. "Wife?" He nodded. "You mean, me? As the Queen?"
The prince nodded, smiling. "Your wits seem to be returning to you. As I was the first to make my way hither, so I shall claim you as my wife."
Me? A Queen? These were my last thoughts before I fell into a dead faint.

A/N: I had fun trying to put this into the medieval style of speech... I'm sure it sounded horrible, but I had fun... and I know it's really short, but I have a ton of homework, and my parents will kill me if I don't do it. This is just a little update...
Well? What are you waiting for? Review! Thanks again to all who reviewed my first chapter!
