"Hey Tristan! Did you have fun at the ball last night?" Sir Jess entered the Prince's room, his arm around Princess Michelle's waist. Princess Michelle was dressed in a simple dark purple gown, with gold trimming along the waist and sleeves, her blond hair falling down past her shoulders, sharp blue eyes staring at her brother.
"Tris, what's wrong?" Michelle asked in concern, leaving Jess's side to sit down next to Tristan on the bed. "You only stare into space when something has gone bad."
"Nothing Michelle. Just thinking about the ball last night. I just can't believe how far some of the women in our kingdom, will go just to marry me. I guess I'm just disgusted at the thought. You two are lucky to have found each other." Michelle and Jess exchanged smiles. There relationship was not as visible as other couples; more quiet than most, yet it was there. Only Tristan, their parents, and Rory knew there was really something between the two friends.
"But I saw you taking with her," Jess said confused.
"Who?" Tristan questioned. "My friend, Rory, you know, the peasant, Rory Gilmore. I was a little surprised to see her though. She told me she couldn't go, that Cheri had forbidden it. Cheri's her stepmother, by the way. Rory was upset that she couldn't meet you, well not you Tristan, but her admirer, her love." Sir Jess paused to take a breath, "I guess she found a way around it."
"Tristan. You should go. Go bring her here. Jess and I will cover your absence," Michelle had told him. She had never seen her brother so happy, and based on some of the stories Jess had told her of his adventures with the girl, Princess Michelle couldn't wait to meet her.
Tristan's mind was racing. 'I was right,' he thought, 'It was her last night. She recognized me, she had to have. Why did she conceal herself though?' He didn't care, whatever her reason was. Tristan was ecstatic.
"I'll be back. Tell Mom and Dad I won't be gone long. Thank you Jess, Michelle, for everything." Prince Tristan said and rushed out of the palace.
