I walked to my room from the dinner room. I was very far away and took long
to get to, because every second someone else stopped you to talk to you. I
was getting a little annoyed when everyone started to ask me questions that
I knew would take long to answer, so I told them that I would be sure to
answer their question at another time and that it was a fine evening. They
seemed to be pleased with this and left me alone.
I had almost reached the stairs to my room when someone yelled my name.
"Princess Hailey," said the voice, "I've been meaning to ask you a question."
I was about to turn around and say the speech that I had said to others, when I recognized the voice. It was Kyle's.
I turned around and said in a royal voice, "What is the question you most desperately need to ask me, Sir, for I am pooped out and I must go to get ready for the ball that I most certainly am attending?"
"This Miss. I would like to ask the fair princess before me if she would like to be escorted by the fine sir before her, since it tis' a shame for a young lady like herself to walk into the ball alone," he said, mimicking my royal-like voice.
We laughed and I said in my normal, non-royal voice, "Sure Kyle. I'd love to go to the ball with you. Just as long as you don't step on my feet."
"I wouldn't dream of doing anything like that," he paused for a second and then said, "I would rather step on your hands."
I laughed at this and said, "Then I shall step on both your feet and hands, since it is better to give than to receive."
"I'll wait for you outside your room fifteen minutes before the ball. See you then!" he said as he walked away.
I ran up into my room and got ready for the ball. I was happy that at least Kyle would be there with me. It wouldn't be as bad with him there to laugh with.
When I got into my room, I quickly dressed into a burgundy red dress that was one of my favorites and started to do my hair.
After I was ready to go, I opened my book that mother had given me that had fairy tales in it. It was a large book that she said that Mandy had give to her when she went off to boarding school when she was younger.
I loved reading the stories in it, but I had never seen anything other than the stories until that day when something else was in the book. It was a journal entry. The journal of Knight Sir Kylen of Frell, Kyrria. I still remember every word to this day. It went like this-
Dear Journal,
It was a far better and more eventful day than I thought it would be today. In the morning I was surprised when a young maiden came in kicking and screaming through the main doors, being dragged by my uncle, Sir Jonathan. I had no clue who she was, but then we found out later that it was Princess Hailena from Frell. She had come to find her parents in the forest. She apparently had wandered in the forest for five years and found herself here. She only had a fairy backpack, that she never used, and two horses with her. I still do not know how she survived. She is a very tough girl, though. She didn't take anything from my uncle. She was so mad that she broke free from him and took out a sword and tried to fight him. They sword fought for a very long time and I knew my uncle was getting tired. She noticed too and decided to end the fighting. She got up on the banister in the front hall and kicked him right in the face. It knocked him out cold. I was surprised that she knew how to sword fight so well. Most girls around her don't even know how to dress themselves. They need maids to do it for them. Anyway, she then met her father in the hall, because he had come to see what all the commotion was. He came into the hall without saying a word, just watching his daughter take on my uncle. He seemed impressed and that isn't very common for King Charmont. He always picks the best of the best for anything. He came up to me later and asked if I thought his daughter was a good fighter. I said yes and he said that he was thinking of making Princess Hailey a teacher for the knights. I never knew that princesses were allowed to be shown weapons. King Charmont said that Hailey was a special case and that he thought that everyone should learn to use a sword. He said that it might come in handy one day in their life. I knew then that Hailey was a really good fighter when the king told me all of this. He said he did not expect Hailey to do the same daily chores as the other knights, but he was going to make her a knight. He said that it would help Kyrria very much. My Uncle didn't like this. He told me all about how this could ruin his reputation. He said that it was bad enough that Hailey had beat him in tournament, but also because if Hailey became a higher status than the normal knights, it would ruin him and everything that he had worked for. I don't think I care much about my uncle. If he weren't so headstrong, he probably would have noticed how good of a knight that Hailey would make. She really was very good. After that, I went to give Hailey her bag and we talked for a little bit. She was a very funny girl. She told me all about her adventure in the forest and about how the city of Frell was after the king and queen left. She was just like Queen Ella and King Charmont. She turned everything into a joke and only got serious when necessary. It's odd for me to say, but I think I might fancy her. She is only a couple years younger than me and she is not like any other girl I have met in my life. I'm not sure, though. Tonight is the ball and I am going to be taking her. She seems to like me as well, but I am not sure she feels the same as I do about her. It seemed like I liked her from the first time I saw her. I felt horrible for her when my uncle dragged her into the door. She seemed so afraid, though later she fought without fear. I remember I was about to ask my uncle to let her go when she tore away from him and pulled out a sword. Angry ran though her eyes and I knew how she felt. My uncle could be very cruel at times. I saw her at dinner tonight. I don't think she noticed me, though. She had quite a fight with my uncle at the table. It was spectacular. I should comment that to her later. I am about to go to her room now. I am very nervous. Her father seemed to be pleased when I told him I would escort Hailey to the ball. I am leaving now.
And that was all he wrote. Five minutes later he showed up at my door, ready to go. I was even more nervous then ever before, because I knew he liked me and part of me felt the same way, though I was not sure. As we walked to the stairs, Kyle said to me, "Did I mention how beautiful you look?" I smiled and said, "No and if you are implying that I do look beautiful, then thank you, Sir Kyle." He smiled back and said, "Remember, just call me Kyle." With that, we walked arm in arm to the stairs.
*Short chapter, but I really wanted to get it out. I think I might add more, later. Kyle's got a crush on Hailey! Lol. More later. See Ya!
P.S.- I need a Beta reader. Please IM me at littlester08 or email me at littlester@rock.com if you want to. It seems I have a bit of. okay. a big problem with grammar. Lol. It would be such a help, since I am really bad a revising. I always miss something. Lol.
