April 3,1872
The past few days have been beyond wild, but I would not want them to be any other way. I was not able to write about my adventures in to town immediately after I returned, for I was to directly go to Father and tell him about my visit with Prince Kurt Angle. I told lie after lie, and my disgusting Father ate it right up. I had to obey orders obediently for the next few days, just so nobody in the castle would get suspicious. I still remember the day oh so well. It was the first of April and I was disguised as a simple peasant, complete with ragged clothing and bare feet. I was able to escape the castle safely, with the help of Matt, my horrible brother's archery teacher, and a fellow servant of the McMahon castle. The moment I stepped out on to the street, I felt free. Sure, I was never to reveal who I was.
After browsing a couple of the market stalls for a moment, I witnessed Christopher Jericho and his father carrying a barrel towards where the town festivities were going on. With the excitement flowing through my body like a speedy river, I followed. My eyes were aglow and my heart was pounding as I watched his shiny blonde hair gleam in the sunlight. Though he was of a lower class, he looked simply stunning to me. I kept my distance, making sure that he would not notice me as I hid behind another farmer who was carrying a stack of hay. I heard the music from afar and it brought joy to my ears! Oh, the music we heard in the castle was such a bore! I was so happy to hear the music, played from a wonderful band. People were in the middle of the streets, dancing merrily. I caught sight of Christopher again, tapping his toes along to the music with a bright smile on his face. As soon as I saw his wonderful grin, I felt as if I were floating on air. Then something grand happened. Christopher Jericho, with his beautiful blue eyes and golden blonde hair, approached me. I smiled shyly, trying to hide my face with my shawl. He stepped up and greeted me. "Good day, Miss. My name is Christopher Jericho. Why is it that I have not seen you in town before?"
His voice was breath taking. I couldn't help but stare dreamily at him before answering. "It is because I am just a mere visitor, Christopher. I am visiting a cousin here and she has told me about this festival. It is really too bad that my cousin is at home, nursing her sick infant."
"That is too bad. Would you like to dance?" He asked, extending his hand towards mine. I nodded, taking his hand as he led me to the center of the street. Placing his arm around me, he began to lead and I started to follow. In a matter of seconds, we were dancing. I felt as if I were in another world! The music was fabulous and just being in Christopher's arms made me feel like a new woman. After dancing to a few songs, we decided to take a break and started on a walk.
As we walked, I began to like him even more. We talked about such things as our hobbies. He told me that in his spare time, he enjoyed riding horses. I, too, enjoyed riding horses. I just never told him that my horses were in the royal stable, in the heavily gated land of the McMahon castle. I learned more and more about him, which made me want to love him even more. I felt so comfortable around him, and I yearned to tell him who I really was, but I knew that I could not do such a thing. If I did, my Father would chop off my head and use it as decoration for our castle walls! I had not even told him my name yet, but he hadn't seemed to remember that he did not know it.
Finally, day began to turn in to night. Before I even knew it, I looked at the town clock and it was a quarter to midnight. It was time to bid farewell to the wonderful Christopher. We were seated together on the bridge overlooking the river. The sky was littered with the most beautiful shining stars I had ever seen in my life. Christopher looked over at me and brushed a piece of my chestnut brown hair out of my eyes. "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met in my life." He said to me.
I was overflowing with glee. "Thank you, Christopher. You are, indeed, the most handsome boy I have ever met in my life." I replied.
"I have yet to have learned your name, Miss." He brought up. I looked at the clock once again and realized that I needed to get back to the castle. I stood up quickly, and so did he.
"I must leave. My cousin told me to come home by midnight." I lied. It broke my heart to know that I was not telling him the truth.
"Please, tell me your name." He pleaded. I bit my bottom lip, trying my hardest not to tell him that I was Princess Stephanie McMahon.
"I must leave." I repeated. "Good-bye, Christopher." I bid farewell and turned around to leave when I felt a strong arm grab on to mine.
"Wait." He said to me, pulling my body close to his. He gazed at me for a moment before closing his eyes and planting a soft and romantic kiss on my lips. I closed my eyes also, taking in to the most blissful moment. Knowing that I had to get back to the castle, I broke the kiss and rushed off towards the streets. "Good-bye! I hope to see you again!" Christopher yelled as I dashed down the street.
All I could do was think of him, but I knew that it was my duty to get to the castle in time. Thankfully, I had gotten there in time and Funaki was outside, waiting to open the back gate for me. After I had snuck back in to my bedroom chamber safely, Lita dressed me in my regular nightgown. I had promised her to tell her all about my journey and ask my Father for permission for her and Matt to take the day off the next morning. After she left the bedroom chamber, I looked out the window and gazed up at the stars. Oh, the heavenly stars. They reminded me so much of Christopher. My heart feels empty now that I have not seen him since our kiss. Oh, how I wanted to continue that kiss!
Later
I have finally gotten an answer from the plea I made with my Father a few days prior. I had begged him for Lita and Matt to take a day off from their duties to spend some time together. They are able to do so, under one condition. I must go spend the day at the castle of Prince Kurt Angle of Olympic Champions. The things I do for my friends!
