A/N: Hey guys! I'm finally back! Sorry it took a little longer than expected. Also, be sure to read the note at the bottom. Enjoy!
Chapter 6:
Well, at less our minds can all rest in peace know that Prince Conner wasn't the 'barbarian' Fausta had originally thought him to be.
In fact, the second that she saw him through the window of the carriage, her face first twisted into shock at seeing the boy from the Inn (yeah, she's a bit slow), but it quickly melted away to reveal a goggle-eyed expression. You would get the impression that she liked what she saw.
I, on the other hand, was curious about how the prince found out where we were staying. We didn't tell anyone where we planning on staying, for obvious safety reasons. And what where the odds that he just happened to be staying there that night, and wandered over to find a spot across from me at breakfast?
As I got out of the carriage, a snobbish-looking, skinny, overdressed, weirdo (How's that for a description?) announced me in an oddly high-pitched voice. Must be a eunuch. Poor guy.
I curtsied smoothly, and waited for Fausta to come out of the trailer. I wondered if she was waiting to add a dramatic effect to the arrival of a green-haired maid.
When she finally stepped onto the ground, the eunuch coughed, as if trying to suggest something. I wonder what...
I walked up the stone steps of the castle to the group waiting at the top. King Fredric was there, along with Conner, and other advisors. The Queen, as I had found out, had died in childbirth.
King Fredric was not at all what I had imagined. He was tall, lean, grey-haired, and had the most unearthly yellow eyes, reminding me of a wolf.
"Princess Fausta," he addressed me. "It is good to see you arriving here safely. There was no trouble on the roads, I expect?" Despite his harsh look, his voice was surprisingly sincere. I wasn't quite sure what to think of him.
"No, Your Highness. Thank you for the concern. Our trip went quite smoothly," I informed him politely sweeping him another curtsy.
He shot another look at Fausta. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but is green hair fashionable in Kyrria now-a-days?"
I laughed. "No, Necia here, my maid, hit her head about a year ago and hasn't quite been normal since," I made a point of avoiding Fausta's glare.
"Ah," said the King, nodding as if that explained everything. "And this is my son, Conner," he said, waving his hand carelessly behind him.
"Yes," I said, looking at Conner with a smile. "We met earlier. How are you, Your Highness?" I asked him.
"Please call me Conner," he said returning my smile. "And, I thought you were headed to your Uncle's farm," he added with an amused expression.
I smiled sheepishly. It appeared that he was going to say something else, although we were interrupt by the King.
"Sense there is no doubt that your are tired from your trip, Gus will show you and your servants to your rooms. I'm sure you will find them comfortable. A servant will notify you of dinner."
"Thank you, your highness," I replied, and then after a finial curtsy, I was lead away.
A/N: Sorry this one was so short. However, I can't continue until I hear from you guys. There are two directions that this story can go, and I want to know what you guys would prefer. (A.K.A.: a poll)
Option # 1: The direction leads to some war-type action, along with some romance, and humor. It would look into the possible war between Allassia and Kyrira.
Option # 2: This option is much more peaceful than the first, although there would be plenty of conflicts. It would be a bit more on the romance said, although I would try to add plenty of humor.
Well, know that that has been said, lets move on to the responses to reviews! I want to thank everyone for their reviews, and their support!
