Chapter Three

"This is a very comfy couch." Liam said.

Jamie had to laugh at that.

Going down to the dinning hall, Jamie looked to the tables. And as expected, Hannah was sitting at a table with 7 other young men flirting and laughing.

"You and your sister don't get along much do you?" Liam asked.

"No we don't we never have." Jamie said. "She has always been crazy about men and I have always been the odd ball in the family."

"So I suppose you won't want to sit at the table." Liam said.

"Why do you always sit with my sister?" Jamie asked interested now.

Liam cleared his throat and looked uncomfortable.

"You didn't court her did you?" Jamie looked dumbstruck

"It was a few years ago when you hadn't come yet." Liam said.

"And what does my coming out have to do with anything?" Jamie asked.

"Are you hungry? Because I'm starved!" Liam said changing the subject.

"Yes food." Jamie said looking sideways at Liam.

"Liam!" A young man about the same age as Liam called from the table Hannah was sitting at.

"Ah Cade, my boy!" Liam said striding over to the dreaded table. Jamie followed him looking at the only other female at the table. This was going to be one hell of a dinner.

"Hello Jamie how are you?" Hannah asked. In that snotty voice Jamie knew so well

Blushing, Jamie sat down in a vacant seat and Liam sat next to her with 2 trays.

"Boys this is Hannah's younger sister, Jamie." Liam introduced. "Jamie this is Cade, Kole, Vince and you know Hannah." Liam pointed to each one.

"It's not polite to point, Liam." Hannah said.

"Like you know anything about manners, Hannah." Vince said

Hannah gasped and turned away acting hurt.

"Aww come on, baby, I didn't mean it. You're the best Lady at the court. And every one knows it." Kole said.

"Don't call me baby, I'm not an infant!" Hannah snapped back.

"We didn't mean in Hannah, You're the prettiest at court. We can't help calling you those names, Sugar lips." Cade said putting an arm around Hannah.

"Well if you go to the spring carnival with me, I'll forgive you, Cade." Hannah said in that charming voice that had captured so many noble men's hearts.

"Of course, my princess!" Cade said. "I would never go with anyone else?"

Hannah smiled at Jamie. "I always get my way"

Jamie looked at Liam like she wanted to barf. "This is why I don't like my sister" Jamie whispered to Liam.

"Why she's just acting like a regular young eligible lady." Liam replied.

"Exactly." Jamie whispered back.

"So what have you been up to Jamie" Hannah asked. In the sweet voice that the men all knew

"Oh the usual, reading the library, exploring the royal forest." Jamie answered in a small voice.

"Of course, I don't see you in the library at all though." Hannah said.

Jamie blushed. "I make a point of avoiding you, dear sister."

The whole table went quiet. The sisterly love scheme was blown

"You are such a pain in the ass!' Hannah whispered harshly "Why can't you act like every other normal girl?"

Jamie got up from the table. "Thank you for inviting me to dinner, Liam, but I just can't stay here." And with that Jamie left the dinning hall and headed towards the stables to get her horse. After saddling the horse, Jamie rode out through the main gates and into Corus. The Shady horse was an excellent place for dinner. Jamie had eaten there many times with various friends and acquaintances.

"Jamie! What are you doing here? I didn't know you were in the city!" Mrs. Kingston came from behind the counter.

"No I had a run in with my sister. And the youngest Prince asked me to spend tomorrow with him." Jamie said.

"You mean Prince Liam? Oh he's so handsome! You must bring him here tomorrow" Mrs. Kingston begged. Jamie

"We'll see, Mrs. Kingston. We'll see." Jamie laughed.

"What do you want for dinner, honey?" Mrs. Kingston asked

"How about just some potato soup? Jamie asked.

"Commin' right up, honey" Mrs. Kingston said. "And don't you think that I'm gonna let you pay for that."

"You never let me do." Jamie replied sitting down at a table.

"OF course I don't honey you're almost my daughter, and I would never let a daughter pay." Mrs. Kingston answered.
