Dinner had come and gone rather quickly. They had dined with the king and his family, along with the duke and his family. The duke's daughter, in Riley's eyes was very into herself. She had black hair, light blue eyes, and was very skinny. Not to mention beautiful. Her name was Felicity. The entire meal she had sat by, and spoken to, Peter, not even paying attention to anyone else. At one point in the evening, Riley wanted to jump over the table and beat her to a bloody pulp. But, Edmund had grabbed her hand underneath the table and restrained her.

Riley walked back to her room and laid down on her bed. There was a knock on the door and when Riley sat up, Peter walked in.

"I just wanted to say goodnight," he told her.

"Goodnight," Riley said with a hint of anger as she laid back down and turned over so her back was to Peter. Peter sighed and walked over to the bed. He sat down next to Riley and rubbed her back.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"Riley, we've had enough fights that I can tell when you're angry." Peter said. "Is it Lady Felicity?" Riley sat up and turned to face Peter.

"Of course it is. She was practically flirting with you at dinner and you didn't stop her." Riley told him.

"I was just being polite."

"Yes, and the next thing you know, she'll be wanting you to take her horseback riding or take a stroll," Riley replied. Peter just looked at her before leaning in and giving her a light kiss on the lips.

"The only woman I would ever do either of those things with is the one I'm looking at right now." he told her. Riley smiled and placed her lips on Peter's. Peter wrapped his arms around Riley's waist and gently laid her down on the bed. He was now on top of her and the kiss deepened. Riley felt her body tremble as Peter broke the kiss only to trace butterfly kisses along her neck. Riley let out a little moan, wanting the experience to go further. However, Peter stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes.

"I better let you get some rest." he said. Peter began to sit up but Riley grabbed his shirt, pulled him back down, and kissed him once more.

"You know, you could stay here tonight," Riley pointed out.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea," Peter replied.

"It'll save you a lot of walking."

"Yes, those few steps from you're room are a killer," Peter joked.

"Definitely," Riley replied. Peter laughed and kissed her again, before rolling off of her. He laid on his side and wrapped an arm around Riley. She turned over so she was on her side facing Peter. She scooted closer and nuzzled into his chest. Slowly, they both drifted to sleep.

When Riley woke up in the morning, she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her. She turned over and found Peter, still fast asleep. She slowly removed herself from his grip, careful not to wake him. She grabbed a robe and put it on. She looked around and finally realized that there was a balcony.

"That just proves how blonde I am," she said to herself as she opened the door and walked onto the balcony. She leaned against the railing and looked at the city. It was completely different from Cair Paravel. Everything seemed to be more dim. The people dressed in darker clothes and acted as if there wasn't anything to be happy about.

"I know what you're thinking," Peter said as he walked up beside her.

"And what am I thinking?" Riley asked.

"That you should have stayed in bed," Peter answered. Riley smiled and turned to look at him.

"And why's that?"

"Because you knew that I would be upset to wake up and find you gone." Peter told her.

"I'm sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?" Riley asked. Peter smiled, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. He leaned in and gave her a kiss. Riley snaked her arms around his neck, and the kiss deepened.

They quickly pulled away when the bedroom door opened. Edmund stepped in and knew that was the wrong thing to do.

"Oh, uh, sorry. I'll just leave." he stuttered. Peter let go of Riley and walked off the balcony, back into the room.

"No, it's alright. I have a meeting with Lune this morning." Peter said. He gave Riley a smile before leaving the room. Riley walked into the room and shut the balcony doors before walking over to Edmund.

"What do you need?" Riley asked.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to take a stroll through Anvard today," Edmund answered.

"That would be lovely." Riley told him. Edmund smiled.

"Good. So, get ready, we'll go get some breakfast. And after that, our walk," Edmund said. He gave her another smile before leaving the room.

A few minutes later Riley was ready and left her room. She found Edmund leaning against the wall by her door. He stood up straight when he saw Riley.

"You ready?" he asked.

"Would I be out here if I wasn't?" Riley pointed out. Edmund smiled and they both headed toward the dining hall. They walked in a found King Lune, Peter, the Duke, and Felicity. Felicity was once again sitting next to Peter. Lune was joking with Peter and Felicity laughed.

My god, she has such an annoying laugh. Riley thought. Like a hyena on crack.

"Just stay calm." Edmund whispered. Riley gave him a small smile before sitting across from Peter and Felicity. Felicity glared at Riley and Riley returned the glare. She then turned her attention toward Peter.

"So, Peter, did you sleep well last night?" Riley asked. Edmund nearly choked on the water he was drinking, trying not to laugh.

"Yeah, Pete, how was last night?" Ed asked. Peter just gave him a mean look, but whipped it off his face when he saw Riley was waiting for his answer.

"Oh well, I don't know. Did you sleep well?" he asked in a flirty way.

"How could I not?" Riley replied. They exchanged smiles before eating breakfast. Felicity glared at Riley again before eating. Riley tried so hard to get Peter to talk to her, but Felicity kept interrupting them.

"Peter, I should take you on a tour of Anvard today. It's a lovely city," Felicity said. Peter didn't know what to say. He turned and looked at Riley who gave him a told-you-so look.

"That would nice, but I have business to attend to," Peter told her.

"Oh, nonsense. I'm sure you can take off one day of work," Felicity insisted.

"Yes Peter, I'm sure taking one day off isn't going to kill you," Riley said. Peter looked at her, baffled by what she said.

"Hey, Peter, Riley and I were going to tour the city. I'm sure you and Lady Felicity would like to join us." Edmund added.

"I suppose so," Felicity said, rather snobby. "What do you say Peter?"

"Sure, that sounds great." Peter told them.

After breakfast, the four of them headed outside. Felicity quickly insisted that Peter escort her, so Riley linked arms with Edmund. The two of them walked behind Peter and Felicity. Felicity talked nonstop the entire morning. But, what was disturbing to Riley was that Peter began to flirt with her.

After a while of listening to Peter and Felicity flirting, Riley decided to get back at him.

"Edmund, you know what you be fun?" Riley asked, loud enough for Peter to hear.

"What?" Ed replied.

"If you and I would go horseback riding this afternoon."

"Just you and I?" Edmund asked, realizing what Riley was doing.

"Yes, and then maybe you could come to my room after supper, I have a wonderful view to watch the sun set." Riley told him. Peter slightly turned his head to listen to Riley and Edmund.

"That would be great," Edmund told her.

"Riley, I need to talk to you," Peter said. They all stopped walking and stared at Peter. Felicity was the one who was most stunned.

"Uh, of course," Riley said. Peter let go Felicity and he quickly grabbed Riley's arm and forced her to follow him.

"What was that about?" Felicity asked. Edmund just laughed.

"That is Riley and Peter's relationship. And trust me when I say that if you try to interfere, you'll be sorry," Edmund told her.

"Is that a threat?" Felicity asked.

"Maybe," Edmund replied. He smirked at her before walking away.
