It's a little too long... I guess? You can skip the first 3 quater of the chapter, cuz it's all nonsense :) There's a lot of spelling and grammar errors (again) here. Sorry.
Enjoy
Love Story
Chapter 6:
"Good morning, Father and Mother," Rachel greeted.
"You seemed happy today," Queen Arella smiled.
"Oh... It's nothing."
"Kori, bring Rachel her breakfast," Queen Arella ordered.
"No thanks, I had my breakfast earlier. Can I visit the city?"
"Why?" King Trigon butted in.
"Just visiting the citizens... as usual. And I won't be home until night time," Rachel tried to convince her stubborn father.
"So soon?" King Trigon started to doubt, "They'd just met you yesterday."
"Uh... I..."
"Seeing the rat again isn't it?"
"No... I..."
"Darling," Queen Arella sighed. "There are so many princes in the world, but why? Why? You just have to choose him?"
"Then why? There are so many princes in the world, but why did you only forbid me to choose him? Anyway, we're just friends," Rachel crossed her arms.
"He kissed you—!"
"Almost. Almost kissed me," Rachel corrected.
"No," King Trigon smashed his fists on the table.
Queen Arella and Rachel turned to look at him. Even the servants were shocked.
"I said NO," King Trigon bellowed. "From now onwards, you are NOT allowed to step out of this palace without my permission."
"But Father—"
"In your room now!"
Rachel ran into her room and locked her door. She cried and buried her face in her pillow. Kori knocked on her door. However, she pretended that she had not heard her.
"Princess? I know you're in there. I just wanted to tell if you need someone to talk to, I'm always there for you."
Rachel stoppped sobbing and told Kori, "Kori, can you help me pass the message to Rob— I mean Richard that I am sorry."
Kori sighed and promised her. With that, she left the palace hurridly and headed to Gotham.,

"What? Did she tell you anything more?"
"I'm sorry, Prince Richard. Princess Rachel only told me that she is sorry."
"It must be the meeting tonight..." Prince Richard muttered under his breath.
"Yes?" Kori raised her brows.
"Um... It's nothing."
"Okay. I have to go back now, my lord does not know I'm visiting Gotham. Will you please excuse me?"
"Yes, yes. Sure," the young lad faked a smiled.
It must be Trigon. Or else how would Raven be sorry? Richard thought.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"Huh?" Richard turned around and saw King Bruce.
"Rachel isn't it?"
"No..." Richard trailed off.
"You like her."

Night began to fall. Raven was at the balcony again.
Richard sneaked in the palace without any guards noticing him. His first instinct was to go up the balcony.
"The balcony has a nice view of the city."
Rachel spun around, suprised by the voice.
"How... How did you know...?"
"Instincts... I guess," Richard stood beside her.
"I mean how did you get pass the guards?"
"I'm a street rat."
"A former street lad," Rachel looked at him, and their eyes met.
Richard chuckled, "Looks like everyone's right about you."
"What?"
"You're a fair princess who doesn't look down on anyone."
Rachel smiled and continued admiring the city. She started to moved closer to him and leaned her head on his shoulders.
"How's the present?"
"Good... Not that bad..." Rachel teased, her face betrayed no emotions.
Richard chuckled. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing... Just that, you don't sound like what you feel."
Rachel rolled her eyes, "Anyway, you have not told me when's your birthday, so I can give you a present."
"Hmm... It's already passed."
"Come on..." Rachel pouted.
"If you want to know... You'll have to..."
"That's not funny... hahahaha... Stop that..."
Richard smirked as he tickled Rachel. His agile fingers ran up and down her sides mercilessly.
"You know, you look cute when you smile."
Rachel stop laughing and look deep into Richard's eyes.
"Look, all I wanted to say is I..."
Queen Arella was standing at the stairs, watching the two teenagers the wole time, "Rachel Roth!"
The two birds turned to look at the enraged queen. She was... let's just say she was burning dangerously.
"Get down. Both of you!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my Queen," Richard took off his hat and bowed.
"Oh, stop flattering, you little... I told you not to meet my daughter again, and what are you doing? My patience has its limits, don't try and make me—"
"Mother!" Rachel glared at her mother.
"Get lost, you brat!"
"Mother! Even if you hate Prince Richard, at least show some respect to him!"
"Princess Rachel, it's okay. I'll go," Richard managed to put up a smile.
Rachel looked at Richard, tears brimmed her eyes. She fought very hard not to cry.
"Will you come back again?"
"Darling, just ignore the rat," Queen Arella's voice was filled with annoyance as she tapped her foot impatiently waiting for the adonis to leave. "He'll never come back."
Richard spared Rachel one last look. He went down the stairs.
"Please don't go..." Rachel whispered after Richard faded in her vision.
