Author's note: So…I decided that I'm going to continue this and stop writing "An agent in disguise". I'll continue "An agent in disguise" when I'm done with this story. Thanks for the reviews :D

Royal Animals

"Hello Sara." Said Hank

"Hello Hank. Wait, you and Prince Gil's dog have the same name?"

"Yep. Now, this is Nazlyn. She is your horse. She loves oats, and she loves being patted. She senses it whenever someone unkind goes near her…and whenever somebody attacks her owner, she protects her owner by kicking the bad guy." Said Hank.

Sara smiled. Finally somebody was willing to protect me. Sara was happy even though that somebody that was willing to protect me was a horse.

"You could ride her if you want. Do you know how to ride a horse?" asked Hank

"I do."

At that moment, Prince Gil went inside the stable and went towards his horse. Sara and the other stable boys bowed down to him.

"Hello Sara. Are you going to ride your horse?" asked Grissom

"I will, your highness." Sara said.

Sara climbed the horse with ease. She was just about to ride her horse when Hank asked her something.

"Hey Sara…do you want to go to a date?" Hank asked

Sara smiled. "I'd love to…I'll see if I have the time."

Prince Gil and Sara rode their horses while making small talk.

"So your highness, I do believe that I don't know that much about you." Sara said

"Well, there's not much to learn about me. I love reading, I love my dog, I love my friends, I love bugs, and I love learning."

"We have the same things in common…except for the; I love bugs part."

Grissom smiled. He was starting to be at ease around Sara. Sara also started to be at ease around the prince.

"Want to race?" asked Sara

"Sure." Said Grissom confidently. No one could beat him when it came to racing horses. Nobody…except Isabelle. He and Isabelle were equals when it came to horse racing. Sometimes he would win…sometimes she was the one who won. Grissom sighed. He missed Isabelle.

After a few minutes, the race was finished. Grissom was shocked because Sara had won.

"What—Ho—how…?" stuttered Grissom

Sara chuckled. "Whoa…tongue-tied?"

"How did you beat me?" asked Grissom

"Well…You don't know this but I'm a good horseback rider." Said Sara

"That was pretty much obvious. I'm asking how…not…okay…never mind." Said Grissom

Sara grinned. "You know, Prince Gil? I think you need some medicine."

Grissom sighed. How come Sara can easily make him stutter? Sara reminded him a lot about Isabelle. Isabelle joked like her…Isabelle smiled like her…

Grissom shook his head. No. This is Sara. Isabelle was long gone.

"Okay. Sara…you'll start working tomorrow…am I correct?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Then you probably need to take a tour of my room. You also need to get to know Hank."

"Hank…Peddigrew? I think I've already met him."

"No…not him. Hank…as in my dog, Hank."

"Oh, okay."

With that said, both of them went back to the stables, left their horses, and went to Prince Gil's room.

"Okay…Now, be careful…my dog is in there. You must make a good first impression so that he won't bite." Said Grissom

"Okay Prince Gil." Said Sara

Grissom opened the door. Hank, the dog, immediately jumped towards Sara, causing her and Hank to fall on the floor.

"Ouch…that hurts."

"That's strange…"

"What's strange?"

"Hank often barks at people he doesn't know…This is strange…Has he met you before?" asked Grissom

"No…I haven't met him before."

"Then this is strange. He barked at me when I first met him…He barked at my parents, my brother…my friends…even at Isabelle." Said Grissom

"Isabelle?"

"The girl I loved since our childhood…The princess of Kysria."

"Oh. So I've heard…your true love…isn't she?"

"Yes…she was…still is."

Sara continued to pat the dog. The dog rolled over on its back and Sara tickled Hank. Grissom smiled. No one ever got close to the dog this easily. Little did he know, Sara was hurting inside. She was hurt that not only could they never be, Grissom was also in love with a princess who was gone. Sara sighed. She never saw anybody who was this dedicated to a woman.

"Okay...That is my closet...once in a while I might go away and therefore, I might need you to fetch me my clothes. That is my desk. Never touch it...unless I say so. That is my bathroom, and that is my bookcase. Sometimes I might need you to fetch books for me.

"Oh."

"That's all...I think. Also, since you are my personal maid, you are the one to feed Hank. Feed him food three times a day."

"Yes milord."

"Okay...I think Dorothy might need to speak with you."

"Yes your highness."

With that, Sara left.

"Okay...Sara, you have your own room. This is your closet...That is your bed...That is your study table...This is fine, isn't it?" asked Dorothy

"Yes...it is. Thank you Dorothy" said Sara.

"Well...you'll start working tomorrow. Your possessions are already here. Dinner will be in half an hour. In the meantime, I'll give you a tour of the castle."

"Alright...Let's go." said Sara
