Chapter 5

The Tundra Kingdom Visit

Eadric's POV

I was hoping Emma and her friends were here. I was looking from the stairs to get a view of the entrance. Apparently my brother was standing next to me, he was the only part of my life I didn't get to tell Emma about yet and he is also the second person I trust with my secrets. "Little brother why are you up here? Its your birthday go down there and have some fun…wait your waiting for the princess aren't you?" "Yes Romeo. I'm waiting for her. I want to see her enter the door before going down there." "I go down and meet her and tell her that you want to see her." "Are you sure? I didn't tell her about you yet." "Don't worry I just tell her who I am. Is that her?" "Yes! She is here!" "Okay you wait here and I go to her." I was filled with joy that she was here and my heart was overflowing because she was so beautiful.

Emma's POV

I was amazed by everything. I saw other princesses here and Eadric's friends (the ones he told me about). Ginger tapped on my shoulder and looked at a floatzel that was walking towards us. "Is your name Emma?" "Yes sir." "I am Prince Romeo; the older brother of Prince Eadric. He told me about you but you can trust me and he told me he didn't tell you about me yet. I take you to him." He told me to go up stairs to see Eadric. When I saw him I felt my heart skip a beat. He looked very handsome and it made me wish I could marry him. "I'm so glad you and your friends got to come and you got to meet my brother." "I'm happy to be here too." We both smiled at each other then I saw two floatzels. "Emma, this is my father King Wallace and my mother Queen Wanda." "Eadric who is your friend?"

"Mother, father, and Romeo; this is Emma."

"Well Emma, welcome to the party. You and your friends can help yourselves to some food and beverages." Eadric and I went back down stairs, Ginger walked up to us to tell us something but before she did, she looked around for some reason. "Eadric, is you brother single?" "Yes…why did you ask me that?" "I…think he is…cute." "You think I'm cute?" Romeo followed us down stairs and he was able to hear Ginger whisper. "Yes I think your cute." "Thank you, I think your cute too." "Really?" I never saw Ginger so happy before. "Well fair maiden, my I have this dance?" "Yes!" Eadric and I were happy for those two. "They make a cute couple don't they?" "Yes they do Eadric." "I didn't say anything." "Yes, you didn't but I did!" Eadric and I turned around and saw a smeargle. I knew it was Toby, one of Eadric's friends; Eadric told me Toby likes joking around with others and mainly loves hiking and mountain climbing with his father. "Hold on a second…you're the grassland kingdom princess!" "How do you know I'm the princess!" "You are? No, no, no, I'm just joking but…you do look like her which is why I wanted to prank you. Sorry for scaring you for that bless your face." Eadric and I enjoy our time together, he personal introduced me to the rest of his friends, some of the villagers he knows, and Nana, a nice simipour who took care of him when he was a baby.

I saw Ginger having a good time with Romeo and Ruby meeting the rest of Duke's friends and family. I saw an ampharos talking to Eadric's father and something about him was familiar. His tunic was blue and the collar and sleeves were edged in gold thread and it was as if I seen it before. I wanted to take a closer look and saw his green eyes then looked at the emblem on his tunic. The emblem was a lightning bolt with a braviary on it; then I realized that it was Arthur. "Eadric? Can you tell Duke to take me home?" "Why? Is anything wrong?" "I see someone I don't see until next week." "Who?" "He is talking to your…" "Emma is that you?" "Hello Arthur…what are you doing here?" "I was invited to come to Eadric's party. What are you doing here and do your parents know?" "Arthur my friend, I invited Emma and I will get her back home safely. Emma my I talk to you in private?" Eadric takes my hand into his, pulled me up the stairs into his room, and closed the door behind him. "I didn't know you knew Arthur. He is a good friend of mine." "I didn't want to tell you about because my father wants me to marry him." Eadric looked as is he was heartbroken. "Do you love him? I just want to know if you love him or not." Eadric was looking down and was crying then I found out something else that Eadric hasn't told me. "Do you love me?" "Yes, I always loved you, and I couldn't live without seeing you. When you saved me and my friends, I couldn't help myself and that's why I kissed you."

I was surprised and happy that he loved me so I kissed him and it surprised him. "Why did you kiss me?" "Because, you're the sweetest person I've ever meet and…I love you too." I couldn't explain how happy I was to be with Eadric but I knew I wouldn't think of anything else that would make me happier. In the doorway we both saw Nana, she told both of us to be together but to be careful not to let our parents know of our relationship. Eadric and I stayed alone in his room and ended up falling asleep in his arms. I woke up in my room and saw note on my nightstand from Eadric.

My Dear sweet Emma,

I brought you home instead of waking you up. Ginger and Ruby have returned home safely and I want to know if I could bring you back to my kingdom.

Sincerely,

Your beloved Eadric
