10th Princess

Chapter 4: Revenge and Breaking Hearts

Authors Note: Hey! I would really love to have some reviews, as they do keep me motivated to write some more. :3 I am trying to get chapters up asap, seeing as I haven't updated in forever, kinda making up for it. That and I am totally stoked.

"I rather liked Leanna." Tony told Wendell the next morning. Wendell shook his head at Tony.

"You didn't have to listen to her talk all night. All she talked about was her stupid dress, or her stupid idiot friends and what they where wearing. Honestly Tony, could you imagine sharing a bed with a lady who has nothing important to talk about. She probably doesn't even read!" Wendell sat down in his chair, frustrated.

"I didn't listen to you're conversation. You know, Priestly is rather cute and funny." Tony grinned a bit, he liked talking to her last night, maybe it was because she actually listened to his story and laughed at his jokes.

"She is to young for you, Tony." Wendell said, rather quickly. Tony grinned.

"I noticed you watching her most of the night." Tony told him.

"I was just making sure she was fitting in and doing fine." Wendell told him, making up an excuse. He knew the rules of marriage, he could only marry someone who was from a Royal family. Priestly was an average girl in her Kingdom.

"Sure." Tony joked with him. Wendell rolled his eyes at Tony and they began talking more about his choices with the Princess that where there.

When Priestly woke up that morning, she found a note under her door in her room. She moved to get the note before she got ready for the day. Looking at the time, it was about 7 in the morning, and the sun was fully out. She looked down at the note and opened it, reading:

Dear Priestly;

Good morning. After last night, I realized that I would like to get to know you much more. Please join me for a lunch date today. I would very much appreciate seeing you once again. I will pick you up from your room around noon.

Sincerely,

Prince Jasper.

Priestly left the note on the table right next to her bed as she wondered. She thought that Jasper was cute, however, she didn't see that much in his personality. Why not give him a chance though. She had time before they would leave, she got ready for the day, and looked in the closet. There was a blue and white dress, very day casual looking. She chose to wear that. Priestly left her hair down, and left the room she was in.

"Hey Priestly." A ladies voice called out as Priestly moved down the hallway, behind her she saw Virginia in a plain blue dress, similar style to Priestly's.

"Morning Virginia." Priestly smiled her. Virginia moved up to her and they made their way downstairs to eat breakfast. Even though there was no set time for Breakfast, Virginia, Tony, Wolf, and Wendell always ate around the same time.

As they walked into the dinning hall she saw that Wolf and Tony where both sitting next to Wendell, that lady wasn't there. She smiled at them as she sat on the other side of Tony, across from Virginia.

"Good morning." They men greeted them a good morning as they sat down. Tony, Wendell, and Wolf seemed to be in a discussion about what was going to happen today. It seemed that Wendell was going out on a carriage ride with Leanna, the girl that Priestly assumed sat next to him last night.

"Virginia." Priestly kept her voice low so only the people around them could hear her. Virginia looked at her.

"What?" She asked.

"What do you know of Prince Jasper?" Priestly asked, wanting to get all the information she could on him.

Wendell nearly choked on his eggs as he heard Priestly bring up Jasper once again. He listened to their conversation as he tried to keep up with the one about Leanna. However, as Priestly and Virginia talked, he learned that Priestly also had a lunch date with Jasper today. Wendell held back a frown as he left the girl's conversation and rather quickly finished his food, so he could leave the table.

"Excuse me." He told them, as he stood up and left, Wolf and Tony leaving right behind him.

Priestly frowned when Wendell left. However, she felt a little better talking about Jasper when Wendell was gone. Virginia didn't know a lot, except that he was a Prince from the 1st Kingdom, Cinderella's Great Grandson. He seemed nice, although she mentioned that he maybe a flirt.

"Well it is not every day that a girl from New York gets asked out on a date with a Prince from a strange kingdom. I think I have to go on this date." She told Virginia, smiling. They both laughed a little as they ate their eggs and bacon. Once they finished, Priestly followed Virginia out of the dinning hall. "So what really happened?" Priestly asked. Virginia started at the beginning of the story of how she saved the 9 kingdoms, with the help of her father and Wolf. In fact, it was mostly Wolf that saved everyone. Priestly smiled as they both walked around the castle. Before she knew it, she realized it was 11:30. Making her goodbye's to Virginia, Priestly made her way to her room. Passing a few servants along the way, she got lost in a hallway. She hadn't seen another person down this hallway.

"Nonono." Priestly said, looking at her watch she only have 15 more minutes. After a few more seconds a door opened, and King Wendell came out of the room. Priestly gasped, silently and wondered if she should hide, or not. However, Wendell turned around and looked at her, making her smile slightly, and blush. "I... er... well I got lost." She told him. Her face a bright red color now, embarrassed to be found by Wendell. "I'm supposed to be in my room in just a few minutes." She frowned, not wanting to explain why.

"Oh you're room isn't far from here. Let me walk you there." Wendell told her, Priestly hid her smile as she walked next to Wendell. "We haven't heard back from the dwarves. I hope you do not mind if you are stuck here for a while longer." Wendell told her, looking down at her for a second as they walked.

"I don't mind. It's sort of like a nice vacation." She told him, smiling up at him. After a few more seconds, and a few turns down some hallways, they made it back to Priestly's room. "Thank you so much." She told him, wondering if she should bow or something. However, Wendell just smiled at her, and walked off. She opened the door and went into her room.

Jasper noticed Wendell in front of Priestly's door. He kind of smirked as he started putting some things together in his mind. It seemed the King had a crush on a little someone. Finally, something I can steal from Wendell to prove he's not better then me. How nice would it be to crush his hopes of being with a girl he likes. Jasper hid until Wendell walked by. He them smiled politely and walked to Priestly's door.

When she heard a knock on the door, Priestly's heart leaped in the air. Not because she thought it was Jasper, no, because she hoped that Wendell would have come back for her. However, when she opened the door, she smiled brightly to hide the small dissapointment in her eyes.

"Good afternoon Lady Priestly." Jasper took her hand, making her blush, and leaned down to kiss it. He kept a hold of her hand gently and moved her down the hallway. She followed him out to the front door. She saw the carriage and smiled, apparently they where going to travel and talk a bit. "There's a lovely resteraunt just a city east of here. I wanted to show you some of the country side, and stop there to eat and then take another route back to here."

"Oh that sounds so lovely." She told him, smiling at him brightly as he helped her in the carriage. Which, honestly, was awkward to get into since it was her first time, and it didn't have handles like a truck would. She blushed as Jasper sat next to her, and the door closed, the carriage now moving away.

Wendell looked out the window, not believing that Priestly was going on a date. He watched as the carriage took off, then turned around and went to pick up his date. Leanna looked much like a model, her blonde hair in perfect curls, and a pink dress that accented her blue eyes a bit. She was beautiful, however, Wendell wasn't even thinking about her as he picked her up.

Priestly looked out the carriage and smiled at Jasper as he pointed things out, holding her hand. Holding hands with him was starting to become less awkward of Priestly seemingly getting used to it. Somehow something didn't sit right with her the whole time though. She giggled a little bit when he told jokes, even if she didn't understand them.

It took only half an hour to get to the restaurant. The place very elegant, and it seemed that Jasper spared no expense.

"I hope you like our date so far." Jasper told her, helping her in her seat, then moving to his seat on the other side of the table. Priestly smiled brightly at him.

"I love it. You've been so kind to me." She told him as he smiled brighter. "I've never been treated so well in my life actually." She told him the truth.

"Really?" He asked, his face seeming to change to a curios expression.

"Well, the customs in my world are much different. Usually less expensive. However, I really do like this better then the customs at home. Seems that chivalry was lost in my land a long time ago." She explained as he leaned in a little more, seeming to be very interested in her. She blushed at the attention, and food soon came.

Just as they began eating, and Jasper started talking about a hunting trip that somehow tied into the conversation they where having before, Priestly was distracted by what appeared in the doorway. King Wendell and Princess Leanna showed up. Priestly felt her heart leap, and then seemingly fall into a million pieces as she saw Wendell with her one again. However, she took her eyes away from Wendell and back to Jasper.

"In my world, you have to have a special permit to hunt." She explained to him how most of their food was breed in large barns, and sold cheap in markets. He frowned, not liking that idea. "It makes sense if you have a lot of people living in a small area though, not everyone can hunt their own food." She explained. Soon they finished their lunch, and they where off again.. Priestly avoided even looking in Wendell's direction as she sighed leaving. She knew it was to good to be true, of course in no time they would have her home anyways. The ride home was a little more quiet, as Jasper and Priestly both contemplated a few things that where said. It was nice to talk to someone who actually could make a good argument.

"It was a pleasure to get to know you more." Priestly told Jasper happily as they made her way back to her room. She smiled as he only kissed her hand again, leaving her to whatever else she had planned for that day, which was surprisingly nothing. Priestly decided a walk through the castle would be good, although now that she was alone, her thoughts kept wandering to the one thing she didn't want to think about: Wendell.
