Prince Matt had taken the traveller with him. He had just climbed back into the carriage after he had helped the girl, but now he was stuck, and he was stuck big time. If she wasn't moaning then she was falling all over him, now remember Matt barely has any contact at all with strange people. His father had always have servants that came to dinner or peasants to visit, but Matt all knew them well. If by the rare occasion it was an outsider, his parents would always speak for him or keep the conversation among the adults, so Matt always quietly listened, and did what he was told. This lady was a stranger, and even though hurt, she is still suspicious and dangerous.
The carriage hit a bump in the road and she yet again threw herself on him. He sat back and held his arms up, kinda like he didn't want to touch something so filthy, but we all know that's not the reason. He sat there wondering on what exactly to do, he wished his mother was there because she has all the solutions in the world, it seems like. Though Matt was on his own, and sadly he knew that he was going to have to make a decision and fast because he would be approaching the Whammy Kingdom soon.
He couldn't show up with a woman on the carriage, they would think something went on and never marry Princess Near to him. NEVER. He had to ditch her, but how and of course in the nicest way possible. He wasn't a monster, just and anti-social gamer who people seemed to always attract to. He could never understand why, yet his mother lays told him because he was so charming and lovable. He snickered at the mer thought.
They hit another bump and she yet threw herself into his lap and laying her head in his lap. This time her arms came up and held his legs. Now he was is deep, she was never going to let go. He had to talk to her even though that was the most frightful thought he could imagine, he definetly didn't want to speak with a stranger because he knew he would do something wrong and make a new enemy. That was the last thing he needed right now, especially after he is going to meet a princess.
Matt gulped and put his hands down and patted her on the head she returned with a moan of discomfort obviously over acting. He took a deep breath and began, "What happened? I mean...what happened...to you...out there?" She lifted her head a little to give him a puppy dog face, clearly he wasn't used to women hanging on him but she couldn't understand why. I mean he WAS quite handsome, "I was robbed," she started to whimper, "And they beat me when they had finally taken everything I had. They left me for dead."
She started to cry and hang on Matt's shoulders crying into his chest, he immediately stiffened but put weak arms to pat her gently on the back. She began to sob more, "And-and I could have if it wasn't for you. Thank you, ummmm?" Matt watched her pulled back and look into his goggle covered eyes. He became nervous and quickly answered her question, "I am Prince Matt from the Kingdom Alt."
She gasped, what luck of meeting a prince! She knew he had to be rich to afford all of these things but not a prince, "Wow! Oh than I am so greatful to my savior Prince Matt. Thank-you for rescuing me, your Majesty." He thought at that point she would have climbed off of him, but he was mistaken.
It seemed that she climbed on him more. She looked at him with bright admiring chestnut eyes and she put her hands around his shoulders, "My, my your majesty how will I ever repay you? She took her hands and fiddled with his googles. He flinched and tried to pull back but she just came nearer. She tried to slip off his goggles but he grabbed her hands abruptly. She froze, "But-but I want to see your beautiful eyes," she whined, "shouldn't I at least get to know what my savior's eyes look like? And how can you see me properly with those things on? Come on just-" "No!" She was stopped in mid sentence by the prince grabbing her hands, "I command you to stop. Right this instant." She moved away off his lap, "I-I am sorry..." She moved over to the far aide of the carriage, and stopped her moaning realizing it wouldn't work on him.
She sighed and looked out the window. Prince Matt sighed and felt bad for her, she was only trying to...ummm..wait! What was she trying to do!? His question was stopped when they reached the gates of Kingdom Whammy. He was in complete awe at the beauty of the place, but I won't go into detail because you have already heard this once. I will say though that Matt noticed something Mello did not.
He noticed the tea table set up in the middle of a stone arrangement. It was white painted iron cast and had a lone flower vase filled with white roses. He couldn't help but admire the intricate design in it all, even though it was a simple place. He could see another carriage now, probably the other prince, that's right. He had competition.
He knew that Near was a prize and that he was the most beautiful thing in the world. So, of course there was going to be some competition. He hoped it wasn't stiff, but with his appearance and his general no one wants him for no apparent reason characteristic, Matt was sure he was the one that was going to lose. He couldn't handle rejection, he just couldn't and definetly not from the princess he admires so much.
He took one last glance at himself and felt utterly disgusted with his own flesh. He wanted to crawl back into his room, back to the center of his bed and just lay there for eternity rather than face the soon come rejection. He sighed and tried to hold back little tears forming in his eyes. Here he was yet agin to be a failure, a loser, third place. It was no use escaping it, it was just fact and so with a grim and low hung head he felt the carriage come to a final stop.
Matt reached for the door handle.
