14. Surprise

Chapter Fourteen: Surprise

I woke up to the sound of a knock at my bedroom door and quickly brushed my hair before I went to answer it. I righted my night gown and opened the door, but instead of one of the maids of the house it was the prince who stood at my door.

"Good morning, Princess," he said with a bow.

"Good morning," I replied nervously and bowed in return. "Come in." I opened the door halfway and turned away quickly so I could go get ready.

"Interesting," he commented quietly.

"What?" I asked as I looked at him.

"You look beautiful even when you have just woken up," he replied in observation.

"You shouldn't say things like that to me," I said hastily.

"And why is that?" he asked.

"I might take it seriously," I said as I went to the closet to get dressed.

"I believe that was the point, Princess," he said evenly.

I smiled at his words as I started getting dressed into a simple purple day dress that had flowers stitched up the left side that varied in size. I stepped out of my dressing room to find Sesshomaru by the door. He smiled at me and then kissed my hand. The only thing that registered in my mind was surprise.
