Buttercup's POV
I was in complete shock...they were the same guy...Oh man I'm screwed. I lied to the future King. Oh man, I'm so screwed. I'm not the type of person to freak out but Damn, I was ready to jump out of my skin right now. I saw this long hair spiky guy right next to him, smiling wide.
Proceed with Caution
"Your Highness," The Jailer cried out, "This Lady was about to kill me over a Thief."
I glared at him and he jumped as the roots tried to grab his feet, "I'm only getting a friend out of jail because she's innocent."
"How do you know that?" He asked me, giving me this strange look, that send my heart pounding.
"She is my friend, maybe if you people weren't so quick to sell them and actually look over the case, you would have found out that this if your people looked into it more." I didn't mean to snap but it was unfair, a brat could ruin Bree's life just like that, "In fact, she was framed."
"That's what they all say."
"Well, I know for a fact she was framed, now excuse me but I'm really need to talk to the Jailer." I looked at the guy, who jumped like a girl, but he tried to stand straight and look tough for this Prince's sake. The Prince didn't jump at my glare, in fact his slightly dark emerald eye looked back at me, widening.
"Sorry Miss, but you can buy her at the Auction."
"Don't start growing a pair because he's here. She is a person, and not some crappy piece of furniture, how dare you Auction someone off. If they are guilty, you should at least give me a choice and make them work for it or jail 'em not send them away from their families!" I had to cover my mouth, damn, this isn't good. I didn't talk like a noble lady but I meant it, the word Auction just made me wanna hurt someone.
"Well, that's a good argument, I think you should release her before she's ready to shake your head clean off this time." He actually smiled but I frowned, no way I'm gonna fall for some Prince'a charm. The Jailer released Brianna but slammed it on the other men who begging and pleading would break anyone's heart, but the Prince just smiled as if he did a great service. Bubbles hugged her, but Brianna was looking at the spiky hair guy and her face was bright red. Now I've gotta hurry, the twins could only hold Fang for so long.
I bowed and smiled through my teeth, "Thank you, your highness." I pulled Brianna's and Bubbles' hands, "Prepare the Horses." I commanded Brianna and Bubbles, who walked off, but that guy, jumped off his horse and followed her. That's when I saw those green eyes in shock and this weird smile.
"Wait, That Necklace...I know that necklace."
"Time to go." I walked away as fast as I could.
"Oh crap, thats right...I just can't believe it...my mind was a complete blank. He was the Crown Prince, I've never seen him before except that ring but..." I gasped as I could hear him calling for me now, "Oh man, this is so *beeping* messed up. So the man who saved me from Danny was the Crown Prince...and I creamed the same guy with the apple. What made things worse, I'm pretending to be above my 'station' as someone would put it...and talking to the future King...I even kissed the future King on the cheek. I wonder what would happen if Duchess and Princess knew, they would pull their hair out ."
My slipper came off on the stairs, and I normally wouldn't care but those were my mother's shoes. So I rushed up the stairs and grabbed my shoe, but I slipped up on the steps, scratching my knee. He had enough time to catch up and was right on the steps.
"As your Prince, I'm ordering you to stop."
I unwillingly obeyed, it was one of those commands that you just obeyed without thinking. I was out of breath but he looked like he could pass out.
"I guess I should exercise more, you're pretty fast." The Prince stood up and slowly walked towards me, "So Countess, you're a foreigner, I never would have guess that. I haven't seen you in almost 6 years and now twice in a month. I must admit, I almost didn't recognize you in that outfit."
"Oh like you could talk." I snapped but shut my mouth, pouting.
"You're mad at me. Why?"
I didn't know how's lady was suppose to answer that, so I just said, "I was a little surprise, that the same person who saved me from that jerk in the a market place was...I...I just didn't realize the Crown Prince was such a DAMN SNOB!" I stomped but covered my mouth.
His eyes widened but then he glared at me, playful like, "So what did I do? I freed your servant."
"True, but you never looked at the other men, I bet that's their families right now, outside the Castle, trying to get through and free them."
"Your servant is luck-"
"Friend, she's my friend. Her grandmother has been crying herself like crazy, those two have each other..., can you imagine those men's families. You're not being free to the Lower Class, it makes me wanna hurl-" I had to stop myself as he just looked down at the ground. I swallowed my pride, I bowed ago, "But I'm sorry, you did save her and you didn't have to, you gave her grandma a reason to live, so thanks."
I was trying to hide my blush, as he looked at me.
"You're absolutely Fascinating." He just blurted out, "Take that mask off."
"No way."
"But I know what you look like, plus...when you tell me your first name, I want to see the face along with it."
"Like you said, you've seen my face...but hey...why did you really let her go? I really don't care but-"
"A Noble Woman wouldn't have gone so far unless she really was guilty. I am curious, what will happen to her?"
"She'll have to go back." I answered and he gasped.
"Are you serious? But why? They framed her."
"She has no choice, she has no where else to go."
"But she has you, I must admit...I didn't expect it to be this bad. To be framed out of your livelihood."
"I must be going."
"Wait, I'm begging here-"
I took a deep breath and removed my mask. I really don't see why he wanted to see my face.
Butch's POV
My heart was hammering up to my head and ears, she was just as enchanting as she was in the Marketplace...She didn't wear any make up, and her hair was the same as before...I've never felt like this...Really I don't know what I was feeling...I felt sick.
"Please Enchantress, please I'm begging you here...and I'm not ashamed, but I must have another name please. And I must remind you, that I have my pride here and I'm willing to beg."
She stepped back, shocked but she was blushing, that same cute light peachy blush, "Don't call me enchantress." She started walking off but slower so I could easily match her pace.
"Then what can I call you? I must admit, I thought I know every noble in the land but-
"I'm visiting a Cousin." She snapped.
"Oh...that explains everything...well then...who?"
"My Cousin."
"Ok but who?" I was getting impatient.
"I only have one."
"Are you really that crazy or you just don't wanna tell me?"
"No and yes." She was quickening the pace, but I stepped in the way, she tried to move to the right but I still blocked her, she smiled, showing all her teeth, "Your Highness, if you don't move, I'm gonna kick you in a very special place."
"Go ahead, you would commit treason against the Crown and future heirs." I winked at her and she blushed bright pink and gave me a hard punch to the chest, "You're cruel, I'm begging here. Please...give me something."
She sighed, smelling of cinnamon, which seemed to fit her, a Spicy yet sweet smell but mostly spicy.
"Very well, your Highness, it's-"
"Oh Prince Butch." That was my step mother's voice, "Your father wants to speak with you." I looked over at her.
He probably wants to know why I left the Castle grounds again.
"Yeah Yeah. Listen, I just want to...," I turned my head towards the girl, but she gone. I laughed, at her escaping, "Damn, she's fast." I looked down to see her necklace on the floor.
(This isn't the Cinderella moment, remember BC has a habit of losing her slippers)
