Chapter 3
Ace was hoping to get another sight of the princess. He was running along side of the carriage. He did get to see little glimpse (A/N have I overused that word) but he thought it was just his mind playing little tricks on him. The curtain in the carriage was closed. He hoped that Lexi might open the curtain and look out the window. Too bad he didn't know about the rules.
Ace: (thinking) come on please open the window. Please. I need to see you again.
* IN THE CARRIAGE*
Lexi was smiling and humming. Her father was getting worried. He had never seen her like this before.
King: Lexi?
Lexi: Hmm?
King: I'm begging to worry. Have you snuck out?
Lexi was worried to him looking out of the outside window was just as good as sneaking out. She decided to lie.
Lexi: No. I was a little nervous but Carolina told me something and now I feel better.
King: Oh? And what was that?
Lexi: Oh! Um.. Not to judge all princes the same.
King: Lexi. Don't lie to me.
Lexi was nervous it was the truth in a way. But how was she supposed to tell him the truth?
Lexi: I wasn't lying. Carolina did tell me a story like that.
King: Well may I hear this story?
Lexi: There was a prince whose over protective mother wanted to make sure he never knew anything of the outside world. But one day he caught sight of a peasant girl he ran away from the palace and married her.
King: And this appeals to you how?
Lexi: There's more to the story. Carolina told me she'll tell me the rest when I get home. I guess I'm justa little excited to hear how it ends. Of course she made it sound so much more romantic.
The king looked at Lexi and took her hand.
King: Lexi. I want you to have a good life with a good husband.
Lexi sat back
Lexi: I know.
