Chapter 9
After Ace managed to get a good look at Lexi he had hope that she liked him. He saw the way her face lit up when he saw her. Her green eyes sparkled at the sight of him and the whole ten seconds, she had a bright smile across her face. With those eyes and that smile in his mind he contently walked back to his friends.
Duck: Well, well. Look who finally stopped looking for the pretty little princess. You know you'll neve- What's wrong with you?
Ace: Nothing.
*MEANWHILE*
Hours later Lexi was still in her room upset when father went to go and try to talk to her.
King: Lexi?
Lexi: Go away.
King: Lexi, please?
Lexi: I want to speak Carolina.
King: Not until we've talked.
Lexi: I will only talk to you once I've talked to Carolina.
The king went to go Carolina. She then went to go see Lexi.
Carolina: Lexi, dear?
Lexi brought her head up from her pillow.
Lexi: the other day I saw this boy, and I saw him again today.
Carolina: How did you see him?
Lexi: Through a crack in the bushes.
Carolina: And today?
Lexi: We hit a bump and the curtains went up for a few seconds. He was right by the carriage.
Carolina: How about I'll let you go out to find him, and I'll tell your father that you'll be ready to talk in the morning?
Lexi: Oh! Really?
Carolina nodded and Lexi gave her a hug. She helped Lexi find some old clothes and turn them into rages, then she helped her sneak out by saying that showing her a secret hole in the concrete wall blocking the palace. Lexi gave Carolina another hug before finally leaving the palace.
Carolina: remembr be back before five.
Lexi: I don't intend to be gone that long.
