"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.
I turned around to look at him but it was too late, feeling a strong grip on my bare waist, I was heaved into the air as he carried me in his arms, pushing us both back against a rock as I gulped back a surprised scream.

"You're a funny one," Beatrice, one of the maids laughed. "Of course you should ear it, the king himself personally ordered it for you and I've got to say, he's got good taste," The maid nodded her head as she too stared at my reflection. 


"But then again, I believe you would look stunning in dirt rags too," This time, I was the one that laughed at her. 


"Thank you for helping me," I thanked and she waved me off. 


"You've got to be the only royal other than the crown prince that has thanked me," 


"That's not something anyone should be proud of," I frowned and she chuckled, dismissing the subject. I met Beatrice about an hour ago, she worked at the palace and wasn't much older than me but we got along well.
