A new relationship

After gathering food for her horse. She prepared to leave but just then the prince came to the stables.

"Hey Charlotte" he said.

Her eyes widened in fear as she turned to him, "y.. yes" she responded,

"About last night" he said,

"Just forget about it, i really do not want to hear or talk of it again and if you could leave and return home, that would be great" she replied.

"He sighed as he folded his cuff in anger, the girl saw,

"Please leave, i have to go" she said as she got on to her horse.

He grabbed on to her hand and pulled her off the horse, she was now in his arms, she looked at him as her heart kept thumping fast,

"Put me down" she said,

"I do not think so" he replied as he squeezed her thigh.

"Oh no you don't" she said to herself as she bit his hands, the prince let go of her and she fell on the hay stack, the princess got up and dust off her clothes.

"It is going to be better if you go back to your father, i thought before than perhaps you were different from him but i was wrong" she said.

"Damn you" he replied as he grabbed on to her and braced her towards the wall,

"Let go of me Martin" she shouted as she slapped him.

He placed his hand on his face "no girl had ever hit me before and you dare to" he said as he slapped her to the ground.

He then grabbed her by the hand and pulled her up "i was going to apologize but i just changed my mind" he said as he touched her face.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked,

He looked at her "you will find out soon enough" he replied.

As he was about to touch her lips, someone grabbed on to his hand and threw him across the ground.

She looked and saw it was the prince she met the other day.

"Are you okay?" he asked in a gentle tone,

"I am fine" she replied.

He pulled out his sword and pointed it to Martin as he got up,

Martin smiled wickedly "oh so this is the guy, i see he has got guts" he said,

"If you touch her one more time, i will cut off your hands" the prince replied,

"You are just a commoner, go to hell" he said,

"Trust me you do not want to get me angry" the prince replied as he was about to strike Martin but the girl stopped him.

"Something is wrong with his brain, come on lets go" she said,

"Okay my lady" he replied smiling.

The boy and the girl walked passed the prince with her, as she passed him, she felt a shiver ran down her spine, she looked at the prince and he smiled with her.

"Huh you have got some nerve" she said as the boy helped her on the horse and they rode off.

For some reason the girl felt bad for leaving the prince, she wondered if she did the right thing by telling him to leave.

"For some reason your violent boyfriend seems like he is not human Charlotte" the prince said as he stopped by the barrier to cross over to their kingdom.

"What are you talking about?" she asked,

"I am saying there is more to him that meet the eyes, if i were you i would be careful around him" he replied,

"Maybe you are right, hmm and he is not my boyfriend" she said,

"Well you took a while to deny it" he replied.

"Think what you want, he does not mean anything to me, he is just a bastard as his dad" she said as she folded her hands in anger.

"That about him irritates you, will you go in a relationship with me?" he asked,

She looked at the prince in surprise, the girl remembered what her mother told her and smiled "sure, i mean i have to give life a chance" she responded.

"Well even if it does not work out, at least i got the princess to be my girlfriend" he said,

The girl laughed and hugged her, the princess hugged him back,

"Lets go back, i will introduce you to my parents, just keep your real identity to yourself for now okay" she said,

"As you wish my lady" he replied.

After they returned to the palace she heard the same melody that the prince played the other day, she sighed and took the boy to meet her parents.

They were amazed to see her with a boy and the prince was amazed that she brought him to meet the king and queen.

"Mom, dad this is Jake, my boyfriend" she said hesitantly,

The prince spewed out the drink from his mouth and coughed, the girl looked at him,

"Are you serious?" he asked,

"Yes i am" she replied.

He bowed down to the the king and queen, "wow he is handsome, great choice sweetie" the queen said,

The girl blushed "yeah thanks mom" she replied as she placed the girl hand inside the boy hand.

"Do not hurt my daughter, that is one thing i will not tolerate" the king said,

"Be assured i will never do that, i just want her to keep smiling the boy replied,

She smiled and hugged him in front of her parents.

Martin could not believe his eyes "hey am i seeing correct?" he asked the maid,

"Yes sire, the princess can finally be in a loving relationship and it is her first, i think with him things might go well" the maid replied,

"Hmm i did not ask your opinion on that, leave" he said.

He walked up to them and stretched forward his hand to the boy, Jake did the same and the prince shook his hand "congratulation, i hope it lasts" he said,

The boy smiled "thank you sire" he replied.
