Calacas

"What precious thing? I didn't lose anything precious" she said and he smiled.

"Of course, you won't realize it as yet, it's a little too early but, have you heard of mages?" he asked and she frowned.

"Unfortunately yes" she responded.

"Good well let's just say I am going to meet one of those," he said.

'Why would a normal prince like yourself would want to meet a mage?" she asked.

'You ask a lot of questions" he responded.

'And you never answer any" she said.

"Getting used to talking to me like that is not such a good idea" he replied.

'If you were honest I won't have to be like this" she said and he scoffed.

"You really don't like me do you?" he asked.

There is no reason for me to like you but I am grateful that you helped me that's the only reason I am here" she responded and he left staring at her.

'What kind of a woman are you?" he asked.

"The kind that won't take your bullshit" she responded and he laughed.

'No one has ever spoken to me in that manner before so I suggest you watch how you speak" he said.

"Sorry but at this time I will ignore what you just said" she replied and he sighed.

"Whatever just where we are going try not to let yourself show," he said.

'Huh? what do you mean?" she asked as he stared at her and she went down into the water.

"Stop staring" she shouted as he went to her.

"What are you doing?" she asked as he smiled wickedly then leaned in towards her and she pulled back as he placed his hand around her waist and pulled her towards him.

"Don't mess with me too much... I will go change... now hurry up" he said then released her and got out of the water.

"He is not to be trusted but I can't seem to convince myself that," she said to herself with a pout.

After the prince came out of the water he went to change in the tent and a little while after the girl came out.

"Woah," he said as he stared at her body and she ran into the tent for the dress was showing her figure due to how wet it was and he laughed.

"Don't come or look this way" she said.

"Relax I am a lot of things but I am not a pervert" he replied and she smiled as she changed and he packed the bags on the horseback.

"Well everything is ready, just tell me when you are," he said.

"I am almost done and thanks for the new clothes" she replied.

"You are welcome, don't want people saying I treat girls like trash," he said.

"Whatever" she replied as she came out in a blue pants, black high-top boots, and a shirt with a small jacket.

'Looks good on you" he said as he took down the tent and she smiled.

"Thanks" she replied as she got onto the horse and after he finished he got onto his then they took off.

"In about an hour or so after lunch we will be arriving at the kingdom of Calacas," he said.

"Oh okay," she replied as she took out the water bag from the saddle and drank some water.

"Pass me some," he said and she gave it to him.

"Thanks," he said.

"You are welcome" she replied as he drank the water then she saw something on his neck.

What's that on your back?" she asked.

'There is nothing there, well maybe a few scratches nothing more" he responded.

"Oh okay," she said with a frown and he smiled.

"Too early for you to know the truth sweetheart," he said to himself as he drank the water.

'Earlier when I said to cover yourself... I mean there are a lot of perverted eyes in some parts of the kingdoms that we might be visiting" he said.

"Oh okay well am I covered enough now?" she asked and he smiled wickedly.

"Yeah you are" he responded.

"Good the there is nothing to worry about besides I can defend myself," she said.

"I know you can" he replied as she looked at the caravans passing by them.

After an hour and a half, they arrived at the kingdom of Calacas in which some of the best weapons used in the army were made.

The kingdom was huge and as they entered she saw the people were very friendly and cheering.

"It's nice here, peaceful," she said.

"The people are but you still have to be careful, they get really serious problems from time to time" the prince replied as he stopped and got off of his horse in the middle of the street.

'Come on" he said and the girl got off of the horse.

"We will be going to the castle," he said as they held onto their horse and walked all the way to the end of the city where the castle was.

The castle was huge and grey in color, it was located in front of the mountain range and was surrounded by flowers and water.

"It's nice," she said as they entered the castle yard and the knights stopped them before they could enter the castle.

The yard was filled with carved trees and really colorful flowers that looked really nice and there were a few kids playing there.

"Let them pass," a young man dressed in silver and gold armor said and Alre laughed as he and the guy hugged.

"Good to see you actually came Alre" the guy said.

"I had no choice" he replied.

"My lady," the guy said.

"Julia this is prince Ethan," Alre said and the girl bowed.

"Your highness," she said and he smiled.

"No need for formalities, a friend of Alre is a friend of mine, come on you two" he replied as he walked away and they followed him.
