CHAPTER FOUR

When did I become immune to pain? At least I would have heard the sound of someone crashing to the ground but none of this things actually happened. All I felt was the warm embrace of someone that has shielded me from falling. who ever it was had a wonderful scent, am sure it was a man because of the broad shoulder and muscle.

"open your eyes your safe" a familiar voice said. his gentle voice took me into a world I had never been before, it was about to unlock a side of me that I had sworn never to open.

I didn't want to open my eyes I wanted to remain in his arms and keep inhaling his wonderful scent.

"Thank you" I said opening my eyes and realizing it was Prince Albert, I tried to avoid his eyes. If I had looked deeply Into them, I don't want to imagine what would happen. But that didn't stop me from noticing his perfect diamond shaped face and attractive curly hair.

"Shall we" he said stretching his hands for me to place mine. I did not hesitate to take his hands because I was anxious to know what it would feel like.

The softness of his hands was as that of a child. This hands has never held a sword before, am certain about this.

I quickly forgot about the incident because this meal was so delicious, baked bread and scrabbled egg with a cup of ginger tea which was my favorite.

The dinning table was square shaped and long, I mean very long with every seat occupied. His highness sat at the end of the table which was by my left with the crowned queen followed by three other women which I suppose should be his Highness wives.

Prince Albert sat at the end of the other side of the table as the crowned prince which was by my right had side while I sat next to him followed by a beautiful lady, who wouldn't stop looking at Prince Albert every now and then.

Nobody said a word on the table, unlike my home where LaLa the talkative would disturb with her stories about what happened at her school, and later she and Elsa would start yelling at each other and then mother would expect to exercise my authority as the first child but shorting them up. I did miss those two.

I wanted to eat more but I couldn't ask for more. Everyone were done eating, and they started starting at me as if they had seen a ghost and began to whisper, I knew it was about me but something was off because they kept looking at the beautiful lady beside me with the I'm sorry look.
