I woke up rather early this morning, nothing out of the ordinary.. But my mind has been clouded with thoughts of the handsome stranger, Sir Roman.. His voice still humed in my ear from last night.. A knock came upon my door.. "Enter." I watched as Renee walked in.. "Good morning." She slowly bowed..

I rolled my eyes and chuckled "Stop your silliness." She straighten up and smiled "Very well.. But the Queen has sent me to fetch you.. Breakfast with the Orton family." "Yes, with their wretched son." She nodded "Your parents think fondly of him.. They were rather happy when you two danced last night." "Speaking of last night, did you notice a random stranger?" She shook her head "No, I don't recall." "Well, I do.. And I shared a dance with him.."

"Was he charming?" I smiled as I looked out the window.. "Incredibly charming.. But he held a touch of mystery to him.. He claimed to be a noble man of the kingdom, but I have never seem him before.. It was almost as if I imagined him." I smiled harder as I remembered our dance.. Renee cleared her throat "Do you have feelings for this gentleman?" I shrugged "Perhaps, I do."

"Pardon me, but you can't catch feelings for someone just because of one dance.. It's absurd." "To you it's absurd, because you don't believe." I walked out the door, Renee walking beside me.. "I believe that one can fall for another but not at the first sight of them. Also, you are destined to wed Prince Orton." "Yes, but I think every individual is entitled to choose their own destiny.. My destiny is to find my charming stranger." "And what if you never find him?"

"Then I will keep waiting." The guards open the door of the dining room.. Me and Renee walked in, all eyes glued on us.. I turned to Renee "Dismissed." I smiled at her and walked to the table. "Good morning." I sat down, in my regular seat. "Finally you decide to join us." I looked at the spoiled prince. "Well Prince, I had to make myself presentable.. Not everyone wakes up, not caring about their look like yourself." He huffed "If your intention was to look presentable, you have failed-" Queen Orton interrupted "Randy, show some respect for the princess-"

I cut her off. "No, I do not desire your respect.. But I hope you know that you are a wretched man. And with that being said, I dismiss myself from your disgusting sight." I turned to my parents "Mother, Father, I am off for some alone time. Please enjoy this disturbing gathering." I rose from the chair and walked towards the door. I heard Queen Orton's "Off? Where?" I turned around "Off to the woods.. Good day, everyone." I turned around and walked out the dining room.. My heart beating as I gather my bows and arrows before heading to the woods.
