The prince's knight

Chapter 3: The Costume Party.

I'd just eaten at the courtroom's oak wood table and was headed towards my chambers. I changed out of my tunic and took my costume from my wardrobe. I was stood next to my bed naked when I heard a knock on the door. Crap. In a panic, I grabbed my bed sheets and tied them around my waste like a towel. The door creaked open and in walked the knight.

"Prince boy I'm sorry about-" He was cut off by half covered me. He covered his eyes, but his hand dropped down as if he wanted to see me like this.

"GO AWAY!!!" I screamed out him in a shrill voice. He raised his hands almost gesturing a sarcastic sorry. As the door closed behind him, I started to change into my costume: A maid dress and some white a black glasses. Excited for the party, I threw a rope down outside my window and climbed down. It was higher than I thought. I was starting to get closer; I could practically hear the sound of the music. As I walked through the doors, I realized how many people were there: a lot more than expected. I snuck through the crowd to the bar. I ordered a Scotch on the rocks.

"So what brings you here." I heard a deep, familiar voice say from the seat next to me. He wore a green hood and a white mask that smiled back at you.

"Just looking for some fun."

"interesting. Can I buy you a drink?" I knew it was a man and was tempted to say no, but something told me otherwise. 

"s-sure, I've had a pretty bad day anyway." He payed the bar tender and we talked for hours. I didn't notice when the whole party had emptied and I was still laughing at this masked man. I pulled my glasses off so that I could see better and instantly head a gasp from the man next to me. He pulled off his mask to reveal himself as my personal knight: Clay.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?!" I was now standing and looking down at his green eyes.

"Like you said: looking for some fun." Why was he so calm? I thought he'd be angry at me. "And I found it. Well it was nice talking I'm going to bed." I was stood there in shock waiting for him to react to the fact that I'd gone against his order, but he just started walking across the empty, littered hall.

"You're not going to shout at me..?"

"Oh don't worry. I'll punish you for this another time." Now I knew I was in trouble. Now I was scared.
