The Lost Princess

Chapter 15: Princess Ametrine

After separating from Lucas, I started looking down alleyways and side roads. After a few minutes I heard crying coming from a dark alley. I hopped off of Shimmer and walked down the dirty alley and followed the crying.

Hello? A little girl with a sack of flour came our from behind a garbage can. She fit Peters description perfectly.

Are you Hazel? I asked calmly getting down to her level. She nodded her head.

I heard someone following me last night and hid here. I fell asleep and just woke up. I want my brother! She explained.

He misses you too. Lets get you back to him! I grabbed her hand and led her to Shimmer.

You have a unicorn?

Yes, my name is Princess Ametrine.

Nice to meet you, Princess! We climbed on Shimmer and found Lucas with a still worried Peter.

PETER!!!

HAZEL!!! As soon as I stopped Shimmer, Peter grabbed Hazel and hugged her to him!

Thank you, Princess! You dont know how much this means to me!

Actually, she does! Shes the sister of the Lost Princess of the Star Kingdom. King Lucas said coming up to us.

Is it true she has returned? Peter asked.

Safe and sound! I said with a smile on my face.

Just like little Hazel here. How would you like to come shopping with us and then back to the castle for a play date? If thats okay with King Lucas. I looked at Lucas with puppy dog eyes.

Sounds like fun to me! Lucas exclaimed!

We would be honored, your majesties! Let me just get Hazel cleaned up first.

Nonsense! Let me buy her a new dress! I announced! People were starting to gather and I didnt care I liked Peter and I knew Rosella would to and Hazel is just adorable!

Better yet why dont I have the seamstress make you your very own dress for the ball! Lucas was smiling from ear to ear!

Really?! Can we bubby, can we?!?!?! Hazel looked at Peter with doe eyes and I almost started begging him to come so she could be happy. She was a very persuasive little girl.

King Lucas? Are you sure its alright? I dont want to impose. Peter turned his gaze toward Lucas who stood there with a grin plastered on his face.

Impose? Nonsense! My boy you work harder than anyone I know! You deserve this!

Peter just go! One citizen yelled.

Yeah Peter! You deserve it! Next thing we know the whole crowd that had gathered started to cheer for Peter and Hazel congratulating them and rooting for them to go! My heart swelled with pride!

Well, Peter? Will you take me up on my offer? Besides Id like to introduce you to someone!

Playing matchmaker already I see! Lucas laughed beside me. I just grinned.

Youre going to steal away my best baker! Peter blushed.

Okay! We except! Everyone erupted in cheers! Peter climbed onto Spartacus with Lucas and Hazel climbed back onto Shimmer with me.

So back to the castle? Lucas asked and I just nodded my head. Then we were off. In no time we were back to the castle, and I was antsy to introduce Peter and Hazel to Rosella!

Peter is everything alright? Carl asked as he came out of the castle.

Everything is fine Uncle Carl! Uncle??
