KEIRA'S POV:
"Farewell my noble steed, thank you again for escorting me here," I said, giving a slight curtsy.
"No problem chook, just call me when you're ready to be picked up," my dad said, kissing me on the cheek.
As dad drove away, I turned and faced reality. I was at my first ever renaissance fair.
I was scared that everyone would know this was my first time. After all, I don't want to look like a newbie.
I picked up the bottom of my full burgundy gown as I crossed the wooden bridge to enter the fair.
It was...an experience. There are so many people in beautiful costumes, so many stalls full of beautiful stock, and I swear I could see a shimmer of gold floating around the air.
I walked through the stalls, formally and quietly greeting people as I passed, when I saw a large wooden castle on the far side of the stall column.
I immediately started speed-walking towards the castle. I'm not entirely sure why, but I felt like I was supposed to go there.
I got to the bottom of the stairs just as someone else did. It was a person dressed in silver armour.
It was a very awkward interaction, because neither of us wanted to be the first to climb the stairs.
"After you, your Highness," they said gently.
I smiled and I could feel heat rushing to my cheeks.
"Thank you, m'they'dy," I said, walking up the first few stairs.
When I got up to the fifth or sixth stair, I could've sworn I heard someone say my name. I looked behind me to see, and I missed my step, falling backwards.
Oh god, this is so fucking embarrassing. My first ever fair, and one of the first things I do is fall down a set of stairs.
Although, I didn't crash on the autumn leaves on the ground.
The knight from earlier had caught me; their arm around my back, and them dangling over me. They had saved me.
"Are you alright?"
"I-I-I think, I think so- so," I said, they were gazing into my eyes and I were gazing into theirs.
"Are you sure? Nothing hurts?" They said, pulling me up.
"Nothing hurts, thank you. You're my knight in shining armour." I said.
"What's your name?" They asked, standing strong beside me.
"My name is Keira, and yours?"
"I'm Fern. It's wonderful to meet such a lovely princess such as yourself, your Highness."
Those words tickled my insides. I felt warm and at home at this fair now, which was weird because not 10 seconds ago I felt like the whole world was crashing in on itself.
A/n: finishing here! Again, lmk if y'all want part 2 cause this one is fun af to write, love y'all's! <3
