Chapter 4 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A smile crept across Tavian's face as guards led him across the huge castle. After a few minutes of walking, with so many turns and stairs. They finally found themselves in a room with so many ladies moving from place to place.

"Emily please come here," one of the guards shouted across the wide room of maids.

Slowly one of the youngest maids came to the guard. Realization swept across Tavians face. It was the girl he had danced with just.. Wait how long had Tavian been unconscious. The girls cheeks reddened as she realized that Tavian was the one she also had danced with.

"Yes sir," the girl, Emily, asked the guard.

"Take the prince to the dressing room," the guard said to Emily. "He is to get all new attire.

"Yes, my lord," Emily said as she gave a little curtsey.  

"Come with me prince," Emily said to Tavian as she grabbed his hand.

"Please just call me Tavian," Tavian said back as he let her lead him.

After a lot of dodging people as the went about Emily and Tavian finally made it to the dressing room.

"Ooh who is the new handsome boy coming in," one of the ladies sewing said in a loud whisper.

Tavian blushed as Emily said"He is the prince of Alterion. His name is Tavian.

"When did this happen," the oldest looking lady said. "I thought the King and Queen were all dried up."

"Just now and he needs new clothes," Emily responded.

"Well then girls lets get this prince dressed," one loud lady said with a smile. A devious smile.

"Ow" and "too tight" were the only things heard as the maids stripped down Tavian and got different types of clothes for him. They tried so many things, a royal knight armor which was way to heavy. So many things he tried on. Except one that was perfect. He got a pair of pants that were perfect for running in, boots up past his calf which were also good for running, a light iron mail shirt that was almost skin tight, and a brown silk shirt over that and I deep green vest. He also took a knife and put it in the side of his boot. Just for safety.

Now Emily led him through the castle. Tavians stomach growled hungrily.  

"Hungry are you," Emily asked Tavian teasingly.

"Yes very much," Tavian said rubbing his stomach.

"Well let's go find you some food," Emily said while quickly turning down a hallway. The thick smells of meat made his mouth water. How long had it been since his meal in the tavern.?How long had he been asleep? All these flooded his mind like the ocean.

"In here is the kitchen, lets go in and get some food. I'm a little hungry also," Emily said.

Walking in they saw the hustle of many cooks getting the evening dinner ready. Emily walked up and picked a platter of food off the counter and led Tavian through a door across the kitchen. Through the door was a huge room with many candles, and a huge table large enough for all the kingdom. Tavian could barely see the other side. Sitting at the end closest to the kitchen Emily set down the platter.

Tavian now looked at the many foods. There was chicken, turkey, loafs of bread, many slices of steak, and this drink unlike any other. Emily place a plate by his and her seats and poured the weird drink in a goblet. This drink was all the colors of a rainbow, it all swirled like it was alive. Tavian didn't touch his. Then Emily put different types of meat on their plates. They both say down on the comfy seats.
