EARL OF WESSEX & INFANTA OF SPAIN

4TH TIME

"The music is too... Beautiful." I'm wandering while looking at the lake.

"Isn't you?" When I turned my face to my left side, I did not expect what I would see. “your view, I mean.”

"Arranxander? Your Highness." I bowed my head a little, I looked at him after. "I thought..." I'm talking to my sister. "Where's... Leonar" I whisper.

"I don't know, I'm the only one who's here."

I nod, he's smiling but still un-expressive, I now looking away from him.

I was sitting on a large wall but not so tall, it's above the knee wall around the manor, watching the lake not so far. It shines so bright cause of the lights from the lamps around the place and the stars from the sky, the vastness of the surroundings, the vastness of Edinburgh can be seen from here.

"You like to..." I looked at him, and he looked at me. "Roam? Even for a while."

"Roam with?"

"Carriage,"

"How would that be? It cannot." Seferia.

"Do you trust me?" Arranxander.

I think for a moment

"I already did." Seferia.

"Already?" Arranxander.

"When you helped me about that archer" This morning while touring here in their places, we played bow and arrow, my Father let us to do that. Leonar and I.

"So let yourself be. Be happy to explore." I looked into his hand, he handed it to me. He wants me to go with him.

I think intently. For sure, everything has a consequences.

"Just a one ride. Then I need to-" I stopped.

I really need to go back to their manor before seven in the evening, we only visit here because of the invitation of his Father. But, how could I at these times. I'm a Princess and he's the Earl of Wessex.

Two days ago, my Father, the King of Spain introduced him and his Father to us. They're from Scotland, his Father and Mother are the Duke and the Duchess they say. I already liked him... It's the fourth time we meet. I first saw him, unexpectedly, in the royal's union ball, London. Where I and my family were there. He is looking at me at that time, he refuses too many times but I still notices his stares even he doesn't know.

The second was at the coronation of the King's England. Third, at the Hyde Park, London.

"This is against the rules."

He smiled looking down while thinking, then he looked up to the sky.

"They don't need to know. So this is not against the rules. Infanta," He grinned, playfully.

"What time is it?" Seferia.

"5:59." Arranxander.

Fine. He held my hand when I give up. And I want to go with him to see more of the beautiful places here, the opportunity only comes once and Edinburgh is really a very nice city, and a very green place ‘cause alot of trees everywhere, the air was fresh. Their land even their manor are very huge.

We go to the carriage where there's a man who's waiting at the front seat, he was holding the rope where the horses are tied. I think one of the Duke's Soldiers. Arranxander didn't say that he was with someone. Me. It's sixth in the evening, I told them, my family that Leonar and I were just going to the garden of the manor, yes we went but I didn't notice what she said, that she was going to leave me to go back inside. Now she text.

"Wait, at behind me first," Arranxander.

I nodded. I looked at the message.

From: Leonar

¿Dónde estás? Te dije que entraras detrás de mí. Cuando regresé al lugar, ¿no estás? (Where are you? I told you to go inside after me. When I came back at the place, you're not there??)

I closed my eyes firmly. Then I put my phone inside of my pocket.

He grinned,

"Let's go..." He whispers, he helped me climb into the carriage to go inside. The Soldier didn't see me because he was too busy with the horses

I smirked

"You didn't told the man."

I looked at the direction of the Coachman before to Arranxander and whispered to his ear then I moved up, when he looked at me we're so close, so I sat, quickly and quietly, the driver of the carriage couldn't hear us because of the noise due of the movements.

We stared at each other, I felt awkward, but I didn't budge the eye contact. When suddenly the carriage stopped - I bumped into his chest. I almost scream! But I closed my mouth using my hand, I immediately retreated, and he seems shocked.

"What are you doing??" I yelled, quietly

"You were the one who fell, you forgot?" He shot back

"Let's just.. Go outside, your highness." My tone was strict now and sarcastic

We're talking on our lowest voices.

"Okay! Come back before... seven o'clock. Is that clear mr. Coren?" Arranxander.

"Yes! Your highness."

Arranxader say thanks and nods, then the guy left with the carriage "Ho!" He shouted at the horses.

I looked around and there is "Old... Castle? Where are we?" Seferia.

"Your highness, here!" He was looking opposite from where I was facing. When I turned around with the flow of my hair, the wind was very hasty, and cold.

I was stunned.

"It's so... . Perfect." Seferia.

It's like a fairytale place, so dreamy and wonderful.

"Yeah right. From the very start," I looked at him briefly,

"The very start?" then back to the view.

"Of our ancestors." I nodded twice.

"There is nothing like this. In Spain. But there is an other beauty in our place. This? I've only seen such a beautiful place like these in books. I knew, something just like this are truly exist now."

"I really appreciated the beauty of your country, Infanta. I'm glad because of the alliance of your Father and the King, my Uncle. I met you."

I faced him. Gave him smiles.

"I. Really. A lot. I like you."
