When Two Worlds Collide [on hold]

Prince Rabadash

Peter's POV

I hadn't been able to take my eyes off Princess Estella as we walked inside. She walked with the lifetime of grace that came with being born into royalty. I groaned as her back quickly disappeared around the corner.

"She hand-organized the festivities, again, this year." Prince Cor commented.

I looked back at him and he had that knowing look in his eye.

"Will she be participating in the archer competition?" I questioned him.

He nodded.

"She's placed first for the past four years, she'll also be participating in the second day festivities as well," he told me.

"And what is planned for the second day?" I questioned.

"The girl's sword fighting!" Corin butted into the conversation.

Edmund snickered at that and Susan gave him a quick elbow to the gut.

"Oh I wouldn't laugh at that King Edmund, at least not until you've been on the other side of Aria's sword!" Cor defended his sister.

"Remember last year when Estella almost took of Rabadash's head?" Corin questioned.

"Prince Rabadash," Cor corrected.

"What?" We asked in unison.

"She would have too if father hadn't interfered!" Cor frowned.

"And why would that be a good thing?" Edmund questioned.

"Have you met Prince Rabadash yet King Edmund?" Corin questioned.

Edmund shook his head.

"I thought so" the twins smiled at each other before One of the Lords sent them on their way.

"We teach our women to fight as does Carlormene, it makes for fun competition between the sexes" The lord smiled as we made it to the third floor.

"This will be your wing, these two rooms over look the gardens while these two over look the training and festival grounds" King Edmund gestured to the three doors.

"My Lord what did the Princess mean about Prince Rabadash?" I questioned him.

He sighed before waiting for The twins and Princess estella to go to their rooms. Edmund also looked very interested.

Prince Rabadash needs to be taken in small doses," The Lord explained, "he's been after Estella before she could even walk and now that she's nearing marriageable age it hasn't gotten any better. I'd also watch your sister's very carefully, he's a slimy toad that Prince is, and  as cruel as his father. Heed the warning and keep the conversations short."

The lord  left to attend to some smaller details of the Ball such as arranging the prince's outfit.

Edmund gave me a look. "I'd like to see a git like that get near the girls" he growled.

I opened my door and inclined my head into it. Edmund followed me inside before I closed the door.

"We're going to have to watch them to make sure." I told him, he nodded.

"So while I watch the girls you'll be watching Princess Estella?" Edmund challenged.

I gave him a look.

He smiled that knowing smile. "Uhuh, that's what I thought" he chuckled opening the door.

I took my boot off and threw it at him. He laughed quickly closing the door so the boot smacked against it.
