Another Voyage Into My Heart [On Hold]

Chapter 3: Process

The hall is full of beautiful candles placed in golden chandeliers. The big door opens as people get close to it. I'm alone, my dad told me that once I got to the palace I needed to find a room with a big seat in it. I guess there must be something really important inside that room.

When the doors open for me, I see a lot of people dress with gowns. The commander calls my name: "Lady Amber of The Seas", I know it's him because of the medals hanging on his chest. I get a little mad, because they have to say that I'm <<of The Seas>>, I mean, it isn't enough that they say my real name; they have to say that I was born in the sea too...

A servant grabs my hand gently all the way down the stairs. Then, the person that I least expected comes and thanks me for coming. I curtsey with the answer of King Pierson of Syracuse.

"I thank you for coming." Says King Pierson.
"It's an honor to be here your majesty." I answered gracefully.
"I want you to meet someone..." He says as he turns around looking for that 'someone' "This is my son, Prince Matthew."
"Hi." Says cheerful Prince Matthew.
"Matthew..." Says the King.
"Sorry... My Lady. I hoe that you're having a wonderful time here at the palace." Prince Matthew corrects himself with a sarcastic tone.
"I am. Thank you very much for inviting me." I say as I look at the King again.
"Matthew, why don't you show her the palace?" Says  King Pierson while he looks at his son.
"I don't have any options. I've done it with every girl..." Says the Prince as I get my hand on his to start walking.

The prince's are as blue as the sea, and his hair is as brown as the trunk of a tree. He smiles like if he's trying to make you feel comfortable by his side, which is totally working with me. He simple, but at the same time elegant. The prince's suit makes him look sophisticated, yet graceful and fun. He is the perfect prince for a perfect princess. But who am I kidding? I'm a pirate not a princess.

He walks me across the ball room and then we start walking through the halls. As we enter a room full of antiques I see the prince looking at the horizon through the window.

"I've always wanted to get out of this boring and old palace." Prince Matthew says as he sits on a chair besides the window.
"I don't think this palace is boring, I do think it's old, but it's just amazing." I say with enthusiasm.
"Well... When you've lived here your whole life, trust me, you just get tired of everything..." Says Prince Matthew. "...responsibilities and royalty things... Well, you should know, you're a princess..."
Yeah sure...
"Yeah, I'm a princess. But I was raised in the seas." I clarify.
"That must be awesome..." Says the Prince exited for me. "I mean, that must be pretty astonishing." He says blushing his cheeks.
"Your majesty you can talk to me normally, like if you were talking to yourself." I tell him in a soft voice.
"Same goes to you..." He chuckles. "But thanks for that. Most of the times the girls only care about how rich I am. But I'm grateful that you don't care about that." He says as we make eye contact for the first time in our conversation.
