The Hidden Princess

---Aphmau---

"Where is she!" I heard someone yell. I woke up and looked next to me. Aaron was staring at the ocean. He looked over at me and smiled.

"Morning............queen." He said and I laughed.

"What did I say about formality." I said and he laughed. He got up and helped me up. I tripped over a tree stump and accidentally fell on top of Aaron. I blushed and looked away.

"You ok." He said.

"Y-Y-Yes." I said and got up. I helped him up and I looked down the hill. Garroth was coming up here.

"Aphmau. Aaron. Where you here all night." Garroth said.

"Yea." I said.

"Oh well Sasha said that Zane is going to be furious if she doesn't come back." Garroth said.

"Then let him. He's the one that's wants to marry me." I said.

"Wait you were serious when you said that." Aaron said.

"Yes. And I will never marry a crazy person like him." I said.

"Oh Irene. Zane was always a crazy person." Garroth said.

"How would you know." I said. He looked at me then looked down.

"I'm from O'khasis." He said. Wait a minute!

"Ro'Meave. Garroth Ro'Meave the eldest of O'khasis that ran away for not wanting to marry the princess of Scaleswind." I said.

"Yea. Ok please don't send me back Aphmau." Garroth said.

"I won't." I said.

"Wait how did you know that about him." Aaron said.

"I lived in Falcon Claw, the village is right next to O'khasis. We know a lot about O'khasis and what goes on there being so close." I said.

"Oh yea that village is right next to O'khasis so they know everything about what happens there." Garroth said.

"I'm gonna take a walk so see ya." I said and walked away from them.

"Wait I'm supposed to be your personal guard Aphmau." Aaron said and ran after me. I walked to the gates and walked out and to the forest. I felt and hand on my shoulder and I turned around. Aaron was standing there looking at me.

"Aaron." I said.

"I'm your personal guard I have to keep you safe." He said and I sighed.

"Come on." I said and we walked into the forest until I found an open space to stay in. I sat down near a tree and Aaron leaned on a tree next to me.

"So about what you said last night. Why did you ask me that." Aaron said.

"Huh." I said.

"You asked me if I ever wonder if the person I love loves me back." He said and I looked away and blushed. I asked him that because I think I'm falling for him.

"Why did I ask you that." I said.

"Um yea why." He said. Man I really don't want to tell him why.

"Because I'm just curious." I said.

"Oh that can't be the reason why. Tell the truth." He said. I looked at him then looked away and blushed. Ugh he's making this happen! I think I love him even though I'm not meant to love my guards.

"Aphmau please answer me." He said. I stayed silent until I felt him turn me around. I looked at him and he was sitting next to me.

"Come on." He said and I looked down. I was blushing so I didn't want to look at him.
