Honeysuckle

     She wakes up  with a small smile as she remembers what the knight had said. Her arms and legs stretch out as she yawns . Her eyes beams  as she jumps off her bed and runs to the door. Opening it, she hurries down the stairs then outside just as Sir Henry climbs down from his horse. Her heart jumps and she smiles nervously as she looks down and notices she is in her sleep ware. She blushes brightly and runs back into her room before he can see her. She slams the door shut and presses her back to it. A hand in her chest she breaths trying to calm herself down. Closing her eyes she pushes off the door and quickly changes. Turning she brushes out her hair and a small knock comes from her door. Her body freezes as she turns to look at the door and a small voice comes through.

     "Mi' lady we have a meeting with your father!" The maid calls and she takes a breath as she walks over to the door and opens it. "Shall we head over? Breakfast will be served there." Nodding,  the Princess hurries over to the meeting place where her father waits.

     "My little girl." The King begins, his pale face narrowing as she stood by him. "There has been quite a situation with the rival kingdoms and you know that." He whispers and she nods as she stares at him. "So I'm assigning a knight over your protection." He breaths in and she glances up to Sir Henry. He nods as he smiles slightly and the King takes her hand. "Sir Henry is one of our best and I have heard you both get along well." The King gives her a happy smile as he pushes her forward slightly and the Princess turns to him.

"Mi' Lady." Sir Henry whispers as he kneels down taking her hand. "I pledge to protect you even if i must cost my life in order to do so." He says and bows towards her. "Do you accept me as you knight?"

"Yes." She whispers and he nods as he stands up taking a stance beside her. His hands stays still at his side as they both bow to the King then walk out. He shuts the door and she turns smiling at him. "How strange is it that your my knight?"

"Strange or faith?" He asks and she blushes as she laughs. "I'm glad we we are together."

"As long as it wasn't Knight Adams." She grumbles and he turns to look at her. "He's very rude and crude." Walking around a corner, she slams into someone and stumbles. Sir Henry grabs her pulling her away and she looks up to the cruel eyes of Knight Adams. "S-sorry!"

"Of course you are." He snorts and looks at her bowing slightly. "Watch were you walk Mi' lady." He states and his lips tug up into a snide grin. "Or would it be this moron that lead you to stumble." He turns to Sir Henry and tilts his head. "Watch her well sir Henry."

"Yes sir." Sir Henry whispers and sir Adams nods as he struts away. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She whispers and watches as she rolls her eyes. "I need to go." She hurries walking with the maid to a lesson.

"That was longer than I was expecting." She whispers as she sits down on the stool and looks out into the darkness of the night. "I better sleep..." Laying down, she closes her eyes and weariness supports her sleep.

After only a few hours of sleep, the night has reached its peek and a sudden scream awoken her. She shots up straight and looks around. Standing, she walks to the door and peeks out. People run around like crazy and someone pulls her out. Sir Henry holds her arm as he begins running.
