Dragon's Blood

part 3

"Well boy, I guess we finally made it to the city." I sighed to Cheval.
We trotted around town for a while. I used this opportunity to buy some new mugs and cups for home becuase sometime Uncle would trip with his tipsy self and break the mugs. *sigh*

Today, the town seemed busier than the other times I came. Well I suppose everyone is making their arrangements for the grand wedding.

We finally reached near the palace and I must say I never expected to get this much attention. From the maids though. I know I have blonde curly hair and turquoise eyes but I don't think I'm that attractive!

Yep, here it goes again. I try my best to ignore them, but it made them try harder to get my attention.

'Just great. You ignore them and they admire you even more. '

Thankfully, a male guard saw me in my damsel in distress situation and opened the gate for me. Obviously he would have noticed me as the 'charming boy that comes to town with Gallian' .

Its odd how we live in the woods but everyone knows Uncle Gallian. Well he does go to town and flirt with the ladies, mostly collecting a slap at the end, and has a drink at the bar. So.... I guess he is known because of that. Maybe....

The castle inside was huge and this was only the peasants area. I walked around asking everyone where to go and who to give the rings to, because, well I was lost. Period. I knew no one and no places. Eventually, I got help from a nice maid, ending with her trying to kiss me on the cheek and succeeded. I am a short person okay. -_-...

I was led to the courtroom where there was a skinny man frantically going through a list of things. I'm guessing the King ordered him to organise the wedding.

"Oh this is great! *sarcasm* the wedding is three hours away and the florists aren't even done, the bride is so stubborn and the groom is still getting the vows wrong! And where is that blasted-! He turned around.

"Oh goody you're here!" His voice changed to a cheery tone. "And the rings?"

I handed him the box with the rings and he opened it inspecting it. Probaly making sure its real gold. A smile of stisfaction came across his face and he sighed with relief.

"Well my dear, you don't know how many people are late today and you were the only one on time." He said looking at the rings. I wasn't sure if he was talking to me or the rings. So I just slowly backed away and headed towards the door. Then his red hair hsd came infront of me.

"And where are you going?! Idiot you forgot your payment!" He tossed a bag of gold and silver coins. Thankfully I caught it in the nick of time.

"Well you are incredibly agile." The man said. "Hey! Maybe you can assist in organising the stuff because to be honest you look like your not busy at all."

" ummm . Sure I can help." I akwardly replied.

And so I was stuck in the castle. For how long? I don't know.
