Letter

470 16 5
                                    


Samantha stood, staring at the letter that was just handed to her. The envelope was trimmed with a fancy gold design, and had the Queens signature itself.  She couldn't believe it.
Is this really for me? Samantha thought as she carefully peeled the envelope open. She pulled the letter out and gently placed the envelope on the table. She held her breath as she began unfolding the letter...

Miss Seabury,
             It is a request from the Queen herself, that you come to England to stay with her. The explanation as to why will be explained when you get there, and only then you'll understand. Your boat will be in the docks tomorrow morning at ten o" clock. Show this letter to the guards, and they'll accompany you to your room. You should be to England within a few days, as this is the fastest and fanciest traveling boat in England.
                   See you soon dear,
                                        Queen Georgia iii

Samantha felt a huge grin spread across her face as she skimmed through the letter again. She really couldn't believe this was happening. She hugged it to her chest tightly along with a small and happy sigh.



______9:50 A.M, Tuesday_____

Sam flattened her dress and walked up to a guard, who was flirting with a young lady. She waited a few moments, trying not to be rude, before tapping his shoulder.
The guard snapped around with a snarl before growling out a question;
"What do you want?!" He eyed her with squinted eyes, as she fumbled with her bag, looking for the letter. Samantha became felt her face burn from embarrassment, and she mumbled something about being more organized. After a few minutes, she finally pulled the paper out and handed it to the guard, responding hastily.
"H-here. Her m-m-majesty told m-me to give this to y-you..." She stumbled out and straightened up. She hated being so shy.
The guard read the letter before widening his eyes. "I-I'm sorry miss... I didn't know you were the guest the queen told talked about..." He responded, looking away with an ashamed look. Samantha felt a little better, but also satisfied, and she nodded before curtsying. "It's alright, sir. I would've waited, but it's almost ten..."

The guard smiled. "Of course. Follow me." The guard said as he gave the lady he was talking with a wink, walking past Samantha. Samantha followed him to the docks.

One day later

Samantha lay in her bed as the sea rocked the boat. She sighed, and wrote her daily entry in her journal.

Dear Diary,
This trip is taking too long. I know it's only been one day, but I can't help but get nervous at the thought of meeting her. A sailor flirted with me earlier this morning. Ha, like I would EVER be interested in someone like him... The truth is, I fancy the queen. I don't mean that just as a loyal subject of the kingdom. I fancy her quite more than that...
That's all for now,
Samantha
