With a bright dimpled smile and his hand held out for you like an angel, was how you first met Ashton, when you were both were children.

—————

Ashton was finishing his fencing match, out in the courtyard; it was something that he hated to do, but after many years of forced practice, he was unbeatable and his skill was beyond compare. He was giving the last strike and finally decided to take a break. He thanked his opponent for the challenge and walked back to the castle to find something to drink.

"Your highness, do you require a drink?" you asked the moment Ashton walked into the castle.

"Oh no its fine (Y/N)" he said with a smile that made you blush, "and please (Y/N) call me Ashton, you know I hate formalities" he said walking to the kitchen.

"But your highness, it's improper for the help to call royals by their name" you said bowing down, not wanting to upset him.

"(Y/N)" he said walking up to you, "you know I never considered you the help, you're also my only friend here, remember," he said with a smile.

"I know,"you smiled, "but still let me at least go fetch you something to eat" you said,

"(Y/N), I can do it myself," he said.

"I know, but as your personal maid, I should at least help you with something," you answered.

"Fine you can go get me something to eat," he said and you began smiling victoriously as you walked over to the kitchen to see what they had prepared, "but you have to eat with me, in the main dining hall, and I'll eat whatever you're having," he finished smugly.

"But..."

"That's my condition, or I won't eat," he said with a smile.

"Fine, go wait in the dining hall," you said as you walked over to the kitchen to retrieve him a plate from the royal cooks.

You have been in the castle from the young age of eight. Before that, you really never had a home since you were an orphan. You were out in the village asking for someone to help you, for anyone to, at least for someone to offer you food or a place to stay. You remember that on the day you first met Ashton, you were sitting on the hard cobblestone road, hoping that anyone would give you anything that could get you food, but it was already midday and no one had given you anything, and by the pain in your stomach, the hunger was getting to you. You were so hungry that you hardly noticed the figure in front of you.

"Hey where are your parents? You shouldn't be by yourself" you heard a voice say.

You looked up and saw a young boy about your age with the most beautiful hazel eyes staring down at you.

"I don't have any," you responded weakly.

"No parents?" he asked confusedly, "but doesn't everyone have parents?"

"Not me," you answered not noticing that the boy was staring at you sadly.

He was about to ask you something till he heard the rumbling of your stomach, "You're hungry?"

You nodded embarrassed and looked up at him to see him holding out his hand for you to take and smiling at you, wanting to help you, something that no one really did. You didn't know if you could trust him, but seeing that dimpled smile you knew that you could. You placed your soft hand in his, and he led you to the castle. You didn't know why he was taking you there, till he explained that he was the prince. You felt so improper looking down at your raggedy clothes and not being clean; you wanted to tell him that you were fine, but he refused to let your hand go and led you inside. He made people bring you food and told you to eat and not to be shy, and you weren't, since you had not eaten a real meal in days.
