My parents exchange glances."Now honey you are getting to an age where you need to start thinking about finding someone" my father said kindly. My mother just sat there not saying anything. I couldnt believe this. Before I knew it I had thrown off my dress, my under dress was the only thing showing. I throw up my hair and set out. The air outside smelled musty and fresh mud squished under my feet. Blaze stood and swished his tail watching me walk up.
"hey buddy" I walked over and stroked him. I walked over and grabbed his saddle and throw it on him. "lets go for a ride" I ran over towards my bag and throw it on my back. Just as I was about to leave the person I didn't want to see walked in.
"Do all girls ride around in their underdress?" Prince Zander asked. I froze and turned to face him.
"Do all boys sneak up on girls?" I tried to sound kind but with the anger toward my parents it was hard not to sound pissed. He looked at me as I climbed on Blaze."Not all boys. Now answer my question." I huffed
"No just me. Did you need anything my prince" he seemed to flinch at the name. It was odd but I didn't dare say anything.
"Please just call me Zander, now I am here to address the rules and take you back to the palace." he studied me for a minute. "That or we could go on a ride and address the matter" I stared and then pointed at my fathers horse.
"Saddle up I need to clear my head." I said after a sigh. I watched him grab the spare saddle and place it on Rose. He climbed on and I took off. I took a path only I knew about. Zander looked confused but followed. The trees seemed to lean close as we talked. Shadows danced as we rode by and the sun shined bright. A gentel breeze made the trees shake. It was a beatiful day for a ride

I steped out of my room holding a bag and a book. My chest had already been taken down to a carriage. My parents waited for me outside. both were wearing big smiles.
"Oh we are so proud, you are going to win his heart no matter what the other girls are like." My mother hugged me while my father looked at me.
"Good luck my little star." he the kissed my forehead. I bid them good bye and climbed in the carriage. It was a quite ride till Lucy climbed in. her red hair was wet and the whole time she talked of how she would win over the prince. The last person we picked up was Selena . When she climbed in the carriage seemed to grow colder. She looked us over then sat in the darkest corner of the carriage. The trip lasted another hour after that. Most of the time I was reading or trying to shut Lucy up. when we turned a bend a tall palace stood in view (Picture at top). This was my new home for a month.A/n: Hey guys I know that my stories are not good but please stick with me. I hope you do like this one. Updates are when I can have a great day
