-Josie-
I wake up to the bright afternoon sun filtering in through the curtains in my room. I ring the bell that Amarna informed me of to summon her.
"A message arrived from His Highness while you were sleeping. He asked me to tell you once you woke up." She says.
"What did Kaden say?" I ask, stifling a yawn.
"He asked me to inform you of a dinner tonight, with the Queen and the Prince consort of France." Camille and Ahren.
"Thank you for letting me know." I say and then get out of bed.
"Would you like to change back into your dress, Your Highness?" Amarna asks.
I shake my head, "I'm fine in this. Can you please fix my hair and make-up?"
"Of course." She immediately begins brushing my hair.
Soon Amarna leads me out of the room and shows me the bedrooms. Kaden's is the same as mine. All ready for his use. The other three are furnished but vacant for any guests we might have in the future. There is one large balcony that overlooks the front of the estate and a smaller one at the back that has views of the fields that neighbor the back of the estate.
Next Amarna shows me around the ground floor of the house. The hallway from the foyer gives way to a dining room, a living room and at the very end a huge kitchen. From the foyer there is a second hallway that I didn't notice which leads to a hall to host formal dinners and events.
"Can you please bring me coat so that we can step outside?" I ask Amarna who hurries off to fetch it for me.
The gardens are lush and beautiful with flowers and trees. We're walking back towards the the house when I spot a car stop outside the doors and Kaden steps out.
"Exploring?" He questions.
"Yes, and I love it." I sigh as I take his arm.
"I have a present for you. I wanted to show you tomorrow morning when you'd have time to use it but I can't help it anymore." Kaden says and takes my hand as he leads the way around the house towards the back.
Amarna and I hadn't gotten to this part yet but I gasp when I see stables there. I love riding!
"I wanted you to have a piece of something you love here with you." Kaden smiles at me.
"You got me a horse?" I venture, excited to know.
"Even better." He smirks as we reach the stable doors and the man there pushes them open for us before stepping away.
"Heather!" I exclaim in a very un-lady like manner when I see my horse from Illea in one of the stalls.
"You had Heather brought here?" I feel tears prick my eyes as I turn away from the brown horse to look at Kaden, my hands pressed to my heart.
His lips are stretched into a heart melting smile that I catch with my lips. He wraps his arms around my waist as he deepens the kiss.
"I love you so much, Kaden." I whisper.
"I love you, Josie." He whispers back.
