Chapter 10 The Princess Storms the Other Castle

             Princess Marinette Snow White is rather angry.  She believes she has the reason to be when the life of the kind-hearted prince Adrien Agreste may be in danger.  She rides her horse away from her palace towards his home. She can only hope she arrives on time.

            She stops for a short break to give her ride a few carrots and a small sugar cube. She makes sure to give the animal some water from the stream as well. She is grateful it is a safe area since the last thing she needs is to have a dead creature with her.  She eats a few bites of the snacks she brought along for the journey and drinks some water from the canteen.  

            The princess finishes and climbs back aboard the horse. She is glad she brought along her shield and some weapons. She does not know who she will come in contact with along her way.  She wishes to be ready for anything. She recalls her late father's words, "My child you must make sure to be on guard at all times.  As a royal anyone could be a threat, so trust no one and consider all your enemies.   Keep these in mind and you will live a long, prosperous life as the queen as you should be when it comes time for you to be in charge of the kingdom."

          She shakes her head as she thinks how ironic her father could not even use his advice to his advantage. She knows for sure he would still be alive if he had.  She does not reason to fall into the same trap.  She arrives at the Agreste castle a few hours later.  She is a bit worn out from her travels, but ready for a fight if it comes to it. She did have a small nap while she waited for the horse to finish with his business behind a tree.

        "Sire, there appears to be someone here,"  A servant to King Gabriel announces.

         "Yes, dear it looks as if he is right," Queen Emilie remarks.

       "Do not worry, dear, I am sure the traveler is someone come to make a treaty with us or something," King Gabriel says to try to reassure his wife.

         The guards outside the place say,  "It appears that the visitor is not happy.  In fact, by the looks of it, they have come here to take charge."
   

      "Well, in that case, set up the catapults and launch them a warning,"  The king states.

         "Yes, your highness, right away,"  A guard says. 

           "On it sir," The other guard tells him.

      The guards send a fiery signal in the direction of the person who dares to approach their home since this was the order of the king.  They are not about to argue with him because to do so would be treason.  Treason would result in things too horrible to discuss let alone allow to happen to them.

     "Hey, you there!" The lady calls out.

     "Y-yes?"  A guard shouts.

      "I come here to speak to the rulers of the castle," She yells.

      "What do you wish towards them?" A guard asks.

      "I assure you I only want to speak to them," She answers.

          The guard speaks to the king and queen, "Your majesties, the lady insists she has an audience with you so she may talk to you both."

         "Alright then, tell her to proceed," The king says.

        "Yes, sire," The guard replies.

            "Miss, the king says you may carry on so he and his wife may grant your request," The guard tells her.

          "Very, well sir,"  She says.

              The princess smiles as the bridges are lowered, so she might cross them unharmed.  She gets the horse to slow down its pace so as not to alarm the occupants of the place. Once inside, she goes before the king and queen, and bows to give them honor.
