Finding Love In Royalty

Chapter 6

I walked over to my bed and I find the next outfit set out. I look over the outfit to see a blue jeggings, a white polo and my riding boots. I change and I see a note sitting on my bed.

Katy-

You are going to meet Prince Zayn at the stables and you are going to go on a ride. The stable hands know what time you need to be back so they will come to get you. See you later

-Shy

I laugh and walk out of my room and down to the stables, just after I walk into the stables I see Zayn petting a beautiful chestnut horse.

"Hello Prince Zayn." I say smiling at him as he jumps away from the horse.

"Hello there Princess." He says with a slight bow, as I walk over to Allison.

"Prince Zayn, you can call me Katy." I say smiling at him as I brush Allison's mane.

"And you can call me Zayn." He says.

"Good, I hate all of the formalities." I say with a slight laugh as I walk over and grab my saddle pad and saddle.

"Here let me help you!" He says moving towards me and I just shake my head and he stops in his tracks.

"I have tacked Allison many times. I can do this." I say with a slight laugh.

"Ok, where can I get a saddle to tack up this beauty with?" He asks.

"Oh right over there, and that beauty is names Chester for his Chestnut color." I explain.

"That makes sense." He says as he grabs a saddle and a pad and walks back over to Chester.

"So what is Bradford like?" I ask him.

"It is a beautiful place, I feel quite at home here. The landscape here looks a lot like Bradford." He says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes, have you ever left London before?" He asks.

"No, my father says it is not the place of the princess to leave the kingdom until she becomes queen." I explain.

"I think that makes no sense." He says.

"That is what I always tried to tell him, but there is no disobeying my father." I say looking down as I finish tacking up Allison.

"Why can you not explain yourself to your father?" He asks.

"My father is a very stubborn man, and what he says goes. If you try to differ from that he gets very angry, and my father is not someone you want to be near when he is angry." I say and he finishes tacking his horse. We lead our horses out of the barn and we mount up and begin to just ride around the open feilds talking about anything and everything but after our talk in the barn we try to keep the topics light and happy.

"So are you an only child?" He asks.

"Sadly yes. When I was little I did have cousins that used to come around once a month, but they were kidnapped when we were little." I say as we dismount and begin to take our horses back into the barn.

"Really? I am so sorry. That must have been very hard to go through." He says.

"It was, but I know that they are still alive they are out there somewhere, and I hope to find them." I say with a gentle smile on my face.

"That is a good way to look at it." He says smiling.

"I know they will be back someday." I say and we silently untack our horses before heading back into the castle. I head up to my room to see Shy setting out my next outfit.
