Finding Love In Royalty

Chapter 7

"Here you need to change now! The stable boys were a little late getting you back up here." She says passing me some clothes. I quickly change out of my riding outfit and change into into a purple knee length skirt, a white button up tanktop with a black collar, a black blazer and my white wedges. Shy runs out of my closet and passess me my purse and begins walking down stairs with me. "You are heading into town with Prince Louis to do some shopping. When you come back I will have your other outfit sitting on your bed." She says just as we reach the foyer. I look towards the door to see Prince Louis sitting on the bench near the door waiting for us.

"Hello Prince Louis." I say and curtsy.

"Hello Princess Kathryn." He says and bows. "Are you ready?" He asks.

"Of course." I say smiling and we walk out of the castle to the limo waiting outside for us. The limo pulls away from the castle and the prince and I sit there in an awkward silence. "So Prince Louis, are you an only child?" I ask him.

"No, I have a couple younger sisters, and a younger brother." He says smiling at the thought of his family.

"What are their names?" I ask trying to keep the conversation going.

"Lottie, Felicite, Pheoebe, Daisy, Doris and Ernest." He says.

"Those are lovely names." I say smiling at him.

"I love them to pieces. Anyway do you have any younger siblings or older siblings?" He asks.

"Sadly I do not. I am an only child." I say. " I have always wanted a younger sibling." I say smiling.

"It is a blessing at times, but it can also be a curse." He says laughing as we pull into town. The limo driver steps out and helps me out of the limo and holds the door open for the prince to get out.

"So Prince Louis-" I start only to get cut off.

"Please call me Louis." He says with a gentle smile.

"In that case you can call me Katy. Kathryn sounds so formal." I say and Louis just laughs at my face.

"I understand. I spend as much time with my people as I can so a lot of the time the title of Prince just bothers me." He says as we begin to just stroll down the street.

"So your father seems like a nice guy..." Louis says as we walk into one of the more expensive stores.

"He can be at times." I say as I walk over to the jewelry section of the store.

"What do you mean?" Louis asks in a hushed voice.

"He has to get everything his way........you are not even allowed to question him." I say as I pick up a necklace with a small heart charm.

"Sounds like my uncle." Louis says.

"Do not get me wrong. I love my father, just sometimes things get a little hard living with him." I say and I continue to move around the store. After a while the limo driver comes to get us and tells us that we must return to the castle. The car ride back to the castle is full of laughs and stories about our favorite memories. Once we get back to the castle I kiss Louis' cheek before I head back up to my room to change for my last 'date' of the day. "SHY!" I yell once I get into my parlor and the door is shut.

"What happened?!" She asks as she comes running out of my bed room.

"This is just getting harder and harder!" I say as I plop down on my couch.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"They are all so sweet and they all seem like the perfect guy!" I say and put my head in my hands.

"I'm sorry sweetie! It will get easier with time." She says. "Now come on, you need to get changed." Shy says grabbing my hand and leading me into my room.
