The Elf Princess

Paris France

We arrived at Paris France and it was prettier then I imagined it would be,  I got off the boat and I waited at the dock, Declan got off as well,  a few men got our luggage, We started to walk, I glanced at Declan he didn't look back he just kept looking ahead. We arrived at the castle and  some maids came and welcomed us,  they brought us to the dining room where the king was,  "please wait here the king shall be here momentarily." Said one of the maids,   Declan and I nodded.  The maid walked away and closed the door,  in the matter of seconds the door opened we both turned around and there stood a man, he had blonde hair and ruby coloured eyes,

"Ah I'm so very sorry for the wait," the king spoke, he didn't have a heavy French accent. 

"Oh no, It's quite alright."  Declan smiled,  "oh, I didn't properly introduce myself,  I'm king Erick and I welcome you to my castle,"   I smiled softly, "your castle is  beautiful." Erick looked at me and smiled, "why thank you, you must be Princess Zathura." I nodded my head. "Why both of you sit down, we have a lot to discuss." Erick pointed to the chairs, we sat down and Erick walked and sat down across from us, "so how is Eudora doing?" He asked putting his hand on his cheek, "Eudora is doing well, we have some travellers that come," Declan replied.

"I see... well are you going to do some sightseeing?" Erick said and looked at me, "yes we are and I'm really excited,"

"That's good, so Declan are you going to become the king of Eudora?" Erick asked kind of harshly,

"Yes I will soon... my father had just died Recently and it's been hard without him," Declan looked down sadly, deep down I knew he was faking, he just wants more attention that's all,

Erick sighed, "Well I under stand, both my parents died when I was younger, I was raised by my grandparents,"

"That's nice," I smiled softly, Erick nodded and smiled, "would you like something to eat? Or drink?" Asked Erick,

"Yes, that would be nice," Declan smiled, Erick then snapped his fingers and a maid standing at the doorway came,

"Please get us some red wine, and some macaroons, "

"Yes sir right away," the maid walked and left the room,

From what I could tell Erick looked young to be a king, my guess he was in his twenties. But I'm in my twenties and I don't know what month I was born in, I should of checked in the library in Findara,

The maid came back and placed the glasses of wine and some macaroons, I took a light pink one and put it in my mouth, the taste was light and airy and there was the taste of coconut, then I took my glass of wine and I took a sip, the taste of the macaroon and the wine had made it more into a cherry coconut  macaroon,  "so how do you like the macaroon?" Erick asked as he sipped his wine, I nodded my head, "it was delicious!"  Eric chuckled, "I'm glad,"

Just then two guards came and they grabbed  me,  I gasped and I tried to struggle, but Erick winked at me, then I got the message this was his plan.  Declan stood up and took out his sword out of its sheath,  "let her go this minute!"

Erick chuckled. "Oh, well  I'm afraid that I can't let her go,  you see when my parents died. A very  special  jewel was taken one day, and it was said that  princess Zathura's parents took it and they wanted to give it to her but they never got too," 

"I'm telling you again let her go...." Declan frowned,  Erick shook his head "I'm sorry but I can't let her go, she will be in our dungeons." What ever he had planed was going to make Declan really upset and I didn't care, Erick walked and he grabbed his sword, "you will fight me and we shall see what happens to the princess, guards send her away!"
