We were nearing and I could feel it. The excitement of finally reaching the destination I had dreamed of was rushing into my body.
The houses of the residents could be seen and the residents were appearing more in numbers. A wide smile stretched on my face as I realized that, finally, we were close to the capital, very, very close.
"You see to be very happy, my lady." The merchant commented as he watched me with keen eyes. "I must say, what a beautiful smile it is."
I lowered my gaze as my cheeks heated up. "Thank you, sir." I used a royal term making him arch a brow in return. "What?" I giggled and watched him too. "You look at me like I am a. . ."
". . . A Princess." He finished. "For you, your quick wit, your eternal beauty and just, everything about you, is Royalty."
"What royalty?" I tilted my head at him.
He laughed a bit before saying, "Because, for a villager like me, Royalty is out of reach."
