I arrive in Caricosia with little problem. They seem to have prepared thoroughly for my arrival. My carriage breaks through the crowd of people laughing and walking about,going from shop to shop enjoying the beautiful day. Their clothing is colorful and outgoing and semi formal. Back in Plaidin clothing style is based upon your status. With the royalty having the more formal and regal look. The sense of equality this kingdom has makes me smile. "My Lord? Have you heard a word I said?" My first knight,Arthur,pulls me from my mind. "What is it Arthur?" He huffs. "My Lord you must be more focused while we are here. We are relying on this meeting today to go well." I look at my knight. Dark skin,dark hair,and light eyes. My best friend."I know Arthur. But could you stop with the my Lord stuff? You know how I feel about it."
Arthur gets serious. "Jace we have to be on our best behavior. We have to put up a good impression of Plaidin nobility. You have to act like a prince. You have to be the future king. The king they need to see." As much as I hate the idea,I know he's right. "Ok Arthur. Just stop being so serious your eyes are doing that thing again. You know where they go all dark and unlife like. And I heard that the princess is a beauty and kind. I can't wait." Arthur smiles at this. Even though he is a knight and a very loyal one at that he is still into beauties. "I've heard the same thing. We are here." Their castle is amazing. It's not over the top but noticably royally made. "This ought to be interesting." I say and climb out of the carriage.
We are immediately greeted by a few servants . "Hello my Lord and welcome to Caricosia. Allow me to take you to their majesties." I nod once and follow the older butler through the huge doors. Inside is simpler then I thought. It's not over the top, in your face,I'm rich like most places back home. My parents really like flaunting their money. I don't mind to show it off much either. "This way my Lord." The Butler calls pulling me out of my head and down a hallway. We stop at a door a few minutes later. "They are right through here my Lord. And I believe the princess should be along soon." With that he leaves,Arthur bows and strolls away. "I will see you later my Lord. I draw a deep breath and knock. "Come in." A male voice answers. I enter and am greeted by the king and queen. I glance at the king and look at the queen and she is indeed beautiful, especially for an elder. If their child is even half as beautiful as her then I'm in for a surprise. I bow deeply to them. "When I was told of your beauty you majesty I didn't believe that a women could be this beautiful. Now I know." I say with a smile. She smiles back and nods. "Thank you Jace you have good manners." The king claps me on the shoulder. "Now my boy don't go trying to take my queen. I know she is a beauty,but our daughter is a sight for eyes as well." Although the king is speaking to me he is staring at his queen. His eyes are full of love and devotion. A look I haven't seen on my parents for awhile. They still love eachother that much I can tell but they aren't the same.
A knock comes on the door. "Come in." The door opens to reveal the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Her dark hair falls gracefully around her silky porcelain skin. Her lips are full and a soft pink. High cheeks bones and a very good body. The dress she wears reveals that. But the most amazing thing about her is her eyes. A bright icy blue that makes my heart pound. "Hello." I can't help but stare at her and hear nothing as the king speaks. "My beautiful girl allow me to introduce Jace. Future king of our neighboring country Plaidin." I break out of my trance and bow. "My lady." So this is the woman I am going to marry? I doubt my parents knew just how beautiful she was when this was arranged. She takes a deep breath and smiles kindly at me. The smile makes her face light up and even more beautiful. "Hello Jace. It's nice to meet you. I am Ariella princess of Caricosia." I almost ask her to say my name again. Hearing it come from her makes me want her to say my name all the time. I stroll towards her and take her hand kissing the top of it gently. "Your father was right you are very beautiful." A slight blush coats her cheeks and I smirk. Easily embarrassed? This ought to be fun.
