It's the wide green landscape of Greenhill kingdom who's caught my eyes. The way to the capital is the longest I've ever ridden in all the 20 years of my life. After a sprint up the hill, the horse breathes heavily, . The wind is loosening the knot of my hairstyle and strands of hair are tickling my face. Laughing turning around to the chevalier behind me. My childhood friend since he's been brought to our city.
Raymond is a child of the fairies who live in a hidden city in a mysterious forest. Slave traders captured him while hunting and sold him to a noble family. He was a gift for the royal family later on and my father gave him the job as my chevalier. He may be way older than me, but he has been by my side since forever and has recieved my trust. He's family to me.
"Ray can you see this beautiful landscape? These fertile plains could feed the whole country over years with only one harvest." Now Raymond is looking around with a blankly face. "It's nature. Gras, trees and fields all around the stone way. The same like at home only bigger. I can't understand your enthusiasm, princess." Smiling and nodding I'm pushing the horse. "This is the country of my future husband. Naturally I'm searching, to use it for the population. We can visit the different villages and our two countries can profit from each other."
3 days ago, my father has brought me the news of my engagement with the crown prince of Greenhill kingdom my childhood crush. Lucas and I have been visiting each other often and we were growing up together. And I'm in love with him since I'm 8 years old. He'd admired me since forever and was chasing after me. With 10 we've vowed to marry each other under the moonlight and i've fallen for him deeply. Afterward we had to part for a long time and couldn't see each other, but my feelings never changed. He's the person to fight for the one he loves and will do everything for her. I'll move to him and the marriage takes place in the following 8 months. Even after it, Raymond will be by my side until our bond breaks.
After another 2 hours we can see the big castle of Greenhill kingdom. All around, the houses of the big capital, arranged like a mountain of houses. Up the hill, the castle, built of white marble sparkling in the sun. In the valley the buildings from the rest of the citizens. A wall separates the mansions of the nobles and the houses from the normal people. I rumage in the saddlebag and take out a silver collar holding a red stone. "Wear this, it's not a real one. The stone is fake, but otherwise you won't be allowed to stay by my side. Pierre will arrive tomorow with my luggage, take him right to my room." Without doubt takes Raymond the collar from my hand and puts it on. "I will, my liege". All ready, Raymond and I are riding down a little hill and step in the city.
