"My Prince, here is your horse" came the voice of a man as he held a bay coloured horse with a black mane by the reigns and he walked over to where Liam was standing.
"Thank you" said Liam as he smiled and he collected the reigns from the man as the man bowed.
"You may go now" said Liam.
"Alright my prince" said the man as he bowed once more and he walked away.
"Boy, did you miss me?" asked Liam as he turned to look at his trust horse Nolan, and as if Nolan could understand him, he neighed in reply.
"Oh well, I am sorry, I have had nowhere to go with you" said Liam as he laughed and he patted Nolan on his muzzle.
"But do not worry, we are going out today" said Liam as he smiled.
"And we are taking someone very special with us" said Liam as he smiled and Nolan neighed, as if he was asking who it was.
"Well it is my wife boy, you did know that I got married" said Liam as he laughed, he was sure that people would call him crazy for speaking to a horse as if it could hear him, but the truth was that Nolan could hear him.
Nolan neighed as if he was trying to remember who Liam's wife was.
"You cannot remember her can you?" asked Liam as he smiled.
"Well not to worry boy, you will see her soon, and then you will remember" said Liam as he smiled and he patted Nolan's muzzle once again.
…
"My princess, we have arrived at the stables" said Nora as she turned to look at Wura and she smiled.
"Alright, Thank you Nora" said Wura as she smiled very brightly at Nora, she wondered what she would have done without her, Nora was the closest person to her in this Castle, and Wura really cherished her, even though Nora did not know that at all.
"You are welcome my princess" said Nora.
"Please enjoy your outing my princess" said Nora as she nodded her head and she smiled.
"Wait Nora, do you know where it is that I am going with his highness?" asked Wura as she noticed that there was something that she was not telling her at all.
"Ah… ummm" said Nora as she did not know what to say, the answer was that yes, yes she knew where Liam was taking Wura, and that was solely because she had stepped out earlier and she happened to meet Dawn, who told her that his highness had planned a picnic for the princess, but it was a surprise, and she was not allowed to tell the Princess, and so Nora did not want to lie to Wura, and neither did she want to ruin to surprise.
"Nora…" said Wura as she looked at Nora with suspicion, the girl looked like she was about to burst, and that made Wura laugh.
"Well my princess… it is not in my place to say…I was told not to say anything" said Nora as she explained, she thought that she had disappointed Wura as she did not tell her anything at all.
"Oh well, that is alright Nora, we are already here are we not? So I will find out surely enough" said Wura as she smiled.
"My princess…" said Nora as she looked up at Wura.
"You are not upset with me for not telling you what I know?" asked Nora and Wura smiled gently at her.
"Of course not Nora, why would I be? If it is not in your place to tell, then what else can you do than to follow your orders" said Wura as she smiled.
"You do not always have to report to me" said Wura.
"You are your own person, and so am I, you have your own beliefs and way of doing things, and I understand that" said Wura.
"I do not expect you to attend to my every bellow and whim" said Wura as she laughed gently.
"Thank…. Thank you my princess" said Nora as she smiled at Wura, Wura was really thoughtful and fair, and she never forced anyone to do what they never wanted to do, Wura was truly a kind woman, and Nora was happy that she was the one to serve her.
"You do not have to thank me Nora" said Wura as she smiled.
"Well I must be going now, his highness must be waiting for me already" said Wura with a smile.
"Alright my princess, enjoy your outing once again" said Nora as she bowed her head.
"I will Nora, thank you, you may go now, and make sure to relax" said Wura as she smiled.
"Thank you my princess" said Nora as she smiled and she nodded her head as she walked away.
"Well I guess I have to find out what it is that man is up to" said Wura to herself as she sighed and she shook her head, she did not trust Liam at all, well the thing was that he was very secretive.
Wura sighed as she opened the door to the stables and she walked in as she closed the door behind her, and then she saw him, he was the first thing that caught her eye, he was standing there, patting a bay coloured horse, in the great opening at the end of the stables.
Wura walked closer and then he finally noticed her as he turned to look at her and he smiled.
"Good Noon Wura" said Liam as he smiled at Wura as she walked closer to him.
"Good Noon your highness" said Wura as she smiled and she replied to him, there he was in his usual style, his ruffled chestnut hair, his brown eyes, and of course his warm inviting smile that could easily mislead people.
"You do remember my horse Nolan?" asked Liam as he smiled.
"Oh, how could I forget your highness" said Wura as her eyes twinkled, she loved horses.
"May I pet him?" asked Wura.
"Of course you may" said Liam as he moved to the side and he gave Wura's Nolan's reigns.
"Boy, this is my wife Wura" said Liam as he explained to Nolan and he smiled.
"Hello boy, you are so cute" said Wura as she smiled and she stroked Nolan's mane, which made him neigh, it would seem that he liked it.
"I would appear that my horse if quite the charmer" said Liam as he laughed, it would seem that Nolan was yearning for more attention from Wura.
"I think he learnt that trait from you" said Wura as she giggled and he looked at Liam.
"So you think that I am charming?" asked Liam with a proud look on his face, which made him look very childish.
"I would not say charming per se, but yes it is there, but yours is a type of annoying charm, while Nolan has a very cute charm" said Wura as she explained the differences between their charms as her full attention was on Nolan.
"You seem to have thought of every word to use to refute me" said Liam as he smiled and he shook his head, he did not know if Wura already made plans and thought of words to refute him, or maybe she was just very good at finding the right words to prove him wrong.
"Oh no do not flatter yourself your highness" said Wura as she turned to look at him in annoyance.
"I do not think of you at all, or else all my thoughts would be clouded" said Wura as she smiled at him and she turned back to look at Nolan who was trying to get her attention by stroking her hand.
"I surely do take that as a offense Wura" said Liam as he nodded his head.
"Except your thoughts are clouded from your love for me" said Liam as he smiled.
"I am sorry to say your highness, but other women may have a love for you, but I do not" said Wura as she turned to look at Liam.
"But you are my wife" said Liam.
"Exactly your highness" said Wura.
"If other women who are not your wives, have a love for you, then maybe that love of theirs is fake" said Wura as she smiled at him, it was easy for someone to just say they loved someone else, but it was their actions that proved if that love was truly genuine.
"You always know the right words to say" said Liam as he chuckled, he wondered if it was because she truly disliked him, or if that was just how she was, Liam had a feeling that it was all of the above.
"Thank you your highness, I do try, I really do" said Wura as she smiled at him and he shook his head as he laughed, his wife really was something else entirely.
