"Your Highness are you alright !!!" a deep voice came from behind me,
"Get away from her " the guy shouted again
he was wearing a shiny soldier uniform with a mask covering his face, and he charged at me with speed, I stepped aside allowing him to come between me and the beautiful maiden, he put on a fighting stance as he helped her up
"Princess are you alright " It took her a while to answer as she still gazed at my hideous face "Yes, thanks to this man," she said in a voice that could lure ten thousand men to sleep, "What you mean he....?"
"Yes he saved me," she said smiling at me "May I know the name of my hero "
she asked in her alluring voice, of course, she was a princess why else would she be so stunning?, my uncle had told me to never get involved with the royals because they just cared about wealth this princess so far had almost proven him right, remembering my uncle's words I bowed
"My apologies princess, I must go now," I said immediately vanishing Into the Woods for my horses and Aga, "Wait !"I heard her call out but I ignored her
my village wasn't that far from the forest for me as I knew some short paths, on reaching the Gates I threw two apples to Rudan this was a usual routine as he needed it for his medicine
" Marcus welcome back "he beamed
"hey Rudan"
"I suppose you want to prepare for the party?" he asked
" huh, party ?"I gazed questioningly
," Oh the festival that's why you are here so early right?"
I had totally forgotten about the Village festival, well can you blame me I usually hate these occasions, social stigma was one of the reasons and most of the people in this Village are social snobs, passing by the tailor shop,from the translucent mirror I saw Merinder, one of the most beautiful maidens
in Midtown, my crush hanging a blue dress, thinking about it, she wasn't as beautiful as the princess, oh I forgot a princess is princess
On seeing me by the window she waved at me beaming before leaving the mirror
"Aww" I felt something hit me,turning I saw three boys
"Hey ugly, any chance we can borrow your dog ?" they asked
this was stash and his group
"No", I said immediately pulling Aga and the horses along
Our house was a block carved simple inn, a
bit isolated from the town
"Where the bloody hell have you been with those horses" he yelled approaching me, my uncle was a thick tall mascular oldman who
you would never believe is an old man, if he shaves off his beard, he was the strict kind, who only ever saw the faults in people, non the less I adored him
"Good to see you too uncle "
Giving him the horses I went into the house
Jen was like an adorable little sister to me as as she was 7 years old but Lucy however always looked at me with disgust, so apparently I had gotten used to it .
"Marcus!" she came and tagged me, hugging her back I looked up to find Ivy and Lucy with their usual disgusted face
" Marcus, Lucy and I will be going to the party, can you come with us, please" Jena beamed revealing her teeth .
The decision was mainly mine since I could decide whether to go or not but I think occasions like this made Lucy and Ivy feel like I was disgracing them
