Ezra if I didn't know you so well, I would have chopped your hands off for touching the princess.”
Finan!” I was only teaching the Princess how to use her daggers.
“Yes, we'll teach her without your hands on her. Demanded Finan
“Of course! Mumbled Ezra. Looking around noticing everyone had stopped what they were doing, they were bowing. I realized my father was in the room and he wasn’t alone.
A giant of a man was standing next to him, half the guards were standing around the room.
“My King, I try to bow but it turns out awkward.
‘’Aykiz, I would like to meet Lucien!”
“Lucien, this is my daughter Aykiz, she has finally returned to me. Lucien is looking at me with interest and disappointment.
Lucien smiles and looks at my daggers with a nod of his head, “those look rather fashionable on you Aykiz.
‘’Yes, thank you, I'm a little obsessed over them. Drayce told me of the story behind them. I'm honored to use them.”
Lucien smiles then, he looks me up and down. “You make them look good, Aykiz.”
Aykiz!” Lucien will be joining us for dinner. Training is over for today. Finan please escort the Princess to her chambers.”
Finan bowed to the King. “As you wish sir.
I’ll see you soon my dear, with that the King and Lucien walked away with their guards in tow. Finan, Arkyn and Kalypso walk towards me, “when you’re ready princess.”
Ezra walks over, “Aykiz I apologize, that should have never happened.”
Ezra, you did nothing wrong. I mean I don't think you did.
‘’ Aykiz you're a princess, you will have to marry a prince or king, not someone like me. I like you a lot Aykiz, but all I can be for you is a warrior. I knew better.”
Ezra you’re my friend, why couldn’t we be more if we wanted too?”
I don't have a title to match your own. I'll always be a warrior. Ezra turned and walked away,’’ yelling out we are done for the day.”
My heart just broke seeing the hurt in Ezra’s eyes, they mirrored my own.
Z and Drayce walks over, ‘’What was that all about?” asked Z?“
Apparently, Ezra isn't allowed to touch me or have any romantic relationship with me.”
Yes Aykiz, now that you're here, you must be the Princess, meaning you can only have suitors that are equal or higher than you. Ezra comes from a noble birth, but he became my warrior, once he takes an oath of warrior then he forfeits his noble rights”.
That’s so stupid!
‘I am sorry Aykiz. I saw the spark between you two, but I figured nothing would come of it.
‘’That’s just dumb, this is after all the 21st century’’ stated Z.
“Right Z, but we are in Fairy and Aykiz is a Princess. Laws are laws.
“Laws are made to be broken’’ Z shouts at Drayce as he walks away.
“Why does there have to be laws on who can be with who? I was hoping to see where our connection would take us, but apparently not far.” Who knows what will happen Aykiz, maybe you and Ezra will hook up.”
Let's get ready for this dinner shall we Z?” Hooking my arm through his we walk to our rooms with our guards in tow.
