Andrew’s Pov
It is now dusk – King Alexander’s carriage and his soldiers await for the princess and I to make our appearance at the front of the castle. I stand at the stair case patiently awaiting for the princess to make her descend from her room. I am lost in thought until I see the King enter the hallway and make his way to me. I examine him and my heart breaks as I see the sadness and loss that is evident in his eyes. When he nears me I bow my head in respect and in pity – however , he sees it as a sign of respect rather than a sorry excuse to show sympathy.
“Andrew…” the king calls my name – I thought he was going to go upstairs to see the princess but he stops in front of me with destress in his eyes. I lift my head from it’s small bow and I make eye contact with the king – awaiting for him to tell me what it is he wants to tell me.

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I hear the guards of my castle , sadly blow me a farewell with their trumpets. I peek my head out through the curtains in this beautiful and comfortable carriage , to see a group of the people who took care of me wave me off. I saw the women excessively cry at my departure ; their tears wiped away by a white cloth that dries their sorrowful tears. The men look towards the carriage with a stone like look , but their eyes show much sorrow. I watch as my father wipes away a tear or two that fall from his eyes – however , once the carriage passes the castle gates , he turns around and walks away. With that little action , I knew I was in uncharted territory – I knew that I now had no one to lean on except Andrew. Andrew was not permitted to sit with me in the carriage , even though I really wished he could. Due to our difference in s

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s POV We began our journey to our new home – well our temporary home. However , with the plan my father so aggressively shoved my way ; not even considering the risks that it may have. Did he even consider the princess’s safety? Sure , he wants to save her but how sure is he that Alexander will not hesitate to kill her if necessary. Did he consider the lives of our soldiers? Sure , they may have the upper hand due to ambushing Alexanders troop – but what my father fails to realize is that Alexander has always been one step a head of us this whole time. There has to be some sort of way , some sort of source he has that is telling him every thing he wants to know about what we doing or what are our plans. I feel the sun harshly shine down on us – our foreheads leak with dirty sweat. The leather that I sit on , burns me through my clothes.

___________________________________________________________________________ Andrew’s Pov My mind curious about the ways of the King – not my King , but King Alexander. I wonder if he has changed his mind about war or the princess – I wonder if in the space of a few hours , if he has changed his mind about ever being involved with us. How ever , I know deep down that can not be true. A man like him could never change , especially if he is good at who he is and what he does. I slowly guide my horse to the right , following his directions. Is he taking her back home? I wondered as he took the road that was leading us back to the castle – how ever , some thing about it all just did not make any sense. Why put us through all of this trouble? Why put the princess in such trauma , only to leave her back home? It just did not make any sense. “Take this map…When you reach

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov The night rolls in as slowly as the night before – I pull the curtain aside staring at the the beautiful night sky. The stars beautifully twinkle , they look like little dew drops that lay on a flower petal in the mornings – how ever , they twinkle away. I see them twinkle like the night before , the night before that and the night before that. It has been three days and three nights since Andrew and I have left our home – our palace. It has been three long , exhausting day and three long . extremely hot and uncomfortable nights. How ever , I try not to complain much because I know that I have the easy while every one else is suffering outside. I look through my window and my eyes lands on a dying fire – the soldiers have burnt the fire to ensure that every one has had a cooked meal. I watch all the soldier’s loudly snoring as they are hu

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I know I am dreaming – it is not hard to figure that out. I know that I am dreaming be cause in my dream I am sitting on my old bed. Oh lord , only know do I realize how much I miss it – after spending sleepless nights on this carriage seat. Though , I must admit I am asleep right now but guaranteed that I only fell a sleep a few hours ago – If I were to wake up this second , it would still be night out. So I decide to stay a sleep , pass my time with this dream. Back to my dream – I find my self sitting on my old bed. I look to the glass stained doors , and notice that the stars are out just like they were before I had slept. How ever , these ones seemed to have a home and comfortable feel to them. I sat there admiring the stars like I always do , hoping to see the moon…I was smiling from ear to ear , until I

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov I sit up straight , surprised by the announcement that Alexander had given me. How could we be there already – well , we did just travel for a while. I am thankful that this travelling is over , but I dread that it is not home that we are slowly approaching. It is sadly my new home – my new hell or heaven. How ever , I doubt that it would be heaven – it lacks some thing but I just do not know what. May be…it is love? May be…it was my family , or that safety I used to feel. Who knows what a waits me here – who knows what I will have to face here. I begin to neaten my self for every one in the kingdom is waiting for my arrival. I start my tucking the stray hair behind my ears – I feel around my head looking for some thing so that I can clip my hair with. Only when I feel nothing , I recall that I had thrown my c

___________________________________________________________________________ Rosemary’s Pov We near the castle – my nerves get the best of me. I feel a sudden urge to run away – run far away and hide from every one. I know that I seem like a coward , but I did not know I would feel this nervous about entering a new land – to stay in a new castle. I sit up straighter , trying to show that I am confident but deep down I know I am not. I hear the trumpets get louder and louder as we approach the castle. The more I hear it , the more my heart beats in fear and nervousness. I begin to hear the cheers of the crowd – their cheers are soothing as I realize that by their cheers , they are not as fearful as I thought they would be. I feel a cool breeze blow by me – the curtains in the carriage fly from their original places . I take this chance to look at the crowd , to see if they are as horrifying as I imagined them to be. When I mov

Rosemary’s PovHow can I describe it to you?...It was as if my entire being was being hugged by some one you trust with all your heart and all your soul. It felt strange to have such a feeling – this feeling was quite frightening to feel. It was strange to feel this type of intimacy for some one after just glancing at them. It is not like I have known him for years , I do not even know his name yet the peace he brings me is intoxicating and some thing I cuddle closer to.“I see you approve of my kingdom already…” I hear Alexander speak to me , a chuckle follows. I am so lost in the mysterious boy’s dreamy eyes , I do not notice that I have a smile spread across my face – a smile that I did not fake , for once , but a genuine smile of pure happiness and joy.“Huh?!” I voice out my confusion , only to realize what my reaction looks like to King Alexander. To him , I look pleased and I am joyfu
