Chapter 2
Séans P.O.V.
Simon (^) and I trotted back to the stables after having been riding for the past 2 or so hours. I unsaddled him, ran a hand though his dark hair, and fed him a few sugar cubes before heading up to the castle.
I started walking up to where my bedroom was on the 7th floor. But before I made it to the first grand staircase, my mother stopped me.
"Oh, Séan." She called down the hall. I turned to her, and she walked right up to me. "You should not have been out riding, you know that we have to leave in an hours time.
"I'm sorry mother."
"I don't want your apologies. Go get changed. I refuse to present you to your future wife like this." I nodded, and turned to go upstairs again.
"I do not remember dismissing you, Séan." I looked up at the celing, and turned back to mother, putting my 'prince face' back on. "We are leaving in an hours time. If you are not ready to go, then I will not be pleased."
Oh dear, we wouldn't want that would we? I asked in my head sarcastically.
"I understand." I replied.
"Go get changed."
I turned to the stairs again, and started to my bedroom. Up a staircase, to the left, another left, a right, up a flight of stairs, up another, down one then up three, left, right, right, up a flight of stairs, left, around, up a flight, right, left, then I was there.
"Kyler?" I called as soon as I had closed the door to my bedroom. The 14 year old boy came out from the library nook in my bedroom.
He ran up to me, and smiled. "You ready to get ready to go?" He asked enthusiastically, his short dark brown hair glistening in the light. I nodded, and Kyler dragged me to my mirror.
About 30 minutes later, I was ready. Kyler and I have been best friends ever since he was assigned to be my personal butler 6 years ago. A few minutes after I was ready, someone knocked on my door.
"Come in," I called, but my fathers butler was already walking into my bedroom. Kyler quickly scampered away, and out of sight, as I met my fathers butlers gaze. "Yes?"
"Sir, are you ready to leave?"
"Yes," I agreed. "Leave me, I will be at the door in 3 minutes." He backed out of my room, and as the door shut with a click, Kyler came out of the closet. "Why are you scared of the staff Kyler?"
"Well, I just don't want them to think I'm doing my job wrong." I smiled at my best friend sadly, and held my arms out to him. He walked over to me and we embraced for a moment, and I ran a hand through his hair once. "You're doing a teriffic job."
"Thanks. Are we ready to go?"
"Yes. Bring the bag."
"I know." Kyler and I made our way to the front door, and my father, my mother, Kyler, my fathers butler, and my mothers handmaiden all started on the way to Orantulle.
My name is Séan Auctavious Jordan Hampton Billium Peppre. And I have been engaged to the princess of Orantulle since birth.
