A Princesses Love Chapter 5 "Cole please just have dinner at the castle with us tonight!" I beg him,"I know you love me. I want to be with you forever and I can't unless we wed before the end of next week. If you not love me then why are we are together? Why do you enjoy my presence? Why do miss me when I'm gone away?" "Even if all those things are true your father would call you a disgrace for marrying a commoner such as I," he replies. "Just one night please I can tell them about you and me," I beg. He sighs in agreement. I squeal with excitement and jump up and down like a child. The tall flowers sway back in forth in the wind. Rags runs circles around us. Cole and I both smile happy to be with each other. I throw myself onto Cole knocking him onto the ground with me on top of him. We laugh as we rise to our feet. "You must wear your finest garments and biggest fur skin," I tell him. He nods in agreement. I stand on the tips of my toes and give him a peck on the cheek. He lifts me onto Tempest. Rags jumps into my saddlebag just as I take off. "Mother, I have found a man that I love. He is joining us for dinner tonight," I inform my mother. "You invited someone here without permission! Tonight king Marcus is having dinner with us and you've caused enough trouble with him already. Tonight you and your guest will not speak no matter what. Even if you are spoken to and even if you are insulted. You will eat your meal and leave," she commands. "Mother! That's so unfair. You won't even let me defend myself. You are too controlling! Don't worry about having to deal with me at dinner because I'm not coming to dinner ever again!" I answer. "What do you mean by that?" My mother asks as I rush off to my quarters. I grab a cloth bag and request that my servants leave me alone. I collect one extra dress and a handful of gold coins. I tie the bag closed. Then I put on my deep blue cloak and carefully pick up Rags. With my free hand I strap my sword to my side and run down the hall. My parents have already figured out my intentions and guards are chasing after me as I run to the stables. I climb onto Tempest as fast as I can and slip rags into the saddle bag. Tempest obviously sensing my urgency immediately starts running. The knights have already been ordered to pull up the drawbridge. The bridge is nearly halfway up when we reach it. I urge Tempest to push on and close my eyes as he jumps. I feel us hit the ground. Tempest trips and we take a hard fall. I dismount and push the horse to his feet. I feed him three carrots and we quickly forge on. Rags whimpers as we travel through the woods to Cole's.
