I could not help but clench my lips together at her gaze, and I could definitely tell she had much on her mind. A bit about me... and the rest about something else. Family matters? perhaps... It was this feeling that when she walked away down the stairs. That I knew I could not leave her be, at least. In a way that would not cause the Princess Scarlett from hating me even more on top of whatever reason she hated me now to begin with. I waved my hand at the maids and my friend. "Please, take my friend to our rooms and the such. I need to do something as of this moment."<br/><br/>I did not look back as I followed the princess, and when she encountered her father in such a way. It was all I could do but stay back, and wait till the encounter was finished in a way that left the king fuming with frustration and the princess hosting an uncontrollable set of emotions. So far, it just seemed like she was in terrible grief, but over what? he did not know... so far. It looked like the only problem was between her, and her father. Though that was often the case between family members. I hurried along and before I even had a chance wonder where she was going, he remembered what Scarlett and her father was talking about.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"To your mothers garden, eh?"</span>At least that would help him understand what to expect when he caught up to her, and it was not difficult, considering he only had to follow her armored guards whom were at the castle long enough to be able to find her easily. Slipping outside after them. I quickly walked up to their backs and held a hand on there shoulders, just as they reached the corner to the Gardens. Startled, one of the drew there blade and turned, pointing it in my direction, I quickly drew my own blade, parrying the blade and sending it to the wall with ease. "Did you just draw your sword to me? Princess's guard?"<br/><br/>The man's eyes widened "Oh... the prince! I apologize greatly! Please, do not tell the king about my mistake!"<br/><br/>I eyed the guard and his pal, who was staring at his fellow guardsman with panic. "Look, man... I just- we should go. Apologies, again Prince Montgomery... my friend here did not mean any harm!"<br/><br/>"Fine! just go back inside and wait for the princess, I will ask her to come back in shortly... and pick your sword up man! find out how to use it before you poke someone's eye out, it is not a toy!"<br/><br/>"Yes- yes prince montgomery. I will not disappoint you or the king- but... We cannot just leave her out here alone even with you. We are suppose to keep her safe just as the king ordered!-"<br/><br/>"Well I am ordering you to go wait inside, now." I stared into the guards eyes, and he did not look away, instead he just nodded his head. "Fine- I will do that. Just make sure you do not let her leave, she has to be inside soon. Prince Montgomery." The guard was now serious, not afraid or paniced. So I nodded my head. "Just give her a moment." I murmured, and the guards walked back the way they came, one picking up the sword on the ground and turned the corner to the gates in wait for the princess and me. Slowly, I got closer to the corner and leaned right where it turns to the garden. Looking on at the grief stricken princess with curiosity.<br/><br/>"You know, I am still trying to figure you out, ever since I saw you up those stairs I have been trying to figure you out in fact." I sheathed my sword and crossed my arms. "You know, it is okay to cry, no one would think the lesser of you for it- especially me. Though I doubt you care about what anyone thinks-" I smiled slightly in a good way. "- especially me." I said again with a shrug. "- I hope that you can come to trust me... I promise that most of the people I have met could voice that I am not a bad guy, and I hope that you don't think I am." I lick my lips for a minute before looking around at the garden. "It's uh- a very beautiful garden. Did you plant all this?" I asked, well aware it was probably Scarlett's mothers after hearing about her going to her mother's garden.<span style="font-style: italic">I just want Scarlett to tell me something, try to get her to say at least say something to me that was not negative.</span>"We have not known each other long at all, but in that short time I still want to get to know you at least." I explained, trying to justify my asking about the garden in a way that was kind of friendly instead of pulling my usual charm talk.
