Violet took the flowers that he had brought for her and blushed then giggled after he used the word "gobsmacked" then turned back into her house without a word and laid the flowers on her kitchen counter. She came back still blushing a little and shut the door behind her.<br/><br/>"Thank you." She said and brushed her hair behind her right ear. "So...where are we going then?"<br/><br/>She looked up at him and noticed how cleaned up he was. He looked very nice and was really quite an attractive man. She was awestruck to be the lucky girl that got to go on just a date with him. Most girls would fall head over heels for a man that looked like this. She brushed past him to start heading down the stairs and stopped when she caught view of the street and the car parked right dead center.<br/><br/>"Um...is that yours?" Violet said and pointed at the shiny red car.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Vanessa laid on her bed in her chambers late that evening. All the hurt and the rage building inside her, she wanted to leave, to find that man and put an end to his life. "Wretched men like that don't deserve to leave." She said aloud and began to pity herself for the loss of someone so dear to her. It wasn't long before her mind started to wander to the upcoming events. Who would take the thrown? What about the princess? Then she realized. The poor princess. She doesn't even know that she's been orphaned. She'd been awaiting a visitor that never showed. That poor, young girl, sitting all alone and having no idea why her own mother never showed on that day.<br/><br/>Vanessa sat straight up and rushed through the corridors of the palace until she found the secretary's bed chamber and she pounded on the door until he opened it.<br/><br/>"She doesn't know." She said to him wide-eyed and then he responded with a slight head shake. "I must go, at least see her, tell her myself. She's all alone and she's been left in the dark for too long."<br/><br/>"Go," he said, "but it is not time for her return. Be back by tomorrow evening, and be discreet, be safe." He said, he was worried, about the soldier. She could see it in his eyes. She nodded to him and then headed back to her chambers to grab what little items she needed for her short trip.
