a tale of a lone warrior.

He took it and put the bracelet on the counter. I grabbed it quickly. "I wish I could help with the ring but the couple might have sold it somewhere else, or kept it." I just looked at the bracelet.

I nodded softly and sighed "thank you wel c what we can do if they come back let me know immediately" i said softly

"Of course sir, I'll try to hold them if I see them again until someone arrives to get them," he said. I just looked at Aiden softly.

I nodded "thank you have a good day" i said softly and softly took your arm in my hand and led u away

I followed him quietly. I didn't know what to say, and I had a feeling he was upset with my reaction. He wouldn't understand that this was all I had of my mom, everything my parents had they left behind so they could be free. I didn't have a picture of her.

I sighed softly before finally finding a place to talk without so many ears. "I may not know everything youv gone through but i will not except u shaking our merchants down for information or anything like that. Specially since u are a guest in our house. As for the bracelet and the ring i will do what i can to find the ring for you but i must ask that you restrain urself while under my parents roof." i said softly forcing myself not to yell. Iv been told i have my fathers temper so i tried to keep myself calm in these situations

I looked at him, "normally when I need information I give them a few chances to tell me with what I consider generous chances. If I don't get information and I know they have it I resort to more violent means then I will. But this time the item in question belonged to my mother who I never got the pleasure of meeting. This is literally all I have of her, and believe me when I tell you it devastated my father and I getting this stolen. I may not have any idea of how to feel about her, but I do know that I miss her that much. But you wouldn't understand that because you still have your mother and she's not dying any time soon." I didn't try to hide my anger at him. I wasn't good at hiding my emotions all the time, especially when I'm angry. There was also the fact I couldn't stand anyone to put their nose into my business since they didn't understand me. That's when I decided I'd start walking back to the castle and ignoring whatever he said because we'll probably never solve this discussion without him experiencing what I felt too.

I sighed softly letting it go. "Make sure she gets back safely but keep ur distance il be back shorty just need to make a few quick stops

I barely paid attention to the guard as I went back. Once I was back I went to my room and without thinking I slammed the door and heard something crack in it. I just went into the bathroom.

I sighed and went to a couple other merchants before finally returning and went to my room after checking in with the gaurds to make sure she got back safely

I sighed softly and relaxed in a bath.

I decided to surprise her before dinner with a ring that matched the bracelet but wasnt sure if it was hers or not

I got out of the bath and shook off. I wrapped a towel around my body and went to the balcony so I could feel the wind dry off my fur.

I sighed softly when i finally sat on the balcony before starting to read and didnt see u come out with nothing on bc of how lost i was in the book

I looked out over the fields feeling the cool breeze. The breeze did more than just cool my fur, it helped with my anger too. Though the same feeling I've been having for years remained. I knew some part of my life was empty, and I didn't know what that part was.

I kept reading quietly and flipped through a few pages before finally glancing up and blushed hard noticing u didnt have anything on but a towel

I looked up and saw him. I saw his blush and smiled. I waved at him as if it was nothing for me to be like this.

I waved back and shook my head as i tried to refocus on my book but failed miserably as i kept watching u quietly

I knew my towel was a little loose but I pretended not to notice that it slipped dangerously low on my breasts. I didn't care who else saw me, I was focused on my job. I knew if I could make him feel something for me then I had his family's trust.

I blushed again alittle harder. "U trying to tell me something?" i asked softly finally gaining enough courage to talk

"What do you mean?" I asked with sincere confusion. I stood up and walked to the part that was closest to him. I leaned forward on the railing that separated us, that and the 6 feet between the two balconies.

"Most women would have went back inside once they noticed a guy staring at them. But then again ur not most women. And i think in some way ur trying to attract my attention for something more than just friendship or whatever it might be" i said softly as i got up putting the book aside and walked to the edge of the balcony

"I am just very comfortable with my body sir, so forgive me if I offend you for being so open. I would even take off my towel in front of everyone just to prove it, but I won't. As for me trying to get your attention, well I would say I don't have to get naked to do that. You're not in any way materialistic, so my body is just a plus. You listen to me, and I know if you like what I say then you will fall for me. I only speak the truth, especially now," I said. My towel came undone finally but I caught it before he could see and tucked it up higher in my chest so my cleavage was covered, but not it was very high on my thighs. "Although, I did tell you I like to think of you as my toy. You're so fun to mess with. And you said you prefer that I play with you in the non-death defying way. So this is how I will play with you."

I smiled and shook my head. "And what exactly shall i expect out of whatever this is that we havegoing on here. Or should i ask where are we to take this if we decide to get serious about anything" i said softly

I smiled at him, "I would be willing to try something new. I mean you have a lot to off other than being a prince and I don't really care for your title. It might even be good to try for something like what your parents did. That's on a political level though and if I don't love you and you don't love me, I'm not going to go that far."
