VERENA
'A lonely wench' is what the jobless servants and kitchen maids call me and while they're not wrong, I don't think it's that bad to be honest…. Maybe it is and maybe that is why I have to sneak out at the break of dawn to get something to eat; well luckily, I'm a wonderful cook! I run to the kitchen in my flowy white nightdress if someone saw me, they'll think I'm a ghost with how messy my hair is now. That thought made me giggle as I took a ribbon out of my pocket (I always have ribbons in my pocket for adventures) and tied my hair, my hair is long brown and flowy so much that his highness who's literally set on ignoring me sneaks glances whenever my hair is down. Is it weird that it brings me joy? Well, whatever I'm his fiancé I can feel whatever I want about him, although my mind is always filled with mixed feelings about him.
My line of thoughts got disturbed by the soup that I was supposed to be watching, I hurry to soup off the fire careful not to burn myself, I pick it up and-
A thud- a sound when nobody in the mansion is awake yet
"Do they not even feed their princess?"
A tall dark silhouette spoke, I am stunned, "who's there?" I ask lifting the spoon as my only weapon.
"My lady, don't be afraid I am but a knight who seeks a midnight snack"
He moves a little closer to the light a tanned skin from working in the sun ruffled black hair but piercing green eyes like emeralds if one saw them.
"Oh, now you're just mesmerized! Like what you see?"
"Rude!, you should have walked away when the kitchen was occupied"
"I'm sorry your highness but I am a hungry man"
I was too stunned to speak again, not that I had expected proper courtesy but this man is uncomfortably rude…
"May I?" he walks forward as he grabs the spoon from my hand and takes a bit of soup onto it from the pot and later places it in his mouth….
"An exceptional taste, my lady what are your thoughts on abandoning your title and marrying me? I will never let you go hungry!"
"you speak such insolence, I'm an engaged lady; do you know what punishment you can get simply by talking to me that way?!"
He chuckles, "I'm only joking unless you're actually considering it my lady"
"ugh, there's no talking to you"
I run out of the kitchen with a sulk on my face but with a weird excitement in my heart, no no this is very wrong!
