Amelia gladly got taken off her horse by Noble only giggling at his comment. "I like going fast and I'm sorry, you aren't very light." How could she pass up an opportunity to tease the gypsy. Only to laugh more with a smile on her face. "He won't kill you as long as you don't make me angry..." As Amelia said that Eisa nudged Noble with his head slightly. An action to see if the male was safe and a warning not to get close to Amelia. "Can't help that he is my bodyguard."
Quickly Amelia turned and walked right into the small home without a warning. "William!" She cried out cheerful hearing a few stumbles and then someone running down a flight of stairs. "Ame!" William said stopping dead in his tracks, with a slight cough. "What are you wearing?..." He asked before seeing Eisa standing next to a gypsy changing his question completely. "What have you done?" William was a tall man, with a good build, hazel eyes, and some features like the princess. Like the same Auburn hair as Amelia only he had it pulled back at the nape of his neck with a ribbon. But he looked nothing like royalty, seeing as he wore clothes that a farmer would and he was sprouting a good deal of stubble. That Amelia laughed at before dragging him outside. |
Noble rolled his eyes and rapped the horse smartly on the muzzle. "Enough, I won't hurt your precious princess. He turned and followed Amelia only to see her brother burst out and accuse him. "What have I done???" What was it with this family, thinking gypsies were evil creatures? "Okay, fine, you caught me. I raped the shit outta your sister and I've decided she is going to stay with me as my love slave." He glared at the male as he whipped out the sarcastic words. "Yes, princess, wonderful idea to come here. I can just see how much help your brother will be." |
Eisa snorted in complaint before trotting off his head held high, it wasn't over yet.
William looked at the gypsy with a raised eyebrow before laughing to the point tears were on the rim of his eyes. "Young man, that was directed towards my little sister. She is quite the troublemaker. I have nothing against you or your people. But if you did do those things to my sister I would have something against you." "Don't try to explain it to him. He is just a hot headed Brute." Amelia glared at Noble only to get hit on the head by her brother not to speak so rudely and she elbowed him in the side, which led to her being in a head lock. "Now without the hostility and sarcasm can you explain to me what is going on. I would let my sister but I would rather hear it from you." William struggled to talk as he was trying keep from laughing as his sister protested venomously. Showing that Noble wasn't the only one she had a sharp tongue with and acted towards only gypsies with disrespect. |
"Hmphf." Noble snorted, before sighing. "Your father has my sister. I need to get her out without giving the princess ba-..." He frowned. Probably not the best idea to tell the crown prince he'd kidnapped his sister. "I need to get her back." |
As soon as William let go of his sister, Amelia filled in the rest of the story. "He forgot to say he kidnapped me without knowing I was the princess. They need money and supplies to get out of this place because of our father. I think you can piece together the rest of why I came to you. Now I'm going to change." Amelia said walking off to get out of the gypsy clothes. It was inevitably that she was going back to the palace to stay.
William listened to both of them then nodded. "Alright. I think I can figure out my sisters plan. Follow me please." He said leading Noble into a different room, that was William's study, a complete disaster area. "I can give you the gold now that you probably tried getting for my sister and knowing her she will probably get you even more. Her plan is probably saying she was staying with me, then the ransom was the gypsy way of getting gold to leave. Then it will be my job to convince him. Which won't be too hard..." William rambled on as he sorted through his junk. Finding the small trunk he desired he cleaned off the desk before setting it on top of the desk. He opened it to reveal, all kinds of coins and jewels. A collection of monthly allowances he got from the King. "Take what you need or all of it if you desire." |
Noble's mouth fell open...He'd never seen so much gold in his life. Without asking permission, he grabbed an empty burlap bag laying on a nearby chair and began shoving gold into it, though he glared at William as he did so. There was a tiny pang inside as he realized Amelia was leaving for good. Now. Noble focused on his words to take his mind off the forbidden fruit. "So, you mean, you're just going to ask him to let my sister go? And you expect him to, without sending soldiers out to slaughter us?" |
William leaned against a wall with a sigh when the gypsy boy glared at him. It amused him slightly, couldn't help but think of Amelia. He was surprised Amelia got captured by the gypsy. Not like his sister didn't know how to take someone down when she wanted too. It made him want to know more about the boy and how he got his sisters attention.
"Persuasion. My Father dislikes you guys greatly, almost to the point of hate. He wants you gone and out of his country. Would of killed you by now if he wanted but he is unwilling to soil his image. Wouldn't dare to slaughter a gypsy if they were willing to leave. I can get you a time limit to get out of this country, if you don't leave by then. I can't help you. But the thought of you being gone will over joy him. Your sister can relay the message and I will bring her back to you." |
"Why should I trust you?" Noble demanded after a moment. "This could all be a trick!" |
"Would I give you all that gold if it was a trick and my sister would of never of came to me for help if it was. She seems to of taken a liking to you... But it would be too much of a hassle to do all this then trick you." William looked at Noble impressed that he was willing to talk to him like that. Really if he was tricking the lad he would of killed him by now.
Amelia then walked into the room fussing over the dress. She had a corset on, the same cloth shirt, skirt when they meet. Only difference she had three more skirts on varying in length, color, and fabric, then a small hat with her hair pinned up and the corset was crushing her chest. |
Noble didn't have a chance to respond as Amelia returned. He glanced at her brother, before shaking his head. "You're wrong. When can you get her freed? I want to be nearby...to take her home and out of this forsaken land." Though Noble willed them not to, his emerald eyes moved back to the princess, eying the clothes. The gypsy clothing had suited her better, in his opinon. However, he couldn't help but notice how the corset showed off her womanly asses-Nope! Noble stopped that thought, and shook his head to clear it, once more focusing on William. |
"I'll have her out by the night. Stay in the forest outside the palace wall. It'll take me awhile to get her to you. Need to get rid of the guards." William said watching the way Noble looked at his sister. It intrigued him that it seemed the gypsy took a liking to her. His sister did seem a lot happier then what she used to be. Either way the gypsy would be better then the Duke.
Amelia walked over to Noble with his sisters clothing. "Here." She held the garments out to him. Not like she could keep them. "Are we ready to go?" She said looking at the males with a distant look in her eyes. Not really looking at Noble, at all. She couldn't let herself have the pleasure. Had already got her mind set into the fact she would never see him again. |
Noble stared at the clothes in his hand, confused for a moment. He shoved them into the burlap bag as well and nodded. "I'm going back to our camp. jSo we should be ready to go by the time my sister is freed. Don't let her get hurt." He glared at Amelia, who was clearly ready to get home, she wasn't even looking at him! He hefted the heavy bag over his shoulder then, and turned away, starting out the door. |
William couldn't help but chuckle at the two, with a small smile he abide the gypsy boy goodbye. "Have a safe trip and Ame won't let a hair on your sisters head get harmed."
As Noble left Amelia looked to her brother who only gave her a nod. So Amelia quickly grabbed his arm. "Noble, wait. Please take Eisa, I can't bring him back with me. I know you will take care of him, I can only trust him with you..." Amelia's voice came out shaky as her hand tightened around his arm, she didn't want to let go. But she still couldn't look into the emerald eyes that would capture her. |
Noble glanced at the princess's hands clinging to his arm in alarm, before he managed to harden his face once more and he glared at her. "Of course you can take the silly horse to the castle. Do you know how much it costs to feed a beast like that? No." He jerked his arm away from her and began stalking away once more. He wouldn't take anything to remind him of this place, or that beautiful little dove. |
The tears that rolled down Amelia's cheeks were uncontainable, she was now going to lose the gypsies and her horse. Eisa couldn't be taken come with her, the Duke didn't have anywhere for the horse, neither did her brother, and it would get killed if she brought it home. Now her only joy in life was being stripped from her.
William sighed, and wrapped his arms around his sister. "Gypsy, she can't take the horse. Not if she is getting married to the Duke, if she brings it back to the castle it'll be killed after she leaves. At least ride it back to your camp then let it go." |
Noble looked taken aback, though from Amelia's tears and not her brother's words. "S-stop! Fine, I'll take the damn horse...Just...don't do that!" |
"Why? I have to go home and lose everything. My happiness, freedom, and myself..." Amelia turned towards Noble glaring at him this time. He never understood, it was always money to him. With a sigh Amelia walked out of the room only to end up sitting upon the bench that was on the porch.
William looked a Noble and shook his head before leaving to clean up and make himself presentable. |
Noble watched her, puzzled. Soon, he'd be gone and she wouldn't have to worry about him. He sighed and trudged outside, glancing at her. "Make the thing get her then. I'll take the stupid beast." |
Amelia sat there with an uncomfortable look on her face, she just didn't belong in the clothes that adored her body or the jewels. Most would be overjoyed to take her place while she was just miserable. The tears had stopped but the lifeless look she wore throughout the castle was back. With a simple whistle she got Eisa to come back, avoiding looking at Noble or the horse as she waited for her brother.
|
Noble stared at the princess for a moment before dropping the bag and leaning over her, kissing her quickly, though deeply. "Goodbye, Amelia." He turned, grabbing the bag and locating a bit of rope in the yard, tying it around Eisa and leading the horse away. He wouldn't see her again. It was for the better. |
Amelia heard the bag drop only to turn her head and feel Noble's soft alluring lips against hers. A farewell she would never forget. She held herself back from chasing after him, they needed to get his sister. It would be her farewell to him.
~~~ And that is what they did. There plan was going smoothly with the King thinking she was staying with her brother. And both Amelia and William fought for the gypsies to be successful. They got them three days to get out of the country and even more gold. Seeing as they persuaded the King it would go faster if they had the money to get away with. It also helped that Amelia was torn over not seeing Noble. Which she replaced with the disappearance of Eisa, making her fathers guilt increase. Then luckily the Duke had to leave for a few days so the wedding was postponed till his return. So William devised his own plan by sending Amelia back to his home. Now he needed to get the gypsy where she belonged and safe while his sister got lectured by her father over the trouble she caused. William walked down the corridor to the room Lillith was kept in. Dismissing the guard he opened the girls cell. "Are you the gypsy?" |
(I was actually going to have her not be there at all...XD) Lillith hopped up from the bed she'd been laying in, glaring at the newcomer. "What now?" ~<3~ Noble, meanwhile, was outside of the palace. Their wheels were fixed. They would be leaving come morning. |
[{Sorry, well you can have her terrorizes a guard outside. That followed them and caught up.}]
William chuckled, the girls glare was just like her brothers. "I'm taking you out of here. You are free to go, your brother and family is waiting, dear." He held his arm out to the girl. |
(That's alright. It's good.) The female stood, skirting around William without touching him. "How do I get out of here, then?" The suspicion was evident in her voice. She clearly did not believe this strange man. |
The prince followed the gypsy girl with an amused smile on his face. "First I must lay down some rules. If you see Amelia you can not show that you know her. Once we are outside the palace walls guards will follow us so you have to keep up. Oh, and I'm William, the crown prince." William gave the girl a small bow as a sign of respect. Wanted the girls trust before he left with her. Couldn't have her running off now.
