YOUR HIGHNESS

Anne

" You should have enough confidence to hold your head up high. Enough humility not to look down on others."

We began to eat brunch silently. After we were finished, we were served tea while everyone began to converse with one another. I on the other hand sipped my tea in lonesome not that I complain about it. I love being alone but do wish sometimes that my friends would also attend these events. They live so far that we hardly meet now that we have done our studies. I sigh and take a sip of my tea. Suddenly, I feel a light tap on my shoulder, startling me and making me spill few drops of tea on my gown. I look down at my gown and scowl at the growing spots.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you", a girl says, worry lacing her voice. "Did you burn your skin?"

I look up at her and see her face full of worry. "No, it's okay. I'm fine. No need to be sorry", I assure her and she take a breath of relief.

"Thank goodness. By the way, I am Anne, Princess of Goldstone", she says extending her hand towards me.

"Nice to meet you, Anne. Are you King Robert's daughter?" I ask taking her hand and shaking it.

"Yes, I am, Princess ..?"

"Rose. My name is Rose."

"Nice to meet you too, Rose. I was just standing alone and saw you alone too so I thought of approaching you. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Oh no, you are not. I am actually glad that you approached me or else I don't know what would I be doing except getting bored," I say and we laugh at my remark.

"You're really different, in a good way though. Other girls just talk about teas and dresses", she says motioning her hand towards her tea cup and dress.

"Well Anne, I cannot agree more to that. I don't know how they manage to talk about the same topics without getting bored?"

"That's a huge mystery yet to be solved." We talk and laugh until someone interrupts us. What is with people interrupting me today?

I look at the person and see a handsome young man with eyes as blue as a clear ocean facing Anne.
