Aiden’s POV
She entered the throne hall and found me standing before her father while him was sitting on his throne and she walked slowly past me a few metres and humbly bowed her head “Father you requested for my presence?” she said
“Yes, please would you show around Prince Aiden around the Palace.” He said so cautiously
“Yes Father!” she said almost like a whisper
“Please this way” she directed me,
We Walked out of the throne hall and we found Ella Chatting with One of our knights.
“Ella, please bring us some tea to the after a while” She ordered whom I assumed was her waiting,
“Yes, My lady.” Ella answered
And when she turned around and lift her head as she was about to go, I found it was the lady I met in the woods 7 years ago and fell in love, I could not believe what my eyes saw, Ella Jeppesen.
I remember the night when I was supposed to tell her the true about my identity.
7 years ago
My father (the king) was so keen on uniting the Ireland and Denmark through marriage to the princess of another kingdom and ours as they couldn’t come to a conclusion through a peace treaty.
One of the days during the visit I decided to go hunting when I was aiming for an animal, I head a scream coming from down the hill in the woods. I draw nearer to get where the sound was coming from
“Sir, please let me go” she said with her soft and gentle voice.
“Or What Huh?” the drunk man said,
“Please don’t hurt me, am just running an errand I didn’t know these woods I wasn’t supposed to pass here” she earnestly pleaded with the men while others were just laughing whenever she said something.
“We are going to enjoy ourselves today, thank heavens for this beautiful lady” the drunk man made a remark while removing the dress from one side and licked her behind her ear.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the lady who just stood tears pouring from her eyes.
I moved carefully as I calculated how many men they were from where I was hiding, I counted 5 men one was tending to their horses were 3 were sitting around a small fire the had put on, “well I can handle them”, I told myself.
Carefully I drew out my sword, I firstly attacked the man who was alone tending to the horses, when I knew for sure he was unconscious I moved on to the men around the fire. I fought with them and within minutes they were all on the ground, when the man who was harassing the young lady knew what was going on, he quickly turned around and put a knife on the Lady’s throat.
“Don’t come any closer or else I will kill her” He said, I slowly just moved forward as he took steps back.
I looked at the young lady and nodded my head luckily, she understood me, she quickly stepped on the man’s right foot, he let go of her and she ran away from him coming towards me. I fought with the man and he was on the ground within seconds.
I called out my horse and it came running, quickly got on the house and extended my hand to help her get on the horse. We rode out towards the village, when we were almost nearing the village, I stopped the horse got down and she did as well.
I can’t go any further than this am sure this is now safe for you to get home I told her
“thank you so much sir, if it were not for you, I don’t know what could have happened and how can I ever repay your kindness” she answered,
Well you can simply tell me your name and meet with me tomorrow here at noon that will be fine with me I said with a smile on my face.
"Very well, I will meet you here noon tomorrow" She said and started walking away, she turned around "Ella Jeppesen, That's my name" Before she could give me a chance to respond she was already gone
