Confessions of a Princess...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 17538

"Reyna," she said sadly, "Do you know what it's like to live with a secret that could cost you your life?"

Andrea

"I'm tired," she continues on, not waiting (or expecting) an answer from me, "Tired of this clandestine business that my father has with the Dragon. Tired of the lies he tells the people. Tired of the lies he told me...."

"See, it all started at a young age for me," she sighs, looking at something out there only she can see, "I remember catching my father and his men carrying out what I now know should be the rightful King. Father said that he'd found out that Cederick was the one who'd....grabbed me and....touched me......"

Her eyes close and I feel her shudder as she hugs me close.

It's just as well that she isn't watching me. The look of utter shock on my vulpine face just would totally blow my cover as a mere dumb animal.

I had no idea that something like this.......

I feel.....like I shouldn't be listening in on this...

"I remember believing him at the time....believing that my father was doing good and all that," she whispers bitterly, "But years later I learned that my father had one of his soldiers quietly killed for....that.... and that meant that when I silently cheered that the Dragon was to tear to pieces Cederick I was wrong. That my father had lied to me....as he kept doing year after year....

"The man doesn't love me...but just uses me as yet another tool," she finishes up. "I can not run....for I fear for my mother. I can not reveal the truth....for I shall be run up on a rope along with him....."

"I only can tell you, little one." she finishes up, kissing me on my nose, "I know that I can at least trust you."

Sir Guy then chooses this moment to bellow for Princess Exotica to attend him.

Somehow I think that this fellow enjoys his positional authority, I think as Exotica mutters something vile, Getting to lord around those of higher station than he is.....especially a woman!

Exotica turns, remembering that she hasn't put that blasted leash on me...only to blink in surprise as she sees me wiggling underneath the tent flap and scamper off towards the woods.

Now, while I do plan on passing on the information I've learned of in this camp, I shall try my best to keep the trust Exotica has in me...by at least arguing for mercy upon her here soon....

  1. It's the best I can think of doing, under the circumstances.....
