Rose Garden

Ines of Slovenia had traveled to the Netherlands to experience what it would be like away from Slovenia, her home she had rarely left. Looking around the gardens it was so beautiful there and she smiled happily "oh how beautiful the roses are" she told herself and touches the flowers gently upon their peddles and she took a seat in the garden upon a bench.

Francis had needed to get away for a while he chose a destination where nobody would be able to find him and it felt perfect. He decided to take a stroll through the gardens to get a sense of the place that he was currently residing in the roses stood out between the dark grey clouds. As Francis turned the corner, he came into contact with a brunette woman who was enjoying the roses as much as him.

My lady forgive my intrusion I was under the impression I was on my own.

Ines became startled, the place she was at looked so very abandoned and it made her happy though the see others there and she stood quickly and curtsies to the young man as her hair drags at her waist in loose curls and she blushed deeply "forgive me sir, I had not known others were even here" she spoke and smiled "but it does make me happy to see others here" she told him kindly and smiled softly at him.

"surely it must not be a trouble at all" she told him and giggles a bit

Francis took a step back hands raised to let the lady know that he meant no harm his eyes attracted to her curls and the way they flattered her figure he offered the young lady a bow and a proper introduction of himself.

My lady, I am Francis Bryan, born in Ireland resides in England or where the good king sends me.

Ines of Slovenia stood there in front of him watching him bow before her and she smiled at him "it is wonderful to meet you my lord Francis Bryan, your king is most kind to send you here." She spoke and blushed a bit "I am Ines, I am from Slovenia" she spoke nervous to confess her full identity to him but she gained the courage to do so "forgive me, in truth I am actually the Princess Ines of Slovenia, my father was the King in those lands of that of Bojnice Castle and Predjama Castle" she confessed truthfully "I've indeed traveled far, but it is good to go to other places as I not often leave Slovenia much. As the daughter of King Ivan of Slovenia I am often guarded" she confessed wishing she had more freedom to do as she wished.

Actually, this time I am here to escape for the time being.

He smiled weakly shifting the weight on his feet as he held his hands behind his back impressed to know that he was enjoying the company of a princess which meant Francis would have to behave himself in Ines presence not wanting to cause any unwanted attention to her name.

How honorable and humbling for a man such as myself to enjoy your company. My goodness, what would your guards say if they could see you alone speaking with a man.

Francis gestured his mood turning more playful as he softly winked

Ines laughs happily hearing his words and nodded "they would not be pleased as my father would most definitely punish them if anything was to happen to me" she spoke teasingly "they say he is a force to reckon with" she spoke teasingly "sometime I see his nose hairs more then his face" she giggles speaking of her father in such a way

"oh whatever would he do indeed, to find me with such a handsome man such as yourself" she spoke and chuckles a bit. "Although it must be most pleasing for you to be in my presence and you are welcome to remain" she spoke telling him happily

This princess was turning out to be some character. He thought to himself as he listened to her talk. In any other circumstances, Francis would treat all people as his equal and treat them exactly the same. In order for him to enjoy or even appreciate the company he was in you would need to make a lasting impression on him.

Your father need not worry I shall treat you like any other woman

Ines looked at the man in front of him and smiled "would that be a good thing my lord" she questioned and smiled at him "to be treated as all the other girls" she spoke as she knew not how he treated them. She was a loving and kind person with quite the personality indeed.

I treat everyone as equals I find that it helps me get to know the person rather than the title.

Many thought that to be a royal was a grand thing, perhaps it was Francis would never know that. But all he saw in front of him was a young girl trying to find herself in a world full of big personalities that had already left their mark and impact on people.

I imagine that being a princess can be tough I would not know. All you need to remember is that you are your own person don't follow a crowd because you have the same title. Be yourself stay true to the things you value the most and people will like you for that.

Ines the young princess had listened intently to the man in front of her and she taken a seat beside him and she nodded "Forgive me, others I find do treat me quite differently then the rest and I am required to behave accordingly to that of my rank." She spoke telling him "It has been as such since I was a small girl, being the King's only daughter he expects much from me often but I do try to be the free spirit I always have been and I do enjoy a good adventure" she spoke truthfully to him, "Perhaps the palace life was never for me" she spoke once more as she sat there being herself more then ever, he was right being a princess was very hard for her, all the educate and things she must learn to be one was rested upon her shoulders and she wished her father would have another girl so she wouldn't have to be burden with such nonsense and she simply smiled a bit

"My father, he hopes one day I may wed to a man, I am quite unsure if I am ready" she spoke telling him how she felt as truthfully as she could. Pushing all that aside she looked back at him after touching the flowers and she stood there "Would you like, to perhaps come to Slovenia" she spoke pausing for a moment, "To visit perhaps" she asked.
