Stables

"Charles reached the stables. He was ordered by the King to show to Princess of Scotland Royal Stables and best horses. As he entered, he found her already there. He bowed respectfully while smiling"

Your Highness...hope you're not waiting since too long...

"He said with gentle voice, raising his eyes to her"

I smile softly at him and let out a soft laugh

Certainly not, your Grace! I am most thankful you agree to do this for me. Will the King join us this day?

I blush slightly as his gaze turns to me. I admire his handsome face and great physique.

"Charles smiled kindly. He noticed she was very beautiful. But he tried to be more formal than he could"

The King will reach you in the forest this afternoon, my lady. Unluckily, I can't join you both. But I'm here to show you the stables. And...to help you to choose a good horse..."

"He answered, showing her a charming smile"

I smile at him as I gently pat the horse's neck. He is quite charming and unexpectedly, I find myself disappointed he will not join us

I believe I already found a good horse. Or perhaps is there a better one? And what a pity you cannot join us, Your Grace!

"Charles smiled and shrugged a bit after her words"

Well...I'd like to join, my lady. But I have to prepare some things for Trial's next audience. You know...King's matters never rest...

"He giggled gently and came closer to the horse she was caressing"

Well...this is a good horse, Your Highness. But...if you allow me a suggestion, I think you should choose that one. It's my horse...Oscar...

"He said proudly, pointing at a brown horse not too far from them"

I look at him, pleasantly surprised at his suggestion then giggle.

well.....would you then assist me onto your horse, Your Grace? I promise you I am an excellent rider and shall care for him greatly!

"Charles smiled widely and nodded, coming closer to her"

Oh...I'm sure of it. My Oscar will be in your hands for a whole afternoon. I guess it will be very well treated. I...I almost envy it...

"He added with a teasing smile, glancing secretely at her beautiful face"

I blush at his words and remain silent for a moment. I smile back, my cheeks rosy as i push away another stray hair from my face, He is fascinating.

I thank you, Your Grace! You are very kind with your words! Perhaps another day, we can ride together!

I then turn around, caressing Oscar's neck and cooing at him

"He tried to remain serious, nut he couldn't avoid to smile"

Oh...why not, my lady? It will be an honour. I guess you're a very good rider. And I can't wait to discover it by myself...

"He answered, showing her a charming glance"

I smile more, showing my snow white teeth as I do. My dimples are showing as well as I try hard to contain m y excitement. he is most handsome.

Very, well, my lord! Then you shall find out my riding skills very soon, I hope!

"He smiled openly this time, and looked around stables"

I hope so, my lady. Is there...something else I can do for you?

"He asked kindly, turning to her again"

I smile back at him, my eyes locking with his

Perhaps you may help me mount the horse?

"He nodded with a smile and reached his horse"

Oh...of course. Just put your arm around my shoulders, my lady. I'll help you to mount it...

"He suggested, lowering his eyes on her body"

I smile as I follow his instructions and with one swift move, I find myself mounted on Oscar. I bow my head to him in thanks to his kindness, and notice hie eyes measuring me up. I blush slightly and giggle nervously.

I thank you, your Grace! Now....where am I to meet his Majesty?

"Charles looked up at her on his horse. He admired her beauty for a while. Then sighed and turned his head towards entrance"

What? Oh...the King, yes. He is just arriving, my lady...

"He saw the King coming towards stable on his own horse. Then bowed"

Majesty...

Looking at the Duke of Suffolk, I smile as I thank him. I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear as I adjust my hat, when I turn to see His Majesty arriving. My rosy lips form a wide smile as I slightly bow my head to greet him. The horse whinnies as i gently spur him, after bidding Charles a good eve. I head towards King Henry, my eyes locking with his. i stop the horse next to his as I caress Oscar's neck.

Patience is a virtue, Your Majesty. II was not kept waiting. What a lovely horse you have. Now....where shall we ride? I must warn you I am a skilled rider !

I laugh softly as i lower my eyes, blushing at his gaze.

Lead me to where you will, Your Grace. I am honored to be in your company!

"Charles looked at them both and nodded sligtly afet King's words. Then, noticing that the Princess was already comfortable in his company, he bowed deeply"

Your Highness...Your Majesty...

"Then glanced at them again and left the Stables"

I smile as I follow him towards the forest.

I would love to see the forest, Your Majesty.

I spur the horse to follow the King into the forest.

You are very kind to take the time to go riding with me.

As we continue on our ride, the warm air soothing and calm, I proceed to answer hi s question about the Duke of Suffolk. I smile to think of him but I have been warned of his womanizing ways.

Oh The Duke of Suffolk has been most kind and helpful to me, Majesty! He was considerate enough to loan me his horse Oscar for our excursion. He has been most respectful!

i smile faintly, remembering his flirtacious glance upon me but telling myself it was only a glance and nothing more.

Henry smiled, amused to hear such words about Charles. He turned his head to her

I'm very glad to hear that, cousin. Charles can look...just a womanizer, but he is a good man. He is like a brother to me. Now follow me, my lady...Can't wait to show you the forest...

He winked at her and kept on riding his horse towards forest
