Learning to ride a horse.

Lilli was sitting atop a beautiful white mare. She wore a deep purple dress with long sleeves. Her hair was pulled up so that it would stay out of her face. A stable hand was trying to teach her to ride. She at least made it on the horse without incident. She smiled with the feat.

He was explaining to her the of the reins and what to do to get certain reactions. She nodded as she listened to his lesson. It seemed easy enough.

"Alright your highness, just lighten the slack on the reins and lean forward a bit. It should start walking."

She nodded and did as he instructed. The movement was sudden. She had to fight to keep her balance at first. She looked back at the boy with a big smile. "I did it, I am riding." She exclaimed excidedly.

A sudden loud noise erupted from inside the stables. The horse got spooked and reared up. Lilli fell suddenly from the horse and hit the ground. The horse went galloping off across the field.

After Getting his wound cleaned and taped up he decided to go find the the Princess. He goes to the Garden but sees that she is not there so he asks a servent who tells him that she is in the stable and get had just left there. He walks to stable and and runs out to her after seeing that she had hit the floor and he holds her up "My lady are you ok" He says it with worry in his eyes and voice

Lilli put her hand to her forehead and looked at him. "Yes, I believe so. The horse, it ran off." She said looking in the direction that the horse had went.

He looks at the horse and back at her "You are more important at the moment its only a horse"

She looked at him. I don't know what happened. Why did it do that?

"Something must have really scared it" He looks back at the stable

Go get the horse. She told the stablehand as she tried to get up.

He helps her get up "Let me help you My Lady"

She allows him to assist her before she dusts her dress off. I was doing so well.

"I bet you were but you must be careful horses are very unstable"

She smiled. They are gentle beasts.

"Some of them yes but not all some are wild and truely not safe"

"Horses scare very easy My Lady let us go see the problem in the stable"

She went to take a step but staggered. Her left leg hurt. It wasn't too bad just rather bothersome.

"Here my lady Lean on me and you will be able to walk better" He offered

She put her hand on his shoulder for support. It did help a bit. It isn't too bad. Just sore.

"I would pick you up My lady but i may get in trouble for touching you improporly"

She nodded. I am sure they the king would understand. I am injured.

He thought to himself for a minute and picked her up

"You are very welcome My Lady" he smiles at her

"You didnt have to tell me that My lady i would lie for you"

"Nither do i My lady but i rather not question him or ill be thrown in the dungeon"

He looked at her "Then shall we say something My lady"

"He will surely send me and a group of knights to chase after you and bring you back and i dont wanna do that"

"If i go back with out you I will be exiled and hated by all My pride will be broken"

"I will be stripped of my rank as knight Commander"

"Then let us talk with him tonight"

"We must plan this well"

"Yes very cunning"

"My thoughts are scattered about all this"

"Its between pride and loyalty"

"Love?"

He becomes speechless and embarrassed

"You love me?"
