Soon he came upon a clear spring fed pool of water. The pool was fresh and inviting on this nice warm day. Prince Morgan decided to strip down and go for a swim. He jumped in the water and found it was cool but refreshing. He swam for a while then got out and redressed himself. It was a nice relaxing swim and he enjoyed the clean fresh feeling he now had. Now refreshed he began walking back up the small game trail toward the main path.
Princess Wildheart and Pricilla were also coming in the opposite direction on the same small game trail. The two of them had left the castle and were intent on relaxation and reflection near the spring pool. They would often go there to clear their thoughts and enjoy private conversations. The three of them met on the narrow path and stopped. Princess Wildheart had never seen this handsome man before.
“Hello! Who are you? I don’t recall seeing you around here before,” said the Princess.
“Hello, I am Prince Morgan,” he said.
The two girls looked at each other and smiled. This must be one of my Prince callers, thought Princess Wildheart.
“I am Princess Wildheart and this is my friend Pricilla,” said Princess Wildheart. “What brings you here Prince Morgan?”
“I was just out for a walk and discovered a beautiful spring fed pond over there,” he said, pointing at the pond.
“Oh, I know it well, I often come here myself,” said Princess Wildheart.
Princess Wildheart thought Prince Morgan was very handsome. Many women in his own Kingdom would like to be married to him of course but he was too busy to trouble with marriage at this time. Prince Morgan was confident but stunned by the beauty of the young Princess Wildheart, he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. She was so beautiful! Her voice captivated him, her smile, her eyes and every little thing about her just engaged him in a way he hadn’t experienced before. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
“You’re the one to be courted for marriage,” said Prince Morgan. “You’re just as beautiful as I had heard Princess. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Who is your friend?”
“Thank you. This is Pricilla, she lives in the castle with the Royal family, ” said Princess Wildheart.
“Pleased to meet you also Pricilla,” said Prince Morgan.
“I am glad you have come to call on me Prince Morgan. You are very handsome and I look forward to spending some time with you,” said Princess Wildheart.
“Oh, my apologies Princess, I am a Prince, however I was not one of the suitors your father invited to meet you. I was just passing through in my travels with my friend Duke when I discovered the news about your coming of age and the surrounding festivities,”
Princess Wildheart smiled. “I am a Princess Sir and I can spend time with whoever I please to. I noticed your bracelet Prince, it’s very lovely. May I see it?”
She smiled and reached out to the Prince.
“Oh, sure you can,” said Prince Morgan, removing the bracelet and handing it over to her for inspection.
She examined the bracelet closely and thought it was a very fine piece of jewelry.
“So nice, I think I may want it for myself!”
Princess Wildheart giggled and looked at Pricilla. Pricilla had been just standing there smiling. She knew by the way Princess Wildheart was acting that she liked Prince Morgan very much.
“Well, I might consider giving you the bracelet, for now though, give it back to me,” said Prince Morgan smiling.
“No, I think I want it for myself! You wouldn’t deny a Princess would you?”
Prince Morgan laughed. “Give it back Princess,” he said, with his hand out.
“Come get it if you want it back so bad,” said Princess Wildheart, teasing the Prince.
She ran off laughing with his bracelet and went behind a large tree. Prince Morgan
