We reached the half way of our journey. There were now only dark forest next to the road we were travelling. Every now or then I tried to listen if I could hear my soldiers. They should have been following us nearby all the time. If everything was okey...

"Your Highness, we are going to stop here for tonight.  I am going to start a campfire. Your Highness can rest while I keep watch."
Prince Rafael nodded and came down from the horse. But instead of just sitting on the ground he walked around.
"What are you doing, Your Highness?" I asked,confused.
"What does it look like? Im collecting some fire wood."
I still looked confused.
"Helping you, am I?"
"But Your Highness---"
"Shut up, Captain! Why can't you address me like a normal people?"
"But Your Highness.....You are....not normal people!" I said and knelt before him. I was so greatfull for the pale light of the Moon. My red face didn't show to him in that light.

" Why do you say that? Do I not look like normal man to you?"
He walked right in front of me. In the moonlight I couldn't see any details but as I looked deep into his ice blue eyes, which were looking at me like they could very well read my every thought and desire...I knew I would not be able to lie to him.
"Your Highness looks....good." I whispered and fellt how my face was, if it were even possible, turning more and more red.
He smiled to me as if he knew my uneasyness. "Im telling you, Captain Lucas, I want you to treat me as equals. I don't want to be god-like figure to you. To anyone!"
"Yes,Your Highness."

He laught. The sound of it was like music to my ears. Hearing his laugh made me feel warm inside. ' What am I thinking?!' I panic the moment I had finish my thought. ' I can't think that kind of things of my Prince! Nevertheless, of any man!! Right?'

My confused thoughts were interupted when I heard a noice. That sound was so familiar to me. The sound of sword coming out. We had company.

"Your Highness!!" I yelled and took out my own sword. "Your Highness, did You hear that?"
"Yes." he said and suddenly his appearance had change very serious.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. i will protect You with my life. But I must ask if Your Highness would like to fight too."
Prince Rafael had allready took out his own sword.
"Don't be silly, Captain. We are not the ones who are going to die tonight."
