New Priorities
It was weird waking up in the arms of half of my ship.
But it did make me feel a bit safe on top of everything that happened yesterday.
Now that my brain is working a bit better, it would be great to make an overview. Prince Horus is officially the crown prince. This means that I have already disrupted the original timeline so much, that Prince Horus did not end up in prison. Although, I'm still not quite sure how that would have happened in the first place. Would Prince Chaker, because I'm sure he was the reason behind it, lay down some playboy magazines as a trap?
Oh right, the don't HAVE magazines here. In any case, Prince Horus is the crown prince, I'm officially his fiancé, and Prince Chaker tried to kill us all off. Aaaaaaand, it probably won't be the last time…
But this means, that war should already be in the works. Which means, the second thing on my to-do list, that I haven't been giving much thought, saving Mercia AND the original ship in the story.
Which leads me to my plans about visiting Visersadie. First I have to figure out if we speak the same language. Then I have to find Alishia, the female lead in the novel, who should have already met the male lead, the Crown prince of Visersadie.
Then I have to become besties with her, and have girl talk and braid each others ha- oh, wait, I'm getting a bit sidetracked.
I also have to find some more BL books as I am almost done reading the ones I bought before. As well as finding out about the lack some words, that should have been 'normal'.
"Lady Amy, did you have a pleasant night?" A groggy voice asks from behind me. Prince Horus seems to be awake. I didn't dare move in case he was finally sleeping. He always looks so tired, but since we had to 'sleep together' the servants wouldn't dare to come in before we call for them.
"Ah yes, I slept in the warm and protective arms of my fiancé, the great Prince Horus, Crown Prince of the beautiful empire of Mercia!" My voice is the classic mix of teasing and dramatic, as I know he hates. Fun fun fun.
"I see you are in better spirits today, Lady Amy" He sighs.
We chatter a bit, meet up with Sir Windsor who had apparently stood guard the entire night. He congratulates the both of us as he couldn't do that yesterday, as well as being worried and fussing over me being sick. The poisoning seems to be kept a secret from even him. I just tell him I'm fine.
Sir Windsor bows down in front of Prince Horus and takes his hand.
"My life is yours to use, My Crown Prince, may your Sun shine over the empire in the future" He kisses the hand. Omg omg omg, IS MY SHIP FINALLY SAILING? Oh, if only. Sadly he is just declaring eternal loyalty. Hmm, actually that's not much different from marriage. And there was a kiss included too… I'll take it. It also seems to me that there was more to it than just a royal guard declaring allegiance to a crown prince… But exactly what, I don't know.
After exchanging pleasantries, Prince Horus and I eat breakfast as a couple, walk around the palace as a couple, AND YAY, going to town as a couple! Maybe I should take a trip to the little shop where I bought the books. After she didn't believe I was Lady Amy, even though I wasn't meant to be figured out, something in me got quite annoyed at this, so me and Sir Windsor went back to the shop, ninja style, and I told her, yes I did! But THAT'S a story for another chapter.
It was nice to see the towns people as myself. Not needing to hide. Though, I would undoubtedly leave much to be desired, as the 'Amy' from the rumors Prince Horus had spread was more of an angel than a person.
I was called the flowerbud over and over again, and every time had to smile, shake hands, and excuse their leave. At least I was allowed to talk. But all of this is so tiring… At least nothing big happened.
After a few days, the preparations for Visersadie started. As we would stay for quite some time, it was important to properly prepare. Sir Windsor would go with us as well. Ah yes, the pond of opportunity for romance was not yet dry!
I just had three things to remember. Language, Alishia, BL. Everything else was done by the countless of maids that seemed to be a never-ending supply in this place.
The only thing I was worried about was Prince Chaker. I hadn't seen him for quite some time now, and with Prince Horus leaving, there would be quite a lot of opportunities to kill off the Emperor, which the evil son of a… No, I shouldn't blame her, which the tyrant didn't seem to have any qualms about.
Ah yes, the endless worries of a royal. Which I was. But at least, my mission of getting the prince a beard and helping him survive was a success.
And so, we boarded the carriage with Sir Windsor driving, and Prince Horus and I sitting alone inside. It wasn't the first time we had been alone together, but this time, it would take a few days before reaching the border.
What should we talk about? Love life? Politics? The weather? Actually, all of those goes under politics here…
"Lady Amy, as we are now alone, and has a lot of free time. I think it is time you told me a bit more about yourself" Prince Horus started speaking first.
"For instance, I am wondering, how did you know the chalices were poisoned?" He asked.
Well. That was actually a good question. How DID I know?
"Instinct… I think. I just got a bad feeling when I saw them, and felt the need to put the antidote pills in. Better safe than sorry, as they say, after all" I hesitate a bit.
"Instinct… You say… Also, who are 'they' and what is that kind of saying?" Prince Horus asks. Ah, not this again. Aren't the nitpicky word things getting more and more frequent? I guess it comes from me being more and more 'myself', as in, when I lived in my old world 'me', when I speak with him alone, but I'm totally making it harder for myself!
But this is as good of a chance as any… Let's talk about some stuff then, Prince Horus.
In about five chapters or so, as we take a break with some special chapters first!
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
FictiveRealism
FictiveRealism My initial comment when the chapter released on Tapas: AAAAAH!!! How far we've come! Thank you all SO MUCH for reading until now. This is the official 'end' of first season (At least that's what I call it in my own head) and the "Becoming the Prince's beard" journey, following mostly Amy. There will come a few special chapters the next few weeks, and then the Visersadie arc will begin!
Hope you all look forward to it :D
Please leave a comment, as I would love to hear your thoughts!
Until next chapter!
