Town festival (1)

The next few days were eventless. My daily routine was the same. In the morning I have my studies, in the afternoon it was physical training.

I have just finished my breakfast when Leon entered the dining hall.

"Good morning princess Alicia." Leon bowed slightly.

"Good morning sir Leon." I answered. "I will in the classroom shortly."

"That won't be necessary." Leon smiled.

"Won't be necessary?" I looked at him confused. "And why is that?" I asked.

"Because we will be going out of town." Leon's smile widened.

"Going out of town?" I asked in disbelief. "But I can't go out without permission."

Thinking of going out to town excites me. But I do not want to get my hopes up because stepmother won't approve of it.

"Why are you frowning?" Leon asked. He slowly approached me and cupped up my chin. "Smile. You are the most beautiful when you smile."

"Beautiful?" I felt my face become hot. I might be blushing again.

Leon smiled at me with amusement.
