The scene of the palace was simply too majestic to describe in words. Pin-pointed in the heart of the bamboo forest, the palace stood tall and mighty, facing different harsh weather conditions at different times of a year. Although it may seem a little old, but it never failed to stand once and its beautiful pure white walls still remained.
The white horse approached the palace's grand main doors soon enough. Without the help of the young man, the princess dismounted the horse with ease. She ignored all those court ladies who came rushing towards her. The young man stood behind, giving her darkening shadow a blank look. He forgot that others were trying to help him put his horse to comfort, as his mind was filled with other things. "Mister...Mister?" A sudden sound disturbed his thoughts and he frowned towards the voice.
"Oh, its you, Sui. Please lead my horse back to its stable. Remember to give it some fresh grass and take it out for walks while I'm with the princess. It may take some time." The young man gave orders to the stable maid*(one looking after the stables) and was gone in a jiffy. Sui tried to catch a glance of him but he was not within her sight anymore. "He always amazes me with his charm and speed..." She sighed, leading the horse into its warm stable.
The young man pursued the princess and caught up with her soon enough. "Why such hastiness and coldness, your highness?" The young man followed her footsteps, asking her in a cold voice. The princess quickened her steps and muttered,"I'll tell you if you had the right to know." The young man's eyes flahed with anger at her harsh words. He jerked his brakes and bit his lips as he stood watching the princess move away. (-To be continued)
