Roxanna was quite unsure weather she was dead or not. First she felt numb all over. Then came the horrible pain, it was everywhere, but more so in her head like someone had just hit her head millions of times without stopping. Roxanna heard her name, but the heat of the sun was making her drozy. Roxanna let out a sigh in pain, she opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Edrin's face, it gave her quite a fright at first, she remember being in the forest but now they were in the hot sun. Had it all been a bad dream? By the way Edrin ~scratches all over~ no this hadn't been a dream. Then a she realized the second thing... Edrin was carrying her. Roxanna jumped off him and got all defencive. "How dare thy care thy! I demand respect and dignity...." the letter "y" faded when she realized she was not in her home land, but still, it's not like he's the King of France! Plus if he hadn't figured out who she was the better last thing she needed was for him to start interagating her. Roxanna decided to apoligize, "I am very sorry Monsieur Edrin. I'm just very nervous after what just happened to me," Edrin was quite handsome, about her age, but she was sure he was married, so she had to give him the respect. "Where are we? I don't remember being here," Roxanna was trapped, she couldn't go home, she can't stay here, she can't go to Spain either. Roxanna felt quite shy, which was rare, she was really out spoken but she stayed silent, hoping something good will come from all this.

Edrin was about to shake Roxanna again when she finally came to. She stared at him for a moment as if she was totally disorientated, and all things considered she probably was. The next moment she quickly jump off him and started yelling about how she needed repect. He knew she was the Princess of England but... I'm the Prince of France, and I just saved her!!He was about to say just that when she started apologizing.
When she was finished (the last part sounding rather shyly spoken) Edrin said.
"I'm not sure where we are, all I was worried about was getting away from those men." Edrin frowned at her slightly. "I just saved you, you should at least be thankful for that!" He was begining to wonder why he'd saved her though. She was after all his enemy, part of the reason he had to sit through boring meetings about war.
Short for words he simply said. "Those men aren't going to stop looking for you I don't think, the longer we stay here the sooner they're going to find us."

Roxanna stared at him, "What men?" Roxanna thought to herself. "Believe me I am greatful you saved my life, but I'm in no danger, why would anyone want me?" Roxanna said cooly. "Okay I know I'm in danger if anyone knows who I am, but I got to keep my cool and act like I'm the Princess of England," Roxanna thought to herself. Why? Why had she been stupid enough to leave her home? "Because... my father wants me to hate a country who's done nothing to me and was going to marry me off to the Duke of Spain who's like a hundred years older than me and is only intrested in the land he'll have control over," Roxanna recited once more. What could she do? She had limited options. Roxanna turned and walked away from Edrin, thinking of what she could do. She didn't want to go home and send men to a war that was pointless in her point of view, and marry that man that was old enough to be her great-grandfather? All Roxanna knew she wasn't safe here. Roxanna decided, it was a final, she was going to go back home, please her father, marry the man, etc. ect. ect. Roxanna turned back to Edrin, "Okay, I'm going to tell you exsactly who I am so you can either send me to your king or help me out of here. I'm Princess Roxanna Elting of England, my father hates this country but I see no reason to lead a war that is pointless, and if you may have heard, I'm marrying the Duke of Spain in three days, and no I don't want to get married but my father wants to resign his crown and give it to me," Roxanna finished very annoyed, but waited his responce.

Edrin sighed. "I already know who you are." he said. "And you are in danger, at least I think you are." he raised an eye brow. Should I tell her who I am? He wondered. I guess it wouldn't hurt, she told me (though I already know!) "Okay, look I'm the Prince of France. But I don't like this war either." he waited for her to say something.

Roxanna wasn't surprised that he knew who she was, she was expecting it anyways. Roxanna knew how to defend herself, her father put her through many schools of defence, loads of teachers, but she's never needed it because she always had her guards with her. Now that she didn't she had to be prepared to defend herself. Roxanna was surpirsed when he told her that he was Prince of France. That's when Roxanna realized she was in danger. "Shouldn't you be dragging me to your father, using me as hostage or something?" Roxanna asked, he was her "enemy" yet it seemed as though he wanted to help her. "The war has caused nothing more but suffering to those who lose their men to this war. I don't even know why this war started, I can remember my father telling me it's been going on since my grandfather ruled," Roxanna stayed silent, if only things were different!

Edrin rolled his eyes. "You're right, I should drag you off this instant." he tilted his head at her. "But I'm not going to." He glanced behind himself, that was nothing but thick layers of trees all around the clearing. But he knew those men would be looking for them, his horse snorted nerviously. He was of course trained in fighting and defence but that certainly didn't mean he went looking for trouble. I don't want to fight both of them! Of course he was being rather silly thinking that they wanted to actack him, but he was trained to look at everyone that wasn't a from France as an enemy. Funny I think of them as enemies but I have the Princess of England standing next to me and all I want to do is help her.
"You know." he said, suddenly thinking about something. "When I don't turn up my father's going to have half of France looking for me. And I haven't the faintest idea where we are. This forest is big to say the least." he fingered the sword strapped to his horse absentmindly.

The man who was lying on Richard grinned, suddenly stood up and ran after the stranger.
"Oï! It's my victim!" He muttered for himself, frustrated. He followed the second man as quickly as he could.
"Did ya find'em?" he asked to him, as he had abruptly stopped.
Then he saw the girl waking up...
He felt a twinge of excitation pierced his heart, as Richard saw her. She was, surely, a beauty...No! Business's business! he thought, shaking his head. At the girl's voice's ound, he listened attentively. What he heard let him perplexed. "Princess of England?! That's gettin' interestin'..." He smirked. As soon as he would have killed these two men and kidnapped her, everytihng would be easier. For now, he could just listen to the conversation between Roxanna and...Huh? The Prince of-of his own country?!
"Damn!"
He jumped out of his hideout with all the dignity he had.
" 'Ello 'gain, Majesties..." He made a quick reverence, smiling as respectfully as he could.

Roxanna couldn't help but roll her eyes at Edrin's last comment, Roxanna was about to say something when she was cut off by the same man who tried to help her, ~She was the nearest to him~ Roxanna was shocked he knew who she was or was he refering only to Edrin? Roxanna froze, she didn't move toward Edrin, although she knew she should have, this man could easiliy take her. Roxanna kept her mouth shut hoping he didn't want to hurt Edrin or her.

Edrin's first thought was to pull out his sword, but this man looked oddly familar, like he'd seen him before. Edrin hadn't noticed before but... I must be loosing it! Roxanna was closer to the man meaning she could easliy be taken by him. But this man at least knew who he was. Did he know about Roxanna too?
Edrin moved closer so he was inbetween him and Roxanna. "Good day sir, I don't believe I got your name earlier."
