Snippet #18067

Isabella was at a loss on what to say or do while around the stranger, she knew she was seconds away from death and there is nothing she could do. Maybe it was time to tell the truth…it was at least worth a shot I mean he would for sure kill her if she kept her rank a secret. She had to take a deep breath, glancing to the enemy Knights a good ways on the field. Thoughts of escape were certainly out of the question now and with a gentle shake of her head she spoke softly.

“I…yes I am from Zadonia,and why I’m here? Well I’m asking myself that same question now Sir…I’m not even supposed to step outside the walls let alone on a battlefield but I wanted to help I was tired of standing aside and I certainly couldn’t bear to do so any longer….”

She paused for a second before continuing then glanced to her Father still in battle “Would you…could you….help my Father? I don’t want to see him killed that’s part of the reason I’m here today he is getting older and I wanted to keep an eye on him but then my stupid horse decided to take off right through enemy lines and well here I am…” She holds her delicate hand out forcing her soft rosey lips to curve into a sincere smile. “My name is Isabella…”

She waited quietly with her small hand extended tilting her head slightly as she waited…she was ready though if he did try anything. She was indeed a Princess and a female but she seemed to not know fear as well as most and in this case she hoped her sly talking had avoided her death for at least a bit. But even if he did free her disguise was blown…she would certainly be caught by members of her country which would transfer to her Mother who would ring her neck for sure. Suddenly this whole thing just didn’t seem worth it anymore…
