The Piper had wondered around much of the fairytale land, of course he had scene much & done much yet it was become to clear that he was being out done by the dark one, not that he could really complain since well the man was better of course he used the word man since he did not know how to class him. He still got work, to pay bills so he was not out of work, yet he questioned if he might soon have to look for other work then what he was doing.
He was dressed in simple pedlar's clothing, that where mostly of red & yellow in colors, yet there was some green, brown & orange as well with in it. He had his hat that for now it appeared many remembered it more now form Robin Hood then him, but what ever it mattered little he had a pheasant feather coming out of the had on the side, his pants where just red brown color though most was hidden by his cloak. His boots where just a simple brown leather that was worn well, yet not holly at least not yet.

The Queen of Hearts had many hobbies in her life. Knitting, reading, studying-more her mother's persistence not hers. But what she really loved to do was ride her horse with her sister in the fields. Queen Kora didn't approve of her daughters roaming around on " Wild and smelly beasts. " Now Princess Guiliana followed her mothers orders to a T but her horse back riding was something she wouldn't give up. She rode all over the kingdom when she was granted the free time.
Today, Guiliana had snuck out of the castle to ride her horse. She hiked up the hem of her purple skirt as she zipped over to the stalls. Her horse was the last one in the royal stalls. I see Regina is out again. She giggled to herself. Guiliana hopped up on her white and gray horse and steered him out. Dragon whinnied when the sunshine hit his coat. It was cold outside but sunny. Winter was on it's way. " Go, Dragon. " Guiliana whispered to her stallion. The horse did as he was told and rode for the nearest patch of woods.

The Piper could feel the change in the weather of what was to come, he could not say he liked it, but nothing could be done to stop it weather would change with the seasons. He of course once winter hit stay away form going out as much he was ready for it as well, no matter how bad it got. He walked on minding what he was doing, it was not until he decided to rest that he found that it appeared something was in the air, he could not place it just yet, but he was ready for what ever might show up, he was in the forest & the sun most the time was blocked by the trees, yet when it did it gave a warm filling like a hand on a person to warm them up. He of course with the feeling stopped, to get his feelings on if it was a danger or perhaps just the change in the air.

Guiliana stopped Dragon at a creek so he could get a drink. She hopped down from her saddle and patted his neck a couple times. Her dark brown hair rolled down her back and stopped just short of her hips. Her gold tiara sat around her her and fastened together in a knotted heart pattern. A little jewel hung from the end of the heart. Guiliana adjusted the saddle on Dragon's back when she heard a twig snap in the distance. She jerked her head up at the noise and grabbed the dagger she had hidden in her saddle bag. " Hello? " She asked out loud. Dragon nickered as he stamped his hoof against the ground.

Of course he was not sure what it was, but seeing nothing he moved on of course as he came to a small parting of trees that where clearing, he came upon a stream & was surprised to see someone with a horse, of course he came to a dead stop as he heard the voice it was female he was sure of it, of course he was not sure what to make of it, he could not say he saw a great deal of people along his travels unless he was in a town or that, but at her words he though best to not press matters after all he was not out to harm her if that is what she was thinking. "And hello to you"

Guiliana lowered her dagger and let out a sigh. The guy didn't look like a threat but she knew better then to second guess a person. " Sorry. " She said. She ran her thumb across the hilt of the blade before setting it on Dragon's saddle. Her father had told her to keep the blade with her at all times when she was in the woods. After calming down Dragon, she turned back to the stranger. She squared her shoulders and straightened her back again. " Hello, sir. " Sh started. The first shock she felt washed away. It didn't take a lot to throw her off but she was quick to regain herself when she was taken off guard.

At seeing her lower the dagger, he at least did not feel as fearful that something would happen, he approached some yet he keep his distance so he did not press his lucky. "It is alright, I am surprised to see anyone out & about, most the time I do not see anyone when I travel form place to place" He did nodded lightly to her out of respected in the sense he did not wish to make her feel he was a threat & more he just was going to be on his way soon. He moved to the stream so he could get some water into his water skins, of course he was mindful that he did not spoke her because of her actions, he did not forget that she had the dagger.

Guiliana nodded. She dropped her stance to something more relaxed and at ease. " I was just passing threw the forest. " She said patting Dragon's head. " I had to stop and give him a break. " She told him. Dragon nickered again. " Hush you silly thing. " Guiliana said to her horse. He didn't like men for some reason. At least Dragon hadn't attacked yet. She was glad for that. " Where are you heading? " The princess asked looking back at the man. She didn't even know his name. Maybe details like that should come out slowly. Her face was highly recognizable in most kingdom's

He watched her at least she appeared to not spoke with his actions, he heard her words & nodded of course he did not know who she was one thing going form place to place he normally did not get to know anyone like her & if he did, well he did not get to stay very long or was not liked after words & was asked to leave. At her words he spoke as he finished what he was doing "To the next town or village" Of course he went to where he wad needed, but that is where he likely would work & also food to drink. "Where ever you are headed I do wish you a safe travel" It was not his affair to ask where she was going, he did not like to pry when it came to he never stayed in many places unless it was at his home.

Guiliana nodded again. " The next town is a couple nights walk. " She told him. She shifted her eyes to the extra blanket on her saddle bag. She unbuckled it and pulled it down. She stepped towards him and held the royal purple blanket out to him. There was a large black heart and the royal family crest stitched into the center but it was currently hidden. There was also two gold pieces folded in for luck and safe travel. " Let this keep you warm during the night. " She said. She envied travelers who got to roam whee ever their hearts wished. She would never be allowed to travel to another town on her own. She'd have to have ten heavily armed guards just to escort her to the gardens.

Well he could not say that he enjoyed her words of another couple of nights, to him it sounded like it would be a long time for him to get there, the idea of a bed became all the more nice. Though as she approached he was on guard, he could not say his years of well not being we received at some point did not rub on him, at her words he was supposed & amazed at her offer, yet he could not take what was hers the odds where she needed it more then him, of course he did not think that she was better off then most people, but he did not know it He watched her & though best that as kind as her offer was that, he knew that lady's should never be ones to go cold when it could be helped "I could not take that form you" Perhaps he had other reasons to say no, perhaps it was his own idea of deals & perhaps in some way he though people that treated those they did not know with good will, to be will long dead.

Guiliana chuckled lightly and placed it in his hands. " I won't be needing it. I'm not suppose to be out here so I have to be heading home soon. " She said. " You need it more then I do, sir. " She offered a soft smile. " I have plenty more back at the castle as it is. " She added. surely giving on blanket to someone who needed it wouldn't hurt. It's not like there was a shortage at home. She had to dig herself out of a dozen each morning. She didn't want to know someone was freezing if she could do something about it. She was slightly offended he rejected it but that was a pride thing not the right.

He listened to her words of course he found it harder to say no, as she placed it in his hands of course & he was good to show his gratefulness "Thank you, I really do not know what to say" Of course her words of the castle, shocked him into being quite. He found he did not know how to take that, not that he had not heard her more was so just a maid or something, but then as he looked at her more, he could not think a maid would ware such a thing or get to, well maybe on there time off. The only other thing was is that she was royal, meaning that her title alone would rise her above him or course most the time it was the case, but still the idea that she was royal & acting as she did well how could it be, royals where not suppose to act in such manors. How ever he was fearful to ask, at least out right any way, knowing that ether way he could offend & if wrongly well it could cost him greatly.
He though perhaps he would ask differently, it might come out better "The castle? You live in the castle?" Great now how dumb did that just sound? He did not want to think about it, he already had why did he ever speak to look more a fool then he already did with the stupid look that came to his face, with her saying she lived in a castle.

Guiliana giggled and nodded. She looked down at her full length riding gown. The small jewel hanging between her eye brows rolled. " I do. " She said turning her head up again. Her soft brown eyes met his. She registered the shock in his eyes. " Soon to be Queen Guiliana. " She said holding her hand out to him. She knew she wasn't suppose to be acting like this to a common traveler but she didn't mind being kind. Change the peoples mind about how royals were suppose to walk around with their noses so high they would drown if it started raining. Her mother ruled with an iron fist, her sister was the same way but Guiliana got her kind heartedness from her father, King Henry. " Stunned? " She asked with a grin.

If he could for feel over form shock he would of just as his jaw would of hit the ground, for more reason there her answer since well by rule he was not her equal & in doing so had to bow & all that, to much he was not fully accustomed to, but he knew well enough. How ever he was sure the shock was ever more evident on his face, he was still trying to find his voice at her question, his lip moved a few moments as if trying to get his mind, voice & body to work as they should. It took him a moment to be able to speak & he knew it best to answer he more so then before "I am your highness" He did bow to her, knowing his place & dispirited how she acted he still knew his place in this world with royals, he could lose his head for less & he of course had to question her good deed & if it would not end him up getting into trouble later on form her or someone else.
