The girl did as he asked she packed her bag with all the necessary things, because she did not completely trust the prince, when she was finished, she went straight to bed and had a good, peaceful night rest, one she had not gotten in a while, due to all of the work she does. The next morning the girl woke up early, took a bath, did the necessary things and went into the stables to take a look at the horses while waiting on his royal highness.

After Octavia entered the stables, one among the horses started to behave really bad, she did get a little scared but just then she heard someone said from behind in a gentle voice "he is a fighter, no one could have ever tame him", when she took a look it was the prince, "your highness" she said, " pick a horse, you will need one for the journey, i do not travel with carriages" he replied, "do you need anything?" she asked, "not for now, oh wait i hope you know to ride a horse" he said, she stared at him "oh for heaven sake" she said to herself, "yes sire, i do know to ride a horse" she replied, "good let's see which horse you pick" he replied, "umm can i try the black horse" she asked, his eyes widened "what?" he exclaimed, "are you crazy?" he asked, "no, just please let me try" she asked, "hmm fine, but if you get hurt do not come crying to me or the queen" he replied.

​​

She looked at the horse carefully, he was jet black, had strong hooves and very muscular, 21.2 ½ hands was his height, he had long straight black hair and his eyes was piercing, this horse was not only amazing but one of the strongest ever known and very rare too, she took two step towards him he scoffed and started to dig up the hay "that horse will charge" the prince said, she did not listen to him.

Octavia then stretched her right arm to the horse slowly, a few minutes after the horse felt the calmness of her around him, he sniffed her hands and when he realized she was a friend and not a foe, he rubbed his face against her hands, the girl laughed, exhaled deeply and gave the horse a apple "wow i cannot believe that horse broke to you" the prince said, "i did not break him, this big guy just trusted me" she replied, the prince walked forward, stood next to the girl saying "well he has to trust me if we are going to take him on the trip too" he replied, he did exactly as she did, the horse well since he trusted the girl and she was there, he got to trust the prince too, allowing him to touch him just for a minute.

He smiled with Octavia "well you have got some skills after all" he said, "thank you sire" she replied "come on it is time for you to take care of my breakfast then gather your horse and mine along with both of our stuffs and we will be off" he said, {sigh} "okay your highness" she said, as they walked to the dining hall "good morning you two" the queen said, "good morning" both of them replied, "well where were you two?" king Augustus asked, "we were finding her a horse Augustus" Cassius replied, "oh which one did she choose?" Mary asked, "

"The black one" Octavia" said, "t.. the black one, that horse is a beast" the king said, "well apparently he likes her" the prince replied, "he is no beast, that horse is special" the girl said, "well if he trust you and would at least listen to my bro then i am sure, he will be fine to take on the journey" the queen replied.

"I must say you have great taste" the king said, "thank you" she replied, as she served the prince his food, when she was finished, Octavia sat down, had her breakfast and chatted a little with them. After they had their food, Octavia gathered the horses and placed their respective things on their horse, when the prince was ready, he came to check if the girl placed his bag properly on his horse, along with that the guy made sure that she was dressed to ride a horse, he was amazed that she was, before they took off he and the girl bid farewell to the king and the queen as they took off.

They rode for two hours until the came across a city called Margovia, there they stopped at a inn, which was more like a bar in Octavia's perspective, the city was really nice and so were the people, she was not happy about being in a inn that had more men and drunkard, the prince noticed that she was uncomfortable but he had to collect something so she had no choice but to follow him, for she had never been out of her kingdom before this was her very first, while they were walking in the inn, a certain guy stared at her, she swallowed heavily and walked straight and directly at the side of the prince.

Soon they came to a table where the prince sat, scared Octavia sat near him, he wanted to chase her but did not "you need to have some courage girl, if you are going to continue on this journey with me" the prince said, she folded her cuff "which girl would not feel violated in a damn place like this" she replied, he grabbed her hand "don't you ever talk to me in that tone, deal with it" he replied, she got angry but because he is the prince she stayed quiet or else she would have eat his brain for sure, about five minutes later, a young woman came to the table to take their order, apparently the prince caught her dirty eyes, so she started to flirt with him and the idiot flirted back with her too, that made the girl felt worse "eww how gross" she said to herself.

When the prince finished flirting, he told the woman whose name was Miranda that he was waiting on someone and did not want to order anything, she did went back to doing her job but before that she said "well if you do need something all you have to do is call my name", the prince turned and looked at Octavia, he saw how pink she had gotten "what's up with you?" he asked, she glared at him "nothing can we just hurry up and leave from here" she said, "okay" he replied, a minute later, a guy came to the table handed him something wrapped in a cloth then left.

Octavia did wander what it was but wasn't that curious to peek, "let's go" the prince said, before they could open the door to go, a guy came and blocked their path, it was the same guy that was staring at the girl when they first came in the inn, after the blocked their way, a group of men stood up looking at the prince and Octavia "well this seems interesting" the prince said to himself, "where are you off to pretty?" the guy said to the girl, looking at her in a bad way, she grabbed on to the prince's sleeve, he looked at her and the men " why don't you stay here a little while with us, you could have a lot of fun" the man said, "leave me alone" she replied, "aww you want us to leave you alone, sorry that will not happen" the man replied as he was going to touch her, the prince pulled her behind him, grabbed onto the man and threw him into the table, the girl stared at him, "you try touching her again see what i do" the prince said in anger.
