She nodded to Jayce, signalizing that she understood.

In a minute she walked over in the direction of the garden. When the guards tried to stop her she calmly told them that Taco had to go to the bathroom.

She walked down a stone path touching many of the flowers and, stopping to sniff one every once in a while.

(Oh my gosh I am so sorry for not replying. I didn't get a notification apparently.)

Jayce waited for Bella patiently and soon heard the sound of hooves. He turned to see Taco's head over the bushes and stood to walk that way. Jay's shoes clicked quietly on the stone path as he walked in a proper manner, his back straight and his strides even. It didn't take long for him to find Bella and Taco among the rows of flower bushes. He smiled kindly seeing Bella smelling the beautiful flowers and says, "I can get a servant to come pick some for you if you would like. We have plenty of flowers anyway."

(Its ok)

-

"It's all right. Taco was trying to eat some earlier, and I had to see what that was all about." she smiled. "And they are really nice quality flowers." The roses were a lush red, the tulips being lush in all colours. The flowers were all exultantly cared for, and the strawberries were so huge, that Isabella had to eat one. It was instinct!

"I mean the strawberries are good!" she jokingly told Jayce.

He listened as Bella spoke and nodded. "The gardeners take great care of the flowers," he says looking around at the nearby flower bushes, "as well as all of the other things grown here. All of the things grown here usually go straight to the kitchen but since I'm king now I might allow the servants to sell some or take a few baskets home to their families if needed." Jayce then chuckled at Bella's comment about the strawberries and nods in agreement before saying, "Yeah they are. You should try the jam and the strawberry deserts the kitchen staff makes. They are really good."

"Really?" she smiled. "Well then, I'll have to try some! But first, let's celebrate you being king!" It almost looked as if, she wanted to say something more, but didn't go through with it. Taco pushed Isabella forward, seemingly as if he wanted them to do something about their current state.

"Taco!" she scolded at the stallion.

He smiled some as Bella spoke and nodded. He then chuckled some as Taco pushed Isabella towards him more. "Well are you planning to come to the ball tonight," he asks her, "it is in celebration of me becoming king. Unless you have a different way you want to celebrate."

(Won't be on for 4 days)

"I mean, the ball does sound nice," she said, "but I do know a place where we can ditch the crowds, just the two of us. I would bet you that you don't know the name of half the people there, and trust me, the nobles won't be looking for you." She smiled as she told him the idea. It sounded perfect to her! Cause, com'on Jay wouldn't even know half the people there!

(That's ok)

Jayce listened as Isabella spoke and a smile appeared on his lips. "That does sound nice," he says agreeing with her plan, "I just hope my parents won't be too disappointed with me for missing my coronation ball. But I could just tell Luka to come up with an excuse for me."

"Luka seems like an amazing person to have by your side, does he ever get a break?" she asked softly, "like go to his home for a while. Wait, he does have a home outside the castle? Right?" She looked at him waiting to see how his face would react. Often times, it was the face that told you the answer.

Luka seemed really nice, but he never left Jay's side, unless told to. He was loyal, fantastic for when he grows just a bit more, he shows a lot of common sense, making him a lot more likeable. Luka was kind, sweet, and really loyal.

Isabella didn't know much about him. Other than his outstanding loyalty, of course.

"Yes he does get a break," Jayce says, "I don't make him work all of the time, since I can do mostly everything on my own. But he likes to help a lot even when he has the day off." He paused for a moment at Isabella's question on whether or not Luka has a home or not before replying. "Luka's family lives outside of town," he explains, "they live at least a day's travel away in the country side. They own a small farm and come into town once a year to sell their harvest, crafts, and animals. I give Luka a week off every month to go visit them unless they come to stay in town for the week of selling."
