The Noble Woman

Chapter 4

 Morgan is sitting in the corner sadly as I read it out loud. I wish she would understand that shes the only one I want. Shes the only one I see,

"Hey.. are you ready to go for our swim?" I try to lighten the mood

She cracks a smile, "Yes,"

We sneak off of my estate and into the dark scary forest,

"Are you sure you know where you are going?" I ask doubtfully

"Yes,"

After a couple of minutes I see a small pond. It is absolutely beautiful. The moonlight is reflecting off the pond making it appear to be shimmering. I take her by the hand and we stare at it in admiration. This moment couldn't be anymore perfect.

We remove all our clothes and enter the pond. The water is warm and feels nice. It comes up to my breasts. Me and Morgan hold each other under the moonlight and gaze deep into each others eyes. I feel like I can see all the way down into her soul. No words are needed for this moment.

After making love and swimming for about an hour we exit the pond and lay down nude on the grass looking at the moon. The crisp January air is making me chilled, but I enjoy the cold air. I exhale and inhale deeply.

"Absolutely breath taking," She says

"It is a sight to see,"

"How do you think it got there?"

"Maybe a higher being, maybe science. Man will never know,"

She giggles. The more time I spend with Morgan. The less i want to marry the prince. I wish me and her could find a small cottage far away from here and live happily ever after. Shes perfect for me because she knows the real me, and she accepts me.

"What do you think will happen if we get caught?" I ask

"Probably beheaded or hanged. I try not to think about that though,"

"Are you scared,"

"No. I love risking my life to be with you, I would die for you happily, because you are someone worth dying for,"

I smile.

"I love you," I say

"Oh I love you too Julia," She says then begins kissing me with erupting desire. I climb on top of her and kiss every inch of her lovely body. She cries out in pleasure as I take us to the peak of pleasure. We are drowning in desire.

******************************************************

I lie in my bed. Today is the day of the ball. The day the Prince will profess his love to me and propose marriage. My stomach churns and a tear falls from my eye. My love for Morgan has grown stronger everyday. Every night we make sweet love or go to the pond to swim, and I have never been more happier. She Prince has allowed to let me bring three of my own servants but things wont be the same. My throat feels closed in, like I cant breathe.

Four hours later every inch of my body is polished in expensive body lotion, soap, and perfume. I am dressed in one of the most grandest dresses I have ever seen. My corset and my crinoline is light pink and has gold lining.My hair is silky and falls straight down my back. Although I am sad, I must admit, this is the best I have ever looked in my life.

At the ball, everyone of wealth is present. The party is held in the biggest room in the kingdom. The room is big enough to hold thousands of people comfortable, but only a few hundred are in attendance.

The prince spins me under the gold chandelier, repeatedly telling me how much he loves me. All eyes are on us in adoration. I feel important, I feel like a princess.. but Id much rather be gazing into the moon with Morgan. I wonder what shes doing right now? Shes so upset that she didn't even come to my room last night, but I understand her grief.

"Its time," George whispers into my ear

He walks up to his throne and takes a seat next to his mother and father. It is dead silence in the room. I am standing in front of them. There is another royal seat there. That is where I will sit once I accept his proposal. He then begins to speak,

"My dear Julia. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew it was love at first sight. I was stunned by your beauty. Never in my 24 years of life have I encountered a woman nearly as half as beautiful as you. Once I started to spend time with you, I realized your personality was even better than your looks. Impossible. I thought to myself, she is too perfect to be real. Every second I spend with you feels like I'm getting a sweet taste of heaven. I long for your touch and crave your sweet kisses. I want you forever. I want to spoil you with Gold, diamonds, Pearls, silk and extreme wealth and royalty beyond anything you can imagine. Will you do me the extraordinary honor of becoming my wife?"

Then he gets down on one knee and presents me with a huge gold diamond ring,

Tears of fear, regret and misery pour out of my eyes as I say, "Yes,"

The prince puts the ring on my finger as all the guest break out in a loud applause. Everyone has mistaken my tears of agony as tears of joy. The prince sits back down in his royal chair looking elated, then motions for me to join. I walk and take a seat in my royal chair. My heart feels like its crumbling in my chest.
