Ingrid couldn't sleep last night, since Katica made her promise to start practice kissing the upcoming days.

The little prince was twiddling her thumbs in the labyrinth of the castle's garden.

She was waiting for Katica on a stone bench.

It was early in the morning.

Ingrid was staring at the shadow of the stone dial's index in front of herself.

She was wearing light silk shirt and horse leather trousers.

A bush was moving in the near.

Suddenly a girl jumped out from the nearby hedge wall.

-Those maidens!-She panted. -They always want me to wear hundreds of layers!

It was cold in the shadow but Ingrid was sweating from the nerve. Katica was only wearing one green dress. Her nipples were showing through as she was cold.

Ingrid looked away left. Katica sat there next to the little prince. Ingrid turned away to the front.

-What is it?-Asked the princess.

-I'm not sure that I can do it. -Said Ingrid.

-Why? Am I that ugly?

-No...it's just... I feel like I'm burning... I shouldn't do this...

-You can't go back on your words now, you promised, you remember?

-I do. -"I wish I stayed in my room and just not responded to her request...That would have been so much easier...this is troublesome...and why do I think of that black prince all the time?"

-We don't have too much time...okay, listen! -She said and waited till the northern prince turned her head there.

-Okay, now...kiss me! -Said the princess.

-What? Why I first? -Asked the younger.

-Cause I am the lady!

-Oh... I forgot! -She said ironically.-Okay...

1 minute later...

-I can't do it like this...Don't look!-She said to the princess and she looked up... As Ingrid slowly got closer, Katica's eyes started to turn down and up. -Oh damn, just close your eyes if you can't stay still!

She clenched her eyes. The prince waited still she calms down a bit, and then Ingrid kissed the girl's lips quickly.

It was just one moment of touch, then they both were just sitting quietly beside each other.

-So?... Did it hurt? -Asked the little prince. Ingrid looked at the blushing princess' face.

-No... Lets try it again, one moment longer.

-Again?...Okay. Close your eyes.-This time she just gently closed her eyes, her face stayed relaxed.

Ingrid hasn't counted the moments, but she made sure that it was longer than before.

When their lips parted away, Kati opened her eyes slowly and stared at the other.

-What?-Asked embarrassed Ingrid and stood up. -What??

-I see. -Murmured the princess.

-What?

-I think I understand now what you were talking about...

-About what?

-Nothing.-She said and jump to her feet.

- Thank you for today! - She said in a hurry and ran away leaving Ingrid there speechless.
