I wanted to claim and scream - Mount me ! Never…!!! It means dishonor. Besides…. only one person can ride me... or I will consume myself…. I will be cursed…!!!…
I started to bleat, because it was the way I had gotten used to refusing, the noise was annoying and made me get hit a little, but it was less than when I complained with arguments.
I looked at that boy just like Hen, only one person could ride me, and since he did it once, he could do it again, but I couldn't tell, my impurity was something shameful, no one knew. I swore not to marry and die just so as not to contaminate anyone...
But if it's him again...
As I thought about that they pressed me to the ground to stop me from screaming. The blue eyes looked at me without any expression and I screamed looking at him...
Help me... help me... he said with his eyes... but he didn't move...
Suddenly a look of contempt crossed his face and he turned around and walked towards the throne...
-Father... let- he said taking the man's hand in the shadows.- I don't want to do this.
The man leaned close to the boy's ear and I couldn't hear what he said. But the little boy tensed.
"It's late, I can't take it anymore…" she held her chest and began to cough. Suddenly a woman quickly approached the child and took him in her arms.
-Your majesty... you know the condition of your highness...- the woman said fearfully- you have made a great effort being here... let him rest for now...
The man on the throne waved his hand in dejection. Let's all rest, it's too late. - Then he addressed some soldiers-Take the creature and arrange everything as I have ordered.
The men removed the reins and the weight of the cart, however they did not untie my hands and pulled on the rope to make it move forward.
The straw under my feet felt warm, the warmth of the other animals was serene, and exhaustion overcame me.
The next morning that stable door was open and I went out to see how far I could run. Beyond the fields was a forest. It wouldn't take long to get there if he ran.
I used all my energy on this, run as fast as I could, I would get out of this place, I would hide in the woods, no… I would go to the north woods, I would look for my family, my friends… Felt… Tristan… I would honor Knox … there are many things I should do… when I get out…
A thick wall stretched behind the trees, there was no way to get through, the branches were too high to try to catch them with my arms, and even if I could do it, I had never climbed, I don't even think I'll be able to…
I walked touching the wall until the hunger began to weaken me, I can't go out… but there must be food, right? As much as it is a beast, and I could not eat delicious things, they would not deny me food, they need me alive...
When I returned to the stable the child was there, in the middle of the meadow carried by the man on the throne.
I stared, he was so similar to Hen that it made me want to cry, but it wasn't him... It wasn't him...
The man lowered the boy from his arms and said - Don't be afraid, come closer.
Is that little human like Hen afraid of me? That would be so sad, I started to get closer, I wanted to be closer and feel the warmth of Hen's hands.
The boy also approached, and I could hear his father telling him- he must like children- cheering from behind.
Do I like children? - no… only Hen… I don't know other children
-Try to ride him!- the man yelled.
The boy was already close to me, he looked at me coldly, he held my hair firmly with his hand. This is not Hen, he would never approach me with this cold aura. Hen is warm and would come running with open arms and a smile on his face, not this expression.
I shook myself and even though part of me was sorry, I pushed him really hard and made him fall to the floor.
The same girl came out behind the big man and ran towards the boy shouting - Your Highness! Your Highness!
The man yelled as the woman approached- ENOUGH OF THE NONSENSE! IS A MAN! LET IT STAND ALONE!-he took a step forward, defiantly and looked at the boy- Or is it that now you want to be treated like a princess?
