Mithian made her horse go faster as the procession wound its way up the hill into Graecia. When she reached the head, she came and fell into step beside her father who was surveying the surrounding countryside with pleasure. Mithian reminisced briefly of the previous day when she and her father had gone out on a ride together. She may be young but she had almost beaten him. Almost.
Now they were riding north to the Kingdom of Graecia for a formal visit with that kingdom's royalty. Mithian knew how it went, they arrived, they ate, they exchanged polite conversation and they went home again. Nothing exciting or interesting ever happened in these places.
Soon the city was in sight and the procession slowed as they made the final ascent to the castle.
“Mithian,” her father said, as they were riding through the gates, “I know you usually find these things terribly dull and end up playing with the stable hands, but this time, I've got a little surprise for you.”
Mithian sat up in her saddle, excited to know what this surprise was.
“There is also a young princess in this kingdom, she is called Polyxena and I'm sure you'll be pleased to meet her.”
They rode through the gates and into the citadel to be greeted by a fanfare of trumpets.
And there, on the steps was a young princess – Mithian wondered what she was like.
