“I’ll be meeting with park security when we get to the resort to go over arrangements for making sure that you’re safe for the duration of the trip,” Felix said.

I sighed as I looked out the window at the cars and buses passing by. I barely felt the SUV moving as we brushed past all those people at high speed in a fast lane created by the local police. I wondered what it felt like being out there in one of those cars visiting the park with the family.

No such luck here. Not that I’d want to be around mom or dad anyways considering how they’d been acting since the little incident. Speaking of.

“You don’t have to use polite euphemisms, Felix,” I said. “I know very well what you mean when you say you’re making sure I’m safe.”

“Sometimes polite fictions are all we have, highness,” Felix said. “Regardless. Your father told me to make sure you stay safe and out of trouble, and I fully intend to do both.”

I looked out the window again just in time to pass a couple of large buses lined up in traffic. I stared up through the tinted windows and saw excited faces of people who looked to be about my age, maybe a little younger, staring down eagerly at the passing cars. No doubt wondering what all the fuss was about or fantasizing about what it would be like to be the person being whisked around in an overpriced SUV by a police escort.

I’d like to say I looked up at those faces and wished I was on that bus, but I wasn’t willing to go that far. It seemed like being crammed into a metal tube like that with a bunch of other people dealing with uncomfortable seating wouldn’t be the best experience. Still, there was a part of me that very much wondered what it would feel like to experience the park like they were. Away from home, mostly on their own, getting to visit a strange new place.

I glanced across the SUV to where Felix sat smiling that smug smile that I hated so much. Those people on the bus might not be as comfortable as me, but they certainly had the advantage of no smarmy security guard watching their every move.

“Safe and out of trouble is all well and good, Felix, but is all this really necessary?”

Felix leaned forward and the smile was gone. Great. Serious Felix was coming out to play.

“You’re the heir to the throne of Allora and you will have to learn to live with security like this. The sooner you get used to that the happier your life will be, highness.”

“Whatever you say, Felix,” I replied.

I didn’t see the point of all the security, but no doubt he would think I was just complaining for the sake of complaining. The heir to a small European country that was so out of the way that it didn’t even get mentioned in the history books because everyone forgot about us?

I mean sure I’d done my share of getting Allora noticed.
