Richard

those were the times when there were kings and queens
Richard was the son of a master
He was a polite boy from childhood and behaved like a gentleman from the age of 6
Richard's father once introduced him to you
you were a princess and the king's daughter
kind, active, with a sense of humor
Richard's father hoped that Richard would win the heart of the king's daughter in the future.
Richard treated you with respect, because he was lower in status than you, he did not forget his usual manners, but you were still good friends, you laughed together, you took him as a dance partner at balls, even the servants ship you, and the king himself saw that Richard treated you with care.
And so the years went by, you were 16 years old, Richard often came to visit you and you had tea parties, walked in the garden, he often accompanied you when you went into town for shopping
