Chapter 2

Vincent was getting bored. His father was sitting on a fine wooden chair Infront of a table with a stack of documents so high that it almost touched the roof, James had to use a ladder to being down a document every time he finished with the last. At first he was still talking to Vincent but over time he concentrated more and more on his work leaving Vincent extremely bored. Earlier Vincent and James met with the king but Vincent already met the king a multitude times so when his dad talked to the king Vincent found himself uninterested and unimpressed, and now that he and his father were just sitting in silence in a room. He was already bored of doodling and James was to focused to give his son much of a conversation. However while Vincent was slowly fading into the realm of sleep he suddenly heard a knok on the door. He got up and opened a the door. There Infront of him stood a Cute girl about his age with long and curlt brown hair and Sparkling eyes. He'd seen her a few times in the past but he'd never talked to her before. He remembered her name was Victoria and she was the 5th or 6th princess to as far as he remembered.

She Curiously looked around the room and than bashfully began to blush before asking Vincent in a shy voice.

"C-c-could yo- ehh would you come and play?"

Vincent who thought anything would be better than staying in this boring old room happily agreed. James just lifted his eyes for a few seconds and waved his hand permitting Vincent to leave alongside the princess before going back to his work. Victoria heald Vincent's hand as she slowly tugged him to a wide room. The room was painted to look like it had a blue sky and that they were surrounded with tall green gras, in the middle of the room was a round table surrounded by chairs with a big plushy toy sitting on each expect one. Victoria lifted a plushy tory rabit and told it.

"Sorry mister Wabit but i have a guest today and drinking to much tea is unhealthy for a a rabbit"

She then gently lifted the rabbit and placed it on a bed inside the room. She than sat on one of the two unoccupied chairs and signed to Vincent to sit on the char that was previo occupied by the toy rabbit. As Vincent approached Victoria poured some liquid into two tea cups. She soon took a sip from one and handed the other to Vincent. When be took a sip he discovered I was tea.

Vincent: "i think the tea is cold"

Victoria: "i think its just right"

Vincent: "so anyways what are we doing where are the swords?"

Victoria: "What swords?"

Vincent: "what do you mean what swords? If you dont have a wooden sword how are you supposed to play? Or will we do a bord game? This room is to small for tag and there aren't enough hiding spots for hide and seek?"

Victoria: "you need swords to play? I thought you inly needed dolls?"

Vincent: "wont dolls break of you smash them against eachother? Swords are far better they dont break as easily! Because they don't break as easily rhey don't restrict the ways you can play with them. Me and my cousin charlie decided we wanted to dig a mud castle one day so we used our wooden swords as shovels even though they're not originally made for it, can you so that with a doll?

Victoria: "whats a mud castle"

She asked in interest.

Vincent: "Its like a sandcastle but made of mud!"

Victorias face contorted in disgust as she said:

"EEW YUCKY!!! Mud is so yucky why would you do that‽ Who would want to live in a castle made of mud‽

Vincent: "You know nothing of the greatness and fun of mud! Have you ever played in mud!"

Victoria: "no. Ive never ever played in mud... I rarely play outside and definitely not in mud."

Vincent: "Ah you see Princess that's the problem! Your always inside so you dont understand the outside."

Victoria:"Dont call me Princess! Call me by my name if you don't remember it just ask."

She pouted in a way that made her look even cuter in Vincent's eyss.

Vincent: "Alright prin- haha i meen Alright You'r- ok ok stop glaring at me, Alright Victoria. Happy now?"

Victoria: "Yes... Also i was wondering... How dose a sand castle not collapse on its maker?

Vincent looked at Victoria as if he saw a alien. however he continued talking to her for a few hours at first struggling to explain to Victoria that a sand castle were not a real castles and just something people made at the beach, to later on talk about how all kinds of things he enjoyed. Victoria was a good listener as she occasionally asked questions as Vincent would continue to endlessly prattle on whichever subject he felt like prattling on until James came into the room and dragged Vincent to supper. That was Vincent's first meeting with Victoria.
