Princess Charming

You collide with the stranger, getting your hands up in front of you on reflex at the last possible second to try to cushion the blow. Your collision becomes a bit more gentle, but it still startles both of you and you each jump back a bit in response.

You instantly start apologizing and borderline start groveling how sorry you were. Your instincts as a lowly servant kick in before you even have a chance to get a good look at the person. A moment later, you realize it's a high-class noble girl in an incredibly elegant dress.

You have the urge to grovel even more, but she cuts in with a cheery voice "Oh, please, don't worry about it. I was the one who wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I was just so distracted by these beautiful corridors and tapestries."

Now that you got a better look, you could tell this girl looked to be about your age, had long full blonde hair nearly down to her waste with bangs in the front, gorgeous pale smooth skin, and brown hazel eyes with long eyelashes. She's absolutely gorgeous you think to yourself.

You're just staring stupidly with your mouth open, so she introduces herself "It's a pleasure to meet you my lady, I'm Princess Charlotte Featherswallow of the Independent Southern Province of Futoria's border territories" and gives a curtsy lifting the sides of her pink puffy dress as she bows. She had a bit of an accent in her voice making her seem just a tiny bit foreign, but still spoke elegantly and proper.

You collect yourself to quickly answer her back and say a bit nervously "Oh uhm Greetings Your Highness" and give a curtsy in return. You continue "Oh, and I'm Sam White" you say in your naturally soft androgynous voice.

The girl takes a sudden excited step forward and says "You don't mean Princess Samantha, the one and only trueborn daughter of the King??"

You're taken aback by her cheery excitement at the introduction but also because you're not sure what to say. This girl was incredibly cute in a sort of prim and proper kind of way, but telling her you were actually a boy might just weird her out..

You reluctantly don't correct her and say anxiously "uhhh yeah that's right."

At that response, she takes a step back and says elegantly "Well, in that case, let me greet you properly Princess Samantha" and gives another cutsy slightly different and much deeper, bowing at the waist more, so her body is pointed in your direction. While holding her stance she says "Your royal highness.." and seemed to be waiting for your hand.

You stetch out your hand and offer it to her just so she would stand back up. Charlotte takes it and kisses you on the back of your hand like she was some Prince trying to woo you. You wondered if you should do the same for her, but then she finished her bow and said "Since we have so much in common Princess, would you like to take a walk with me in the gardens?" "I have yet to see it while it's lit up in the evening".

You felt like there was no way you could refuse that invitation, and you really didn't want to anyways so you said "Of course, that sounds great" in a less than elegant way to Charlotte's own speech.

Charlotte claps her hands together and says "Fabulous!" and holds out her arm for you to take. She continues "Shall we?" You resignedly wrap your arm around hers and walk down the hallway to the gardens.

Charlotte tries talking to you on the way, which you have trouble replying to with more than just a few nervous words. As you arrive and walk out into the courtyard, you can see the sun is almost setting and stars are beginning to shine in the sky. The garden itself is lit up by hundreds of candles the servants put out every night, only adding to the ambiance. On occasion you have also had to light the countless candles, but you don't imagine you'll be sharing that bit of trivia with Charlotte.

As you stroll through the lush vegetation and flowers, you begin to loosen up as you listen to Charlotte talk about her Province and how it was a small territory that was peaceful and rich with food and happy citizens. You really were technically the far greater royalty compared to her but didn't feel like it one bit in actuality due to your own insane upbringing.

Then Charlotte began asking you questions about your family and kingdom, to which you dodged, deflected and avoiding many topics the best you could without sounding disinterested in the discussion.

After a while, you both pass by the fish pond and Charlotte says "Will you sit with me?" You nod in response and you both start bending over to sit on your knees and sides. You could hear the fabric of her pink poofy dress rubbing against itself and the ruffles underneath as she bent over to have it spread out around her sitting body.

The conversation then turns to something you actually did really want to talk about, and you told Charlotte all about your late parents. You explained how your mother was a kind and beloved woman by the people who would bring food personally to shelters and orphanages. Charlotte seemed engrossed in your words and soon added "See, that's the kind of Queen I want to be when I get older!" She placed an excited gloved hand on your forearm and continues, "Sam, your mother was an amazing person."

The comment made you feel a warm lost sense of love inside and nearly made you tear up. Before you can thank her for the kind words, Charlotte says "Sam, just so you know, I'm actually here to find a suitor and my family has organized a Ball next month to try to find a match.", her hand still lingering on your arm.

Your heart drops a bit, knowing you would never be allowed to attend as a boy to court a female wife. You were beginning to like this girl quite a bit, but it seemed this attraction might never be if you were **** to continue to live like a female.

Charlotte continues, gently tightening her hand around your forearm just a little bit, "and umm the thing is.." for the first time seeming lost for words. She adds quickly seemingly to get the words out before she lost her nerve "well I was actually born a Futanari and I would really like it if I were to marry a kind and gentle girl like you Sam". She nervously adds in a jumble of words "you know, only if you want that.. and it's perfectly okay if you don't!.. I know you're an important person in your family and I only mean... just.. I think you would be a wonderful and amazing wife is all."

You're taken aback again by her words, but you can't help feeling a bit of giddyness coming from your chest at the same time. Charlotte's pink long gloved hands on your arm was making your bare skin tingle to her touch.

You think to yourself, maybe this could work. If Charlotte was a futa, it didn't matter if you showed up to her Ball as a male or female. You had a feeling you would have very good chances if you went, as long as your stepmother didn't interfere.

You unthinkingly say back to Charlotte "Oh wow.. how interesting...", something you immediately regret saying. "How interesting"? What kind of dumb response was that?? You quickly try to rectify your clumsy words "I mean, I think that I would be interested.. in that.." again not very tactful, but better you suppose.

You lock eyes with Charlotte and she gives you a radiant smile that makes your heart flutter. You unwittingly match her smile with your own, and feel as her hand reaches down your arm to wrap around your hand. In reply, you give her hand a gentle squeeze.

You hear Charlotte say in a more softer voice "You know.. I haven't ever.. been... with someone before." She gives a subtle blush to go with her remark and begins running circles over your hand with her thumb.
