Lorelai smiled and gave the kind mare a nuzzle. "Well that's good. Otherwise I think I'd go mad behind these castle walls." Lorelai's father, the old king, seldom approved of the girl going out and after his passing that had become a part of castle rules. For the princess to leave would require a rather large entourage but she adored hearing of the vast world beyond the stone walls. Even if it was made up. She was childish in that way. 

After giving the horse a tender stroke she brought up the courage to ask a question. "Can we go riding today?" The castle grounds extended far into the forest for equestrianism and controlled hunts. People were usually so busy that no one really took thier highness riding.
