The Angst In Our Souls// Solby

Chapter 1

Sam's POV:
I climb into the carriage, my mother soon after. "Sam... you know this means you will have take the throne now correct?" My mother asks referring to my fathers death. "Yes mom, but what about the Brock dynasty being now combined with our kingdom?" I asked with some worry in my voice, truth was I have grown a liking to Prince Colby. "Hm, I did not think of that dear, have Corey visit their side of the kingdom once we arrive home. And tell Tara that you must get new clothing since you will be a king." She said in an orderly fashion, I sighed and stared the rest of the ride home.

"excuse me Corey?" I asked seeing my knightly guard approaching me promptly. "Prince Brock and his workers have paid a visit, they are waiting for you Sam." Corey explained as he walked me to the room where they were seated. "Finally joining us I see." The brunette prince said with a glare, "well I apologize for my father passing last minute and not having time in advance to plan the funeral and reschedule our meeting." I said with some aggressiveness. "Excuse us, we have brought your afternoon tea's" my maid Tara said placing a cup in front of me, Devyn Colby's maid doing the same. I nodded to Tara and she went to tend to some cleaning, Devyn taking a seat next to Colby. "Now with both our father's deceased, one of us must rule." Colby said, "You are correct, now I believe that I should be the sole ruler of our kingdom." I told him. "Hm, I have a few problems with that. You are gay no one wants a gay ruler. And we'll look at your old clothing, not to mention your kingdom has been around for a shorter amount of time than mine." He says getting agitated. "Yes but you would never be able to handle this large of a kingdom. You are a lazy prince and would be an even worse king. Most of your princely duties have been handed off to your Knight Jake. At least I will complete all my  deeds." I told Colby as I watched him. "Boys, please we will give you both one month to get over your differences and choose who rules." My mother said walking in the room, "you will both meet every day of this month and spend it together. With only each other and if needed your knights. Now Colby we much get back." Colby's mother said as she followed my mother in the room. Colby nodded and left along with his maid and knight. "I'm so sorry if he offended you." His mother said and left after hugging my mom. "Let me escort you to your room, Tara is waiting with a new wardrobe." Corey said reaching a hand out, I grabbing his hand and he helped me up. I followed him to my room, he nodded and stood to guard. "Hello Sam! I have laid a few pieces on your bed, your new clothing is most of the same style with different colors." Tara explained as she picked up the clothing and showed me. "Thank you Tara, these are more fitting for a king!" I said giving her a small hug. "Your welcome sir, now get some rest you will be up bright and early for day one with Colby." Tara said pulling away. I nodded as she left the room, I change into some pajamas. I took off my father's ring and placed it on my nightstand, I slid into the large bed and drifted into a deep sleep.
