Fallen for Darkness

Chapter 2: wardrobe

Killian had many different outfits to try on that took him hours in his day, with each passing day and hour it was getting closer and closer to his birthday, and his wedding (which was the following summer)
This birthday was a winter fest, him being born in december and all, so they expected mostly royals being there

There was a knock at his door, "come in" he called, Belle entered wearing a sparkling soft blue dress, "you look lovely, princess" he commented smiling, "of course I do, I picked the dress out myself and was made to fit me" she said smugly

Killian smiled trying not to roll his eyes annoyed, he took her hand and kissed the top of it, "well, my birthday is in 2 days, wanna do something before we have to go try more stuff on?, maybe a walk in the village" he offered

"That sounds like a good idea" Belle smiled, "great, I'll get our coats" Killian started to walk off but she stopped him

"Wait!"

"Aye- yes?"

"The maids can get them"

"I'll just get them luv, it doesn't matter" he said brushing her off

"You're a prince, your mother hired her for a reason"

"Ay- yes but I've managed things on my own, it's nicer that way"

"That has got to change when we marry"

"Yes princess anything for you" he sighed sadly

The maids grabbed their coats and they went to the village

"Hello Princess" Gaston said greeting Belle, he of course had those ladies behind him, they always were

"Gaston, you know Prince Killian right?" Belle asked

"Heard of him"

"Well he's my fiance, so you can just go now" she said rudely, dragging Killian away from him, Gaston's ladies circled around him smiling, he looked heartbroken

Belle and Killian passed by the gift shop when they ran into someone

"Oh I'm sorry-" the young girl started

"Hey! Watch it!, don't you know who we are!?" Belle yelled

"Belle please" Killian begged embarrassed

"I- I said I was sorry, wench" the woman in the hood said

"Ma'am please!, have some respect for the princess" Killian asked, not wanting to chose sides

"Oh I see, watch your tongue princess, one day someone will snip it off, or you'll get cursed and no one will be there to help you" the girl left

Belle was pissed. When they got home she wanted guards sent out to search for her
Killian was not happy about it

"Princess the lass was just upset, maybe she was having a bad day" he suggested

"Oh!, so you're on her side!?"

"No- no of course not, I'm on no ones side" he said right away

"You would have gotten her arrested if you cared!"

"She's a kid, what do you want me to do?"

"She's a witch!, you better take my side when we're married!"

"Of course luv" he promised

"I'm going to the library"

"Okay"

Belle left the room, Killian wasn't happy,

He didn't want to marry, not this heartless princess

His mother always told him to marry for love

But she's changed

She has ever since his father cheated on her and then left the baby at their doorstep

AFTER NAMING HIM LIAM,

After his deceased older brother, the one who died in the navy

He knew there was no use in talking his mother out of it, he went back to his room to think, before his birthday and engagement announcement
