In medieval times, it was customary for young royalty to marry other young royalty, often to keep peace. The same is true for the two kingdoms of Spain. Prince Samuel of caninia was to marry princess Jadessa of jaguario to keep the peace between the cat and dog people.
This made Sam rather upset, as Jadessa was a total a**head and being married to her would be a fate worse than death. But his only other choice would be to be exiled, or worse, executed.
This also upset his personal servant, a small white rabbit by the name of max. He was making a plan, a step by step list to make sure Sam was happy, for secretly he was deeply in love with the prince, but knew they couldn't be together because he was not royalty, let alone because he was a man.
The first step was to find out who Sam truly loved. He knew that the princess would make him miserable, so he needed to find someone who would make him happy. Step two was to get rid of the princess. Sam wouldn't be forced to marry her if she was dead, right?
The third step was to steal the wedding rings from the royal treasury. This hopefully wouldn't be too hard since he knew where that is and could just pretend to be cleaning it. The fourth step was to convince Sam to run away, which he will definitely want to do after he finds out they will both get the rack if they don't leave. Steps five and six are to find the person Sam loves and convince them to marry him. Might be a little complicated but he would do anything to make Sam happy. And the final step is for Sam to live happily ever after with his new wife or husband.The night before the wedding, Sam was crying in his bed. Max came in. "my prince..?" Sam looked at him. "Oh.. hello max.. I.. I'm just-" max put a finger to his lips. "Shhh... I get it.." Sam sighs sadly. Max sits on the bed. "Sam.. I have a question." Sam looked at him. "Yes?" Max looks him in the eye. "I know you don't love your future wife, and who can blame you, but.." he took his hands. "Who do you love?" Sam blushed. "What?" Max smiled. "I know your heart longs for someone, but who is it? You can tell me." Sam lets go of his hands. "Y-you'll think it's stupid.." max scoots closer. "No I won't." Sam sighs shakily. "Well.. you see.. The person I love is..." he squeezed his eyes shut.
"You."
Max turned red, his heart beating fast. "W-what?" Sam looked at him, taking his hands again. "I love YOU max.. You are the only person that's ever really cared about my feelings..." he started to tear up. "You were there when I was sad, you always take care of me, and most of all, you treat me like an actual living being, and not just some trophy husband to be given away..." he wept gently while Max sat in silence.
"Sam... I never thought you would feel the same..." Max said, a bright smile making its way across his face. Sam looked into his eyes. "What..?" Max let go of his hands and hugged him tightly. "My prince, I have loved you since the moment I met you..." Sam hugged him back, laughing quietly. "Good." Max held his jaw and tilted his face down to kiss him passionately. They shared this wonderful bliss together as the minutes passed.
Max was very happy, not only because his prince shared the love he felt, but also because this means the plan would be easier since he had already found the person Sam loved AND that person already wanted to marry him.
When the two finally stopped kissing, Max convinced Sam to go to sleep, saying he would find a way to help him escape the arranged marriage.
He then snuck out of the room and off to the royal treasury, avoiding any guards and sneaking in. The rings were kept on display right in the center of the room, with moonlight shining down on them. Max laughed to himself. "Well those were easy to find." He takes both of the rings, putting them in his pocket. He sneaks out of the treasury and to the room of Jadessa. The princess was sleeping soundly, so barely noticed when Max took a pillow and smothered her with it.
With the rings in his possession and the b***h dead, he went back to Sam's room, shaking him gently. Sam wakes up. "What is it?" Max shows him the wedding rings. Sam gasps. "A-are those?" Max nods. "Plus I took care of your b***hy fiancée, so we got to go!" Sam didn't ask any questions, getting up and following max.
They somehow managed to sneak out of the palace without getting caught, hiding in a nearby forest. They come to a moonlit clearing, holding hands and staring at the sky together. Max looks up at him. "Sam?" Sam looks down at him. "Yes?" Max takes out the rings again. "What do you say we get this taken care of?" Sam smiles, getting on his knees so they can be at eye level. "Can't think of a reason not to."
Max smiles and takes his hands. "I, Maxwell the lagomorph, take you, Sam, as my husband, to have and to hold, as long as I live." he places the silver ring onto Sam's finger. Sam admires it for a minute before rejoining their hands together. "I, Samuel, the Irish wolfhound, take you, Max, as my husband, to have and to hold, as long as I live. He places the other ring onto Max's small finger. The two then kissed, happily married at last.
And they both lived happily ever after.
