Suitors

"This is prince Louis William Tomlinson from Doncaster" he took my hand and guide it to his lips, placing a kiss on it, I fake a smile

After that they made us go for a walk. I thought he would be another indulged prince, but actually, his pretty smart and a little revel. I like that, he's not that typical perfect prince. The evening end and I prepare my self for the night

"So how was your evening, your majesty" this time he said that name to disturb me, "it was good" I answer Toms question, "just good" I look at him while I do my braid, "he's nice, but not my type" I return my gaze to the mirror, "and what's your type, if I can ask" when I was about to answer Leo enter the room and Tom immediately make his usual position

"So, how was it?" The future king asked, and I answer the same I have answered before. I tell him everything we did and then he leave and I go to bed, to sleep

Next day I see prince William again. "So prince William-" he cut me, "just call me Louis" I nod, "right, Louis, you like horses?" He turn to see me, "I prefer music" my eyes widened, "you play an instrument?" I asked and he just laughed, "I think that's what I mean by I like music" we both laughed this time

We arrive to stable, "you're not coming?" I asked as I realize he stayed out of it, "I rather no" he replied, "you don't know how to ride, right?" He lick his lips and chuckle, "it's not funny, I bet you don't know how to do some things" I stop and go towards him to take his hand, "what are you doing?" I just guide him in front of a horse, "I'm going to teach you" he nod plenty of time letting a 'no' out after another. "Come on, it's not that hard, or are you scared, Louis" he made a serious and brave expression, "never"

I start teaching him how to do it, I never thought of someone that didn't know how to ride, it's crazy. Between the lessons there were a lot of laughs and funny moments. He's such an amazing person

The day finish again, I am, as always, preparing my self. Tom is quite this time. "You ok?" I asked, I know that do not sound so formal but he's my friend, he just nod and said a low 'yeah'

"So he's not your type" if it was another situation and another person I would say he is jealous, what is impossible, right? He's just a friend and he's so professional to fall in love with me or even like me. I smile for my self, the only idea of Tom liking me give me some little butterflies

"Right, he's not my type, he's just a friend" I turn to see him, we stared at the other until Leopold arrive. He comes every night to wish me a good night, I love him so much

Days passed, and my relationship with Louis grow, what I like. Someone, apart from Leo and Colette, has never been in my life, and I like having a friend my age. I love spending time with the 'serfdom', they are all really nice and sweet, but they can't really understand me because of the age difference. And Tom, it's fun to play with him and chat sometimes, but as I said before he's is professional, even that, he's caring, sweet, funny, and a lot of more things

"So" I heard a strong and intense voice said, "I heard you and prince William have a great time together" I tune to find my dad standing there, I just nod in agreement, "great, he's leaving tomorrow and next week another suitor will arrive" he force a smile and leave

I hate this so much, another suitor, how many are they going to be. This seems like if they were prostitutes. One new every one or two weeks, this sucks

And I know what you most be thinking, your language is not the right for a princess, but I told you before, nothing is what it seems

"Bad that prince Louis is leaving" Tom spoke, "yeah, maybe, I'll miss him" I replied and then we walk to the library

And the day for Louis to leave arrive, we both hate goodbyes, but we saw it as a 'see you soon'

On this days, without another man in my life, I have a lot of fun with Tom, he's really sweet. "What's your biggest dream?" I asked, "to be in the royal guard, to fight for England, i know it's dangerous but I want to fight for what is correct, to know that I die protecting my people" I just stare at his chocolate eyes all the time he speak, "and to give a better live to my family, live out of the place is horrible" I frown, "what do you mean?" I asked, he turn to see me, "nothing, what's yours, your biggest dream"

"To make someone smile, to make a change" I answer immediately, I know exactly what I want, he smile, "what?" She shock his head. "I know it may sounds cliche or something, but apart from Leo and Colette, I have never make someone smile, like a genuine smile. I'm the highness for everyone, for what they think they always have to have a good attitude and smile at me, but it's ok they have a bad day and don't give me a smile" as I spoke I saw Tom smiling at the floor, "what?" I asked and he look up at me

"Nothing, you are just not as I thought" we both smile at the other making eye contact, I can feel a different type of connection between us

"Y/n" Leo almost shout with an excitement tone, as he enter my room. Tom stood up as fast as he could. "Why are you so happy?" I asked, "my suit is ready and it's amazing, I also see your dress and your going to look gorgeous" I smile at his compliment, he continue telling me more things about his coronation, he's so excited, so as me. I sometimes turn my gaze to look at Tom, who never look back at me

And the new prince arrive, I hope he's not one of those princes, please let him be like Louis

This time I'm waiting for him with my dad, at the meeting room. They arrive, the prince and his entourage. He, I'm not gonna lie, is so handsome, I bet he's like Leo, the one everyone wants to date, have a night, whatever.

He walk like a perfect prince, so straight and boring. What else was I expecting? If someone is that handsome is not gonna be funny, well that's my experience. Well maybe not, Tom is Hanse and if he wants he can be funny when he wants. Louis is funny, so maybe my theory is wrong

"Tyrell" my dad bring me out of my thoughts, "where are you?" I smile, "I'm here, can't you see me?" I joke and got him pissed, I know that's not what he was asking

"It's a pleasure to have you here sir" my dad spoke, "let me present you my daughter" he sign at me and I fake a smile as always, "princess Odette Tyrell y/n of England" I made the typical reverence you have to do always

"And Tyrell, this is..."
