No Prince Charming (BoyxBoy)

No Prince Charming Chapter Five

Chapter Five

The days that passed after that, I kept myself busy, either, training, studying or helping my mother out with castle duties. At night I set the man servant to work either cleaning or sending him off on errands and most nights I sent him away well before midnight. Having him in my presence only reminded me of the fact that I was being forced into marrying his mistress. A fact that made me miserable and bad tempered. I was beginning to not only hate the princess, but to also hate myself. It was because I was different, not normal, that I was so unhappy with what was going on. The princess had a fair point, it would be best for our two countries to combine, best for our people, but I was too caught up in my own selfish needs to except that. So instead, I walked around yelling orders at everyone and lashing out at anyone who commented back.

After a week, my mother began to notice that something was terribly wrong, and that I was unhappy, but her way of fixing it was to order both the princess and I, out on a picnic, alone. It was supposedly meant to relax and distress me. If only my mother knew that the princess was my reason for being so stressed and angered, maybe then she wouldn't be forcing me to spend the whole day with her. Then again, she had no problem with forcing me to marry a woman who I had never met until her father dropped her off at our door step.

Groaning with frustration I pushed myself away from my room window, where I was looking far off into the distance, wishing to be anywhere away from here. Moping around had done nothing for me, with just a quick glance at my reflection in the mirror I could see that I looked dreadful and needed sleep badly, but I just couldn't pull myself out of this state of morning. No one had died, so why was I in such misery? It may have something to do with having to marry a narcotic red head who has chosen to please her father like a good little girl, and, in doing so, pull at all the wrong strings on my account. It may also have something to do with the fact that I was to angry with the fact that the Man servant belonged to the Princess, when I wanted him to be mine so desperately, wanted him in many ways.

At that thought my mind clicked into place. If I was being forced into marrying the Princess, then I was going to force her to hand over her man servant. I'll marry the Princess in the public eye then keep the man servant in the background as my own. It would be risky, but it was a risk I was willing to take. I would be helping my people and helping myself all at the same time, it was perfect. I think it was time for me to take up my Mothers order of a picnic, and take Princess Isabella out to consult.

"I'm surprised to see you out of your room, let alone out here with me for a picnic. So I'm guessing you have your reasons?" Of course the Princess was quick to catch on, we were walking along the forests edge alone, not even her man servant, of whom I was out here to speak about, was by her side as usual.

Smiling charmingly at her, I responded to her in a calm, chipper tone. "Well, I've decided to accept the marriage situation... on one condition, you hand your man servant over to me, full time."

As the words left my lips the Princess stopped walking and a look of pure horror crossed her face, then that horror turned to pure anger. "Makao is not something I can just trade off as I see fit; he is a person, a friend. I will not sell him off to you like some dog."

Snorting I turned to her and spoke in a sneering voice, "Why not, you bought him like a dog."

Her voice an almost snarl now, she responded to me, "I saved him, and I do not have to follow any conditions of yours. You are the one being forced into this marriage, not the other way around."

I tuned my expression into one of superiority and said, "Yes but you are forgetting something Princess, if we marry I will become King, your people will become mine! I will be able to do with them however I please."
