Chapter 14 :(

Chapter 14 - :(

*Wilbur's POV*

I was making my way to the throne room confused as to why my father wanted to see me. Deep down indeed I was a little worried that I had done something wrong but thinking back I haven't done anything. At least I think?

Pushing my way through the doors that led into the throne my expression dropped when I saw my parents look. They looked sad? Either way I was worried.

"Mum? Dad? What's wrong?" I asked worriedly. They looked at each other and then back at me.

"Wilbur, we have been holding this off for a while, but you are 24 now and we've been very lenient with you," Mum said and I started to get even more worried. What are they talking about?

"Son.... It's time you married," Dad said. I felt something inside me break.

"I'm sorry, but you know the rules of marriage. They have to be of royal blood since you are the air to the throne... I'm sorry son," My father said, sighing.

"Sweety, you knew you would have to someday... And I know that there is something going on between you and Claire but sadly-" Mum started but I cut her off.

"Yeah, I know," I said quietly.

"So, the day after tomorrow you will have a ball and royal's from around the land will be coming and you will get to know them. I'm sorry son, this is all very sudden but we've put it off for too long," Dad said with pity in his voice.

"Okay, is that all?" I asked. They nodded and I left. I was walking the halls processing what just happened and I bumped into the one person I really didn't want to see right now. Claire.

"Oh hi Wilbur- Oh, are you okay, did something happen?" She asked. I looked her in the eyes sadly and her expression softened.

"What happened?" she asked softly.

"I uhh- Well my parents just told me I have to get married..." I said looking down at the ground, "I don't think I'm ready..."

"Oh Wil... I'm so sorry," Claire said, giving me a hug. "Is it arranged?" she asked.

"No... But my father has arranged a ball for me and the Royals are coming and apparently I have to choose," I said, pulling away from the hug. "But I already know who I want..." I whispered under my breath so Claire couldn't hear me.

A/N: poor Wilbur :(
