Unkept Promises

I

Ranboo's POV:

"Come forward princes of the fellow kingdoms, I assume you all know what you're here for," stated King L/N. He is the king of Raynome. "In case you don't, which is unlikely, you are gathered here to attempt to become future king of Raynome and marry my daughter."

I'll be honest, I don't want to be here...

"She will come in and select five out of the fifteen of you, the remaining ten will be sent home. The selected five will be staying here for a month and we will find out who's land this will belong to alongside Y/N," he explained. Just as he said her name, Y/N, she walked through the huge doors. If I didn't feel the uncomfort of not wanting to be there, I wouldn't have known, but I did. She didn't want to be here either.

"Hello, I'm Y/N, the future queen of Raynome," she sighed. "I shall now select five of you to spend a month here in the palace," she finished. She looked around the room and stopped at a boy just about my height. He had brown hair that was somewhat curly, and his suit had a pin that displayed a music note. "Please step up," she said seemingly unamused. "I am Wilbur Soot from the kingdom of Melodale," he spoke. "You have been selected," she smiled, and he bowed.

She looked around the room again, three more times, selecting three others. However, I will say, she would often glance at me before selecting someone.

It was now time for her to select the last prince to stay at the palace.

Y/N didn't even bother looking around the room this time, she just asked me to step up. "It is a pleasure to be here your majesty. I am Ranboo Beloved from the kingdom of Snowchester," I say. Surprisingly, she smiles. I had only ever seen her smile when the first prince went up, Wilbur was his name I believe.

"Thank you all for gathering here today, my apologies to those who were not selected. Your rides are arriving, allow our servant Puffy to escort you out. A short woman with long hair had her follow them back out to the porch.

"Congratulations to those of you that have been chosen, Y/N shall lead you to our guest rooms which will be your rooms for the month starting tomorrow," the King said again. Wilbur snickered quietly and was dropped off at his room first.

As we made it to the other rooms, I realized that only Wilbur's was on its own, the others were on the same hall. I wonder why. I don't think that there weren't enough, as there were still another 4 rooms just along the same hall.

I was the last to be dropped off. "Thank you," I mumbled awkwardly. "Of course, and by the way, so you aren't caught by surprise, you will be having dinner with me and the rest of the royal family," she said. "Of course. May I ask why you didn't tell the others?" I asked. Not sure if that's the most formal thing I should've said, but it's a bit late now. "Puffy will come let everyone know, just thought to let you know as I just remembered it," she said. "Alright, thank you your majesty," I bowed. "Oh, and no need for formalities around me, call me Y/N, but not in front of my dad, I don't want to ruin your chances at being the future king, he's really the one that decides, not me," she said once again. "Tidy up now, Puffy will come pick you up within an hour!" and with that she smiled and walked off.

Just as she hit the intersection of the hallway, Wilbur walked up to her, he hugged her. She hugged back. They said something to each other and laughed before Wilbur walked back in the direction he came from.
