Letters

Chapter One

"Oyez Oyez Oyez!" The town crier began. He stood in the centre of Washington, not far from the Palace of the Rogers Family, where the new King is living. He was holding a scroll with a red velvet tassel attached to it, swaying as the light breeze hit it.
"I have come to announce, that the new King Steven Rogers will be holding a ball in 3 days times in search of a wife and a new Queen of America. This message comes with warning of extra Knights surrounding the Palace and most of Washington for precautions and protection of the Princesses and some of their people as they arrive and spend the following nights. I shall say no more. If anyone interferes or causes disruption there will be consequences such as beheading. That is all." The crier says as he turns and stomps back towards the palace, two knights standing either side of him. The muttering of the elderly takes over, as they all fascinate over how beautiful the new Queen will be. The sighs of the younger lady's, wishing it was them. Everyone else got back to their daily duties.

'Princess Natasha Romanoff of Russia'
'Princess Wanda Maximoff of Sokovia'
'Princess Margret Carter of Britain'
'Princess Shuri of Wakanda'
All the letters said the same thing.
'Dear ......
We have written to invite you to the New King of Americas ball, he is in search of a wife and Queen for America, and we think your daughter could be a perfect choice for the King, America and Your delightful Kingdom.'
And they were all going to be sent to every kingdom on Earth and even to different Planets. For example: Princess Valkyrie of Planet Sakaar.

"Darling, how is the letter writing going? Have you accomplished all the Kingdoms necessary?" Sarah said to Joseph. The previous King and Queen of America.
"Yes." Joseph sighed. " I just don't believe there are enough..yes there are over 50 different Princess from different Kingdoms and Planets coming, but I feel there is something missing." He said.
"Dear, maybe you should let Steve see, it is his future wife we're discussing." Sarah quietly said while placing her delicate hands on her husband's shoulders.
"Yes alright. George my old friend could you bring Steve up to our chambers." Joseph asked, rather impatiently. George was the head of the knights and Joseph's right hand man. Friends since childhood, George's family has been involved with the Rogers for generations, and the first born son has always grown to be the head of the knights like their own father. George's son was James, who frankly is Steves best friend since also childhood. He is already part of the knights and is the new Kings right hand man. But once the King is married. George is stepping down and is being replaced by James. Giving him the title of head of the knights.

Not too long after Joseph's request, Steve walks through the wooden doors leading to his fathers office, he is companied by George and James. 
"Ah yes son, come come." Joseph says waving his hands back and forth indicating for his son to go to his desk. Steve does so.
"Father, what do you need my help with?"  The king says, his steel blue eyes looking in concern at his father.
"Oh it's nothing to be concerned with. I need an opinion from my dear son." He replied
"Look here, I've written all the letters to be sent out to a potential future wife for you, inviting them to your ball in 3 days times. But I can't help but wonder if we are missing some? Should I invite the other daughter of King Ivan Romanoff of Russia? Or-"
Joseph is stopped mid sentence.
"Dear stop, I'm sure Steven understands what you mean. He is a smart boy." Sarah says.
"Thank you Mother. Father I'm sure there a more than enough lovely Princesses who will be delighted to come to the ball." Steve said while reading each of the Names and Places they come from.
' Princess Xialing of China'
'Princess Makkari of Planet Olympia'
Steve begins to furrow his eyebrows.
"What son?" Joseph asks.
"As far as I know there is a Princess on Asgard who could-"
"No! That is the end of this discussion. Go!" The Old King shouts.
"Excuse me I don't think that is how you speak to your King!" Steve retaliates.
The two stare at each other intensely. Blue eyes battling each other.
"Okay enough. The pair of you. Stop fighting for dominance. Joseph your not King anymore. But when you were Steven respected you so respect him." George says while he opens the heavy door for Joseph to leave.
As he does so. George following behind.

"Look darling, I'll send off the letters. You get some rest you have a few bigs days coming up" Sarah says while placing a kiss to her sons cheek.
Steve nods and leaves the room heading to his chambers. James stopping at the door before leaving. "Lady Sarah. I know I don't have a say, but if Steven is wanting to see the Asgardian Princess. Maybe it's worth placing a letter in for them. They despise us just as much as we despise them, so they will more than likely not respond. But the King seems curious. Maybe it could settle things between the two families?" And with that he leaves the room to catch up with the King.
Sarah stood alone in the office of her husband. She glances over to the paper, ink and quill and walks over.
"Winnifred!" Sarah shouts for her main maid. James' mother, George's Wife.
Winni trots over.
"I need you to write me a letter."
