Prince Augustus Gother. Aged 28, height at 6'2", Prince Jonathan's best friend, second son of the Gother family. Why would the prince of Speldian be at the palace of Lendorr? Simple really, he wanted to meet his friend Jonathan. "Augustus Gother, lovely to meet you. I'm Archer Hastings" Archer said with a bow. "Afternoon, Archer" Augustus replied. "I've never seen you around the palace before. Are you new here?" Augustus continued.

"Oh right, uh I'm sort of.. Prince Nathaniel's concubine" the young master replied.

"Oh? Nathaniel has found a marriage partner?" the prince asked.

'More like forced my hand in marriage' Archer scoffed in his mind.

"Archer? Where art thou?" the distant voice of Prince Nathaniel could be heard in the halls. "Great, this day just couldn't get any better" the young master murmured.

Nathaniel took a turn into the hall where Prince Augustus and Archer reside. His face turned serious as he saw his old rival talking to his future marriage partner. He fixed his posture, kept his chin up and headed towards their direction. "Archer, Augustus" he said as he reached and stood near Archer.

"Nathaniel" Augustus said. "Well it was lovely meeting you, Archer"

"The feeling's mutual" Archer said with a sincere smile on his face. Augustus reached for the young master's hand and kissed it softly to then stand up and walk beside Nathaniel, bumping into the prince of Lendorr with a smirk. Nathaniel was infused in rage while Archer was mesmerized by how elegantly Augustus walked.

"You are forbidden from ever conversing with that pig" Nathaniel orderly said.

"Excuse me, but who do you think you are to reprimand me of whom I can or cannot speak to?" Archer asked, completely baffled by what his future husband said.

"That is an order, Archer. You will be joining the Hawthorne family, not the Gother family" the prince replied as he walked away, every step he took seemed raged.

'Who does he think he is?! How dare he order me around!' with a scoff, Archer walked the opposite direction to Nathaniel.

Don't you think this "marriage" will fall apart even before they are officiated? Well we should have hope, even when there's no hope due.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just when things couldn't get any better, the Gother family had planned a dinner with the Hawthorne family that same evening. One thing about the Gother family is that they will never let an opportunity to dine with the Hawthorne family pass. King Jordon Gother and Queen Angelique weren't always.. "close" if you will.

You see, three days after the burial of King Alexander, King Jordon asked for Queen Angelique's hand in marriage. Now the problem was that 59 year old Jordon was already married to 4 other women. He was the first polygamist king of Speldian. The 4 women he married, namely Mariana, Rachel, Josephine, and Hillary, conceived a child each. Mariana conceived Princess Emory Gother, the first born. Rachel conceived Prince Augustus Gother, Josephine conceived Princess Laura Gother and Hillary conceived Prince Alaric Gother, the last born. God that was a mouthful.
