Today my father requested to see me , he said that he had friends coming over so since he's the king of lesotho he told me to dress formally
After I got dressed , I looked at my self in the mirror in awe of myself. The way the Snow White dress completely contrasted from my dark brown skin was perfection and the way my tiara sat in my fro made me blush

I made my way to the dining room where my dad told me to meet him but when I got there he wasn't here , just a table full of all the national foods and some people setting the large table
"Hey do you know what's going on?" I asked the servers coming in and out the kitchen
"The prince's of Denmark is making a visit" she replied back to me and scurried away before I can ask anything else. I wonder what kind of business my dad has with prince's from Denmark
I was wondering what could it be when I hear the door open I turn to see my father with a white elderly man . I quickly bowed to them before looking up and seeing a tall boy trailing behind them .I froze and so did he
"This is my daughter Y/n , Lesotho's very own princess" my father said introducing me to the men
"Very nice to meet you , I'm prince Joachim and this is my son Nikolai" He said kissing my hand Nikolai just shook it
"Come on , we have many things to discuss" my father said sitting down in his seat , I sit in mine and Nikolai sits in front of me
We started eating , I explained a couple of things before they tasted them and picked things they liked
"So y/n what are your hobbies" Nikolai asked me the way his voice said my name made me visibly shiver
"Um I'm a violinist, but I love to paint and read" I answered him and he smirked at my excitement both of our fathers too envolved with their own conversation to hear ours
"That library in the west wing , that's yours isn't it?"
I nodded and asked him the same "do you have hobbies Nikolai"
He took a moment before answering me " I model , I also study at university" He said taking me by surprise, a prince at university must be a big deal. I looked away from him and watched the snow fall outside ,I felt Nikolai's gaze on me
"It's so beautiful" he said making me look at him , he was looking at me but said " I never knew it snowed in Africa"
" yeah it's not common knowledge and it rarely happens but most of South Africa gets snow" I replied to him
"You've ever been to Denmark?" He asked me , I frowned and shook my head
" I've never been outside of Africa, it's not safe for me I love geography tho" his shocked expression held many words but he said nothing else and neither did I
After dinner nikolai asked my father for a moment and I was sent out of the room . I was just gonna go back to my room but I felt like going outside
I put on my white moon boots and stepped outside
Nikolai's POV "So , what do you think of her ?" My father asked as she left the room This was the most important part of our trip to Lesotho, The whole purpose of this trip was to meet the princess
"She's beautiful" is all I could say at the thought of her . I've met many princess but not one like her , she was intelligent and effortlessly beautiful The way she acts all shy to the way my name slips off her tongue in a sexy foreign accent
" so we agree on it?" The king ask my father but I respectfully interrupt
"But she doesn't know, I can tell she has no clue" They look at each other before looking at me
" I'll let her know soon, don't worry" the king replied but that wasn't the plan
"I want this to be her decision , I don't want to force this on her" This part is important to me because I actually want her to like me but i know it's ultimately not any of our choices
" I would like to add a clause to the contract , your majesty" I said and he agreed to hear me out
"She said she's never been out of Africa, I want to travel with her and take her places she'll enjoy" her father face softened at the idea he agreed to it and brought out the contract
The contract, its a marriage contract and Ik that sound weird but I had to do this . The king has been searching for someone to marry y/n for a while . Her being the only child and a women she isn't eligible for the thrown so she would need to marry someone.
I on the other hand was looking for a wife because I'm required to marry before 30 but I didn't want to just marry a random danish girl . I wanted to meet someone I could learn something from ,someone who can challenge me and someone I would actually love. I wouldn't want to force someone into marriage, I would want to develop a relationship with the person I'll call my wife .
This contract will give us a year to get to know each other before we marry.if it's y/n I don't mind signing this contract but I'm worried about how she would feel especially since she still doesn't know why I'm here
" ok , I'll sign it" I said getting the pen and signing it next to the blank spot where her name goes , I hope I made the right decision
TBC A/n : while writing this I found out the Queen of Denmark just stripped Nikolai and his siblings from their royal titles So my bae is now Count Nikolai of Monpezat . He was 7th to the throne but now he has zero chance 🥲
