London, England

"So?" Tara asked, walking to greet the pair as they rode back through the castle gates. "It was good" Paige said, climbing off her horse. "Are you two any closer?" Tara asked. "I'd say we're pretty close" James said, looking at Paige. "Oh my god you kissed!" Tara said excitedly. The pair quickly shushed her.

"Hush" Paige said. "Sorry" Tara said, "but did you?" "Yes, we kissed" James said. "James" Paige said. "What? She was bound to find out" James said. "Is he trying to call me nosey?" Tara asked. "I'm off to town to run a couple of errands but I will be back before sundown" James said, placing a kiss on Paige's cheek. He got back on his horse and rode off. "I have something for you" Tara said.

"What?" Paige asked. "Come, come" Tara said, taking Paige's hand and walked into the castle. The speed walked to Tara's room, avoiding any parents. "So, what is this grand thing you have for me?" Paige asked, sitting down on Tara's bed. "What do you think?" Tara asked, spinning around with a red dress in her hands. "Tara, it's beautiful" Paige said, feeling the dress.

"Go on, try it on" Tara said, as a smile appeared on her face. "Okay, okay Jesus" Paige said, taking the dress behind the divider as Tara sits on the bed. Paige changes dresses and walks out with the red on. "Holy shit" Tara said. "How is it?" Paige asked. "It's beautiful" Tara said. "Indeed it is" a voice said from behind Paige. She turned to see James had returned.

"Back so soon?" Paige asked. "Not miss me?" James asked with a smirk, "Your father has requested you both down in the great hall." "Give me like five minutes" Paige said. "What's wrong with the dress you have on?" Tara asked. "I meant I might save it for something special" Paige said. "For Christ sake just wear the dress down, come on" Tara said, taking Paige's arm.

The three of them walked to the hall and was greeted by their parents. "Paige, may I introduce to you, Sir Sirius and Apollo Canavan, Dukes of Wales" James's father said. The boys walked to approach them and Sirius kissed Paige's hand. "Your royal highness" he said. "And lady Elliot Canavan of Wales" James's father said. "We told you we'd get here father" Apollo said. "James" Elliot said, hugging James.

"Did Robb say he was coming?" Paige asked, looking at her father. "He's right here" Robb said, entering the castle. Paige went running to hug her brother and he received her in his arms. "Wow Paige, Jesus, a little tight" Robb said, holding her tight. He put her down and they walked back to their parents. "James, someone is here for you, he calls himself Atlas Chesner" a guard said. "He came with us to help you" Sirius said.

"Send him in" James said. The guards let him in and a tall, muscular man walked into the castle. "Atlas" James said, walking over to greet him. "James, you didn't possibly think you'd get rid of me that easy" Atlas joked. Everyone got acquainted and the group walked to the hall where dinner was being served. "Holy fuck" Apollo said, admiring the hall.
