Lost Princess

One

Anastasia arrived in France after receiving a letter from her queen that they were going to France because she needs to marry Francis, the next king. Problem is, Mary told the blonde that he has a brother that she fell in love with. Philip. The blonde was different from the others. She was quiet and liked to stay away from gossip, that's why the girls love her so much. She was nothing like them.

When Francis walked over to introduce himself to the woman he is supposed to marry, he saw a beautiful blonde that had his heart skipping a beat. Philip saw Mary and smiled causing her to smile back as she wanted Philip. "Ana?" She looked at her friend, Aylee. "Do you think we will find our happiness here? I would love to go back home to my family."

"I will try to help you find a way back home." She promises as they followed Mary. "You don't need to be here."

Aylee smiled as she knew that she can trust Anastasia. The blonde looked ahead to see Francis looking at her causing her to smile a little bit. The looks didn't past Queen Catherine. "The little blonde, what would his future be with her?"

Looking into the future, he saw what the queen was hoping for. "She's a very special girl. A royal family has been searching for and once the truth comes out, you'll be excited, but for now, she will be the one to save Francis as Philip will be the one with Mary. He will leave her side to be with Anastasia. She will become pregnant before they get married."

Catherine smirked as she had plans to make. For Francis and for this Anastasia. Why does her name sound familiar?
~~~
Anastasia sat as a man was asking questions and telling them who they will be around that night. "Anastasia?" She looked at him. "You will be with his majesty."

"Who?" Anastasia asked. "There's two."

"Francis. His mother had asked for you to accompany him today so he can be ready for his marriage to the queen. Then later you are to be with Queen Catherine to help for the ceremony."

Francis looked at the beautiful blonde who nodded. The way she acted, she acted royalty. Francis watched her walk over to him and bow. "I'm Anastasia."

"Francis. You don't have to bow..."

"You are the future king and I'm just Mary's lady." She tells him. "Let's help you prepare for your marriage."

Francis hated the word marriage. He didn't want to marry Mary. Yet, for some reason this blonde that was walking beside him captured his attention. Keena saw the way he looked at her as did Lola. "We'll be seeing them together a lot."

"Oh yeah." Lola says. "I wonder if he'll help her find out who her parents are."

The rest of the ladies knew they needed to help their friend. Meaning they will tell Catherine.

"So, where are you from, Anastasia?'

"I don't really know." She says as she messed with her necklace when she gets nervous talking about her past. "I don't remember anything to be honest, besides this necklace of course."

"Do you know who gave it to you?"

"Francis, I think you are digging in a little bit there." She tells him with a laugh. "All I know someone gave this to me, but I can't think of who the person that gave it to me." The blonde sighed. "I was adopted to the parents that raised me up to the day they died."

"If you want me too, I can look for them."

The blonde looked at him. "Francis, you are soon to be king and Mary's betroth. She wouldn't like that you are doing this for a lady that isn't royal..."

"The last time she came here, she was with my brother. Mary and Philip should be together not me and her. I see how they are with one another." Anastasia looked at him. "I never slept around like he has because he couldn't keep Mary off his mind, but you, I would like to know you better."

Biting her lip, Anastasia didn't know what to say as he was the soon to be king as she was just a commoner. "I guess."

"You won't regret it."

Anastasia saw a little girl crying causing her to walk over to her and look at her knee. Francis saw the kindness the blonde has and something was telling him she was more than what she think she is. "Bash." He said as his brother was walking by.

"Yeah."

"Search for information on Anastasia for me." He says. "I want to help her."

"You already have feelings for a woman you don't know anything about." Bash says smiling. "What about Mary?"

"Philip can have her." He tells him as he pointed towards them. "They want each other."

"End the engagement."

Francis looked at Anastasia as she danced with the little girl before walking over to Mary to end the engagement.
~~~
That night, Mary walked over to her. "Francis ended our engagement."

"Why?" She asked.

"I don't know. Did he say anything to you?"

The blonde was thinking. 'He said that he didn't see anything between you two because of Philip. The two of you were always with each other. After that, I was helping a little girl and cheering her up. I haven't heard anything else because he just disappeared."

Mary sighed. "Thank you because I was planning on ending it anyways. Philip promised me things, but I'm still looking." She says. "Enjoy yourself and I will have people help find out who your parents are." Taking her hand in hers, Mary smiled. "You will always be my best friend, Ana."

Watching her walk away, the blonde sighed as she saw Francis looking at her. Catherine saw him walking over to dance with the blonde and smiled. "He ended the engagement for her?'

"I think she's royal." She tells him. "I believe she's the lost princess of Rome."
