Forbidden Love

First Impressions

Princess Grace's POV~
My daddy was making me attend another royal meeting, and as always, I had to be on my best behavior. The only thing people ever expect of a princess are manners and a pretty face. I wish I could be more like the famer girls that harvest is the meadows, they're allowed to get messy and be themselves. If I ever told daddy the way I felt, he would be furious. Princesses aren't allowed to have opinions, all they need to do it sit around and look pretty. Hmph. I need a vacation away from royalty.

The meeting was fairly unpleasant. Our kingdom met with the neighboring kingdom to try and talk things out, but as soon as we walked it, King William and daddy started to bicker, and before we knew it, the entire room was filled with foul mouthed citizens complaining about one another. I decided I no longer wished to be apart of this 'meeting', and snuck out of the room. Once I left the room I shut the door quietly, then looked around. That's when I first saw him.. King Williams' son, Ashton. I didn't know what to say. I blushed and looked down to my feet.

Prince Ashton's POV~
I had to get out of that room.. The yelling was giving me an awful headache.. That's when I first saw her.. She was the prettiest girl I've ever seen.. Far more beautiful then the tramp father expected me to marry.. I went to say something, but she stole the words from my mouth. "Are you here to escape the rambling inside there?" She points to the room. I nod, chuckling. "Way to 'talk things out' I follow up, making her giggle. I bowed down and kissed her hand. "Prince Ashton of Quarsdivile," I say, "And you are?" She goes quiet for a moment, then says, "Princess Grace of Rensdagon.."

I turn red. "You're from.. Rensdagon..?" I stutter. She nods, twiddling her thumbs. She mummbles something along the lines of "Sorry" and "Goodbye". I feel my heart rip to shreds, whilst still emitting a burning passion. I knew she was the one for me.. It was love at first sight.. But why did she have to be from Rensdagon?

Princess Grace's POV~
I needed to get as far away from Prince Ashton as I could. If anyone saw me with him..if daddy saw me with him.. Oh dear.. I don't even want to imagine the consequences.. He was the most handsome prince I've seen in all my life.. and although it pains me to admit it, for some odd reason my heart yearns for him.. Maybe the charm in his voice, or the way his slick blonde hair swept across his eyes.. I knew he was the one for me.. But why did he have to be from Quarsdivile..?
