Royals Reign

Part 4- Drunken Nightmare

for that person who commented on the last chapter and made my day a little bit

I missed my mother terribly that evening, as I lay still in an unfamiliar bed that held no memories and a braid that clutched my hair so tight that my eyebrows were resting in a different part of my face. No words had been exchanged with my future husband, was I not attractive? Was he spoken for? Doubts overtook my mind and sleep never came, I wasn't insecure, I was powerful and he would have been lucky to have me. So why is it that I felt so useless, would I be in an unhappy marriage for the rest of my life? I crave love, and I would rather leave than be anybodies second choice, I owe myself more than that.

A gentle knock echoed through my candle lit suite, I wasn't aware of the time, yet it was far too late for a visitors presence. I picked up the candle that was surrounded by a pool of melted wax, and unlocked the wooden doors. There he stood. Golden curls that fell upon his shoulders and a face that held no expression. He couldn't see me like this, I was in a simple nightgown that was undoubtedly inappropriate for a man who I wasn't married to, to be able to lay his eyes on. Yet, I wanted to know him, and it seemed like that was my only chance, considering his ignorance at the party. Maybe, just maybe, he was here because he wanted a happy marriage with me also?

"What are you doing here?" I whispered, still embarrassed of my current state, "Mary, Mary" he slurred in a songlike manner, clearly drunk. "I just came to see you, ar-are youuuuu busy Mary?" Was it wrong that it warmed my heart that I was in his drunken thoughts? Possibly. "Not anymore I suppose" I murmured in an attempt to coax more words out of his pretty mouth, instead he reached out his hand and walked in the opposite direction, pulling me behind him.

Still completely in shock from what was going on I just followed, unaware of my destination. Until he stopped and I collided with the surface of his back. He spun around and held my shoulders in his grasp. I looked into his golden toned eyes, that weren't quite as special as his brothers and waited. Waited for him to speak, but he just stared back.

"I want to show you something"

This time he didn't hold my hand, I just knew I wanted to find out, so I willingly traced his steps.
