Arabella never thought that her life would change so much in the span of a year. She thought she would marry the love of her life, Reed Hunter & have children and grow old and die. But as life would have it, that wouldn't happen. Instead at the age...
I agreed to be his ally, but I wanted to sign paperwork. I needed to establish rules for this treaty. I needed that sense of security. Jasper will be leaving with Adrien today. We will sign the alliance papers the day of my coronation. He will have his coronation in 3 weeks time, while mine is only days away. I will be crowned king and I will marry my dearly beloved Venice. We will marry the day of the coronation. When my father will turn his crown to me and the Elder Marcus will crown me in front of my people and my court. He will also crown Venice as the new Queen. He crowned my father, and he crowned me Prince 10 years ago, I was only 15 at the time. He also crowned Jasper Prince. But since I was my fathers first born son I rightfully will inherit the title of King. I am the Crown Prince.
I am afraid of how Venice will react when I tell her that we have to give up our first born daughter to Adrien's son Dimitri, I believe Dimitri is 3 or 4 years old. Adrien has already married, and has his heir. I told my father and he agrees that this alliance is necessary. He says he is proud of the sacrifice his future granddaughter will do. My father always says "TheKingdomAboveAll". I can't be selfish, we need this alliance for the good of my people. I walked over to Venice's room and knocked. She opened the door and smiled. "Venice ... My love we need to talk" her smile faded. "Come in" she said. Hereitgoes ...

Nicholas had a worried and sad expression when he knocked in my door. He walked over to the balcony. I walked up to him and I hugged him. "What is troubling you Nick?" I asked. I rested my chin in his shoulder and held on to him tighter. "There's something I have to tell you ... Something you won't like ... " he murmured. He turned around so he could face me and he seemed very nervous. He hands were shaking and his breath was hitched. "Out with it Nick your scaring me" I whispered. "I made an alliance with the kingdom of Volterra. To ensure our alliance I betrothed our first born daughter to Adrien's son Dimitri" I said. I was shocked and then I felt the pain. "YOU DID WHAT?" I yelled and pulled away from him "I had to ... The kingdom-" I cut him off. "Above All ..." I whispered. He looked up at me, I was in the verge of tears. I can feel it, "Why Nick? Did your father put you up to this? Tell me!" I screamed. "No. My father didn't put me up to this. I'm doing this for my people. Our people. Can't you see Venice! I can't be selfish and put my needs before my people's. A good king puts his kingdom first" he said. We were both breathing heavy. "I'm sorry Nick. I know you have a duty to your people, but you also have a duty to your family. And what happens if I can't give you a daughter? Have you thought about that?" I said. "No. I haven't. But I'm positive we will come up with a solution. I love you Venice" he said. Then I started crying because I know he does. "Im soon going to be your wife. So I have to do this. It is my duty to our people, and to you. It doesn't mean that I'm ok with it, but it seems I have no choice. I live you Nicholas George Millano. I always have" I cried. ____________________________________ A/N: HERE'SAUPDATEBECAUSESOMEONECOMMENTEDISHOULDUPDATEMORE. LOVEYOUGUYS :)
