Long Live

Princess Adele walked into her parents grand office. They had called in her for an important meeting about her future as the queen.

She was only twenty years old and already had most of the country's responsibility on her shoulders. Her parents trusted her to solve the issues since they were planning on giving her the throne soon.

All the girls envied her olive skin, dark blue eyes, gorgeous wavy blonde hair, her petite figure, but most of all her genuine personality. No matter the situation she was real and got to the point.

Her passion for the country was the military. She adored the brave men who risked their lives to keep her and the citizens safe. Once a month she would visit a base and get to know the soldiers. She would always leave with a smile on her face.

"Dad, mom. You called me?" she quietly said as she entered their office.

"Come in Adele"

She entered and sat down in one of the plush seats fit for royalty. Her mom sat on the edge of the desk with some papers in her hands. She sat the papers on Adele's lap.

With a curious voice she spoke up, "What is this?"

"Adele, this is your grandfathers will" Her dad announced motioning to the stack. She flipped through the pages trying to find the answer of what her parents were getting at. "Turn to page fourteen"

She did as she was instructed and began scanning the writing. "Section fourteen" she read aloud, "Grandchildren, Adele and Taylor Nelson. Granddaughter and grandson of Dave Nelson. Adele, if she is married by the age of twenty one, will inherit the throne of her parents when the time is sufficient" she stopped reading to look up at her parents.

"He wants you married before you take over the throne" her mom said with excitement in her face.

"Married! This can't be right!"

"I'm afraid it is, if you choose not to wed the throne will be given to your brother"

She shook her head at the thought. Her brother was very dear to her but he was reckless. He used his popularity for girls, parties, and getting away with mostly everything. He cared nothing for the country like Adele did.

Adele was kind, compassionate, and loving to everyone. It was her life long goal to keep peace in the country. She wanted everyone to be happy and content. Unlike Adele, Taylor wasn't as matured in his thinking.

"Adele, we need you to find a nice man to marry. He doesn't have to be in our social ranking but you must fall in love with him since your grandfather was traditional he expects this marriage to last a lifetime"

She sighed, "Father, how am I supposed to do that?"

"I'm not sure, we'll think of something"

They sat in silence trying to brainstorm ideas. Nothing was being brought up. She got up and began pacing the room. Her heart was racing, the thought of having to be married in a year scared her to death.

She was not ready for marriage, her plan was to stay single until her late twenties. She had far to many things to focus on and now finding a husband was put on her plate. Why did her grandfather want her married at such an early age?

"I've got it!" her mom exclaimed jolting Adele out of her thoughts. She stopped and looked at her mom before preceding to explain, "What if we sent her on the show the bachelorette? Everyone would eat that up"

"Mother, you can't be serious. I know nothing about dating, especially a ton of guys at once"

"Oh you'll love it! What do you say Frank?"

Her father focused on Adele, "Got any other ideas princess?"

She shook her head, that seemed like the only logical solution for finding a husband. "Then I will call my publicist, you are going on the bachelorette Adele"
