A Royal Love: William

Chapter six

I walk to the throne room with Matt to find our parents. But when we entered the room we saw them on their thrones with a bunch of bodyguards. We walked closer to see what was going on. "William, you're finally here. We were waiting for you." Father said and stood up. I walked closer with Matt behind me. "Luna" I walked to her. "Are you alright?" She looked at me. "The royal guards dragged me to the castle and I was lied to right in my face. Do you really have to ask if I'm alright!?" "Luna, I'm-" "Can I go home now?" She asks my father. "No, you will stay here." I look at him. "Why?" Father looks at Luna. "My son has chosen you to be his wife. That is why you are here." "I did not ask her to be my wife, father." "And I didn't accept." Father looks at me. "You kissed her, that is when you asked her." He then looks at Luna. "And you kissed him back, that is when you accepted his request."

Matt walks to us and stops next to me. "If that is how an engagement works, then there would be a lot of them without the marriage..." "Matthew! You have nothing to do with this, go to your bedroom" Mother yells at him. "Really? My bedroom? I am not a little child, mother." "Matthew. Bedroom. Now." Father says angrily to him. "Alright, I will go." He says to them, then looks at me. "Good luck, big brother." I smile at him and watch him get out of the room.

I look back at father and mother. "So, what now? Where will she stay? And how long?" Father looks at Luna. "You will live here with us for as long as I say so. You will live here as our guest and shall be treated as one. And you will spend a lot of time with William." "What? But what about my studies? What about my parents? My life?" "We will take care of that. We will see you tomorrow morning. Get some sleep." With that said father left with mother and the body guards.

"My life is over." "I'm sorry." She looks at me. "You really didn't know about this, did you?" "No, if I knew about this..." "Then we wouldn't be in this mess, I know." "I'm sorry, if there was anything I could do..." "I know, Will, I know." We were silent for a while until she spook again. "Is he always that mean?" I look away from her. "My father? Yeah, that's just the way he is." "He was really mean to your brother too." "Yeah, always." "Will?" I look back at her "Yes?" "Why didn't you just tell me?" "I didn't want you to treat me differently because I'm the crown prince. I wanted you to like me because of me, without the crown." "And I do, but I can't just forget that you lied to me like that." "I know, I understand it."

"Miss?" We both look at the door, there was a servant. "Uh, yes?" Luna said confused to him. "You need to follow me." "Uh, yeah, sure." She said and walked to him. The servant looked at me. "My prince, your father told me to tell you that you need to go to bed." "I'll go right now." Servant walked out of the room. "Goodnight, Will" Luna said before following the servant. "Goodnight." I answered and walked out of the room to my bedroom.

I was eating my breakfast peacefully when Matt sat down on his seat. "Good morning." I say to him. He smiles at the servant who brings him his breakfast and starts eating. "So how did it go yesterday?" "Better than I expected actually." "Really? That's amazing!" He says while eating. "How can a prince in a castle eat like a pig in a barn?" I ask him. "Hey! I'm just hungry!" "Good morning" I hear behind me. "Luna, good morning." I smile at her. She sits down in on the chair next to me. "Hello." I hear Matt say to her. "Do I order my breakfast or-?" "No, they bring it to you." "But how do they know what I like and don't like?" "Don't know, don't care." Matt answers. "Matthew! Behave how you should behave, like a prince!" Mother tells him when she enters the room with father. They take their seat each on an end of the table. Matt looks up, but continues to eat afterwards. A servant brings Luna and my parents' breakfast. Luna smiles at the servant. "Thank you."

"What are we going to do today?" Matt askes father. "You have nothing to do today." Matt smiles. "Really?" "Yes, so you can use your free time to study some history." Matt stops with smiling. "History?" "Yes and I will send a guard to make sure that you study." "Of course you will." Father then looks at me. "You are meeting some citizens who won a contest." He looks at Luna. "And you are meeting them to, it is a good way for you to learn how you need to behave in front of citizens." "And after that you two have the rest of the day free." Mother tells us. "They get a day free and I need to study?" "They need to spend a lot of time together and William knows the history of this country, you do not." Father says angrily to Matt. I look at Father. "What are you and mother going to do today?" "Your mother and I are going on a business trip." "A business trip? To where? How long?" "That does not matter. Eat your breakfast."

After eating our breakfast and getting dressed in to my royal clothing I was in one of our sitting room waiting for Luna. Father and mother already left, they told us that they don't know how long they will be away. "Wow, who is that handsome man?" "Matt, come on. Isn't it bad enough that I'm dressed in these clothes and meeting Luna's friends who I already met, but they didn't know who I was?" I say while turning around to look at him. "You have to think positive about this." "I don't see anything positive in this." "Well, I do. That's why I'm the optimist and you're the pessimist." He says smiling. "I don't understand how you can be an optimist, when your always the one who our parents-" "Don't like? Can't stand? Be ashamed of? Don't want as their son?" "They don't-" "Don't lie to me, Will, you know just like me that whatever I do, won't ever be good enough for them."

"How do I look?" We both look to the doors and see Luna. She's wearing a long dark blue dress. She has her hair curled and is wearing a tiara. "Wow, you look like a-" I begin. "A real princess." Matt finishes. She smiles. "Really?" Matt walked to her. "Yes, you are beautiful. I can see why my brother likes you." "Thank you, Matthew." "Oh no, call me Matt. Matthew is what my parents call me and they hate me." "Matt, they don't-" "They do Will." Matt says angrily to me. Then suddenly he smiles again. "Well, I'll leave you two alone. History is waiting for me." Matt says before walking out of the room.

"Poor Matt, he doesn't feel loved." I look her. "Yeah, he always felt like he wasn't good enough." Luna sat down in a sofa chair. "Will?" I sit down in the sofa chair next to her. "Yes?" "Am I good enough for you?" "Of course you are, your perfect." "But will I be a good queen? Will your father approve?" "You will and he will approve." "How do you know?" "Because you're beautiful on the outside but also on the inside. And I want you to be my queen, nobody else." She smiles to me. "You will be a great king one day." We both lean in and share our second kiss.
