Hard to Get

One

"Princess Maya Penelope Hart of England"

I looked at my mother

"Maya Hart She's gonna be my wife are you insane she'll poison me in my sleep!"

I ranted

Of course my mother wanted me to suffer a terrible and awful life

"I'm sorry young lad but if we wanna have an alliance with Europe's Most Powerful Country I'm afraid you must do so"

My mother

Always trying to reason with me

"So after I marry princess Maya I'll be king of France"

My mother nodded

"Your father was a good King Lucas it's sad that he died of a bad sickness I know your only 17 but this is your duty"

I sighed knowing my mother was right

Well she always is

"Ok mother I'll be off to my chambers now"

I sighed

If your wondering why Princess Maya hates my guts so much well

Mostly my mothers

It's a simple story

Apparently me and Maya were gonna marry for some time now

3 years

And 3 years ago from what I heard Maya had a love

His name was Joshua Matthews of France

He was a squire here in this castle

He and Maya were madly in love and were planning to take Maya away from England and running away

Maya was only 14 and he was 17 but she was young and in love 

Well my mother heard of the plans and quickly told Mayas mother

And for that the Knights of France Beheaded Joshua

And she had hated my family ever since

So now they are demanding that I marry her

When I'm most likely gonna lose my head as well

What a wonderful day for the future king and future Husband of Maya

yay.

From what I'm told Maya does not know yet

Oh boy

"Prince Lucas Daniel Friar of France"

I spit out my wine

"Mother your joking"

She sighed

"I'm afraid not my dear he is your betrothed and has been for 3 years I'm sorry for what happen to Josh but Maya You have to get over it Holding a grudge is never good"
