Will I Fall In Love?

Chapter 3

I met Eadlyn at the office. She was working on some papers. Taking the role of queen was hard on Eadlyn. But, somehow she managed it. She had to know something about Mom and Dad's Selection.
"Eadlyn," I started.
"Yes Osten," she replied, not looking up from her work.
"Do you know anything about Mom and Dad's Selection?" I asked nervously.

She nodded, " Mom told me you would probably ask. I don't know all of it. I do know about you not wanting to do the Selection. To be honest, I didn't want to do a Selection when it was my age."

My mouth dropped. I had thought that Eadlyn wanted to do a Selection. Most girls dream of falling in love and meeting their Prince Charming. Though most girls don't want to be a ruler of country at the age of 18. At least, that what she had said on the Report. Well, the Schreaves tended to lie on the Report a lot. The country wanted to know what was going on but if we told them everything they wouldn't trust us anymore.

"How come? I thought you wanted to do a Selection," I stated.

"Osten," she snorted, "Do I look I wanted to have a Selection? Truth is that people starting an uprising. The country needed a distraction. I need to get married to produce heirs. The Selection solved both our problems. I had no choice but to agree. The people hated me. Remember the parade?"

I laughed. Eadlyn had gotten food thrown at her during her Selection. Boy, was she mad?

"Hey! Not funny!" She yelled.

I fell over laughing. Then Eikko popped into the room.

"What happened, my love? Are you okay, Osten?" He asked, concerned.

I just kept laughing. Eadlyn kicked as she explained to Eikko why I was laughing. Then I heard Eikko snort. I peeked over, seeing his lips pressed together, trying to hold in his laughter. Then we were both on the ground, laughing while Eadlyn stared at us angrily.

"Out! Both of you! I have work to do," she yelled.

Eikko and I went out of the room before Eadlyn called the guards on us.

"See you later Eikko," I said walking away.

"Yes. I have to make it up to Eadlyn. She is going to be furious!" He responded.

I laughed and walked away.
