Prince Harry happily roams around the castle the next day. He greets everyone with a cheerful hello and even offers to help Margret in the kitchen.

"What has gotten you in such a good mood?" Margret asks. She is an elderly lady, but she makes the best pastries in the whole kingdom.

"Can I not just be happy?" Harry questions back. He is smiling like an idiot and Margret can not help but smile back.

"I guess you can. Now either help or get off the counter, sir," she tells him. Harry hops off the counter and stands next to her - examining the cookies she is making.

He grabs one and Margret turns to him - about to scold him - when her daughter runs in.

"Mother! The new family has arrived," she cheers and Harry drops his cookie.

"They have?" he asks. Elizabeth - Margret's daughter - bows when she notices Harry.

"I am sorry, sir, I did not see you there," she apologizes quickly. Harry rolls his eyes.

"Elizabeth, you do not have to bow. Is the family here now?" he asks and she turns to him and nods, then turns back to her mother.

"There is a boy there, mother. He is about my age and he is beautiful. He is more beautiful than the flowers in the garden, the sun when it sets -"

"Do not go near him. He is mine," Harry interrupts her jealously. He does not like that she thinks he is beautiful - even though he is - he is so beautiful.

"Yours? He needs a fine woman like me. Plus, you need to find yourself a princess, Prince Harry," Elizabeth tells him. Harry frowns and looks between the two ladies. Margret is watching Harry sadly - she knows he does not love woman - and Elizabeth is smirking triumphantly.

"He is mine," Harry continues childishly. Elizabeth is about to object and Harry raises his hand - silencing her.

"Are you arguing with the prince?" he questions. Elizabeth shuts her mouth and now Harry smirks triumphantly.

"I shall see you two soon. I have a family to greet," he dismisses himself. Elizabeth pouts, but does not mutter a word.

Harry walks through the castle hastily, trying to find the family. He finds them up the stairs - in an empty room.

"You will work here, Mrs. Tomlinson. Your children shall go to school out back and you will sleep in the servants chamber," Harry's mother informs her. He sees Louis and all his little sisters watching the queen in awe.

"Hello, mother," Harry speaks. The Tomlinson's turn and all bow before him. He gives them a tight smile - he really hates when people bow - and turns back to his mother.

"What about the eldest son? He looks too old for school," Harry points out. Louis looks over at him and Harry gives him a friendly smile. His eyes are such a clear blue today and Harry has to agree with Elizabeth about his beauty.

"Oh yes. He can work around the castle," his mother dismisses easily. Harry frowns, not liking that idea.

"He could also work for me. I need someone to organize my books and feed my horse," Harry tells his mother. The room falls quiet and the queen thinks about her sons offer.

"You will have to train him. You can start today. Where is Elizabeth?" his mother asks. Someone runs down the stairs to fetch her and Harry walks over to Louis.

"Hello, Louis," Harry greets him warmly. Louis looks nervous under his gaze, but manages a small smile.

"Hello, Prince Harry," he greets. Harry wants to tell him to just call him 'Harry'. He will when he leaves his mothers watchful eye.
