The Royal Wedding

I've never had to really yawn for anything in life, I was always simply given what I asked for, but I almost never asked. I was grateful for what I had but marriage? That's one thing I would want to do with a lot of thinking and my own likes.

I guess father can do anything to save his kingdom, even if that means marrying my off to a guy who isn't even from the same religion as ours, oh bloody hell. These kings would do anything to save their kingdoms, even if it means killing someone off. Caroline shrugged think about what she just had said in her mind, and wondered what her father would think of that; but she was immediately shaken by her mother's voice.

"Caroline dear, may I come in?" She said standing behind the almost closed door

"Yes Mother, you may come in" Caroline shouted, her mother walked right up to her and set beside her in her beautiful round bed, which was made especially for the younger princess of mystic falls.

"What is it mother?" Asked Caroline with a little sadden smile, looking her mom in the eye.

"A letter from New Orleans had arrived today". She paused; Caroline give her mother a look, her mother ignored her expression completely and began to finish what she had came to say. " Your father is inviting the king to pay mystic falls a visit" At that point Caroline had heard enough, how could he?" Caroline shouted, getting up from her bed with her hands hanging in the air to show her frustration, without realizing.

" Lower, my dear! You're father will not hear a word" her mother said with a look, that Cleary stated there is nothing you can do about it. Tears begun to fall down on Caroline's beautifully shaped pink cheeks, she was in a state of shock, she sat down beside her mom on her bed, and without another word cuddled her waist and buried her wet face in her moms lap.

" Has you're mother, let Caroline know about the king visiting?" asked the King

" Yes father, I believe she has been informed by now "said the older Forbes politely with her eyes kneeled to the ground. It was a sign of respect not to look your elders in the eye, specially ones that were royalty perhaps, but the older Forbes girl has always been the polite and mannered one, Caroline on the other hand was more of a wild and outspoken kind of girl. Sometimes the king would wonder about how his two daughters were total opposites, yet get along so well? But the queen had always told him that opposites tained to complete each other in ways mutual's couldn't.

Elena was now wondering, how the conversation was going between her mother and her sweet Caroline. The thought of Caroline getting married and leaving her all alone was freighting at times, but Elena understood with saving the kingdom meant to their father. He had a duty to fulfill to his people as their king, and he must do it at any cost.

" My brave daughter, you must give the king a chance at least, you haven't even met him. How can you decide that you don't want to marry him?" her mother was a little confused by Caroline's reaction.

" But mother I always thought of marrying a Christian, how could father just make me marry a Roman Catholic? Caroline screamed.

" Would you lower your voice girl, you're going to get us in trouble."Her mother got up and walked a little further from the bed, then turned to face Caroline who was sitting still. " When I married your father, I never thought I would ever be able to love him but then you and Elena came along, and now I wouldn't dare think so" her mother explained to Caroline.

" Mother, are you saying that I might just fall in love with the king after I have his kids?" asked Caroline confused and unhappy by her mothers comment.
