The Royal Wedding

Chapter 2

"Niklaus, what could be the meaning behind it?" Caroline thought to herself, In a moment of earnestness she looked up to her window, and realized she should be sleeping. But, she seriously could not get that name out of her head, she spent most of the time in bed thinking what he would look like, would he be her right match?, his religious belief's are different; what about his other believes and preferences. She was giving herself a headache by thinking so much, so she decided to rest.

"There is nothing you can do about it" she recalled her mom stating, soon enough her cheeks were wet with her tears and she closed her eyes.

Elena sneaked up to Caroline's room to find her sleeping! " OH DEAR LORD, SHE IS NOT SERIOUS" she thought to herself, meanwhile shaking Caroline to wake her up.

"What is it"? Shouted Caroline in anger, not wanting to have to wake up and face the harsh reality that was about to come her way.

"Its 1 in the afternoon, and your still in bed, need I have to remind you the king is on his way. And here you are still in bed" Elena said with a annoyed expression

" Need I have to remind you I don't care about some king?" Caroline said a little harshly

" CAROLINE! This is matter of life and death for father and here you are acting like a foolish teenager. You know Mystic Falls future & safety depends on this, this is you're duty and this isn't a joke anymore. You will be married to him as soon as he says yes to you and that's all there is to this, and you owe it to us and our people" Elena said angry and frustrated, someone had to.

Caroline suddenly got up and sat down on her bed, she was so affected by Elena's words, and she didn't know what to say. But Elena was right, and she knew that but somewhere deep done she was hoping for a fairytale and she wasn't getting it anymore. After a few minutes of thinking, she got up and faced Elena who was now standing beside the window with her eyes closed and her hand touching her forehead.

"Elena, I'm sorry. I get it now, I have to do this for our people, and for father, mother and you; I owe it to you guys. What good am I, if I cannot help someone when the most need it; I will fulfill my duty as the princess of mystic falls" Caroline said to Elena with her head held high.

Caroline knew she had to marry him as soon as he said yes, and she must try her hardest to get him to say yes, it was time for her to stop fighting and start pretending; maybe she will eventually learn to cope with the situation even if she doesn't like him or his ways of life.

"Elena, I'm going to bathe, will you please get everything ready? I need to dress for a yes" Caroline said while walking to her restroom.

"Nik, the carriage is ready, it will takes us about 6 hours to get to Mystic Falls! But if you hurry we can get there faster" said Kol with an annoyance in his voice.

"Brother, I'm afraid I'm the one breaking the tie, but you are more eager to get there than I" said Klaus with a confused look yet smirking.

" Oh come on, Nik. I just want to see a new city for once. Since mother and father have left for England forever with Finn and Rebekah and have abounded us, all I see is you. And no offense but you cannot blame me for wanting to see some fresh faces" said Kol coldly.

"Fine, shall we?" said Klaus pointing towards the door, they both started to walk downstairs were the carriage was waiting for them. But before leaving the palace, Klaus turned and faced one of his dukes. " Take care of everything, I will be back as soon as I have reached a decision, you must take care of everything" Klaus commanded.

"Yes, M'lord" said the duke

"Good-bye, Ralph" said Klaus, getting for the courage, followed by Kol.

"Have a safe journey M'lord" Ralph said.

"Elena dear, will you please let Caroline know your father would like to see her" said the queen

" Yes, Mother" replied Elena quickly and left to inform Caroline and soon after Caroline was with her father, in the same room.

"You wished to see me father?" Caroline stood behind her father in his study.

"Yes, come her my child" he commended putting his right hand up to guide her to his side. Caroline slowly begins to approach her father and eventually stood by his side, while his hand hang on his shoulder.

" Caroline, I will not apologize for what's going to take place because we owe it to our people, but my bravest daughter I however want to ask you to gave the king a chance, he might not be as bad as you anticipate him due to different religious beliefs and him being a British lord, ruling New Orleans" asked Henry this time more as her father than the king.

" I will do everything in my control to get a yes, father. I promise." replied Caroline still looking down, and she soon begin to leave for her room. On her way to her bedroom she was lost deep in her thoughts. This is it, I must do this even if it does bring me any sort of happiness, and I will do this to the best of my ability for my family and my people. She soon realized she had reached her chambers.

" Elena, what are you doing here?" asked Caroline as soon she found Elena in her room.

"I've brought you're dress, rumors has it that the king will arrive sooner than later"- said Elena happily realizing that Caroline was ready now.

" Princess Elena, Princess Caroline, The King has arrived" called a person from behind Caroline's bedroom.

Caroline breathed heavy and looked at Elena who turned herself towards the door and said " we will be right there June" to the voice coming from behind the door.
