" Macy," my mother said. "Remember what we talked about?"

"Yes," I sighed.

The Wayne family were coming to Knighton for a visit while Nicholas Wayne is, apparently coming over to stay in Knighton until I find a husband. Justin and the Nexo Knights were standing in line beside me, ready to greet the guests.

"Nervous, Mace?" Aaron asked me.

"Very," I said, playing with the cuffs of my gloves.

"Don't worry, your highness," Justin gave me a reassuring smile, "I'll be here for you every step of the way."

"Thank you, Justin," I smiled at him. He was a really great guy, and I was lucky to have him by my side as my assistant.

"His grace, Duke Bruce Wayne and her grace Duchess Ariana Wayne and their children have arrived." The duke and duchess entered.

"We greet your majesties and your highness," Duke Bruce said as he bowed and Duchess Ariana curtsied before us. He was wearing House Wayne's blue house uniform, and the duchess was wearing a blue dress, matching stilettos and a black cardigan and had floral hair pins placed in her hair.

"Yes, yes," my father said, ecstatic to meet them. "Welcome to Knighton. Duke, duchess, it has been a while, hasn't it?"

"Yes," Duke Bruce answered him with a smile, "indeed, it has, your majesty."

Duke Bruce Wayne was lean, muscular and had broad shoulders. He had slick black hair, light flawless skin and icy blue eyes. He owned WayneCorp, a large company with many subsidiaries. He mainly ran WayneTech, which was responsible for the development and innovation of highly advanced technology. From what I knew of him, he was a great man who looked after his people well, a caring husband, and a loving father to his children.

"Duchess, how are you?" my mother asked. "surely it hasn't been long since the birth of your daughter."

"I am fine, your majesty," Duchess Ariana smiled brightly, "thank you for asking."

Duchess Ariana was the epitome of elegance and beauty. She had bright brown eyes, long wavy and majestic golden brown hair which flowed down her shoulders and ended at her waist level, and flawless sun-kissed skin which complimented her petite figure. On top of all of that, she was a good few centimetres shorter than the her husband the duke.

"It's my pleasure to welcome you to Knighton," I said with a smile.

"It's an honour to be welcomed by your majesties and your highness," the duke said with a chuckle. "You have grown a lot over the years, haven't you, Princess Macy?" I chuckled and nodded.

"Your mother was right. You're so cute, your highness!" Duchess Ariana giggled, making me blush in embarrassment. Me, cute? What's more mesmerising is her laugh...

"We apologise, your majesties," Duke Bruce said, "Jason, Timothy and Cassandra had some urgent matters to attend to last minute, and as for Richard," he and Duchess Ariana glanced at each other and chuckled, "he came along with us with Damian and Estelle, our youngest two, but volunteered himself to look after them while we greet you with our twins." Twins, he said...
