Marriage Of Spades

Marriage Of Spades-2

{The Next Morning}
It was chaos in the palace throughout the night and morning.Alfred woke up to servants running around,less guards than usual,and his Jack standing right by the door.
"Good morning Your Majesty." A man with dark brown hair tied in a side ponytail,with blue ribbon.He had different shades of blue robes.
"Good Morning Yao." Alfred yawned.The two men started to walk towards the study.
"So why is everyone runnin' around."
"Well first off it's that time of month where all the servants come to the palace,and clean the whole place aru."
"Oh and what about the guards?"
"You mean you don't remember aru?"
"Remember what? Wait...Is it someone's birthday?!" Alfred started to panic.
"No it's not someone's birthday,but the reason why the guards aren't here because..."
"GET BACK HERE!!!!!!!" A chef that had flour over his face,and syrup in his mustache came barging in the halls.Peter the Joker of Spades had a bag full of all the maple syrup jars in his hands.He flew pass Alfred and Yao,but was stopped by Matthew the Ace of Spades.
"Give them to me Peter." Matthew said in a stern voice.Which made him look like a mother.
"Whateva!I don't even like maple syrup anyway." Peter dropped the bag,and vanished with a snap of his fingers.
"Anyway as I was saying aru.The reason behind all this because..."
(One explanation later)
"Well shit..."
"My exact words aru."
"What are we going to do now?"
"Well that's up to-"
"Your Majesty!Jack Yao!" A guard came bursting in interrupting Yao.
"Yes what is it?" Alfred asked.
"We have man claiming he's the King of Diamonds and he has Princess Alice."
"Then let them in!"
"But my King they have no guards,nor a carriage."
"Let me go see them myself then."
"Wait Alfred!" Yao called.Alfred raced downstairs.Two guards were standing there waiting for him.He walked out beside each of the men,and when he got closer he could see a man with long blond hair,and worn out orange clothing arguing with one of his guards.
"I'm telling you I'm King Francis Bonnefoy of Diamonds!This is Princess Alice Elizabeth Kirkland!"
"Sir you must wait until the Prince..."
"What's going on?" Alfred interrupted.
"Ah Your Majesty well,umm.."
"I was trying to tell your guard that I'm the King of Diamonds and this is the Princess of Britannia."
Arthur had a cloak over himself so people wouldn't see his face.He wasn't so confident in his looks,and he needed to hide the tiara and necklace.
"If that is Princess why is there a cloak over her face aru?" Yao said while walking towards Alfred.
Arthur's shoulders tensed.
This isn't going to work!This isn't going to work!This isn't going to work!Alfred noticed Arthur's uneasiness and said...
"Is it okay if you take it off so we make sure it's who you say you are." Arthur looked over to Francis,and he nodded.Slowly Arthur took off the cloak,showing his face.His hair was long,and wavy.It looked silky to the touch.The makeup he was wearing made his eyes pop.Of course Francis agreed to no lipstick or blush.His gown had flower designed lace sleeves that were a light blue,it didn't go over his shoulder was kept it uncovered.The rest of his gown was a darker blue than the sleeves.With a hard shaped neck line.Surprisingly he could fit into a woman's shoe.His freckles could be seen,and his necklace shined.The tiara that had sapphires and amethyst glowed.He was blushing like crazy.Over all he looked like a gorgeous,yet cute princess.Everybody was staring at her bewildered by his beauty.
"M-my n-name.." Arthur started to get nervous.He then shook his head,and reminded himself this is not the right time.He coughed and looked up with determined eyes.
"My name is Alice Elizabeth Kirkland!I'm the Princess of Britannia,and this is Francis Bonnefoy King of Diamonds!We are who we say we are,and nobody else." Arthur spoke with such determination,and such seriousness that Alfred started to laugh.Arthur looked over surprised,and some what offended.
"Okay okay..I believe you.Open the gates." Alfred smiled as the gates opened.He walked over to Francis and bowed.
"My apologies Your Majesty this is not the best of ways to greet a future ally."
"Oui."
Alfred then walked over to Arthur and kissed his hand.
"And my most sincere apologies to you Princess.That won't ever happen again." Alfred smiled.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Arthur mumbled.
"What was that Princess?"
"I said Thank you Your Majesty." Alfred stood up and smirked.
"We will soon become partners,please just call me Alfred or Al."
"I'm good.I will stick with Your Majesty.Also you kissing my hand that won't eva happen again." Arthur smirked,and was escorted by the guards and Francis to the palace.
*Whistle*
"You said it Alfred aru."
"Come on let's go inside it's to early for this,and I'm hungry."
"True."
"And those were some huge eyebrows."
"ALFRED!!" Yao slapped him inside the head.
"Sorry..." Alfred winced.
(Later)
"And this is the throne room." Alfred had been giving a tour of the whole palace to Arthur and Francis,all morning and afternoon.
"Fascinating..." Arthur whispered.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Alfred smiled.Arthur quickly went back to his poker face.Remembering to act like he's actually been in a palace before,which he hasn't.
"Yes...it's ok."
Arthur picked up the hem of his dress and walked towards the stained glass images.
Alfred came up behind him,and placing himself next to Arthur.
Arthur's raised his eyebrow,at the 4 works of art.One showed a man, faceless,wearing Kong's clothing reaching towards something above him.A clock dangling on his fingers.The one next to him showed another guy,except in the aces clothing.He had a clock chain surrounding him,as a huge clock stood in front.Next to that one,was a man in the Jack's uniform.He had different clocks around him.His hand seemed to be reaching towards the room.Last but not least,is what caused Arthur's confusion.The fourth one was empty.It was just a blue blank space.As if he had read Arthur's thoughts Alfred said..
"That empty one confuses me.I just don't get it.I mean obviously the first one suppose to the.."
"Prince Alfred! Princess Alice! Dinner is ready." A maid that had brown long pigtails,and blue ribbons tying them together.Walked in and interrupted Alfred.
"Coming!" Alfred called.
"Shall we?" He winked and offer his arm.As if on instinct Arthur wrapped his arm around his.
"We shall." He chuckled.
The walked off to go to dinner.
Arthur and Alfred walked into a gorgeous dining room,that had a long round table,with chairs surrounding it.The wood had to be dark oak,and it was beautifully crafted;with curves at the feet.What made it more astonishing was the working clock in the middle.
"What's it with this Kingdom and clocks?" Arthur mumbled.He wasn't actually being serious,but he couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm? What did ya say?"
"It is...what did you say." Arthur corrected him.King or not,he is going to use proper English.
"Fine.What did you say?" Alfred rolled his eyes.Arthur let go of his arm.and started to walk off,but then he stopped.
"Nothing of the importance." Arthur continued,and sat next to Francis.Alfred's eye twitched,but he let it go and took his seat next to Yao,his Jack.The doors to the kitchen opened,and a man that had long,but short brown hair,and bushy eyebrows appeared.He had a blue coat that had a silver design at the sleeves.The sleeves seemed to be bigger then his arms.Under the coat/cloak,were dark brown pants.His navy blue,sandals also had a silver design.
"Dinner is served." The man said.
"Thank you, Li Xiao aru."
Xaio,brushes passed Arthur as he slipped a note into his dress.Arthur unknowing of the act.
"Here." Xaio said in a monotone,as he set the sandwich's down.Arthur
thanked him,and started to eat..he picked up the first thing he saw,and started.His food was right about to enter in his mouth when Francis nudged him.
"What?" He whispered.He looked up to see the men staring at him.He set the fork down on his plate.An awkward silence flooded the room,and the more awkward it got,the more suspicious Arthur was.
"Cough,where Arth..I mean Alice comes from it is custom to eat before you receive your drink." France hissed at the the last three words,to emphasize his meaning.
"Right." Arthur whispered.
"Right!" He said louder.
"Really? Well I'm sorry that we judged." Arthur looked over to Alfred..wait no.There's something different about him...it's probably the polar bear,but why does he look like Alfred.
"It is fine really.I'm sorry what is your name again?"
"Matthew Williams,I'm Alfred's cousin and Ace of Spades."
"Right.I'm Arth..I mean Alice Kirkland Princess of..of..." Arthur forgot the Kingdom she was from,and even though he has they're accent he wasn't born there,but what is there?
"Britannia?" Yao questioned.He raised his eyebrow.Shouldn't a princess know where she is from.
"Right! Sorry..I guess..umm."
"Drinks are served!" Thankfully Xaio came in interrupting Arthur.The latter sighed in relief.Francis following after.
They all began to eat,Arthur remembered the crazy training Francis and himself did on their way to Spades.Of how to eat probably,and which fork to use,and blah blah blah.
"So.Alice...what is Britannia like?" Yao asked.Arthur's mouth went dry,the question
he was dreading.
"Well..it's..uhh..very..." Arthur stumbled on finding the right words.Fun fact about Arthur when Arthur's nervous or lies he uses broken English,and will start to sound like a total idiot.
"It's a well y-ya see,it's very..umm." Arthur looked over to Francis,but he wasn't there.
Bloody French frog is flirty with the castle maid.Arthur started to panic,when he saw a floating mint bunny,coming to him.The bunny rested on his shoulders,and whispered...
"Let me help." Arthur's eyes locked with the bunny.
"Okay.." Arthur whispered.He looked up to Yao and the others.He suddenly got a wave of anxiety.The bunny soothed him,and started to tell him sentences..
"Britannia is a country full of music,fashion,color,and it always rains."
"Really?I heard the fashion there is very popular." Alfe..ahem sorry I mean,Matthew said.
"That's cool,but what about the food? I heard when you cook you're horr-." Alfred let out a sound that sound like a gurgle,and scream.He clenched his stomach,where Yao had elbowed.
"Ignore him aru!" Yao laughed nervously.
"Heheheh." Alfred tried to laugh,but failed miserably.
"Right ..."
Arthur continued talking to the Spades royalty,telling them how amazing Britannia was.The whole experience feels surreal for Arthur.Unreal to be exact.
Finally dinner was over and Arthur could go to bed.
"Alfred would you show Princess Alice,to her chambers?"
"What?" Alfred asked.Yao glared at him,and Alfred gained his composure.
"Oh yeah! Yes,I mean.I would gladly show her royal self,to her bed..I mean sleeping chambers." Alfred bowed,and hurriedly walked to Arthur.
"Nice save." Arthur giggled.
(A/N I can't believe I just wrote that Iggy giggled.)
"Heheheh,you think so?" Alfred smiled.Maybe this whole marriage thing wouldn't be bad.
When Alfred and Arthur arrived to Arthur's chambers.Alfred held on tighter to Arthur's arm.
"What's the matter?"
"Huh?" Alfred noticed his hold on his arm.
"Oh sorry,just thinking,let me know if you need anything or if anything isn't perfect." Alfred walked away,leaving Arthur by himself.
Arthur opened the door,to a blue bed,that had white sheets,and pillows.The blanket,being thick and pearl white,and all around it a purple rose design going into a clock.A canopy with a thin blue sheets,dripping over the tile floor.Beautiful clear doors,opened up to a patio,with a stone fence around it.Arthur took off the heels,and walked outside.The view.Oh the view was amazing.He could see the forest,the hills,and mountains.All covered with life,and who knows what.The night sky,looked gorgeous with all the stars.The moon shined bright,and it was plastered with blue,and purple.Absolutely gorgeous,but not nearly as much if you were in the forest.
Arthur soon felt,an itching sensation.His arm lifted up to going into the back of his dress,he picked up a note,and raised his thick eyebrows.He opened it to say..

Alice Elizabeth Kirkland
