I closed my eyes trying to remember what had just  happened.  I had just went on one if my favourite dates with Ryan. Exactly two years ago we had met of corse we'd seen each other many times. We really met when I was five at my sisters Marlee and Malory's first birthday. He was seven and his father had just been promoted to head guard father invited him and his family. 

"Miss Lacey would you like me to lay out your dress for tomorrow?" My maid Marisa asked. 

"Yes please, thank you." I left my room to see my baby sister Amelia. Amelia was only five at the time. 

"Lacey? Why are you up so late?" I turned scared I would see my parents  but it was just Timothy my older brother. 

"God you scared me." I joked but Timothy didn't laugh he was so serious. 

"Why are you out of your room?" 

"I could ask the same of you." I hated when he treated me like a baby. 

"Couldn't sleep."

"Me too." I pretended to look at a picture I couldn't tell a lie if my life depended on it.

"So are you worried about tomorrow?"

"Yeah probably why I couldn't sleep becoming the new king does that to you." He let out a laugh I was startled. 

"Did I just hear Timothy Gillia laugh? Are you okay?" I asked sarcastically. 

"Can I tell you something?" 

"Sure I love secrets!" 

"I don't know what the heck I'm doing all my life I've been hearing you'll be a great king, so serious great king its really a huge responsibility and I'm nineteen! Roger doesn't have this pressure."

"Roger is our cousin his family's well off but not royalty."

"I know but he's nineteen and he could be king dads nephew." 

"Tim you will be fine you're responsible and smart that's all our people need."

"Don't forget charming."

"Don't push it." I yawned and realized it was almost four in the morning. Timothy got the message and excused himself I almost ran to bed. My eyes felt heavy and closed shut.
