"The queen has arrived." She hears a thump from the other side of the door and she goes in.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see my son, where were you?"
"I was in here reading the financial books."
"Well" She walks towards the bed, the guards stand outside the door after they close it. "Come sit with me." Daniel sits by his mother.
"Your wife shall arrive within the next day after tomorrow." He gets up and walks towards the fireplace.
"I thought we been through this mother, I WILL NOT marry anyone except Belle, she is well written and well learned, surely her birth ought not to matter. Besides all the kingdoms children love her, she helped out the schools in the time of need, she has helped make a way for us to save for the upcoming famine."
"All of that is great, but she is not of noble birth."
"Well screw noble birth." She stands ."Prince Daniel, you will marry this girl whether you like it or not, and you will hold your tongue. Now you shall go and tell Belle in the morning of your upcoming wedding."
"She can have a wedding, I won't be there!!" She goes towards the door.
"You will be married next morn after the next." She leaves.
