Chapter 15

Martin was upset with Henry for not giving Lisa and Matthew his blessing in marriage. Martin hopes that Matthew was not the lost prince. Martin was wondering why Henry was so determined to have Lisa marry his son Adam. Adam was a spoiled rot kid. Martin met Adam one time. They were going to do a blood test on Matthew tomorrow. Martin was worried.

"Martin you do not have to worry because I am going to marry your daughter Lisa and I do not care what Henry said." - Matthew said.

"I am glad to hear that. I am just worried about how Henry was going to react." - Martin told Alex.

The next day they got the blood test result and they were positive. Martin was upset.

"Uncle Henry I know you mean well, but I do not want to marry Catherine. Why can your son marry Princess Catherine?" - Matthew asked Henry.

"Adams does not love Princess Catherine. Also, Princess Catherine does not love Adam." - Henry told Matthew.

"I am sorry Uncle Henry I still do not want to marry Princess Catherine. I am an adult and I have a right to make my own decisions. I decide to marry Lisa the woman I love." - Matthew told Henry.

"I understand nephew, I cannot force you to marry someone you do not love. I do not know what I am going to tell Princess Catherine's father, King Charles. King Charles will not take your rejection to his daughter good." - Henry told Matthew.

"I know Uncle Henry but I am sure he will find someone else to marry her." - Matthew said.

"I do not know Matthew because Princess Catherine has her heart on marrying you." - Henry said.

"I am sorry to disappoint her, but I do not want to marry her." - Matthew said.

"I just hope we do not run into problems with King Charles." - Henry said.

"Uncle Henry, King Charles cannot force me to marry Princess Catherine." - Matthew said.

"I know nephew I just do not want to have problems with King Charles.

" You do not tell King Charles and his daughter about me yet. When I marry Lisa then you can tell them you just found out I am the lost prince." - Matthew told Henry.

"That plan sounds good to me." - Henry said.

Henry was worried about Matthew but he knew he could not force him to marry princess Catherine. Henry was more worried about his son Adam. Adam was arrogant and was not a very nice person, Henry and his wife Beth try everything to made their son straighten up but Adam would not change. One day a woman begging for money came to their house. Adam was only 17 years old and was in the house by himself. The beggar woman came knocking on the door and asking Adam for some money. Adam told her to get out and leave or he would call the police. The beggar woman turned into a fairly and turned Adam into a beast. The fairly told Adam and his parents that the spell could only be broken if he can learn to love and earn love in return. So, Henry and Beth were trying to find a girl for their son to love and earn her love in return.

Henry was hoping Lisa would be the one that could break the spell, but she was marrying his nephew Matthew. Henry then remembers Martin's other daughter Rachel. Henry went to visit Martin to talk to him about Rachel.

"Martin, can I talk to you?" - Henry asked.

"Sure, what was going on?" - Martin asked.

"I decide I am not going to interfere with Matthew and your daughter's wedding plans anymore. I do need your help." - Henry said

"What can I do to help?" - Martin asked.

"A fairly put a curse on my son Adam. The curse can only be broken if Adam learns to love and earn love in return." - Henry said.

"I was wondering why you wanting Lisa to marry Adam. My daughter Rachel could help." - Martin told Henry.

"I was hoping you would say that." - Henry said.

Martin and Henry talk to Rachel told her that Henry's son Adam need a friend right now. Martin asked Rachel if she can visit with Adam.

"Yes, Dad, I would go visit Henry's son Adam. When do you want me to go? "Rachel asked Martin.

"I want you to go tomorrow. If that's ok?" - Martin asked.

"Yes, tomorrow will be fine." - Rachel said.

"Great, I am sure Henry will be happy. Henry and his wife have been having trouble with Adam since was a teenager. I hope you can get through to him. I have to warn you, Rachel, Adam was disfigured.

"Martin said. "Do not worry Dad, I will still help him." - Rachel said.

"I am glad to hear you say that." - Martin said.
