[Princess reader x knight Tom ]Not Exactly

by cowshark

Y/N's POV

Being a princess is all that it's hyped up to be and more. As the princess of England I don't have much responsibilities, mostly I have to sit in the Throne room, discuss stuff with my father and mother and look pretty. My brother Matthew is a total ladies man, he loves to flirt with everyone. I prefer to read books in the royal garden which I take care of. Matthew is older than me and takes his self proclaimed dashing good looks from mother, whilst I look more like my father with h/c hair and e/c eyes. Matthew and I always have our personal knights accompanying us while we do our rounds around the castle and kingdom. Matthew has knight Edward *this has nothing to do with saloonatics* and I have knight Thomas, he insists I call him Tom though. We are very good friends, I enjoy talking to Tom, he has very interesting stories about his childhood.

Apparently, his mother is a bowling ball and his father a pineapple. Currently I'm tending to the violets in the royal garden while Tom is telling me this story about when he got lost in the knight training academy and ended up at the market all the way across town from the training grounds. I giggled as he ended the story with him getting and earful from elder knight Tobias. "hey princess, don't laugh about it, Tobias can be a very frightening man" Thomas said as I covered my mouth to help calm my giggles"Oh Tom, I can't help myself, he is 88 years old for heaven's sake, he can't scare a fly anymore" he smiled a bit before shaking his head "princess, that man can be as frightening as your father when he is in a bad mood" "Knight Ridgewood is any way to speak to your king" my father said playfully, Thomas although looked like all the color drained out of his face as he bowed with shaky knees and apologized. My father gave out hearty laugh "oh Thomas get back up! I can assure you I am not in a bad mood, as a matter of fact I am quite happy, y/n here has suitors!" Tom's face visibly fell "E-excuse me your majesties" He rushed off. My dad shrugged it off "y/n would you like suitors, I'm not going to force you to love someone, I am not that kind of person. I'll give you time to think" "thank you father I'll think about it" I said as I hugged my father "y/n I love you very much. I just want you to be happy ok?" my father said then kissed my hair, I nodded. He ruffled my hair "that's my girl, I need to get going, find that knight of yours, I have a feeling that is who you love" my father left and I was astonished. How in the fresh hell did he know I loved Tom?It is quite peculiar for a princess to fall in love with her knight. Tom is everything I have ever wanted in a man. He is kind, although Tom is moody most of the time, he still has a kind heart. He loves to compliment me. I've been told he drinks quite a lot but whenever he's drunk in front of me he becomes a cuddly bear. Tom is also quite handsome, the times I see him without his helm, I get a glimpse of his mysterious void like eyes and soft but spiky brown hair. Tom really is the one who holds my heart with caring hands. I followed where he rushed off to, the royal green house.

Tom's POV

I can not believe this, princess y/n is going to get married to a random prince who probably doesn't deserve her. I love her, I am so stupid. I knew I didn't have a chance with her. I am her knight after all. Not a prince. I fell warm tears fall out of my eyes, or lack there of. I quickly dry the tears when I hear someone coming "Thomas? Oh Tom where are you?" I heard my princess call out. "I'm right here princess" I said and stood in front of her. She smiled and hugged me "Thomas I don't need a suitor. I already love someone else" my heart shattered as I looked the other way, tears pricking my eyes once more "oh, and who might that be princess?" she giggles "you of course!" I was shocked at this, I never imagined she'd love me back. I looked at her, she was waiting for my response. "that's a relief, I love you too" I said smiling. We stood there smiling like idiots, then I kissed her. She was shocked at first but then kissed me back. Sure I wasn't exactly prince charming that everyone expected y/n to marry. But she tells me that I'm exactly what she wants.
