Writer's block on your own original? Bad. Suckish. Plot to go forward? Righteous. Rylus has to go home. How is that going to go?

Enjoy.

~~~~~

Rylus managed to slip out and even though he was very sore from the impact from rugby with the guys he was able to make it back to the castle. All the guards and staff could recognize his face. Easy as pie to enter the castle walls and to his room. Though the coast wasn't all clear.

"Master Rylus what his that are your arm dear boy?" Asked William.

"Oh, hello William I sort have,"

"Clearly injured. Who patched you up? One of the boys? I doubt that one. You have to let me know so I can help you. Before the Queen catches on to your wound."

"Actually William this girl helped me out. Her family owns a flower shop by the bad part of where we play. She cleaned it all out and sent me on my way."

"Her name by any chance Master Rylus?"

"June. Red hair and green eyes. She is beautiful William. You want to drool. She is caring and hard working. Has morals and carries herself well. Offered to walk me home. Which obviously I declined."

The butler wiped the swear off his forehead. "Phew. Thank goodness chap. I mustn't have the King and Queen have uninvited guests at their establishment. It wouldn't be dignified. Never do Master Rylus."

"I understand. But some ice would do me good and that's really all I can think of William. And maybe some regular water. I'll change and I feel parched after the game."

"Very good Master."

Rylus sat up on his bed and attempted to relax his arm and pay attention to detail. He couldn't let his mother know or she would forbid him on playing rugby. Then the moral codes such as not knowing anyone of royalty having an illness or injuries. In best of his ability and fate would let him he was going to work with it. Naturally he found himself laying there spacing out on how the day has been. Starting off saying that he was going to marry him to someone. He was going to be able to meet girls and choose but he didn't like the concept. Then their was a normal day at work, throwing his shoulder from a cheap hot playing rugby which lead the red haired beauty. Smart as well. If she was looking for something she would have found it by then.

This isn't by any means a decent task at hand. Lay here and heal. For someone working and playing in physical game this is rather soothing. Yet how long could I possibly do this before I start becoming a prayer wily or start rotting like a convict? And if i played that game out I wouldn't have met June. June. Wait... could she? Would she? The questions.

Along with June's whiskey cleansing, William's ice, and the boy's bed Prince Ryluscious was feeling much better as it was supper time at the castle as the ladies prepared chicken and vegetables freshly picked with a blueberry pie for dessert. The King, Queen, and Prince all at one table which could be very interesting.

"So boy how was rugby?" Asked the King.

"Alright father. I got cheapshot at and that started a fight to break out. I'm sore but doing fine. It was 2-0 and I believe that was that."

"You score on them or let them have it?"

"I'm a Taiown. I use my skills and speed in battle to win. That I did. Score one for Rylus."

"Nothing wrong with your name Ryluscious." Eased the Queen.

"Rylus is just shorter mother. That is all."

"You will always be my Ryluscious or just son. Won't call you anything else for quite sometime. Maybe if you get married."

The King laughed. "Ho-ho. He might be married in a few months of time. Lord have mercy. I should tell you know Ryluscious, but I have someone for you to meet. I informed that you wouldn't be working. Give your arm a rest as well. You will be meeting Heiress Rebecca. Nice blonde of a trader family. Her father is a brewer and supplies local taverns. I expect those clothes wrinkle free and you to be behaved. A man on my ship and in my castle will act proper in front of a candidate of marriage."

Rylus was stunned. "Already? Father..."

"Son I told you I am getting old." The King boomed.

"How did you find someone so quick? I thought this would take a month or so. Thought I had a little bit of time before I had one. Say at least until I had one date." He sighed. This isn't going to work out is it? Probably not.

"Have you sparked an interest?"

"Well, not so sure. It's not that know I'm part of the royal family. Imagine how different I would be treated. See what happens. You watch. Different faces and personality. A regular girl would be stunned and overwhelmed. Others expect it and want to know the perks. Father you're telling me their isn't a chance that one trying to marry a Prince isn't a tart? A greedy lass? Someone not being truthful and playing along to get their wish?"

The King took a sip from his chalice and shook his head. "I would be picking these personally. I will do you right but giving you options. But remember now if you are to find your own please take great care. You haven't much time. And meeting the perfect lady and having her adjust may be difficult. However after married to your mother for years I remember the steps. This is not easy and I realize this is expecting much. However not only as King Henrik George Taiown but as your father I will do all I can to help work with you."

"And I Ryluscious Robin Taiown accept the challenge to find a mate and respect these procedures." He raised his chalice.

"And your manners and charm will make you a good husband one day dear boy." The King smiled and took another sip as the gears in his brain turned. This was now in progress. How much time was Ryluscious going to have? No set date but it was not on his side.

~~~~~

To my mellow international readers I apologize for the long wait. Taking more notes and stepping out of my comfort zone.

Rylus seems healed up to a point as his father is lining up maidens for him. Not the shrine kind but the ones single and around his age. Is the King using his type to find them? Does the Queen pick someone personally? And how are these dates or meetings going to occur? Prince Rylus is scared out of his mind as he is the time clicks.

As always I hope all enjoyed, vote for more, comment freely, and as always have an awesome day because you guys are the best and make this happen. Any questions or concerns are welcome. Love you all.
