When you were young perspective (Early Pre-Teens)

You came from a long line of royalty, however, you were the first daughter born in the line of your family. Each generation had a son to take the crown when they come of age; since you were a daughter, you were sent off for marriage. You met your suitor at the young age of 13, you and your mother traveled 3 kingdoms to meet the young prince you would marry in the future. You were still young and didn't understand the fate you had, but your mother advised you to try your best and like the young prince. You arrived in front of the castle and were brought in by servants to meet in the castle garden. There you saw a young woman, the queen, waiting for you and your mother's company. "It's wonderful to see you again, I haven't seen you since last year's ball," Anne says hugging your mother, "(Y/N), you have grown beautifully over the years...Ah let me introduce you to my son, Ashton?" she called out to a boy who was playing with his younger siblings in the garden. Young Prince Ashton stood beside his mother, "Yes?" he answered. "Ashton, this is (Y/N), I hope the two of you will be well acquainted," Anne says smiling. Ashton looked at your curiously, and you felt your face growing warm. You curtsied, "Good afternoon Prince Ashton," you said, and he smiled. "Ashton, take (Y/N) and stroll around, I would like to speak to (Y/N)'s mother for a moment." "Of course," he says stretching his arm toward you. You hooked your arm with his, and he began to give you a tour of the garden. You were too shy to speak, but Ashton didn't mind leading the conversation. "(Y/N)...?" "Yes Prince?" "Please, just call me Ashton," he starts, "are you okay with this?" "With what A-Ashton?" you asked shyly. "This arranged marriage that my mother and your parents are planning?" he says. You hesitated with your answer, and he continued to speak, "Starting on this day you will be my fiance, and when we are old enough, we will be married. It is your fate that was decided when you were born as a daughter instead of a son," he says and stops walking to face you, "I don't want to force you into such things," he says, and you tried to think of what to say. "I-I don't mind," you said. "My mother says that I will grow to like you, and I don't mind," you said continuing to walk. "Is that what you want though?" he asks, and you thought. Your heart was starting to beat whenever he looked at you or spoke to you. In this moment, you knew that you could grow to like Ashton and develop genuine feelings, but thought if he would for you too. "You don't want this?" you questioned. He stutters slightly by the question and looks away, "I'm not sure if it would be fair. To be honest princess we have no idea what the future holds, but if you or I find someone special to our hearts, it would hurt the most if we can't be with them right?" he says. "What if you are the one who is special in my heart Prince Ashton?" you questioned. He looked surprised with your answer and smiled slightly, "We will see if I could return the same feelings," he says before strolling beside you again. When you walked back to where your mothers were chatting, they pulled out the seats for you and Ashton to sit down and listen to what they agreed to. "We have decided that (Y/N) will move here when she is 16, 3 years from now. She will undergo bridal training and get to know Ashton a bit before the wedding when she turns 18, 2 years later, and Ashton takes the crown," Anne says. "You will be a wonderful bride (Y/N)," your mother says taking your hand. "What if I don't want to get married mum? It isn't fair to me or to (Y/N)," Ashton says interrupting the discussion. "Then if your feelings for (Y/N) do not peak within those 2 years, you will move on to being king, and we will marry her off to another suitor in line," your mother answers. "Then again, there is no rush between you two. Love takes time, and you have that time to develop those feelings," Anne says smiling. You and your mother stayed at the castle for 3 nights before heading back to your own kingdom to tell your father the agreement. You curtsied again to Ashton, "I hope you will learn to like me Prince Ashton." "We shall see Princess, I look forward to seeing you again," he says taking your hand and kissing it before letting you go to the carriages. You watched the castle grow smaller as the carriages took you and your mother farther. "What are your thoughts on the Prince?" your mother asks. "He is wonderful...Could it be a love at first sight? Do you think we will work out?" you asked your mother a bit anxiously. "Time will tell. During that time, let's make sure you grow to be a wonderful suited queen," she says resting herself. You looked back again at the castle smiling.
