"Beau, we have found you a princess to marry, the king says, "she is absolutely delightful. You will love having her as your queen."

Beau nearly chokes on his food. "What?" He takes a sip of his water.

The king nods. "Princess Gemma from the neighbor kingdom. We will be joining forces with them."

Beau frowns. "Father, what if I find someone that I want to marry?"

"Is she of royalty?"

"He is of royal descent. He was disowned by his family, father."

"He?"

"Yes, he, father. I do not want to marry a female. I want to marry a—"

"No son of mine will marry a male. How will we keep the family bloodline going?"

"I—"

"You will be marrying Princess Gemma, and that is final." The king says.

Beau goes into the villiage to find the sweet boy that runs the apple stand. He and this boy have formed a relationship, and Beau loves him very much.

"Prince? Is that you?" Beau hears a voice ask, and he smiles when he hears the voice.

"Yes, it's me. Where are you?"

"Up here," Beau looks up, only to see his love in a tree.

"What are you doing up there, my love?" Beau asks. "Please be careful."

"I have to get the apples for my stand somehow," Mitch says, making his way down the tree. Once he's down, he places the apples in a bin. Then, he turns to Beau. "My sweet prince," he wraps his arms around his neck, and kisses him sweetly.

"My love, I have missed you," Beau says, kissing Mitch's forehead. "I have something to tell you." He frowns.

"What is it?"

"My father has found me a princess to marry."

Mitch tenses. "Oh."

"I tried to tell him that I want to marry you, not him, but he is very persistent in having me marry Gemma."

"I love you, Beau. It is okay. True love always prevails. We will figure something out." Mitch wraps his arms around Beau, smiling when he gets an embrace back.

"I hope we do," Beau says.

A few weeks later, Beau is asleep when someone is rushed to the Kingdom's hospital services.

"Please? Someone help this man. He fell out of a tree and is unconscious."

Fell out of a tree?

"I believe he is the apple seller, he is of royal descent, but his parents disowned him. Can you take care of him here?"

The apple seller? Beau jolts out of bed, and runs outside of the hospital.

No, no, no. This cannot be happening.

"Prince Beau! Can you allow the hospital to take in this man?" A stranger speaks, holding Mitch in his arms.

"Of course," Beau says, taking Mitch into his own arms. "What is your name?"

"Kevin Olusola," The stranger speaks.

"Thank you very much, Kevin, for letting us know about this." Beau says, before running into the hospital with Mitch in his arms.

"Please make sure that he is okay, he means very much to me, I do not know what I would do without him." Beau says to the doctor.
