Adrian POV

"Ugh, must we do this again mother?" The prince said as he looked upon the beautiful women lined up for his hand in marriage. To his left sat his mother as charming as ever with her beautiful strawberry blonde hair tied up in a bun and a regal satan red dress. She was calm sipping her tea.

She put it down than replied to her son's whining. "Yes, as the future king and my only child, I would prefer if you had someone to rule beside you and give me grand babies." Adrian looked annoyed for his mother had no idea about his male preference and he was not going to tell because he knows she will , permission or not , make him marry one of these women
 
" but mother, I want no gold digging slut in my home, let alone to marry and have my children" Adrian said eyeing the women who looked at him as if he was their next victim or lunch. "Look at them, they all look like bitches in heat" Adrian continued. "I will not have such foul words come from the future king's mouth" he's mother finally snapped. Adrian gave her a droll stare that clearly told that he wasn't backing down and is going to stick to his own beliefs.

So she sighed and dismissed the maidens who went out muttering about how handsome he was but he was still a 'royal brat who takes daddy's money'. 'And they still want a piece of me' the prince mentally tsked. " My baby, precious, darling boy" Adrian cringed.

"Mother, I told you, none of this is going to work." He said looking her straight in the eyes. " why? Are you asexual or ,gods forbid, homosexual?" She spit the word out with such hatred her son flinched. Her eyes immediately softened when she saw the way her son reacted and cupped his face " I apologize, I just. Baby, people like that disgusts me"

Adrian kind of understood. One of his mother's most beloved lovers left her for a male and claimed that he loved her not. She than found out he was stealing money and jewels from her. She was absolutely devastated, to the point where she threw herself in a marriage she didn't want to be apart of. To this day her husband goes and sleeps around with whores.

"Mother, I love you, and what your doing for me is kind and I appreciate it, believe me. But none of those females interest me.ok?"Adrian said softly to his mother who softly sniffed seeming to remember that particular memory. She smiled up at her son and nodded gently. "Ok, now I'm going to go out and take a walk" he said when he was sure she was going to be fine. "Ok, just be back in time for lunch." He nodded and headed out of the throne room.

Adrian went out to the back and got his horse, Rider. Rider was a pretty black horse with white, long mane. Adrian set off as soon as Rider's saddle was on and he was strapped.

He rode all the way into the village where he planned to buy some snacks Incase he gets hungry. As he rode around he noticed a sweet looking stand that seemed to sell lovely looking pastries. Adrian got off of Rider to check out the stand.

Behind it was the most beautiful creature he has seen. He had lovely brown locks that looked smooth and soft to the touch and he wore a loose tunic that flowed through smooth pale skin. 'Fuck' Adrian muttered. He needed to go there. He needed to find out how the boy sounds.

Adrian mindlessly went to the stand. "Good evening kind sir" Adrian nearly let loose a moan. His voice was absolutely beautiful. But how could Adrian doubt that such thing wouldn't have a lovely voice. "Sir?" The boy questioned.

Adrian realized he was staring and found a modicum of brain cells to talk like a normal person and not stutter like an idiot "I apologize, for my behavior" The boy released a sweet giggle. It was a feminine giggle but Adrian for sure didn't mind.

"So, since you're here, would you like to buy anything? Most of them are fresh" the sweet thing asked. "Why not. What do you have sweetheart?" The boy was to excited to care about the pet name and started listing all of the things Adrian can buy. Adrian smiles at the boy's innocence.

Than Adrian noticed the pointed ears and asked "What species are you?" The little thing blushed to the tip of it's pointed ears "Um, I'm a-a faerie kind sir" that explained the boy's small frame and soft voice. "What about your name?" Adrian kept asking determined to get the boy tell him more about himself. "S-Sir, are you going to buy anything?" The boy said uncertainty laced his voice.

The prince hummed and looked at what he could buy. "Might I have 2 medium sized muffins and a pie. Both blueberry flavored please." The boy nodded and went and got the mans order. While he was packaging he noticed that the weird man looked familiar. As if he had seen him before, the boy shrugged and continued packaging wanting the man away from his stand.

He admits the male was handsome with dimpled checks, blonde hair that looked golden and— 'stop, this is weird he is a stranger' the boy scolded himself. "So will you ever tell me your name?" Adrian mused, fascinated by the adorable expressions the sweet boy was making. The boy didn't say anything in return, just gave him his package of treats. Adrian smiled at the wrapped treats.

"Well my name is Adrian if you wished to know" the boy hesitated, he definitely heard the name before and has seen the man before. He just doesn't know where.

While he was zoned Adrian had dropped 12 golden coins that made The boy's eyes widen. " this is too much sir" Adrian just smiled "No it's not, worry not for this has not put a dent in the amount of money I have." The boy nibbles on his bottom lips as he watched the man, Adrian, he called himself.

Before he could get further he caught his wrist and tugged. Adrian stopped and looked at the boy curiously. The boy fiddled with his fingers and eventually spoke "My name is Alex"
