Finding Love In Royalty

Chapter 1

"Katy!!! Get your lazy butt out of bed!!! Your parents have something important to tell you!!" I hear my best friend yell. I sit up and look around my extra large bedroom. I stand up and Shyanne throws some clothes at me. "Hurry up and change or else you will be late for breakfast!" She says. I pull on my black floral print dress, my white blazer and my black high heeled ankle boots. I run my brush through my hair quickly and as I speed walk to the dinning room I am quickly braiding my hair over my left shoulder. This walk is gonna take my a while so let me explain who I am. My name is Princess Kathryn Anderson. I have about six middle names that I just don't feel like listing off right now. I am 19 years old and I am the heir to the throne in London. My 20th birthday is in four months and I am still looking for my prince charming.....speaking of him he actually does have to be a prince. But back to me, I have waist length brown hair and sky blue eyes. Now I am standing outside the dinning room doors. The buttlers open them for me and I walk over to my seat next to my father and across from my mother. 

"Good morning mother. Good morning father." We go through this every morning. I say good morning and they just nod their heads. I take my seat eat my breakfast, and head back to my room for the day, until one of my lessons begings. Just as I finish my breakfast my father clears his throat. 

"Kathryn we have some news to tell you." He says.

"What is it father?" I ask genuinly confused. 

"You will be having an arranged marriage. Now before you leave I want to tell you, you will get to choose your husband from five of the princes here in England. They will be arriving here at the castle next week and will be staying here until your ball. You must have your mind made up about who you will marry before the ball. Now you may leave." I nod my head and curtsy at them before walking out of the dinning room and running back to my room and pressing the button to call for Shyanne. Shyanne is my best and only friend, I don't care that she is a part of the staff she is the only person here that is close to my age and doesn't treat me like a princess. She doesn't constantly remind me that I am the princess of London. She treats me like Katy, a normal 19 year old girl. After laying on the couch in my parlor for about 5 minutes my door opens to reveal Shyanne standing there. 

"What happened at breakfast?" She asks sitting down on the couch with me. 

"I'm having an arranged marriage." I tell her as I begin to cry.

"Sweetie I am so sorry!" She says as she wraps me up in a hug. 

"The princes arive in a week. I have to choose between five princes here in England." I tell her.

"Atleast you get to choose." She says.

"I have to make my decision before my birthday ball in four months. How do I decide in four months who I want to spend the rest of my life with?" I ask her. 

"You have a valid point but you never know maybe one of them will be your prince charming." She says wiggling her eyebrows at me. "And also you gotta admit you saw this coming. You will be taking over the throne when you turn 21 so you had to know it was going to happen sooner or later." She says stroaking my hair.

"You have a point, why do you have to be so smart?" I ask her smiling.

"Becuase I remember more than you do." She says laughing. "By the way you are going to be going through some dresses today to narrow down your selection for your birthday ball." She says. 

"Awww but I dont want to." I say pouting, she just laughs.

"You still have a while, but if you will excuse me I have to go prepare the guest rooms for the princes arrivals. Their parents sent over the list of requirements for each room and I was assigned to take care of them. So I will be back here to take you to your dress fitting in a couple hours." She says smiling before she leaves the room.
