Finding Love In Royalty

Chapter 19

I woke up the next morning to Shyanne yelling in my ear again. "KATY YOU ARE LATE FOR BREAKFAST!!" I jump up out of my bed and run into my closet. I grab my white floral dress and quickly change into that and slip on my flats before running out of my room and making it to the dinning room right on time. "Good morning mother. Good morning father." I say sitting down in my normal seat. Breakfast is just like any other morning and just like the morning they told me that I would be getting married my father stopped me just before I got up.

"Kathryn we have to discuss something with you." He says in a more stern voice then normal.

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

"Who is it that you plan on marrying?" My mother asks.

"I have not decided yet. I have narrowed down my dicission but just have not chosen yet." I tell them.

"If you do not announce who you will be marrying at your ball, we will be selecting your husband for you." My father says. "Now head to your room and get ready for your day." He says. I stand up from the table and curtsie. The second I get to my room I hit the button to call Shyanne upto my room and I knock on each of the girls doors. I sit down on the couch and curl up into a ball and begin crying. Shyanne makes it out first and she grabs a blanket wrapping it around me as the other girls come out of their rooms.

"What happened at breakfast? Did it have something to do with the wedding?" She asks rubbing my back trying to calm me down. I nod my head still crying.

"What did your father say to you this morning?" Eleanor asks.

"He said if I do not announce who I want to marry at my ball he will pick my husband for me. And being fully honest I can not pick between Harry and Niall. They are both the perfect examples of the kind of guy that I want to marry." I say continuing to cry.

"Well I think that maybe you need to see each of them one more time before the ball. It might just be enough to clear your mind and help you make your choice." Dani says.

"I agree with Dani. It really might help you choose." Perrie says.

"Ok, let me go clean up and then I'll go and talk with the boys." I say standing up off the couch and walking into my ensuite. I wash my face before adding some concealer to cover up the fact that I have been crying. I put in some eye drops to get rid of the redness in my eyes. I walk into my closet and grab my white blazer and slip it on before walking towards the door to my parlor. When I walk in everyone looks up at me.

"I can't even tell you have been crying." Dani says hugging me.

"Thanks, now it's time to go and see if I can figure out who my prince charming is." I say and the girls all wish me good luck as I walk down the hall. I get to Niall's door and I knock on the door. It opens and he smiles when he sees me. "Hey Niall, would you like to go on a stroll through the gardens?" I ask him. He nods his head and steps out into the hall with me.

"Kathryn, can I ask you something?" He says making me stop in my tracks. This is the first time he hasn't called me Katy.

"Sure Niall what do you need to ask?" I say turning to face him.

"What do you feel in your heart when your with me?" He asks. "Please be honest." He says staring stright into my eyes.

"In the beginning I felt butterflies. But now I have more of a brotherly feeling when I'm with you." I tell him looking stright back into his eyes.

"That is a relief!" He says sighing. "It's not that I don't like you, I just have more of a sisterly feeling toward you." He says.

"That is comforting to find out now instead of later." I tell him.

"I'm glad we were able to talk then." He says smiling at me as we walk back up towards the palace. This makes my decission alot easier.
