your heels click against the stone floors, the train of your dress flowing behind you. your hands were at your sides, as you walked elegantly in the castle's hallways. your servant, alexander, followed behind you in the suite. you stopped in front of the large brown doors, adjusting the silk white gloves that rest on your hands.
     "for all you know, ms. l/n, the prince could be to your liking." alexander says, attempting to bring light to the undesirable state you are in.
     "it isn't the appearance of the prince i am worried about, i'm sure he's stunning. it's the fact that i don't have a choice in whether i should marry the man or not," you said, signing and adjusting the small crown that lay upon your head.
     alexander walks up to the doors, opening them for you. he opens both of them carefully, making sure not to hit you. "my king and queen, princess y/n has arrived." he announced to your family.
     the guard kneeled immediately, their heads looking toward the ground, a sign of respect. you smile softly, wishing they weren't so formal. you look at your friend, fundy, who was a guard as well. he smiles at you through his helmet, winking at you. you giggle, facing forward and walking toward your parents.
your mother smiles, her eyes lighting up. "you look beautiful, my darling! the maids did amazing on your makeup." she notes, kissing your cheek as you kiss hers.
you do the same to your father as well, "yes, you look beautiful, y/n." he says, sitting back down on his thrown.
your mother takes her place on her thrown, and you took yours. you smoothed out your dress with the palms of your hands, making sure there wasn't a crinkle in sight. as much as you didn't want to marry this man, whoever it was, it wouldn't hurt to look nice.
"you're going to love him, y/n! he's absolutely a joy." your mother whispers to you, you smiling at her.
you look away, "we'll see about that." you say under your breath. you let go a sigh you didn't think you were holding, pulling at the ends of your gloves. you fixed them onto your hands, the satin hugging your finger and palms comfortably, extending past your wrist.
    the doors opened abruptly, and staff from the neighboring castle, his castle, walks in curtly. his movements are elegant and to the point. he bows, your parents standing up as well. they motion for you to stand up, and you do. you all bow back to him, continuing to stand.
     he clears his throat, "king and queen of lmanburg! i present to you, the king, queen, and their son, of the dream smp." he says moving out of the doors way.
     the queen walks in first, she's beautiful. she has brown hair, falling onto her shoulders delicately. her dress is white, matching her porcelain skin. she walks in and moves to the side, her husband following after. he wore a red suit and a white undershirt, black pants. his hair was brown as well, curly and a bit long.
     they walk together, up to where your parents and you stand. your parents reach forward to do greetings, a hug, and a smile for both.
the queen turns toward you, a smile gracing her face. "oh my gosh! your parents told me you were beautiful in the letters but i never imagined this. you are gorgeous." she says, taking your hands and kissing your cheek. you kiss hers as well.
"thank you so much, miss. you're beautiful as well, your dress looks amazing," you say, smiling back at her softly.
just as you do, the door opens once again. the announcer stands up. "finally, we announce prince eret, son of the king and queen of the dream smp!" he says, stepping back once again.
he walks in, hands at his sides. he looks confident, but not in a narcissistic way. he has his mother's hair color, a dark brown, and his fathers' texture, it's curly. the curls frame his face, which is soft but also masculine. he wears a white suit, accompanied by a black undershirt and tie. his shoes have a slight platform, not that he needs it, he's very tall already. your breath is stolen from you, immediately.
he walks up, calmly and slowly to where you all stand. he smiles, at his parents, at your parents, and then at you. his smile makes the butterflies in your stomach multiply. he bows to your father, shaking his hand. he also bows to your mother, kissing her hand softly. she smiles at him, and you can tell that she already loves him.
then his eyes land on you, once again. your parents begin talking as he strides over to you, standing in front of you. you're the first to bow at him, but once you come up, he hasn't done the same. he's looking at you, not creepily, but studying your face.
snapping out of it, his face flushes softly and he bows to you. once he's up, he takes your gloves hand in his and presses his lips to the back of your palm. you immediately feel your face heat up. you've had many princes kiss your hand, but not one as good-looking as him.
"it's nice to finally meet you, princess y/n." eret says, and his voice is enough to make you pass out. his voice is soft and smooth, like milk and honey.
"it's lovely to meet you too, prince eret." you smile, noticing he still has your hand in his. his hands are warm, calloused, but warm.
your mother turns toward you, smiling softly at the scene in front of her. "why don't you two get to know each other in the garden? we need to discuss things."
you nod, looking at eret. he smiles and nods. you take your hand out of his and make your way out of the throne room, eret close behind. as you make it out and down the hall, he runs up to you and grabs your hand again. this time, he intertwines your fingers.
"so i don't get lost." eret explains, you just giggle, leading him to the garden, where you discuss anything and everything.

so, this is love, huh?
