°Marinette's P.O.V°

The next morning we were meeting King Gabriel's Assistant, Miss Natalie. She will be informing us about our countries' history. I wear a long flowy pink dress with no straps and my hair in a high ponytail. Adrien wears a green suit and his hair combed. He looks so handsome... What am I saying? I just met him yesterday! I can't be getting feelings already, can I?

We walk down into the library where we will learn our history. We sit down. "Good Morning, Your Highnesses. Today we will be learning about the history of your joining countries."

"In 1925, a war happened between the Paris Kingdom and the Dupain Kingdom. The kings placed a truce after a long year of fighting. They said, 'To keep this truce, in 100 years the princess and prince highest in line for each country shall marry.' You two just happened to be the lucky ones who get to carry the truce through the rest of our lives. As you know, once you are crowned king and queen you shall move to your castle, Prince Adrien. You may come and visit your parents whenever you please, Princess Marinette."

"Miss. Natalie? Being the curious princess I am, do the prince and princess marry every 100 years or is it just us?"

"Good Question, your highness. It is just you two. I know it's a bit unusual, but it's true. You two are going to go for a 2 hour long date to get to know one another better." We nod. A 2 hour date? We head out and start outside.

"So...what should I know about you?" I ask him as we start walking. "I am 20 years old."

"I'm 19, almost 20 in a week."

"Really?" I nod. "Hey...um...Adrien?" He looks at me. "Hmm?"

"Did you ever have a girlfriend...like before the Arranged Marriage thing?" He shook his head. "I was informed at a young age that my wife would be chosen for me. I was allowed to date, I just didn't want to."

"I was never told that my husband would be chosen for me. I wish I had." I really wish I had. I do miss Luka, but I'm starting to see how good Arranged Marriage thing isn't so bad. We sat down at the fountain. We looked at each other, it was awkward. Neither of us said anything. He leaned close to me and before I knew it, he kissed me. Once he realized what he did, he jerked himself back. "Oh my gosh...I'm so sorry!"

"It's totally fine." I hear a rattle in the bushes. I turn around and see Luka. "Luka?" He ran up to me and hugged me. I pushed him back. "I'm sorry Luka...were not engaged anymore. You can't just come up and hug me." He was hurt. "So? Your seriously going to listen to everyone else and marry this idiot?" He started to shout. I stood up. "He is not an idiot! How dare you say that! He never did anything to you..."

"Yea...except take the love of my life." Adrien stood up. "Listen. Stop. Don't insult me." Luka pushed Adrien. Adrien pushed him back. "Both of you stop!" I shouted. "I'm sorry Luka. We can't be together. Please leave."

"But, Mari..."

"I said LEAVE!" I pointed to his car. "Fine. Can I at least have the ring back?" I reached into my pocket, YES pocket! I pulled out the ring. "Here." He took it and walked away. I turn to Adrien. "I'm so sor-" I was interupted by a hug. "No, I'm sorry." He backed away and looked into my eyes. "You didn't deserve any of this. Just yesterday, you were engaged to him and now well...you engaged to me..."

For the rest of our date, we laughed and talked non-stop, something I never experienced with Luka. We're Adrien and I falling in love already? We just met yesterday...

°Adrien's P.O.V°

I am in love with the girl. I want to marry her, well I already am. My father stated that I am going to propose tomorrow, and the wedding would be in 2 months. I picked out a diamond ring that wasn't too flashy, but still looked nice.

After the wedding, we were to move back to my Castle. I'm not sure why though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is the day I'm going to propose. I was nervous. I knew she had to say yes, but still. Plus, it was going to be live streamed for all of the many countries.

When she came down to breakfast this morning, she looked gorgeous. She wore a light, flowy long white skirt that ended just above her ankle. She wore a red off the shoulder top and she had a brown belt that wrapped around her small waist. Her hair up in a bun and she had sparkles in it. She wore 7 inch high heels. How in the world does she walk in those?

She sat down next to me and everyone began to eat. I placed my hand on top of hers. She blushed and smiled at me. I love that girl so dang much. Our parents looked at each other and smiled. When the meal was done, I guided her outside. Hidden cameras were everywhere. I led her to the fountain where I had kissed her the day before. I looked at her and got down on one knee. She wasn't expecting it, she thought we were already engaged. To be honest, before I was told I was going to propose I thought the same thing. She gasped.

"Princess Marinette Dupain-Cheng...will you marry me?" She nods. I stand up slide the ring on her finger and she kisses me. Kisses me! I kiss her back. Everyone cheers. We were now officially engaged!
