Before I start this chapter. I wanted to let you all know, so you aren't confused. This takes place in like I don't even know. It's kind of more of a fairytale sort of thing. So, no they don't have phones and indoor plumbing and things like that. (Unless you're rich.) So, just to say so it isn't confusing for anyone.

Anyways, read on and please share the story and comment and vote. 

Love you all!!

"Cute as a button, every single one of you!"

Chapter 2:

"Wake up! We need to get a move on son, before it gets too late. We are expected at the castle in an hour so come on. Up, up, up!"

"Mmmm" I groan. I hate mornings. I hate having to leave my warm, cozy sheets. I hate having to actually physically get up. I just hate it all. Plus, I always have to wake up early in the morning so we have more time to work. At least that's what my dad says. But I know that's just a load of rubbish.

Anyways, today is the day where we get to go to the castle and work for the king and prince. While the prince is snogging every maiden to see who's the better kisser, I reckon.

"Hurry up, we don't want to be late." My dad says while pulling off my covers. A hiss comes out from the bottom of my throat while the cold moves up onto me covering my whole body until I'm shivering.

"I know dad but give me back my blanket. S' cold in here."

"A little cold won't kill you,"

"Wrong. Cold can kill you. If your body gets to a low enough temperature then you could die." I mutter. 

"Did you say something?" He eyes me suspiciously.

"No" I bat my eyes innocently. 

"Anyways, also put on your best clothes too. We don't want to look too shabby."

"Alright dad. Now can you give me my blanket so I can get dressed?"

"Urm, sure. Here, now hurry up."

I quickly seize the blanket and fall back onto my bed with my blanket. I land with a thump. I groan just thinking about having to go to another meet and match with some snobby rulers.

I finally get off my bed and find my clothes. I pull on some dark jeans and a button up shirt. I quickly style my hair with some water from the pond.

As I am getting water I look at myself through the reflection off of the water. To be honest, i'm quite disgusted with what I see. I see a boy with dirty brown hair, boring blue eyes, and a plain face.

"Checking yourself out there, are you?" A voice from behind says, startling me. I quickly turn around to see Liam.

I'll admit he is handsome but not my type. He has light brown hair and warm brown eyes.

"You gave me a scare, mate. I almost about fell in the pond"

"Sorry Louis, I was just wondering what you're up to. Are you going to the king's dance tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm going with my dad and we are going to help clean and cook like we usually do. Are you going?"

"No, just the thought of going makes me bored out of my mind. But, i'm gonna stay here and probably hang with Niall. But have fun tonight."

"Yeah, you too with whatever you're doing with Niall."

"Yeah, i'll have fun with whatever i'm doing with Niall." He winked.

I raised my eyebrows suspiciously. He didn't seem to notice. 

Liam then flashed a smile with his perfect, white teeth and turned around back towards his house.

"Strange" I muttered under my breath so he wouldn't hear.

I peaked another glance at my reflection. 

"That'll have to do." I say to myself. I quickly stood up, brushing off my pants before turning to my house to get ready to leave to the castle.
