The sun shines bright through the castle windows of my bedroom. I sat on the edge of the bed looking out the window to the green grass thinking, "This day can't get anymore perfect". Well, until the maids came walking in the door all panicked.
"What's going on Tracy?"
"Your highness, you're requested in the thrown room as soon as possible"
As I get up,Tracy, the head maid, gets the other maids to get my clothes and told them:
"Get his highness ready quickly"
One thing led to another, and I'm on my way down to the thrown room to meet my parents.
"You called mother and father?"
Both of them looked at me then looked back at each other like they knew something I won't like then my mother spoke:
"darling we have some news that might upset you a bit..."
"I will try not to be upset mom."
Suddenly my father jumped in with a tone he never used on me which sent shivers down my spine,
"Well son, you need to get married to become king in a few months."
I paused and looked at my father's face try to see if he was joking, but he wasn't he was completely serious. I took a deep breath and with as much courage as I can get I responded:
"Ok father, what do you suggest?"
My father looked at me in shock like he saw a ghost or something, but he took a deep breath and continued:
"Well your mother and I have chosen one girl each that we think you will like so you have six months to pick between the two girls"
I looked at both of my parents in shock. It was just so fast that they put me in this, but they were right. My dad is not getting any younger, and he was planning on stepping down near the winter festival. I don't know if I was comfortable about this but it might be fun....right?
"Ok Mother and Father I accept."
They both looked at my with glee I was happy to make them smile. Let's just hope I at least like one of these girls.
