Chapter 1: The Non-refuse able invitation I lean gently against the tree, listening to my best friends chatting as I continue sewing on my elder brother’s torn pants. “Sheridan, are you even listening?” Clare, a girl friend, pokes me in my side gently, pouting. I pause my sewing and look at her.” No, I was focused on fixing these pants” Maria sighs, pointing a finger at me.” We were talking about Prince Rowan looking for women to choose his bride from,” she squeals,” What if you, Clare, or I was chosen?” “I couldn’t careless; a prince is just like any other guy.” I shrug and start sewing it again. My friends whine” You’re no fun, Sheridan.” I roll my eyes, clipping the thread and needle from the pants; the hole in the pants finally …show more content…
His bright blue eyes glisten as he speaks to my formally” Hello, Miss Sheridan.” “What do you want, Joker.” The nickname I call him, causes him to frown as I drop all desire to be formal. He jumps to the front of me and stops, making me stop in my tracks as well. His red locks fall into his face” Aw, Sai why do you always have to be like this when I adore you so much.” “I really couldn’t careless, Joker,” I walk around him and continue back towards my house,” Good-bye.” “Then care more!” He starts walking after me again. “I wouldn’t be me now, would I?”I growl quietly. He stops” Whoa, look at that; a royal carriage.” I sigh again and stop, looking around to see what he means. There far beyond him is an actual royal carriage, like he said. The carriage is framed in what looks like gold, while the majority of it is white with probably it made out of silk. The carriage itself is pulled by two beautiful, white horses that look like they are out of a fairytale. The man on top of the carriage is pale white, thin, with a big nose that even from here I can see up into. So this is what royal items look like, very snobby. I shake my head and turn to leave in a hurry before whoever is in the carriage can get out; at the exact moment, however, everyone in the village filed out of their vendor stations, houses, and probably even their baths to come see the carriage. Without realizing it, I’m suddenly being turned around by several people that are
He laughs. “I don’t expect you too, but I am thankful you did. How are you feeling?”
“I hear you are taking to your needle well. Even Tilly, who doesn’t like anything, was whispering she would like one of your pieces.”
"I haven't seen him yet," Delia says turning to face me. "Well don't you look gorgeous."
I stared at her in disbelief. “You do know that this completely ruins the whole 'out of the closet' thing I've got going on, right?”
Fredrik then looks over at me, and smiles. "Calm yourself down man, I haven't even started fixing it yet" He says, chuckling slightly.
“Do I get a full jacket out of this at some point?” She asked, sounding like a disappointed kid at
“So, he wouldn’t recognize shoes, or even if he did, he wouldn’t necessarily know how to tie them?” Joanne asked in amazement.
I sarcastically chuckle too, grabbing my journal out of his hands. "Very funny, prick. Don't you have somewhere to be?"
“Well no one asked you to speak, Y/N.” Bellamy responded, not bothering to show you that he was listening to what you were saying and turned around with a smug expression plastered on his face.
“Don’t mention it. Really, don’t. I don’t need the broody one swooping down here like Batman to yell at me about--”
The royal palace of Fidelis was in a greater tizzy than it had been since the celebration of your previous (and failed) betrothal two years ago. And you were much less excited for what was causing it this time around. You had woken up at dawn with a solid feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach once you became cognizant of what would be occurring later in the day. One of the princes of Fidelis’s neighboring kingdoms would be arriving at high noon to begin his courtship. The strong desire to rescind the arrangement, or even your right to the throne filled your heart and mind all throughout breakfast and up until the arrival of the prince. Currently, your maid was escorting you to the main hall of the palace, where you (and you alone) would
"What do you want me for then? I'm just one of his whores." I spat.
He sighed. What have things come to that Mother wants to marry me off to a half-peasant princess who I’ve never heard of before? “Will it make her happy?”
"Well you are a charming bastard." I sit down next to him. "Which is why I hate you!" He brings his hand to his chest pretending to be offended.
“I know exactly what I said, and for some reason it obviously failed to engage.” She spins around on her chair, kicking me out of the way and tears welling in her eyes ready to burst over her reddened cheeks. “Aunt Martha, Aunt Martha,” she shrills.
