He stiffened, staring at his mother in shock. Sure it had been a little weird that he’d been asked to accompany his parents to visit Corona and then been told to dress in his full-blown Royal attire….but he’d thought nothing of it really. He was after all a prince and had royal obligations to fulfill, yet this one, this was not one he’d been expecting. Mouth hanging slightly open as his mother not only concluded her little speech but then left with Lily’s parents to give them some privacy he stared as the door closed behind them.
Mind reeling for a few moments he then slowly turned back to his….future bride….He and Lily had become close friends over the past few months leading to her 18th birthday. She was one of the few girls that didn’t throw themselves at him and he could be himself around her. In truth, he’d even written her a song that he was going to release on her birthday for her. But marriage?
Blinking for a moment he finally managed to say. “I swear I had no idea this was why I’m here….”
Lily had come down into the room with her parents, dressed in one of her more formal dresses for when they had royal company over. she’d kinda zoned out during the speeches, not really happy about being pulled away from her studies. until she heard something resembling you two are going to be married and she snapped out of it, wondering how much important stuff she’d actually missed?
“Well this is an elaborate practical joke if I’ve ever heard one.” Lily laughs, her mind trying to process the shock of it all. she’d had no idea they were going to spring this on her on her 18th birthday of all times, though she was guessing this had been in the works for years.
“Well my girlfriend isn’t going to be happy about it...I can tell you that much” she sighed and ran her fingers through her curls, she had been dating someone kind of on the quiet since she’d started at university. she didn’t throw herself at him because she’d had no reason to, or a good reason not to depending on how one wanted to look at it.
But if she had to do this, she’d rather be with her close friend than some random, right?
