Fake Love

Part-1 The News

I woke to my butler shaking me awake.

"Raven! The prince is here, you need to get ready!, he said in a rushed manner.

I wave him off then say, "Five more minutes..."

"We're aren't doing this today Ms. Yokas. This is the most important day of your life.", he said sternly like how my father would.

How is this the most important day of my life? Are we going to find my new favorite food, if so then this really is the most important day of my life., I remarked back.

I grinned at him and he chuckled.

"No today you're meeting your husband!", he exclaimed excitingly.

I felt my smile immediately fall.

~Marcus's POV~

We were approaching the castle's doorsteps. I didn't want to meet this snobby princess. She's probably some girly girl who likes to wear pretty dresses.

I have better things to worry about...like for example. ME

We had to get married to unite our kingdoms... It was obvious my father was desperate for the wedding to go well.

Our kingdom was quite poor, and we were basically torturing our people by doing nothing.
The fruit was rotten. We're almost bankrupt as some would say.

Our resources were getting scarce. So my father decided he would send me to "a kingdom far far away" so that I could marry to be a high respected king.

Her name is Rachel? Renee? I dont know I just know when I walk into these doors I'm gonna be presented to this high royalty.

I realized the king and queen were waiting there looking at me worried as I just stood in the doorway.

GREAT JOB MARCUS EMBARASS YOURSELF INFRONT OF THE KING AND QUEEN!

I just smiled politely and walked towards them in my prince posture.

Normally I would slouch and drag my feet or be "unprince like". I wanted to walk right out of there but I knew my dad would disown me.

I wasn't prince like. I was the opposite of the prince expectations.

You're fine Marcus. You're fine Marcus. Those thoughts just kept rushing through my head.

I know it was bad I had some sort of anxiety but I'm standing infront of my future mother-in-law and father-in-law!

Did I really just think that? Gosh darn it Marcus you're so dumb. I was sucked out of my thoughts by someone yelling.

I looked up to the second floor and saw a quite pretty girl rushing towards the stairs.

"FATHER WHAT IS THIS ABOUT MARRIAGE?", she yelled while stumbling down the stairs.

Oh no. About the marriage thing and I'm about to see a girl cry.

She rolled down all the stairs and landed on her bum. The butler rushed to her side to see if she was okay.

"I'm fine David.", she said while waving him off. She got up brushed herself off then looked at her parents.

How did she fall down a flight of stairs and be fine! Who the heck is this weirdo?

"Ms. Yokas did you really have to create a scene infront of our guest?", her mother exclaimed.
