Changing Love

Chapter 1 (^o^)

"Welcome, soldiers of Albion. I wanted you all to celebrate with family and friends to raise our spirits as a unified country" Logan said on the balcony of the castle."Follow me to the garden, soldiers" he said before turning to go inside to lead the way to the garden that most didn't know existed because King Logan didn't seem to be the flower type of guy.

We followed our tyrant of a king through the castle doors. Everyone looked around for a split second before walking to the left following the king down a hall and down some steps to the kitchen and out to the garden. All of the soldiers spread through out the garden to find families and friends that were waiting for us. I decided to look at my surroundings since I had no family here.

After talking with some fellow soldiers in the main part of the garden which surrounds the royal catacombs that holds the former Queen of Albion and her king, I walked up a set of steps to find Major Swift and Walter talking. I walked up to them to join their conversation about some random subject.

"Ben, there you are I was wondering when you would show up" Walter said with a smirk."Nice to see you to Walter, how's life in the castle working out for you" I said with a smirk."You know it's great I spend everyday waiting for something exciting to happen" he said rolling his eyes at me."Well it's better then getting stationed at a fort sitting in mud waiting" I said with a pout on my face.

Swift and Walter burst out laughing from my statement."What, why are you laughing at me for" I said trying to keep my pout but failed and started laughing."Shut up, Ben" Walter said."Hey, Walter I bet I can drink more than you" I said with a playful smirk on my face."Doubt it, Ben I can hold my liquor like you could never believe" Walter said with a huge grin."Your on, Walter" I said with a huge smirk.

A few months earlier

"Rena, Princess Rena wake up, Elliot wants to talk to you" Jasper said while opening the curtain to let in the horrid light."Ok, Jasper thank you for telling me" I yawned still not wide awake."Who is under those covers with you, that is highly inappropriate for a princess" he said while pulling off my covers to reveal my dog, Collin, who jumped out of bed to try and lick Jasper.
I giggled and got up to change.

I decided on my practical princess outfit. Jasper didn't agree on my choice of clothes, but I didn't care. I hurried out of my room ignoring the guards' bow I skipped down the steps to our usual meeting spot which was looking out on Bowerstone Industrial.
Collin ran up to Elliot trying to lick him. I giggled and Elliot laughed."Hello, Elliot. What did you want to tell me" I asked."I wanted to tell you that I spoke to your brother..." he said."About what" I asked."About asking your hand in marriage like I was promised when we first met" he told me."Oh, what did Logan say, will he honor the promise" I said with a hopeful smile."He told me that he will honor it" he said.I smiled when he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.

"Rena, when I first met you I didn't expect you to be adventurous and a proper lady. I expected a snobby girl, but I was totally wrong. I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you even if you were snobby which your not. I knew then and I know now that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Rena, will you marry me" he said."Yes, I will marry you Elliot. I love you" I said when he pulled me into the sweetest kiss a girl could ask for."We have to go tell Walter and Logan. Come on" I said while grabbing his hand and dragging him of the nobles were giggling that a princess was dragging a guy with her to go inside.

Back at the party...

Walter, Swift and I were laughing when all of the sudden a girl in an elegant dress walked up to join us."You know, Walter, you shouldn't bet on drinking again. You'll give yourself a bloody hangover" the mystery girl said surprising us.
We all turned towards her and when I saw her I fell in love at first sight, she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. I had no idea who she was, but I will make sure I find out who she is.
"Well, I'll have you to help with that" Walter said with a hopeful smile."Nope, I'm not helping you with a hangover plus you're suppose to be helping me practice, but no your here drinking with soldiers. You know the funny thing is no one told me we were having a party, but I woke up to all this noise from my nap" the mystery girl was the cutest pout I have ever seen in my life."Well, this party wasn't my idea, I'm here because the king is here" Walter said to the lady.

"Yeah, well he could have told me, now what am I suppose to do if the garden is full of soldiers and I can't practice" she said sadly."I guess you could take another nap, miss" Swift said."No, I can't it's too noisy out here to take a nap, but thank you for the idea, good sir" she said."Rena, there you are I've been looking for you" a nobleman said walking up to the mystery woman."Oh, well I was talking with Walter, Elliot. I didn't even know that there was going to be a party in the garden today" Rena said."Oh, if it makes you feel any better I didn't know either" Elliot said with a smile."Nope, it doesn't make me feel better" she said pouting to Elliot."How about this" he said hugging her from behind by the waist and kissing her cheek.

I was about to beat the shit out of this Elliot guy for touching a lady without permission, but I didn't get a chance...
"Rena, stop with the lovey dovey crap it makes me sick, nobody wants to see that shit" King Logan said walking to us with four of his personal guards close behind him.
Everyone turned towards us and the king. Elliot quickly let go of Rena and moved like three feet away which made me almost burst out laughing which earned me a glare from Walter and Swifty."Well Logan, I'll do what I want in the garden because you didn't tell me about your party which ruined my plans with Elliot" she said strutting to Logan with a playful smirk."Dear sister, I don't have to tell you my plans because I am king and it isn't princess like to show public affection" Logan said.

This beautiful woman with shoulder length red hair and dazzling blue eyes is related to this monster of a king. She looks so innocent, I was in total shock like Swift and and all of the other soldiers."Well brother, it would be inappropriate if it was a random guy off the street, but it's not only our best friend from childhood, it's my fiancé" she said with a death glare.

She has a fiancé, no it can't be true she's taken by this snobby noble. What do I do now that the girl I'm in love with is engage?
