Authors Note: None of these characters belong to me except for Amelia she is my own creation. Thanks to my friend Laura who gave me the title. Most likely it will be drabbles. But if I get inspired I might make it a chapter by chapter story. And a thanks to a reviewer Zarbi who let me know that it was unreadable. Hopefully this is easier to read. Hope You Enjoy The Story!
It was that day again. The day where during a wedding that was being prepared the royals could go to the villages and the Princesses needed an escort. Amelia waited patiently to see what would happen, but she knew what would happen every year. No one would come to her. They wouldn't go to her because she was the last in line to get the crown. it'd be a long shot. Not that Amelia wanted the crown at all but that's all the princes cared about, Henry was the oldest so he would get it, but then Eva and Wendy were both older than her. She just stayed there smiling at people being paired off. When it was over she looked to her parents to make sure she could be excused. The years before her Father would take it upon himself to take her out to the villages but she was 16 now and as much as she loved her Father was it too much to ask for one person to at least escort her one time. It's not like it was a binding marriage agreement. She got back to her room and told her guards she didn't want to see anyone. She looked at herself in the mirror and steeled herself for the days ahead. She was absolutely happy for Henry and Grace, but sometimes she just wished that she wasn't so far from the crown. Was it wrong of her to want love? Was it wrong of her to want to go to the village for one day of being escorted?
King Baelfire and Queen Emma's Chambers
The King and Queen were getting ready to go to bed but before they did their guards said there was a man named Sebastian outside to see them. They looked at each other it was a visiting King's illegitimate son. Not that they cared about his legitimacy, they did know he and Amelia had been talking. "Send him in" Emma said as she wrapped a robe around herself.
Sebastian came in and kneeled "I'm sorry to bother you so late your grace. I wanted to ask your permission for something.
Emma instructed Sebastian to stand up "Stand up, What is your query?"
"I would like to know if it was alright for me to escort your youngest to the village tomorrow."
Emma and Baelfire looked at each other "Why did you not go to her earlier; During the festivities?
"Your Grace, I didn't think it would be prudent. As I'm sure you know Amelia has been a gracious host to all of us and to me especially. I know that Princes do not usually engage her because of her number in line for the crown. I did not want to see anyone ignore her because a Bastard asked for permission to escort her."
Baelfire spoke up "While we do appreciate that, we have no qualms about what people call you, we care about how a person treats our daughter. It is not fair of people to put the sin on you that is not your fault. You did not ask to be born to the Mistress of your King. " Looking at his wife for conformation "If Amelia is okay with you escorting her to the village, then we give our permission as well."
