Hey Guys! This is my First Fanfiction so... yeah! Haha I hope you enjoy. Please Review! I would love to hear from you guys!
"Princess Emmalina!"
I snap my head off my desk and wipe off the small piece of paper that was stuck to my cheek. At the doorway Silvia stands with her arms crossed and a very disappointed look on her face.
"Sorry Silvia, but if you didn't want me to take a nap, maybe you should have my maids wake me up at 6:00 in the morning," I proclaim. She gives me a smug look and just shakes her head.
"The King and Queen are patiently waiting in their suite to see you." And then she finally walks away.
Oh no, not another selection meeting. Every time I talk to my parents about my upcoming selection it always ends in one of us storming out of the room, with nobody accomplishing anything. I stand up and straighten the imaginary creases on my light green day dress, push the stands of dusty blonde hair out of my eyes and pick up the papers that I was trying to work on. Walking down the corridor and heading to the grand staircase, I chose the long way purposely, I see the picture hanging of our family. My mom, my dad, my younger brother and myself. Andrew, my brother, was three when that was taken. Now he is sixteen and flirting with everything and anything known to man. I smile when I remember when Andrew tried to court the Queen of France's daughter, Olivia. She was clearly taken aback that he would talk to her in such a manner, so she poured her drink over his head. Thinking about the memory, I almost fall over the first step.
But someone catches me
"I'm sorry Princess," says the guard
"Oh no, Officer—"
"Ledger, Christopher Ledger, your Majesty."
I look up at him and see his striking green eyes. They captivate me in a way that I can't seem to fathom. It's like they were supposed look into mine.
"Thank you, Officer Ledger, not only for your kindness but for your generosity," I say as regal as possible.
"All in a day's work, Princess Emmalina," He replies with a slight laugh to his voice.
"Please Sir, call me Emma"
He smiles back at me as says, "Well than, all in a day's work, Emma."
I start up the stairs to my parent's bedroom and I feel like I'm on cloud nine. I don't know what could possibly have me feeling this way. It most certainly cannot be Christopher, I cannot be falling in love with a guard two weeks away from my selection. I ignore the thought as I approach the very last door on the third floor.
"Deep breaths Em, deep breaths. You can do this." I whisper
Then I knock.
Sorry for such a short chapter. I promise that the next one will be longer!
Happy Reading
