I had a daydream about this and started playing around with it. I call this the ultimate crossover because it is a mix of Legend of the Seeker, Vampire Diaries, the book series INKHEART, and One Direction. If you like all of these or one of these then this is the fanfic for you.

Chapter 1: Marriage

"Again, Louis!" laughed Prince Harry. Harry was in the gardens with a drink in his hand and two wenches beside him. He had just returned from the local tavern/brothel and now had his court jester turning tricks for him. "Again!", called out one of the wenches. Harry smiled and kissed her deeply. "You heard her! On with it, mate". Court Jester Louis smiled at the young prince and bowed "Of course your Highness but I think I should stop now for I see the Adderhead coming round the bend." Harry paled but his smile stayed on his face. The Adderhead was Harry's father and the only time he came to see him was when Harry had done something wrong. Harry signaled Louis and the wenches to leave and stood as his father entered the gardens. "Father", Harry stood and bowed as the Adderhead stopped before him. The Adderhead was a cruel unforgiving man of considerable size. He had a way of looking at people that made them cower. He favored Harry one of those looks now. Harry stood ramrod straight and looked his at his father directly in the eyes. He wasn't afraid of his father but he sensed that this visit was different from the others his father had favored him with.

"Father?"

The Adderhead spoke in a cold voice "Enjoying yourself, are you?"

"Immensely", smirked Harry.

"Quite right. Why shouldn't the only son of the Adderhead enjoy himself? What else should the empty-headed boy think of but whores and alcohol and having a horny good time?" No, not of his Kingdom that he will have to rule one day. Not about the skirmishes the Border Lords are having. Not about the impending war with the Laughing Prince"

Harry furrowed his brow. "Skirmishes? Why would the Border Lords fight? We have had peace between Dulwood and the Midlands and Dahara for years."

"Not anymore, son. Ever since the King Boulderal of Dulwood had been assassinated his son Duffendal has been planning an attack on the Daharian Kingdom."

"On Dahara? Why?", asked Harry slightly interested.

"Because he thinks we have had something to do with it." He did not have to mention you idiot; his tone was quite clear.

"And we didn't?", Harry glanced lazily at the Adderhead.

The Adderhead smiled a chilling smile. "That is beside the point, boy. The Dulwood has more resources we do."

"We have stronger warriors".

"We may but does that not mean we will get slaughtered if the Laughing Prince decides to join forces with Dulwood?"

"The Laughing Prince? More like the Prince of Sighs ever since his wife died."

The Adderhead smiled. Even though he was hard on his son, Harry was a clever boy. Strong; born to be a leader, to lead Dahara. He did have his bad points, though; he spent too much time with prostitutes and his court jester. Not to mention Zayn the son of one of his advisers. Didn't he know he was above him?

"The Prince of the Midlands still has a warm heart. He still has his daughter."

"I suppose it's up to us to crush that heart?", laughed Harry. He set down his drink that was still in his hand on the stone bench. "So, a war it is to be?"

"Yes, but another solution comes to mind."

Harry glanced at his father. His tone had changed. It was scary.

"Instead of a war we will join forces with the Laughing Prince. You will marry his daughter, Elena, to enforce the joining of the two kingdoms. "

"What?", Harry said, dumfounded.

"We will go to their castle tomorrow. You will be ready. Pack your bags." The Adderhead exited.

Harry sat down on the bench holding his head between his hands. Marriage? Had the Adderhead lost his mind? To the Laughing Prince's only daughter at that too! "What am I going to do?

...

Elena threw herself down on her bed. It couldn't be true! Would her father really marry her off to the eldest Prince of Dahara?! She heard a soft knock on the door. Her loyal guard Liam entered her chamber, slowly because he shouldn't really be there. "Princess? Are you alright?" Elena dragged herself off the bed, stood straight, and looked to the floor.

"Liam, I wish to be alone."

Liam regarded her with sad eyes. "It is about Niall, isn't it?"

Elena lifted her eyes from the floor. She looked at Liam stonily. "I wish to be alone."

Liam left but not after taking one last look at her and shaking his head.

Did he have to mention Niall? Elena threw herself on the bed again. "Oh my love, my only love." She gasped through her tears "What will happen to us?"
