Royals~ Chapter 1

Kendall's POV:

"Kendall Donald Knight, I swear to god that if you don't have someone picked out for marriage by midnight, there will be a choosing made by me and I'm sure you won't enjoy who I'm picking" my mom tells me for the hundredth time. I mean doesn't she ever get tired of saying that. It's not like she's the one getting betrothed.

I am the beloved prince of Leriath, a beautiful kingdom ruled by my mother, Jennifer Knight. My father is no longer in the picture since he died when I was only four years old. I remember having some good times with him, but not enough to fill the void of my pain, or the whole kingdoms either.

My father was an excellent king. He was never selfish or a tyrant, he always ruled with passion and caringness. I have to say, it's going to be hard filling in the role myself.

Along with my mom I also have a baby sister named Katherine, or just Katie for short. She is 16 as to where I am 18, at an exact age to be married. Katie doesn't even have to worry about that for two more years, so not fair.

"I promise i'll have one by the end of the day, just as soon as Logan comes back with a list." I huff out in annoyance.

I roll my eyes and continue to play my video games. It's not like there's anything else to do, considering my best friend Logan Mitchell is out in the village looking for anyone who has beauty beyond compare. I make him look for me because I'm too lazy to do it myself and more importantly I'm not interested.

Both men and women throw themselves at me so I would just need to pick one and be done with it, but at the same time I want someone who could actually give me pleasure.

Back to Logan though, he's been my best friend since pretty much birth. Both of our kingdoms are close friends so we always got to see each other and that's how the friendship grew.

Logan is a scrawny little guy. Not trying to offend him or anything, but he is seriously skinny. He has dark brown eyes that compliment his pale looking skin tone perfectly. Along with his spiky dark brown hair that never seems to be flat.

Logan is also the most nerdy guy you will ever meet. He's a brainiac, but he still has some good fun moments in him, it just takes someone like me to bring that side out.

I have to say that I might've even considered him or my marriage, but he's already betrothed to Carlos Peña, a villager from his kingdom.

I met the guy and I have to say he's way too energetic, even for me. Along with his dark brown eyes that gleam with mischief, I don't know how Logan plans on controlling that one. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Today I knew that I finally had to make up my mind and that if I didn't my mom would and I definitely don't want that so I made sure Logan comes back with at least one possible candidate.

"No, not Logan Kendall, you! You need to go out there right now and pick someone to marry or I will decide for you now!" she says, as she points towards that castle gates.

I let out a large sigh and get up from my cotton couch, which I must say is very comfortable. "Fine!" I say as I storm out of the video game room and rush up the stairs towards my room, or should I say suite.

I immediately make my way towards my walk in closet and start to search for something, anything to wear. It's not like people care about what I wear, hell I could be wearing a cardboard box and they would still throw themselves at me.

I grab out a green V-neck and some dark black jeans to go with the shirt. I also take my black and green vans from the closet and start getting dressed. I didn't want to go through the hassle of getting into formal dressing so this will have to do. After my coronation formal wear is all I'll be able to wear either way.

After stripping myself of my lying around clothes, I switched into my outfit and made my way towards the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth out. Afterwards taking some green mint mouthwash and gurgling it down my throat before spitting it back out. It burned in my mouth a bit, but I just rinsed my mouth with a bit of water to make some of the burning sensation fade, which thankfully it did.

I looked into the mirror and saw that my dirty blond hair was sticking up at all odd angles. I got a brush out and splashed some water on my hair before brushing it backwards. Then applying some gel to make sure it stayed in place as well as a bit of hair spray for good measure. I don't want to have a hair malfunction in front of all my future peasants after all.

It's probably rude to call them peasants, but that is what they are after all. They are the people who bow down to each one of my desires so it's sorta hard to not think of them with any other phrase.

I let out a sigh as I exit the bathroom and dry my face off with a towel and throw it on the floor. Someone will pick it up eventually, after all that's what servants are for.

"I'll be back once I found who I want" I say as I pass my mother's room. I hear an okay and make my way towards the castle doors. Once I get there I greet the guard and exit the castle grounds.

Normally I would have guards all around me, but I guess mother told them that it wasn't necessary for where I was going. That means that I'll actually have to talk to the people, ew. I'm not saying that they're disgusting or anything, but sometimes they just annoy the fuck out of me.

As I make my way down the streets people are already starting to notice my appearance. I should've known that I wouldn't even last two seconds, is it really that much to ask for? Oh well, looks like it's time to put on that prince charming smile and find myself a man or woman, whoever grabs my attention the most.

It's actually interesting how nobody really cares if I marry a man or woman, I still find it weird, though I'm not saying I wouldn't marry a guy cause I find Logan attractive, so that say's something at least. It means that at least im not totally against the idea, and as shown my mother doesn't either, as long as I get married. I wonder if she would even care if I just picked a rock and married it, probably not as long as I go through with the marriage.

As I finally get the energy to smile, more and more people start to crowd my walk way. Not being directly in front of me, but still too close for my liking. I guess this would be a perfect time to start the search.

The more I look through the crowd, the more disappointed I am. I mean come on is it really that hard to find someone that's the least bit attractive. Do I really have to stand up on a chair or something just to be able to see better.

I then notice that people are also crowding on the other side of the streets. I actually am a bit interested so I make my way over to see what the commotion is about, but once I do see what it is, I wished I didn't come over at all.

There standing in the middle of the crowd is Jett Stetson, the largest asshole in the world. For one main reason, that being that his family and my family shear this kingdom. Apparently both our blood lines built this kingdom from the ground, which caused there to be two royal families, The Stetsons and The Knight's. This meaning that our families shared the castle, which in turned caused me to have to grow up with that son of a bitch.

He is the most arrogant and jerkish asshole in the entire mother fucking world. Why can't he just jump off a cliff, that would honestly make my life easier.

Not to mention that my people love him just as much as me just for the simple fact that he was handsome, which even I will admit that it's true. Still that doesn't make me like him anymore than enough to not punch him in the face when I see him in the halls of the castle.

"Well well, if it isn't Kendall Knight. Now what in god's green earth are you doing here at this fine hour?" Jett said, while looking at me with his signature smirk. Of course this had no effect on me because I have already seen his bitchy side, a side none of these people have seen and will probably never meet because Jett wouldn't allow that. The people quickly made a path for us to walk through, but of course I just stood there and waited for him to come to me.

"Well as you know, coronation day is close by so my mother thought that this would be a good time to finally pick my lovely fiancé' from among my people. Question is what are you doing here?" I said, as I crossed my arms over my chest and gave him the fakest smile I could paste on my face without looking as though I was constipated.

"Funny you should say that, considering I was doing the same thing" Jett said, while grinning.

"Well then I wish you the best of luck" I said, while dropping my arms and reaching my hand out.

"As to you" he said, while shaking my hand, his icy blue eyes saying something entirely different, but I couldn't judge considering mine were probably saying the same thing, game on!

Crash!

Suddenly, I felt something crash into me and I fell to the floor along with Jett.

James' POV:

"James get to work!" my mom said as she entered my room and started to shake me until I woke up. I opened my eyes to see my mother dressed in her rags as usual.

Her usually bright hazel eyes, dull and lifeless, been the same for a while now. Her pale skin looking so fragile from so much overworking done by her. Not that we could live any other way considering our situation.

The kingdom has been like this ever since King Robert Knight died. I don't remember him much since I was only 5 when he died, but I sure do remember how my mother's smile was brighter, how her eyes had more life and color in them, how she had her tan skin, so beautiful. Not only that but she looks as skinny as a stick from not eating enough, her giving me her food is not helping that cause. She claims that I need it more if I want to "impress" the royal prince's and get a chance of becoming their husband. She used to have a perfectly curved body and a gorgeous heap of light brown locks. Now she has none of it, thanks to those fucking royal families.

It's like they don't give a single fuck about the village just because they're rich, but they need to understand that not everybody can live like them. It angers me to no end how they think they can just smile and wave and the people would be happy. Do they not live exactly like us, or are they living better.

I think not considering the conditions of the old, run down houses at every turn you take. Are the royal families really that fucking blind?! I feel extremely bad for whoever gets chosen to marry the two prince's, though those two would probably be crying with joy seeing as whenever the prince's come around they basically throw themselves at them. I'll never understand their reasoning, other than the obvious riches and the "handsome" husband. I'm not trying to say that they're not handsome cause they are, but not enough to make me practically maul everyone who tries to touch them before me, im serious, I've seen it happening, it's a shame really.

I get up from my dirty, run down mattress and nod at my mother before fixing up the bed and heading towards the bathroom. It isn't very far since this is a very tiny home, but it's the only affordable place at the moment.

The paint on the walls is all scratched up and filled with holes. The floor being all creaky and some of the wooden boards risen. As well as many holes in the ceiling, which means rainy days aren't exactly a blast.

I wash my face with the water from the water filled bucket. We can't even afford to have running water which means everyday I have to go to the lake and fill up about five full buckets of water, the lake being on the other side of the kingdom, and bringing it back home to my mother. Not only that, but I also have to work for some pervert down by the blacksmith store to help out with the spendings. These working days are the ones I dread the most, the bucket thing not so much, but the harassment from my boss is seriously getting on my last nerve. I can never say anything though because if I do I'll get fired and we really can't afford me not having a job. Times like these are hard.

I look at my reflection in the mirror and see my mother all over again, well some parts at least. For instance, my bright hazel eyes aren't as bright anymore, but my skin is still tan from all the working in the sun. My hair is the same light brown color, only my locks are silkier than hers and thinner. My body shape is in total a completely different story than hers as well. I have rippling arm muscles, gotten by all my hard work, and a flat stomach, but not from being skinny, it's actually from working out and gaining an 8-pack. It really helps when trying to get something you want from a lady, just turn on my Diamond charm and the rest is history.

I brush my teeth with some worn out toothbrush and strip myself of my dirty, ragged clothes. I step into a small tub and take a bucket of water with me.

I pour some of the water onto my skin and start to rub my body with some soap, or what's left of it at least. After getting my body all soaped up I pick up the bucket and dump the water above my head and make sure no soap remains on my body as I step out from the tub and grab the towel on top of the sink. I rub the towel all over my body until I'm completely dry, then dry my hair while styling it at the same time.

I tried my best to make sure my hair would stay still, but it's not really worth it in the end since I'm going to get all sweaty anyways, but it feels good to look presentable for at least one minute a day. Though im not sure that's a problem since whenever I walk down the street I always see people gazing at me and them actually coming up to me and telling me I'm hot, but I never pay attention to any of it since I don't really have time to start a family.

I grab some blue boxer-briefs and slip them up my legs and past my thighs until its securely covering my lower regions. Then I take out some shorts since today was about 90 degrees outside, meaning I'm so not taking a shirt with me today. Of course that means more molesting from my boss, but that also means more stares from admire's.

After tugging up the shorts, which fit me a bit tight if I do say so myself, I make my way towards the tiny space that had our fridge and took out a small slice of bread to gobble down before heading out. As I finished the bread my mother entered the "kitchen" and started to wash some dishes from the night before.

"So, I heard that both prince's are out here in the village today looking for their future king or queen" my mom said, as she finished up the small amount of dishes in the sink and sat down in front of me. I rolled my eyes at the thought of someone actually getting chosen to marry the arrogant jerks that are the prince's.

"Mom you know how much I dislike them, so why do you always try to get me to get their attention" I say, saying this for the millionth time since the prince's started to look for their future partner.

"Because son, think of how much better we would live if you get married to either one of them. As well as all the influence you can on them as on what to do to better this kingdom" my mom said, the same comeback as always.

"The problem is them, not the kingdom and you know how much I would love for us to live better, but I will not marry some self-absorbed, arrogant prick" I said, my voice going soft in the beginning, but ending up with venom lacing through the words.

"Fine, but at least consider it, please" she said in a soft tone. I just nodded and gave her a small smile, but we both knew that would never happen.

I stood up and left the house after saying goodbye to my mother and grabbing a tank top for a sweat rag and hanging it onto the front of my shorts. Days like these I have to carry something around to gather up all the mustered up sweat on my face and body. At the same time it feels to feel all the sweat dripping down, letting me know of all the hard work done that day. I grab two of the buckets laying down across the floor in front of the house and make my way towards the lake.

Making way back towards the house is getting a bit harder since all the villagers think it's a good idea to just crowd certain spots, no doubt in my mind what it's all about. As I walk down the street I can see people staring at one certain spot and I just roll my eyes, already knowing what all the commotion was about. its like a pack of wild pigeons fighting over the last two pieces of bread crumbs. It's not that I can blame them though, considering that they could essentially become the next ruler of this barren kingdom. All I know is that if it was up to me, this kingdom would be prosperous and gleaming with joy, colors everywhere, houses nicely built, and best of all, no hunger on any street corner.

Once I reach a small opening for me to be able to walk through, I speed up a bit, not wanting to stay there for long, as well as the fact that i still have at least three more buckets to fill before having this part of the day completed. Suddenly there were more people starting to get in my way so I struggled getting through until they fixed it for by making this the most embarrassing moment of my life.

I was pushed towards the center of all the commotion, causing me to trip and crash towards the pavement, dragging down both prince's with me and a wave of water that covered all three of us from head to toe. I landed straight dab in the middle of the two, facing the pavement, while they both had their backs to the ground.

I opened my eyes to see the ground was soaking wet. Fuck, now I have to do all this shit again just because people can't keep still when those two idiots are around. I let out a sigh and push myself off the ground with my palms to the floor. As soon as I stand up i'm met with two fuming prince's, lord help me on this day, was all I could think of right now.

Though when they first see me their expressions grow soft, well that's weird. Normally they would be having whoever did that to them on the floor with all their screaming. Unless that is that they actually like the person, and if that's the case then just kill me now.

Its been like two minutes of them just standing there, practically drooling over me, which you don't see very often from a prince, actually you never see that. Guess i'm affecting them more that in thought possible, and others as well. I can feel all of the people's glares at me, knowing that now stand no chance because of me, but little do they know that they still do since I would never in a million years say to yes to marrying one of these idiots.

I can see their eyes roam my body, along with all the other people surrounding the area. Who can blame them really, but it doesn't get any easier to stand. I finally decide that this is just getting annoying so I pick up the buckets lying on the ground, but just as I'm about to walk away two voices stop me, to which I only roll my eyes at.

"Hey" both Kendall and Jett say at the same time, though their voices not filled with rage, just curiosity, probably about who I am since I didn't even say sorry after the incident that just occurred. I know I should've probably said it, but I don't specifically care about the Royal family, so if it was up to they would just stand there and let me walk way. I turn around to face them and almost burst out into a fit of laughter at how ridiculous they look. Both their clothes are covered in dirt, along with their faces, and their hair is priceless, all filled with mud, covering their faces with their dampness.

They both wipe their faces and remove the hair that covered their faces, probably trying to clear their view a little. Maybe that's why they were just staring at me, probably seeing something that wasn't there. I couldn't help but let out a giggle at how ridiculous they looked.

"Yes" I say as they finish tidying themselves up though they didn't look that much better if I do say so myself.

"Whats your name" Jett said, as he sent me a smirk and a wink. HA! Like I would ever fall for that, does he seriously think I'm a dumbass anybody who would just throw myself at him, well if he did then he has another thing coming.

"Umm, that's none of your business" I say with the same smirk plastered to my face. I heard a few people gasp as well as seeing Jetts smirk falter and a smirk form on Kendall's face, wow it's like you kill one and then the other one attacks.

"How about you tell me then" Kendall says. I roll my eyes and drop my buckets to the floor to be able to cross my arms over my chest.

"Now why on gods green earth would I do that" I say in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Well maybe cause I am the Prince of Leriath and something extremely awesome will happen if you do" Kendall says, can they seriously not take a hint I mean it doesn't take Sherlock to figure out that I'm not interested.

"Oh yeah, and what would that be" I say.

"That would be you becoming my lovely fiance'" Jett says, as he takes a step forward.

"No, you would be my fiance'" Kendall says, stepping forward as well. The villagers start to stare at me, probably waiting for me to pick one of the two prince's, well what a surprise they'll get. I was getting ready to respond when a voice sounding oddly familiar stopped me.

"James what's happening here" I hear my mother say from behind me. She has a confused expression on her face, not like I could blame her considering the situation standing before her eyes.

"Oh, nothing mom, just the fact that these two prince's both asked me to marry them" I said, my voice clearly showing how bored I was with this conversation.

"James' mom if please, I would love to take your son's hand in marriage if you allow it" Jett said, as he looked towards where my mother was standing.

"No no, I am the one who would like to take your son's hand in marriage" Kendall says as he stepped towards my mother. My moms expression already told me that there was no getting out of this one. This was the only chance that we had to live a better life, but did this seriously have to be the only way. My mom gave me a knowing look that said you better say yes or else.

" So who do you pick James" my mom said while glancing over at me. Both Kendall and Jett walked over to me, standing right in front of me.

I swear these Royals will be the death of me!

The End~

So what did you guys think of this chapter. It took me about 2 hours to get this done though there still might be some errors here and there. What do you guys think of the plot so far? Should I continue it? Also who should James pick to get married with? Kendall or Jett? Or should he just deny all of it despite his mother's warning?
