A Kingdom I Love
Declaimer: I do not own anything. But you already knew that didn't you.
A/N: So…I've been reading a lot of historical fiction mostly by Philippa Gregory lately and then read 'A King for the Throne' by 'Cwalk' (its really good I suggest reading it.) and this is what happened. I decided to be evil and turn Logan into a girl and have him related to Griffin and Mercedes. So enjoy and thank you. ~ Raina.

Chapter one: The King
~The Sun Palace~
The new King, Kendall Knight of the South, was enjoying the festivities before him. This was his eighteenth birthday and as soon as he married he would become king. After his father died when he was ten he knew he would become King. His mother dowager queen Jen Knight (1) had ruled for him for the last eight years but he knew she was ready to step down so he would take over.
"So how do you feel, now being a man?" His brother-in-law and closes friend Archduke James Diamond asked.
"Aren't you supposed to be annoying your wife, my sister?" Kendall joked, his sister and James had been married two months now. "Or is she mad at you again?"
"No," James smiled. "She and Lady Josephine are talking with Lady Kelly."
James pointed over to where Kendall's sister and cousin Lady Josephine Stetson (2) along with Lady Camille Garcia where talking to Baroness Kelly who was heavily pregnant with her second child. Well Kelly's husband Baron Gustavo Rocque watched, since the beginning of Kelly's pregnancy her husband had been like an overprotective mother hen.
"I see, and Lady Camille is there to so where is Carlos?" Kendall asked. Baron Carlos Garcia was another close friend of his.
"Right here," Carlos said coming over. "I hear your mother is announcing your betrothed to the rest of the court tonight?"
"Yes," Kendall sighed. "And next week Princess Logan of the North will arrive."
"What's she like?" James asked. "Or do you know?"
"All I know is she is the youngest child of King Griffin." Kendall said.
~The Snow Place~
Princess Logan the younger of King Griffin's two daughters was staring out the window as the maids packed up her stuff. At barely fifteen she was marring the eighteen-year-old King of the South creating a peace treaty between the two lands.
"Sister?" a voice asked, it belonged to her older sister Princess Mercedes the heir to the crown. Her sister had never been mean to her but was very self-absorbed so seeing her was a surprise to the younger girl.
"Mercedes? What are you doing here?" Logan asked walking over to her sister.
"I wanted to see you one last time before you left." The blond smiled sadly. "…They say he is a good man, your husband to be and a strong fighter. Mother would be so happy to see you married to a strong man."
Logan smiled weekly; their mother had passed away two years prior, only weeks after Mercedes wedding to Lord Wally. She had always wanted to see her children married.
"Do you think he will be kind?" Logan asked, never having meet the man. "Or even be pleased with me?"
"Logan you are almost pretty as our as I am!" Mercedes chuckled. "King Kendall would be a fool not to find you beautiful."
"I hope so," Logan sighed turning back to the window. "I really do."
~Two weeks later~
The ride to the South Kingdom had been long and lonely for Logan. Only three of her ladies in waiting came with her on the journey. Jennifer Smith, Jennifer Gosland, and Jennifer Valazces (3), they where also her closes friends.
The three had tried there best to keep her happy and less nerves. But the girl was still feeling scared, she remembered some maids once talking about how brutal her husband to be was in battle once killing two-hundred men from the kingdom of the west.
Now Logan twisted her hands nervously as she and her servants waited outside two large redwood doors to be announced. She would soon be meeting her husband-to-be.
"It will be okay," Jennifer Smith told her. "Just breath my lady."
"Presenting Princess Logan of the North!" a man yelled as the doors opened. Logan along with her guards and ladies in waiting walked into the throne room. And walked to the front, Logan bowed deeply to the man sitting there.
He had blond hair and green eyes a strong tan-like body and was around 6'0.
"My lord king," Logan said. "It is an honor to finally meet you."
Kendall looked at the small girl in front of him; she was rather shy compared to her sister, whom he'd once meet. But very beautiful, with raven hair that fell past her shoulders, deep chocolate eyes and porcelain like skin standing at 5'5 and dressed in a deep red dress she was a vision.
"Rise," He ordered. "I hope your trip was pleasant."
"It was, thank you my lord." Logan said. "Your country is very lovely."
"Thank you," Kendall smiled. "Countess Angela Wilson will lead you to your courtiers where you can meet your new ladies in weighting." At this a brunette stepped forward to greet Logan.
"My lady," she said bowing. "Please fallow me."
Logan along with the Jennifer's fallowed the women out of the throne room and down a hallway and threw two large doors.
Inside was a large sitting room the floors covered by a red and gold carpet the windows coverings where gold and the walls held paintings of landscapes from The kingdom of the South and The kingdom of North. There were doors leading to other rooms and in a corner were four other women.
"My lady," Angela said. "My I introduce you to, Grand-Duchess Josephine Stetson, Baroness Camille Garcia, Baroness Kelly Rocque, Countess Lucy Stone, and Archduchess Katharine Diamond or as we call her Katie."
"Your highness," the women said bowing.
"Welcome to The Kingdom of the South." Katie said.
(1) I can't call her Jennifer it's to weird so I'm calling her Jen.
(2) Yes I made Jo married to Jett and Kendall's cousin in this
(3) I don't know there last names…I don't think they've ever told us so I made some up.
