Chapter 2
Princess Addison wasn't like another one, she was very different from what a princess should be, and that gave her a lot of problems with her mother the queen Beatrice who wanted nothing less than a perfect behavior from his daughter. Addison was strong, fierce, passionate, and generous with a golden heart. People loves her, she was the precious stone of the kingdom. It wasn't just her personality but her physical beauty: her long red locks, porcelain skin, red lips and beautiful blue-green eyes that got the looks from everyone.
Through the last year she had decline several wooers, she didn't want to go away from her family, friends and people that she loved but now she was sitting in front of her father listening him saying the words prince Derek and marriage.
"father I thought you were alright the last time I decline lord woodcock" she couldn't help but smirk a little with that last name after Charlotte's joke, Anthony looked at her sternly "I'm sorry"
"Addie I was alright because I knew those men wouldn't make you happy or protect you like you deserve, that's why I didn't push you to accept any of them but now things change, our enemies are closer, and we want to protect you"
"Sending me to another place is not the solution" Addison replied serious "I could be in danger everywhere, it doesn't matter."
"you are my little girl, I don't want you to go either but you would be safer there Addie, I know prince Derek, he is a good man, I trust him and Christopher; I know they will take care of you if anything happen to us…" by now Addison was silently crying "hey, no Addie don't cry honey, you are a very strong woman but I want you to have some protection, we are not going to be here forever, you need to understand that, I don't want you to end up alone and sad. I know you'll be happy there." The princess hugged her father tightly
"I'm happy here; I don't want to be away from you and my mother and Archer"
"I know, but we want what is best for you." In that moment the queen whom have been watching the scene spoke
"and Addie you know is that or the cloister, that's the only way we could be alright" she looked sadly at her daughter "and we know you are too loud for a silence life" they chuckled at this "and you also love children and we want grandchildren. We know it's not easy for you and It would be so, so hard for us letting you go but we'll be happy knowing you are safe and happy" she held her daughter hands and kiss them. The princess slowly nodded
"alright, I'll do it."
"they are going to send you his portrait, so you would have an idea how is him" Addison laughed and shook her head
"at least is not lord woodcock"

"so…when are you going to get his portrait?" charlotte one of Addison's best friend asked
"I don't really know but it could be in five days" the princess said after telling them about the whole marriage thing, it had been three days after the talk with her parents
"Addie you are ok with it?" Naomi asked looking the sadness in her friend
"I'm getting used to the idea you know, it's the wedding or the cloister and I know for sure that I want a family I just didn't know it would be so…so fast"
"you shouldn't do it if you feel sad Addie"
"I'll be ok nae, i trust my parents in this thing. I know I'll be in good hands" she shrugged "plus I've heard he is very handsome"
"like woodcock" charlotte said laughing "I'm sorry but every time I remember that man I can't help but imagine a big
"charlotte!" Naomi yell at her, the princess and charlotte just laughed
"what?" she replied innocently "she need to know a couple of things for her wedding night" the blond girl said "now you can ask me addie" Addison bite her lip and blushed a little
"i… I don't know..what…what I should know" she stammered
"first at all my dear, the first time is gonna hurt" charlotte tilted her head with an eyebrow up "but later is going to be fine. And then is going to be amazing" she smirked
"how much hurt I will be?
"I don't know, I think it dependents of your body and how he treats you" Addison and Naomi looked at each other and back to the blonde whom looked amused " what he is going do to make it easier for you"
"I don't think we should be having this conversation! It's her mother the one who need to address her charlotte!" Naomi exclaimed
"oh come on Naomi! You know a mother will never tell you how is the real thing!" charlotte respond annoyed by her friend who was really shy and prude when it comes to sexual talking "plus no one can hear us!" charlotte was right they were at forest near the big lake
"I think I want to know a couple of things, I don't want to be all nervous and awkward you know"
"Exactly! That's what I mean"
"what should I do then? I know I'll kiss him right? And then we are going to do it" the redhead said nervous this was new for her, she had kiss a man of course but other than that… so charlotte was the only one who tell her things about sex but it was different to talk than actually do it
"Addie the first kiss it's really important, you need to kiss him slow at first but then just let your desire do the rest, kiss him full in the mouth and then let your tongue duel with his"
"oh come on! I know how to kiss char!" the other woman laughed
"right I forgot that you kissed Davenport" Naomi looked surprised
"what? He is nice and really handsome and he's a good kisser" she giggled at her friend face.
"you two are soo!" the other women laughed hard
"you know my mother is afraid that I lost my virginity" Naomi and charlotte were shocked
"why? You haven't been with anyone!"
"she said that because I ride Perseus like everyone does!, she thinks I should just sit in the horse, I mean what is the fun in that. Perseus and I like our freedom" charlotte giggled
"you know how to ride a man then" Naomi stared at her with disgust look
"ok you know if you two don't stop with that I'll left." Charlotte grimaced at her
"fine!"
"Addison, when are your parents going to start with the preparations for the wedding?"
"the weeding is going to be at Hampshire"
"why? The weddings are always in the bride's town"
"my father is kind of paranoid that if the enemies knows, they could do something to take advantage"
"oh, but we are going to be with you no matters how far away is it" Naomi smiled warmly at her and charlotte put her hands on her hips
"we are going to be there for you, we are going to help you look gorgeous and more than that we are going to be there to support you"
"I'm going to miss you girls" the princess replied with her eyes tearing Naomi and charlotte hugged her, they were friends since they were little girls and were pretty close. They shared everything, the good, the bad, the sad and happy moments in their lives, it was really hard for them, but still the real friends are like stars, you don't see them every day but you know they are there.

"Derek I need you to do something" his father told him. After the argument that they have, Derek accepted the engagement and was doing everything to made them believe that he ended his secret relationship with Meredith and now things were ok between the two of them
"what is it?"
"your mother is about to send princess Addison your portrait; she thinks it would be good if you write a letter for her" Derek stared stunned
"what I would say to her, I don't know her father."
"well something like you're pleased with your engagement, that you're hoping the times comes faster so you can meet her, I don't know son, but you are very capable of come up with something"
"I'll try to do it then"
"thank you that means a lot Derek, I know it's been hard for you, so thank you for doing this for us, for your people." Derek smiled curtly
"is my duty as prince of Hampshire"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Derek sat in the room trying to write a decent letter for his soon-to-be wife
Dear princess Addison
I just want to say that I'm glad about our commitment, it's was a little unexpected but the king Christopher have told me some things about you, I really want to meet you, I want to be your friend and make this marriage work for both of us.
I'm not going to lie, it will be hard but I think we could make it; the king and the queen are going to do the announcement tomorrow.
I hope the time come fast to finally see you
My greatest respects
Prince Derek
Derek read over and over the letter and decided to remit it in that way, he wasn't to fall in love with that woman so if he acted a little cold she wouldn't be surprised later with his behavior.
They sent the pack and days later arrived to Yorkshire.

"…prince Derek" Addison finished the letter with her friends "what do you think"
"that he wasn't interested on write that letter"
"or maybe he was just busy and this was the first thing he write, I mean, he doesn't know you addie" Naomi tried to rest charlotte words
"I don't know, I think charlotte is right"
"but he is very good looking" charlotte replied seeing the portrait
"don't pay attention to her addie, it's normal he writes this way, he doesn't know you so I think he was just confused that's all" Naomi glared at charlotte
"Naomi is right addie, I'm bitter because cooper broke up with me"
"he didn't come back?"
"no," charlotte sighed "so I'm sorry, but you what? I know I'll met someone who really cares about me, now let's do that letter to teach him how to write a decent one"
"actually girls I'll do it by myself, I want to, this is the new beginning for me, and I have to do it alone, you are my best friends and I love you but…"
"it's ok addie we understand it's a big step, so we'll let you alone" the girls left her in the large living but she went outside, she really didn't know what to say, at first she spoilt a lot paper but then everything started to go well.
Dear prince Derek
I want to thank you for the little letter that you send, I really appreciated it was very kind of you. I want to tell you that you are right, it's hard for me but I trust in my father and he said you are a very good person so I believe him.
I want to get to know you, be your friend, wife and lover. I want it all even if I don't know if you are gonna to like me but that's the risk right? I'm kind of nervous about all the changes, I love this place, I grew up here and know every part of it, the forest, the lake…I love my to feel free and careless even if that gives me a lot problems with the queen.
I'm strong and I won't be there just siting waiting for you. I love to know the people in the town and what they do, I like be closer to them and i hope I can do that in there too. I want to make this work, for our people, our parents and the most important for us; I don't want a sad and unhappy marriage.
I'll be loyal to you and be there for you, sometimes we are going to fight over stupid things but its ok because at the end I'll be there and for now I'll stop. I don't want to bore you.
My sincere affection
Princess Addison

Derek couldn't believe that she said all that, he felt guilty, that girl was expecting a lot of things but he couldn't give her that, he loved Meredith but there was something about this woman that intrigued him, he put out the portrait and sighed now I get why my father said she was a lovely girl and no beautiful… the portrait showed a blonde woman, very thin with brown eyes and a little big nose. He went to the town to have some drinks; he will need it after that.

"Jake, why? If someone knows that you changed the portrait man we are going to be in trouble
"he doesn't deserve her!"
"neither you" Sam said to his friend " what do you pretend with that?"
"maybe if he saw the portrait he could take back his proposal"
"you know it doesn't work that way Jake plus you are just a knight and she is a princess" Jake clenched his fists
"I don't care, won't do anything to make her angry, but this is my last chance man" Sam shook his head and left him.
