Vision walks down the halls of the palace in an almost dazed state. He wasn't paying attention to his surroundings and bumped into people and things with out saying a word. Somehow, he manages to get on to the roof where there is a small set meant for star gazing. Leaning against the railing he lets out a loud sigh as he watches the sun sink into the horizon. He didn't know what to think. He really wasn't interested in publicly searching for a bride or searching for a bride in general. He knew that as soon as the word got out, every eligible women in the kingdom would start throwing them selves at him. They would only be interested in his title and wealth not in him as a person. They wouldn't love him for him and he wouldn't love them at all. But he couldn't tell the council that he wouldn't look for a bride because then they would start trying to set up an arranged marriage and he would be stuck in the same situation as he was in before.

Vision lets out another sigh. Perhaps he could actually convince his father to adopt the Parker boy to take his place. That way he wouldn't have to deal with all this marriage business.

" Are you okay, Vizh?"

Vision turns around and faces the main reason he doesn't want to search for a bride. The reason being his mothers beautiful hand maid that he has grown to love over the longs years of knowing her.

" Wanda. You're early."

" I heard you were acting strange from Peter. He said you were 'acting like you found out the world was ending and you didn't know how to stop it'. I came as soon as your mother would let me."

" It feels kind of like that."

Wanda step forward until she is right in front of him, giving him a concerned look.

" Vizh, what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything."

Vision suddenly grabs Wanda by the hips, pulling her to him and planting his lips on hers. Wanda lets out a small surprised sound before melting into his embrace, placing her arms around his neck. Vision's hand moves up to cup her cheek as he presses her into the railing. They stay like that for a long while, not a care in the world besides each other. Eventually, Vision pulls away, just enough to rest his forehead against hers.

" I'm sorry. I should have asked first instead of just acting out like that."

" I've told you before you don't have to ask. But now I know something is wrong. You never act like this, Vizh. What's wrong?"

Vision lets out a loud sigh and releases her to lean against railing. Wanda intertwines her hand with his and gives it a squeeze.

" Come on, Vizh, talk to me."

" I was summoned by the council today."

" Well that explains a lot. You haven't even told me what you talked about and you already have enough reason to be up set."

Vision smiles at her, knowing her dislike for certain council members.

" Yes they can be quite bothersome, but they do help with a lot in the kingdom, even if they do try an control your future."

Wanda raises her eyebrow at him.

" What did you talk about, Vizh. It obviously upset you and I don't like seeing you like this."

Vision turns his head to the sky, knowing he can't look her in the eye while saying what he's about to say.

" The council is concerned in my lack of interest in courting a women. They would like me to start looking for a bride and they hope that I will have one before my coronation."

He hears her take in a breath and closes his eyes.

" There's more, isn't there?"

" Yes... the council has informed me that if I do not have a bride or plans to marry before my coronation then they will... postpone it until I do."

They stand there in silence for a small while as it all settles in.

" What are you going to do?"

" I don't know. I'll figure out how to convince the council to reconsider."

" And if you don't?"

" Then I won't become king."

Her hand was suddenly gone from his and she was standing in front of him.

" I can't let you do that."

" Wanda.."

" No,Vizh, I can't let you do that. I love you more than anything but I won't let you through away your birthright for me."

Wanda turned to walk away but Vision grabs her and pulls into his chest, wrapping his arms around her. She tries to push away but he holds her still.

" Vizh, please don't make this harder than it needs to be."

" It doesn't need to be hard at all."

" But..."

" Your love is worth more to me than any throne will ever be."

" Giving it up will be like giving up your whole life."

" No, but giving you up would be. You're my whole life, Wanda. I live for you. I will die for you. And I will be damned if I let a bunch of old guys sitting at a table take you away from me."

Wanda laughs lightly against his chest.

" I'm sorry, Vizh. I shouldn't have acted so irrationally. You'll figure something out, you always do."

" I will. I'll change the councils' mind and I'll give them hell doing so."

Wanda laughs again and smiles up at him before stepping back a step.

" You and your whole family."

Vision raises a brow, not quite following.

" Well between you, your father always gives them hell, let's be honest, and your mother; the council is going to have their heads spinning."

" I get my father and I, but what is my mother doing?"

Wanda gives him a confused look before smiling widely.

" You don't know? Your mother has been talking to the council about getting her own adviser instead of going to Lord Rhodes."

" Is that allowed?"

" Well normally a king and queen will share an adviser. However, your mother has asked for her own since, in her words, making sure your father doesn't do stupid things is a full-time job. At first the council didn't like the idea but your mother is persistent, I think that's where you get it from, and there's a high chance that she'll get what she wants in the end."

" You seem to know a lot about this."

Wanda smiles shyly and wrings her hands.

" Well... your mother says that when she secedes in getting her own adviser, she would like to ask me to take the position. It's actually why I wanted to talk to you tonight, she asked me this morning if I'd be willing."

" So you didn't just want to see me?"

Wanda scoffs and hits his chest lightly. Vision smirks at her.

" You're unbelievable. I'm trying to tell you about something good going on in my life and you just have to ruin it. You could at least pretend to be happy for me."

" I am happy for you. I was trying to make a joke."

" Well you failed miserably."

Vision chuckles at her antics.

" Seriously Wanda, I'm happy that things are looking up for you."

" Thank you, Vizh. Though I seem to have luck when it comes with jobs in your family. From homeless to the queens adviser."

" With that luck they'll be making you queen yourself."

Wanda gives him a grin and runs a finger down his chest.

" Hmm, maybe."

She gives him a quick kiss and a wink before heading inside, leaving Vision standing there, blushing.

A/N: So this wasn't the best chapter. I thought that I had something and then I lost it and this was the result. Oh well I hope you guys liked it anyway. Let me know what you all think.
