Wow I didn't think I'd get this many reviews in a week I am truly greatful you guys! So as promised Chapter 2 . At one point in this Caroline has a big speech and I hope I don't ramble or repeat something... have fun reading! :-)
England a week later...
"Niklaus this is whats best for the kingdom so do your duty and marry her!" King Mikael bellowed at his son
"I'm not going to marry her because she won't choose me, i'll make sure of it..." Klaus yelled but made sure he whispred the last bit.
"Niklaus we need you to win this girl over so that we are protected from the rest of the of those uncivilised bunch!" Queen Esther said with a discusted look on her face
"No am not going to court the princess for your benefit! Elijahs courting the whore of spain and Finn is doing the same with the nobel woman in Greece. You will gain enough allies there!" he nodded proving hi point and turning to walk out.
"Those are for trading pourposes Niklaus, you will be making our defences stronger..." Esther called after him making him stopin his tracks and march back towards them face red with anger.
"I am not getting married, make Kol do it, make anyone who isn't me do it, because I dont want to!" he spat just about to walk away when suddenly he felt a pain in his head.
"What... a-a-are you doi-i-ing?!" he howled out in pain clutching his head in his hands and throwing daggered eyes at his mother.
"You will win her over Niklaus," Esther began
"Or it will be you getting Daggered for a change!" Mikael finished
"Okay, okay I will do my best just stop!" he pleaded sighing in relife when his mother stopped what ever magic she was using.
"Your best will never be good enough, boy." Mikael added watching his son stagger towards the exit of the throne room.
France around the same time...
"WHAT?!" carolines voice echoed around the castle
"It will be a time to socialise and for you to dance and get to know them more" Liz responded
"No way, I do not want four men I have never met..."
"You know Tyler and Matt," Liz interrupted.
"Only twice! and on separate occasions!" she countered "anyway I am not dancing with complete strangers on my birthday they can come later or leave before then!"
"Care your birthday is in three weeks and the suitors are coming in one week," Liz sighed "everything is being planned as we speak on the day all you will have to do is put on you dress and show up" she added
"Well then stop the planning because I want to do it!" the princess demanded
"You haven't planned the last nineteen parties what makes this one different?" Liz asked
"This is the last chance for me to do something I want to do with out much assistance from you or anyone else,"she paused for a second to sit on a chair in her fathers study, "I am turning twenty years old, for my tenth birthday I had hardly any input for the decorations, for my own party! Then for my thirteenth and sixteenth I wanted to help with the food and drinks and only then a few of my ideas were used! Then my eighteenth came and I had even less say about what happened than any other! Now I am twenty and I want all the input seeing how it could be my last chance to do something that I want ot do before I marry."
"Very well, seeing as you have come round to the idea of being married" Liz sighed a smirk forming on her face
"I still hate the idea,but Bonnie convinced me and I guess I haven't met them formally yet, so I can't have an opinion about them" Caroline drifted into deep thought about her future for a second then she heard her mothers voice bringing her back to Earth.
"I guess your father won that wager"
"Wait, what?"
"Your father and I agreed if you accepted marriage without our coaxing, you could plan your party" Lizs' strong voice broke into a mumble and a smile appeared on her face to which Caroline smiled back already thinking of everything that must be done.
Caroline once again drifted but caught the silence they were in before her mother did and changed the subject.
"I'd best start planning now then" Caroline said smoothly
"What ever for? Its ages away!" Liz pointed out confused
"Yes but the noble men are coming within the week and I don't want to be planning and courting because I won't be focused at all!"
"Wow Caroline how very... resourceful of you, do you need my help with any thing?" Liz asked feeling helpless
"Oh no thank you mother, not at the moment," she smiled widely at her loving mother "I love you!"
"I love you too Care bear!" her mother called after her daughter who was now skipping towards the exit of her fathers study giggling all the way.
