"What you can't do this to me," An angry male said.

"Now Edymion, you are 19 years old it's time for you to find a bride, and since you have not found one out of the hundreds of eligible women that have visited your mother and I have chosen for you," King Edymion said.

"I didn't choose any of them because they were all weak willed and air headed idiots."

"Edymion," Queen Gia scolded her son.

"What! They were. How could either of you expect me to marry a woman who will only get in my way of ruling and only cares about the title that will come with being my wife. Can't you understand I want a woman who is going to question my decisions, question me she thinks I'm wrong and who will love me for me not my title?"

Queen Gia smiled sweetly and said, "I understand son, but…"

"But not every man can get as lucky as I did when I married your mother," King Edymion interrupted.

"Isn't there anyway around this?" Prince Edymion asked.

"No son, it's final, end of discussion. Now gather your generals prepare for your departure to the moon tomorrow night."

"Whatever," Prince Edymion said and stormed out of the throne room.

"Well that went well," A female voice said as it stepped out of the shadows.

King Edymion chuckled and said, "Better than I expected; your brother can be such a hot head."

"He does have a point though father. All those women were brainless idiots. Especially that Beryl girl; did you see how she acted around Endy? She clung to him and hung onto every word he said. If he would have told her to jump she would have asked how high. I tell you don't any eligible noble women and princesses have brains anymore? Or am I the only one left?"

"Maybe you should go with him to the moon then Terra."

"Sorry mom I don't think so. That part of the politics isn't part of my job."

"It is if we say it is," King Edymion smirked at his daughter.

"Fine then how about this: we forget Endy is on the moon and leave him there and then I can become queen and rule the world. Muahahahahahahah," Princess Terra joked.

Queen Gia chuckled and said, "Very funny Terra, but we all know you would miss your older brother if he were gone."

"Maybe I'd have a chance at being courted if he were gone along with his generals. Did either of you know that they have scarred all of my suitors away?" Terra huffed and then noticed the smug look on her father's face added, "You knew about it didn't you dad; and you let them."

Gia looked at her husband and said, "Edymion?"

"I never told them to do it," King Edymion defended.

"Did you tell them not to?" Gia asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Why would I?" King Edymion asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"They were here to see Terra."

"Precisely my point. Why would I want some arrogant prince putting moves on my little princess?"

"Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore. One day I'm going to have to get married."

"You won't if I have any thing to say about it."

"You'll force Endy to get married, but I can't. That's hardly fair dad."

"It's perfectly fair."

"Mom tell him it's not fair," Terra pleaded with her mother.

"Edymion, honey, you know she's right it isn't fair."

Edymion raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm king and I said it was fair so it is."

"OOOO, fine maybe I should just go to the moon with them," Terra huffed.

Gia laughed and said, "No, you're going by yourself in a month to report the progress of the treaty."

Terra looked around and said, "Why don't you just tell him who he is marrying?"

"Her mother and we have agreed that the two of them should get to know each other without the pressure of knowing they are engaged and so they can fall in love without worrying about wanting each other for the other's title. Instead we told them they are betrothed to another so they won't put moves on each other," Gia said.

"Should I help the boys pack?"

With a smirk King Edymion asked, "You mean go harass them?"

Smiling innocently Terra said, "OF course not dad, merely going to make sure they pack appropriate clothing to meet Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity, rulers of the Moon Kingdom and Silver Alliance. I wouldn't want them to make a bad impression."

Queen Gia chuckled and said, "Get out of here and try not to cause too much trouble."

"Going," Princess Terra said and exited the throne room quickly.

"You know she acts just like you," Gia smiled at her King Edymion.

"Yes, but she has your looks."

"You know you're going to have to let her be courted by a prince and eventually get married."

"Of course; when I find one who measures up to my standards."

"That will be never, because you will always see her as your little princess."

"Exactly," King Edymion said and then kissed his wife.
