Summer 26
Lillian's PoV
Hm. Now that I think about it, the day Eliot and I got into that argument at the diner… That was his birthday wasn't it? Quite the birthday present don't you think? Being rejected and having your heart broken? Oh well, he deserved it…
Speaking of special days today was one of them. But not a birthday; a romantic festival. Well, it can be at least. Really, it's just the firework festival. I remember when I was young, Naomi would tell me that if you and the one you loved watched and kissed under the fireworks, your love would be eternal. Obviously, it's not true and just a silly myth but then again, it's fun to think about and believe in. Maybe sometime I would be able to seal my 'eternal love' with someone tonight…
I could feel my cheeks flush at the thought as Naomi walked in, snickering slightly at my face. "Thinking about Will Miss?" she asked, coming over to the bed to get my ready for the day.
"N-no! Of course not! I was thinking about when you would tell me about the fireworks festival… I was wondering if it would ever be possible for me, but it can't be since I'm not in love nor do I date," I explained, my face hot now as the maid stripped my night gown from me. In their place, she put a simple outfit on; a white tank top with a blue, knee length skirt that flowed and looked as if it were dancing when I walked. White sandals were placed on my feet and a light-material blue shall over my shoulder that was held together by a diamond butterfly clip.
"But you do have a fiancé," she grinned, brushing my hair after I sat at my vanity. She laughed as she looked at my blush in the mirror before twisting my hair in her expert way, making my silver curls into a bun at the back of my head. Hum, today I looked so much different then usual… Not as frilly and more laid back than usual. Oh well, change was always good right?

As I walked down the huge stair case, I blinked, obviously surprised at who was standing at the bottom of said stairs. "Will?!" I asked, jogging slightly down the remaining steps, losing my balance at the last second, causing me to fall on him. Wow, it's as if I were in a book or something.
It took me a minute to realize the situation and only when I heard the blond under me groan that I scrambled to my feet. "I apologize!" I exclaimed, pulling him up and holding his arm in a worried manner. "Are you all right?"
All he did was laugh and nod. "It is I who should be questioning of your condition," he grinned, looking down at me with a seductive smile. The damn jerk! I had totally forgotten what a player he was! Even though I only assumed as much. Giving a small glare, I snapped my hands away from them, crossing my arms.
"I'm fine," I assured in a slightly annoyed tone. How, oh how could I have forgotten he was trying to get all the girls to fall for him! I knew it was working on many of them; Lanna and Julia were telling me just the other day what a 'sexy beast' he was. Not like I would admit it true or agree… Natalie blushed whenever she heard his name, Lily (I know, go figure right? We have the same name!) has been head over heels for him since she first laid eyes on him… Really, only Sabrina and I weren't caught in his act. I would say the Witch Princess and Harvest Goddess weren't, but I don't even know if they exist… Supposedly, they live on the island where the church is…Mystic Islands they call it I believe?
Anyways, that was beside the point. I could see the boy wince slightly but he quickly covered it with a smile. "Good. If a scratch had become on your face because of me, I would feel nothing but regret," he said, smiling and bowing slightly. Woah, woah, woah… Why was HE apologizing? He was the one who broke my fall!
"Uh… D-don't worry about it. It's my own fault for falling," I explained, at a loss of words, "Um, what brings you here? It's only eleven," I said, glancing up at the father clock across the room.
"My parents," he said simply, pointing to the hall where a light shatter could be heard. "Our marriage is supposedly the reason they came which isn't too surprising. They're set on me taking you to be my bride," he explained, blushing slightly. To this, I just nodded in under-standment, motioning for him to sit in the waiting room as Naomi disappeared into the kitchen.
In a slightly awkward silence, we sat across from one another before Naomi came back, carting some tea our way. Smiling, I nodded and took a cup for myself, Will mimicking my actions before the maid disappeared once more.
"So, uh," I started, trying to think of a subject before one of the most obvious things came to mind. "What do your parents do?" I questioned, sitting straight as I sipped my tea, looking at him in the eye. After all, my parents wouldn't even think of having me marry someone who wasn't from a wealthy or important family.
The blonde just looked at me as if I were crazy, obviously in shock from me not knowing. "A king and queen," he said simply, causing me to laugh slightly.
"Ha-ha, good one Will. But really, what are they?" I asked, grinning slightly.
"I just told you. King William Terry Louis Andrew Carrick Jonathan Dredge Hams Reading Roger Southwark Alnwick Plymouth Junior Regison II is my father and Queen Annebelle Jean Louis Matryed Suzan Sumire Regison is my mother. I am prince King William Terry Louis Andrew Carrick Jonathan Dredge Hams Reading Roger Southwark Alnwick Plymouth Junior Regison III and heir to the throne," he said, not in the least out of breathe. How in the world could Will remember, much less say all of that without any trouble?!
Well, he couldn't hide his laugh at my reaction. My eyes were large, my jaw slack and my cheeks were burning bright red. "I-I apologize for being so rude your highness," I said quietly, avoiding eye contact. I couldn't believe that this whole time, I was treating royalty terrible. How would I ever be able to live that down?!
"Please Lilly. Don't start acting different now that you know who I am," Will said in a slightly uncomfortable manner. "I'm still the same person as I was when you fell down the stairs…"
"But your highness! I couldn't possibly act the same now! I'm so below you, it would be rude to return to the way things were before!" I exclaimed, standing up and leaning forward in a slightly panicked fashion, my hands firmly on the table in front on me.
"Lillian!" the blonde said with a voice as cold as his sky blue eyes. "Stop. You do have the reason for acting the same. You are my fiancée," he pointed out, leaning forward so our faces were only inches apart. "No 'your highnesses' okay? You're my wife-to-be, now some commoner."
"But…" I said, a chill going down my spine. I don't think I've ever seen him this calm and collected. Towards me at least. And the aura Will had wasn't ordinary; it was that of a king. How fitting don't you think? "…" Silence remained between as before I sighed and nodded, settling back in my chair. This isn't an argument I could win and I knew that already.

For the next ten, fifteen minutes, silence remained between us as I drank my tea and he admired the art work around the room. "Lilly," he said in a normal way, as if the scene from before hadn't happened.
"Yes your high- Er, I mean Will," I said, snapping my head to see him looking me in the eye, causing my cheeks to redden for some unknown reason.
"What are you doing tonight?" he questioned, causing me to blush even brighter. Woah, woah, woah! He wanted to see me at night?! What in the world could he be planning besides that?! I wasn't ready! We hadn't even kissed for real not to mention we weren't even married yet! For him to want se- "I was wondering if you would like to go to the festival with me," he explained, looking at me in a strange way. I've always been told it's never boring to watch me as I think about something to hard… Apparently, I have many facial expressions and mumble to myself.
It took a moment for his question to register in my mind. Of course he didn't want that but wanted to go to the festival with me. Really, what was I thinking? "Sure," I said without hesitation. "It sounds fun," I grinned before remembering what I had been thinking all morning about the Firework Festival. A light blush appeared on my cheeks but before I could take my answer back, Will gave me a huge smile.
"Great! I'll be back at 7! Don't forget!" he grinned just before his parents called his name. "Coming!" he called to the front foyer. A small peck he left on my cheek, causing my face to become bright red. Luckily, he didn't see since he was at the door in an instant. I heard the door close and slumped back in my chair.
Wow, this has probably been the most eventful summer of my life…
