hiccstrid105: YEEESS I believe he is going to be fine

ArcVal: yes obviously sorry about that. I'm still learning. I'll improve I promise.

Hiccup took one last look at himself in the mirror before heading downstairs. Fishlegs, his loyal follower and personal servant helped him get dressed for the occasion. Today was the day that he would get to meet with all the houses royal families.

Ya-y

"Are you okay my prince? you look a bit off" Fishlegs commented as he was fixing Hiccup's cape.

Hiccup had a lot on his mind. It wasn't that he didn't like the idea of marriage in general, it was just...the way it was. He never liked his father's stupid rule. He wasn't even sure if he believed in love but he couldn't agree with the idea of an arranged marriage. It felt, so fake, so forced. He was only 20 years old anyway. He had dreams of running away from the castle, with toothless, exploring the lands, finding new places he's never been to before, helping the animals, discovering the world. But he knew very well that all of that was nothing but a fantasy. A dream that could never become true. Because in reality he was "the Prince of Berk". There was no room in his life for things like traveling or exploring. He was his father's only child. The only heir to the throne of the kingdom. He was expected to rule one day. He laughed at the idea. Him? Rulling? Hiccup was never the "follow the rules" kind of prince. He knew that others would give their right hands to be in his place. But he never asked for this life. He never wanted any of this.

"Is the cape really necessary?" he stretched his arms uncomfortable with the way his clothes were so tight.

"Well of course my Prince! All the royal families are going to be present on tonight's event and your father insisted that you look your best."

"I know I know but, isn't this a bit...too extra?"

He looked at the long red fabric of the cape his father chose for him to wear. It was longer than the capes he was used to wear and it had a thick layer of white fur resting on each side of his shoulders, with golder chains connecting the two sides, and his father's symbol curved with golden markings.

"Nothing is too extra on tonight's ball my Prince. I am sure everyone will step up their game on their appearance."

"Fishlegs I told you a thousand times that you can just call me Hiccup. You've been serving me my whole life"

They were interrupted by Queen Eeira and her ladies following her. As she stepped in the room and took a look at him, she covered her mouth with both of her hands and gasped.

"Oh by the ancients! You look so handsome my dear" her tone sounded more like she was about to cry.

"Thank you my Queen" Hiccup turned around and bowed in front of her.

She held her hand out for him and he kissed it. "You look stunning as always"

"oh you and your flirting skills" she laughed. "You might wanna save some of these complements because you will be needing them tonight" she winked at him.

He only half smiled at her. Tonight. His father's 'stupid alliance with marriage' plan. The truth was that he was never good at flirting. Or any type of romantic experience with a lady. Yes he had been on parties with princess before but he never seemed as interested in flirting as his friends were.

"Yeah...I can't wait, I am so..."

"oh don't try to fake excitement to me Hiccup, I've known you since you were little." she rubbed his tense shoulders and tried to massage them.

"Just relax my dear and try to enjoy yourself down there" she gave him a comforting smile.

"Enjoy myself? By being FORCED to talk with all the princes and princesses of the kingdom, flirt with them, and act like nothing is awkward or uncomfortable? Smile at everyone like Im totally not bored and pretend I wanna be there like I have nothing better to do with my life?"

"Yes! That's exactly what you should do! See? you got this!" she teased him and gave his shoulder a squize.

Fishlegs struggled not to laugh and Hiccup sighed in unamusement.

But the queen laughed.

"Look Hiccup. I know you don't wanna be there and I understand that you are not really into these events. But being a King has responsibilities, and it comes with the unfortunate obligation of... sometimes doing things you don't want to do. It's part of the royal life"

"Wow. You sound just like him" Hiccup exhaled a breath he didn't knew he was holding.

"Don't be hard on him Hiccup. He is only trying to prepare you for the throne. He really wants the best for you"

" It would have been nice if he ever actually asked me what I wanted"

"Hiccup-"

"I could be out there! Seeing the word! Finding new lands! exploring parts of the world that no man has ever steped in before! All those speaches and, balls and rulling the kingdom thats, HIS thing!"

"Hiccup, I think you're missing the point. I mean KING! What an honor! I'd be pretty excited-"

"I'm not like you Eeira. You know exactly who you are...you always have but I...I'm still looking. I know I am not my father and I never met my mother so..." he looked at his reflection in the mirror. "what does that make me?"

She looked at him with sympathy. Hiccup's real Mother was no noble. She wasn't a wealthy women and she had no royal blood. When she found out she was pregnant, Stoick couldn't marry her and keep the throne at the same time. So he married princess Eeira of house Jogerson in order to keep the piece between the two kingdoms. But his Father wasn't the only one Hiccup blamed. His mother left him. She could have stayed in the castle and live there as the King's mistress, she had a choice.But not only did she left, but she also left him behind. She could have taken him with her and raise him but she chose to let him stay with his father in the castle, without her. And that was all he knew about her. Well at least as far as his father was ever willing to say. He never talked about her.

"Like I told you..." she rubbed Hiccup's cheek with her thumb." Sometimes Kings must make tough choices"she kissed his forehead and exited the room leaving them alone again.

What a great family. He hated his father for betraying his Mother. He hated his mother for leaving him. He wished she had taken him with her. Maybe if he wasn't the prince he wouldn't have such a miserable life. And he definitely wouldn't have to go downstairs in 30 minutes and try to bond with the ladies.

A few awfully long moments later Fishlegs broke the awkward silence.

"So... no cape?"

Hiccup was so deep in his thoughts that it took him a while before he answered.

"no its okay...you can leave it"

thank you so much for reading ️

My my... now we have some information about Hiccup's real mother huh? What do you think about her? And what is your opinion on Queen Eeira? I personally love her relationship with Hiccup. Even though she is not his real mother she always acted like one to him.
