Roald didn't sleep well. He had too much on his mind. Could that have all happened so fast? It wasn't possible, it took days to love someone that much, it took months, no YEARS even! Was he in love, in true and actual love? The winds going through the windows seemes to howl in agreement, with a soft "yes", but he didn't know what to believe.
Before he knew it though, the sun was there, and the beams coming in from the window hit his eye at a blinding angle. "Ugh..." he moaned. He hated mornings, but knew he had to get used to them. But then he realized, it wasn't morning at all, it was actually almost midday, and he jumped out of bed. Was what happened last night all a dream? he thought, but knew it wasn't, for he'd never had feelings that strong, and he suddenly also remembered why he had been up the whole night (debating his feelings). He had to go see the fief's priest, and now his good friend, now, and right away. While putting on his shirt, and squinting outside, he saw that Priest Sunskrit's window was open, which meant he was there.
"Good, if anyone knows how to solve anything, it'll be him..." Roald said to himself.

"So you say she's the leader of the revolt?" Priest Sunskrit said, after Roald had told him his story.
"Yes" He said, but then continued, "But father, I've never loved someone so much, and the way i love her...What am I to do?" he asked.
"I always in following your heart..." the priest started.
"So you're saying i should stay with her, and t-"
"Hold on boy! But like you said, she is your enemy, and by the laws of Tortall, if it is proven that she is the head of this revolt...execution can be her destiny. And the evidence that she is, is very strong."
Roald's face crumpled, and he buried his head in his arms. "No..." he whispered.
"I think you have your answer right there...and Roald, try remembering some of the upsides. Like maybe, if you do stay with her, maybe everything can get resolved..." Sunskrit said, trying to lighten Roald's mood.
"Father, Gregory will get me before any of that happens. But I've decided. This is the woman I love...and I'll do anything for her. I'll accept consequences. I only hope my decisions are right. Priest Sunskrit, will you marry us today at half past 8? You said yourself i had my answer right here."
Sunskrit gulped, he was now caught in between..."Roald, you are like a son to me, but i can't put our country in peril, and I especially don't want to put you in peril..."
Roalds voice grew stiff, "By the power I have as heir and Prince of Tortall, I order you, Father Sunskrit, to marry me and my beloved, today at half-past 8"
Sunskrit could only nod.

"Follow me" Roald whispered, into the night air. He led her to the small church, reserved for the royal family, which she was soon to become a part of.
She couldn't see his face, but she knew he was smiling. He had explained his feelings to her. And she had agreed to marry him.
"It may seem fast, and it may seem like the sands of a great desert are swirling around and suffocating you, but my love will always be there to get you out, please say yes...My heart and more will encompass you, and keep you safe, and I'll love you forever." he had told her. And she believed him, believed in him, and agreed.
So here they were, at the church, a little past half-past eight, and to be married. As a witness, Roald had coaxed Merric to come. He was the only one who wasn't too into this rebellion thing, and also didn't know much about it. He was perfect for this purpose.
so there they stood, a makeshift veil on her head, and a simple crown on his head.
"By Mithros as our father, and gods as our brothers, these two will wed, for an eternal bond, with love, loyalty, and trust. So Prince Roald of Conte, take Rosaline of Yorric, to be thy wife, and Rosaline take Roald. Protect each other, and love each other. By the power within me, and by Mithros's hand, you are now knight and lady."
"So Mote it Be" They responded, and shared a soft, sweet kiss.
But they didn't have time to be together long, he had to get back for the nightly feast, and no one could know about their marriage. He also had to tell Kel. She had to get back to Gregory...who still thought she was his. As many problems as there seemed there were, Roald knew they would get solved, and if he couldn't , their love could.
"I'll see you soon Rose" he said, smiling at her, palm to palm, like before their first kiss."
"And I'll see you Roald." She whispered pulling him in for one more passionate kiss.

"Kel! Kel! i have something to tell you!" Roald bellowed. Kel, Cleon, Fal, and Neal were all in the main street of the small fief. They were blocking something, but Roald was too happy to notice. But when Kel turned around to face him, he saw, and what he saw was red. And bodies, everwhere...
"A curse on all of you!" screamed Owen, last breaths coming out of his mouth. "Can't you just resolve this. I'm sorry Roald, Kel, Fal, Merr, Cle-" he was cut off by wheezing and coughing, "You guys are great," he continued, "But this has to stop, and i know something drastic has to happen for it it happen, but make it happen so we can LIVE IN PEACE!" he said, as he fell to the ground...dead.

A/N:As you can probably see, i've been following Romeo and Juliet sorta closely up till now, and i still will. (Except for parts of the ending....) But please don't think that b/c you know the story already that you won't read this. It'll get dramatic and exciting, i promise!(or i hope u'll think it will..) So please enjoy, and see how i've put my own spin on a Tammified classic romance.
