Recap:
"Endymion.......you can't marry Selenity." Queen Anna said. Endymion's eyes widened in shock.
"What?? Why not?" Endymion asked, trying to control his temper.
"Because....Endymion........you're already betrothed to someone else."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Endymion was as still as a statue, staring at his parents in disbelief. He shook his head, not
wanting to believe what he just heard.
"No. No! It can't be true! I'm NOT betrothed!!" Endymion yelled out.
"Yes. You are betrothed...to Princess Lindsey of the Yuki Kingdom." (SN: Don't ask about the
kingdom name. That came out of nowhere. ^^;;;) Queen Anna said reluctantly.
"Princess....Lindsey? You mean the one who comes to our house every other summer?" Endymion
asked. Queen Anna lowered her head.
"Yes." she said monotonously. "Our kingdoms agreed to marry the two of you. We thought that if
you two married, we could join our kingdoms together and create a bigger and stronger kingdom.
So, every other summer, Princess Lindsey was sent here to stay with us for the season in hopes
that you two would get along and hopefully fall in love with each other." Queen Anna explained.
There was much sadness and regret in her voice. Fury filled Endymion's mind.
"Mother. How could you? You agreed to have her come here and spend the summer with us hoping
that we'd fall in love? Well, Mother. If you haven't noticed, I've fallen in love with Princess Selenity, not Princess Lindsey. And also, when I told you that I was seeing Princess Selenity, why didn't you call off the betrothal? Or why didn't you tell me about it? Did you think that I wouldn't care?" Endymion was filled with anger. Queen Anna's eyes began to fill with tears.
"Endymion. You are not to speak to us in that tone of voice!" King Edmond said.
"No, Edmond. Let him. Just let him." Queen Anna said lowly. "Why don't you go upstairs and rest?"
she suggested. King Edmond nodded and headed for his room. Queen Anna turned her attention
back to Endymion.
"Well, Mother? Care to explain?" Endymion said, trying to calm himself down. Queen Anna sat in a
nearby chair. She began to explain.
"Listen, Endymion. Your father and I had the best of intentions when we arranged for you to be
married to Princess Lindsey. We thought that you might like her. So, we asked her to spend the
summer at our home. You two seemed to get along well, so we arranged for her to come back
every other summer. We thought that with time, you'd fall in love with her."
"And what about when I told you and father that I had fallen for Princess Selenity? Why didn't you call off the betrothal?" Endymion asked, trying to keep his cool.
"Your father and I and Lindsey's parents hoped that you would break up with her soon, so we didn't call it off." Endymion eyes widened with shock.
"You were hoping that...I would break up with Selenity? Oh my god, this is outrageous!! My own
parents wanted me to break up with my one true love?" Endymion rolled his eyes. A tear fell from
Queen Anna's eye.
"Please, Endymion. Understand that we meant well." Queen Anna said while trying to hold back
tears.
"You meant well? Oh yeah. Hoping that I'd fall in love with Princess Lindsey and hoping that I'd
break up with Princess Selenity...yeah...I can tell that you _really_ meant well." Endymion said with sarcasm in his voice.
"Please, Endymion. Don't be this way!" Queen Anna pleaded.
"Why shouldn't I be? I just found out that I am betrothed to a princess that I hate to death and I can't marry Selenity!! Why shouldn't I act this way?" Endymion yelled. Another tear slid down
Queen Anna's cheek.
"I'm sorry." Queen Anna said, still trying to hold back tears. No matter how hard she tried to hold back her tears, they would fall from her sapphire eyes, one by one. Endymion looked at his mother. He saw how much pain she was in and saw how much regret was in her eyes. When Endymion
looked at his mother, his eyes, which were once filled with anger, were now filled with sadness. He let out a sigh.
"I'm sorry, Mother." he said. He went to hug his mother. Anna held him tightly and stroked his
ebony black hair. He released his mother from his embrace and looked at her. "I'm sorry. It's just that....to tell me now....when I just proposed to Selenity..." Endymion was interrupted by his mother.
"Endymion. I understand. I'm sorry I caused you so much pain. Had I known that things would end
up this way, I would've told you sooner. I'm so sorry, Endymion." Queen Anna said as more tears
fell from her eyes.
"Well...I'm still upset that you didn't' tell me until now, but I'm willing to forgive and forget if you call off the betrothal and let me marry Princess Selenity." Endymion said.
"I can try, Endymion, but I can't guarantee that it'll be called off."
"Please, Mother. For my sake...do whatever it takes to call off the betrothal. Please. I love Selenity, and she's the only girl I want to marry." Endymion said pleadingly. Queen Anna let out a sigh.
"Okay, Endymion. For your sake. I'll do my best to call off the betrothal." Queen Anna said.
Endymion let out a sigh of relief and hugged his mother again.
"Thank you, Mother." Endymion said as he let go of her. He gave her a smile and went up to his
room. After Endymion left, Queen Anna went up to her room. Laying in bed was King Edmond. He
looked distressed. He sat up in bed when he saw Anna walk in.
"So, what happened?" Edmond asked his wife.
"Endymion asked me to find a way to call off the betrothal." Anna said as she sat on the bed.
"Don't worry, Anna. I'll help you. I'm sure we'll be able to find a way to call it off." Edmond said reassuringly.
"I hope so." Anna said monotonously. That evening, Anna had a hard time falling asleep. Calling off the betrothal was easier said than done.
// The next day \\
Endymion put on his cloak and prepared to leave his home. He was heading for the Moon
Kingdom, where Selenity lives. He was going to tell Selenity about the betrothal. Just as he
stepped into the carriage, Queen Anna walked out of the house and told the horseman not to leave
yet. Queen Anna knocked on the carriage door. Endymion opened it to find his mother standing at
the door of the carriage.
"Mother? What are you doing?" Endymion asked.
"Endymion. I just need to ask you something." Queen Anna said.
"Can't it wait?" Endymion asked.
"No, Endymion. I need to know. Last night, you said that you dislike Princess Lindsey from the Yuki Kingdom. Why is that so?" Endymion let out a sigh.
"Mother...." Endymion said in an agitated tone of voice.
"Please, Endymion. I just want to know that and I'll never ask you another all day." Endymion
sighed again.
"I hate Princess Lindsey because she is a stuck up little snob who thinks that money is everything. She thinks that the world revolves around her and that just because she's rich and supposedly beautiful, she can get anything or anyone she wants. And she is the most conceited person I've met. She carries a mirror around with her wherever she goes and she looks in it every two minutes. For goodness sake, if she keeps on looking into it, she's gonna break it!! And everything about her makes me sick. I can't stand her." Endymion said.
"You really feel that way about her?" Queen Anna asked.
"Yes. That's how I feel about her. Never in a million years would I marry her! Even if she was the last person in the world, I still wouldn't marry her." Endymion said with disgust in his voice. Queen Anna never knew how much hate he had for Princess Lindsey.
"Alright then. I'll leave you now." Queen Anna said.
"Okay. I'll be back home tonight." Endymion said. He closed the carriage door and soon, he was on
his way to the Moon Kingdom.
// At the Moon Kingdom \\
Endymion stepped out of the carriage and walked up to the castle doors. He knocked on the huge
ivory door. Soon, a servant opened the door.
"May I help you?" the servant asked.
"I'd like to see Princess Selenity please." Endymion said.
"One moment please. Please wait here." the servant said. The servant then closed the door. The
servant went up the grand staircase and headed for Selenity's room. He knocked on her door.
"Princess. There is someone here to see you." the servant said.
"Who is it?" Selenity asked.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know who it is. I only know that there is a gentleman to see you." the servant said.
"Okay then. Send him up." Selenity said.
"As you wish, my Princess." the servant said. The servant returned to Endymion. "You may came
in, sir." the servant said as he gestured for Endymion to come in.
"Thank you." Endymion said as he walked into the castle.
"I will walk you to princess's room. If you'll follow me, please." the servant said. Endymion nodded. He followed the servant up the servant up the stairs to Selenity's room. The servant knocked on Selenity's door.
"Who is it?" Selenity asked from inside.
"Princess, the gentleman is here to see you." the servant said. Soon, Selenity opened the door.
She smiled upon seeing Endymion's face.
"Well well well. What a surprise." Selenity said. "You may go now." Selenity said to the servant. The servant bowed and left quietly.
"What are you doing here?" Selenity asked as soon as the servant left.
"Selenity, there's something I need to tell you." Endymion said firmly.
"Well, before you say anything, I want to introduce you to someone." Selenity said, pulling him into her room. Endymion sighed.
"Okay. But make it quick. What I have to tell you is important."
"Don't worry. It'll be quick." Selenity said, giving Endymion a reassuring smile.
"Okay." Endymion said. He could never argue with his beloved Selenity.
"Okay. Hold on." Selenity said. "Lindsey! Lindsey! Come here. I want you to meet someone!!"
Selenity called out. When Endymion heard the name 'Lindsey,' he began to feel uneasy.
"Lindsey!! Come here!! I want you to meet someone!" Selenity called out again.
"Okay, Selenity. I'll be there in a sec!" Lindsey called out. Soon, Lindsey came out and stood next to Selenity. Lindsey's eyes widened. Endymion gasped quietly.
"Endymion....I'd like you to meet my cousin, Princess Lindsey of the Yuki Kingdom."
