It was 3 days after William's birthday as he took a stroll through the garden, since he knew he had a big decision to make, of which Lady he wanted to marry.

As he walked, he thought to himself, "Lady Pearce was very beautiful, but had a scandalous reputation, and had many skeletons in the closet.

Lady Fuller was like him, a catholic, adventurous, and had a wonderful sense of humor.

There was also Lady Pen, and Lady Jones, but none of them were Lady Ogden, or should I say the beautiful Lady Julia.

She was the opposite of him, but had the same views as him, but she admitted she didn't believe in God. The one thing I promised my mother that I would marry as Lady who was a true believer. But can I go against her wishes and marry Julia?"

As he continued walking, he saw George, "sir, your uncle is looking for you."

William smiled, "he is probably wondering if I have made a decision?"

George nodded, "so have you?"

William nodded, "I have, tell my uncle I had made my decision."

"Very good, sir" George said as he bowed and left.

It was an hour later, as William was sitting at his desk, admiring his mother's engagement ring, when his uncle walks in, "so you made a decision, eh?"

"Yes, and I have already written to her to come here for dinner in 2 days' time."

"Very good, proud you son."

William nodded back to him, "thank you."

"So, which of the ladies did you choose…not that Lady Pearce?"

William laughed, "no, she was scrapped from my list immediately, but don't worry the one I chose my mother would have chosen for me."

Thomas smiled and gave him a hug, "your mother would be so proud of you."

2 days later came, when the carriage pulled up as George helped the lady out, "Lady Ogden, welcome back"

"Thank you, Mr. Crabtree"

"Please, call me George"

"Ok, George. Do you know where Prince William is?"

"He's waiting for you, in the hallway, I'll take you there"

They arrive, "sir, Lady Ogden"

William looked at her, "Lady Ogden" he said and kissed her hand, "thank you for coming back"

"Your welcome. My sister was disappointed you didn't invite her"

"My apologies"

"Oh, don't apologize. Its great having a night without her."

They both laugh, "will you join me for dinner?" he said as he gave her in his arm.

"I'd be delighted" she said as she took his arm, and they went to the dining area.

They ate, talked about their life and their beliefs of how he wanted to make his kingdom all equal and how she wanted to go to school to become a doctor.

After dinner, he took her to show her a painting that just arrived, "it was my mother's last painting before she died."

The painting was of a rose garden, with a young couple and a little boy having a picnic. Julia looked at it and was amazed of how beautiful it was, "I have never seen such a beautiful painting in my life. What's it called?"

William looked at her, "the future, it's called the future" he said as he bends down on one knee.

She turned to him and gasped, "your grace."

"Lady Julia, from the moment I met you I just knew we were meant for each other. I feel like I have known you my whole life and so will you do the honor or becoming my wife?"

She had tears in her, "I'm sorry William, I can't" she said as she walked down the hallway.

"Wait, Julia" he said as he grabbed her arm, "what's the matter?"

She wiped her tears, "I do, want to marry you, your grace, but as I said…I want to be a doctor."

"You can do both, be my wife and be a doctor."

Julia looked at him, "really?"

"Yes, so I ask agai…"

"Yes, I'll marry you, William" she said and gave him a kiss.
