The Prince's Secret Love
Chapter 3
The town, the palace was awash with excitement. Today the king was going to announce something.
The Prince's engagement was speculated around the people and the palace staff but he had never been seen with anyone.
The announcement was to be broadcasted from the palace balcony. Were King Jack would speak to the people there but as well to the whole nation.
The time had come.
"Thank you for taking the time out to gather here and in your homes and workplaces. Today marks a new day in the royal family, a change for the future. The royal family myself have been sat in the past century and it's time we moved forward. Time we become part of our nation. The marriage law that any heir to the throne has to marry someone of noble blood as been abolished. And it gives me great pleasure to announce the engagement of my son Prince Troy to someone I hope you will all come to love as in a few years she could be Queen. She is not of noble birth but my son loves her dearly and he loves her. So please show your support for Prince Troy and his fiancée and Miss Gabriella Montez.
Troy and Gabriella step out onto the balcony and the crowds cheer. Gabriella glances at Troy her hand tucked in his arm. He smiles reassuringly and she faces the crows again.
Meanwhile behind them in the palace the staff begin to gossip.
"Well they kept that quite," muttered one
The royal family was becoming modern and taking its place in a modern day society. It was time for a change and the country agreed it was a good development. As cards and letters came from all over the country from noble families and none noble families congratulating them on their engagement.
The future looked very bright especially if in a few years time or more the people would have one of them on the throne. Queen Gabriella.
And this is where the story ends.
Troy and Gabriella didn't ascend the throne for 10 years upon which King Jack passed away. But in that time Troy and Gabriella had budding family 3 daughters and two sons. Mia Christina (9), Joseph Thomas (7), Eva Faith (5) Heidi Ruby (3). Joseph Thomas (7) and Edward Jack (1) who was born just after the King's death.
The family and the royal were for now complete until of course the heirs would get married and produce heirs of their own but that was a long way off.
The End
