A/N: Thank you for the follow/favorites. I really appreciate them. I also LOVE reviews. So please review, it will mean a lot to me! I also have other chapters written and I also know what I want to happen! So for those who are reading this...the story is just starting and will start getting better. Also I think I am going to get on a regular schedule of updating every Sunday.

Who is this man? How long has he worked at the palace? Have I seen him, but never really noticed him? So many questions I wanted answers to. What was his name? Does he have a family?
I finally brought myself back to reality, when I realized, I was still staring at him. I looked away and kept walking towards the gazebo. Hopefully, when I get to the gazebo, I could think. I need to think.
So many thoughts are going through my head. Thoughts about my Birthday Ball. Thoughts about Garrett and my father. Thoughts about that man I saw working in the garden.
Once I was at the gazebo, I sat down to think. What was I going to do? When suddenly I heard someone calling my name.
"Miss Isabella. Are you ok?" It was Angela. I'm actually happy she came looking for me. I can tell her what's going on in my head. All my thoughts.
"Yes. I just needed time alone to think." I said while giving her a hug.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I nodded. I needed to get this off my chest.
"My father keeps asking me why I won't marry Garrett. He knows the answer why I won't. I just don't love him, Angela. Just because he is royalty doesn't mean I have to marry him. According to my dad, I do. While that is going on, I have to help my mother set up The Ballroom for my birthday. I'm just stressed out. I know it is only two things, but they are two very big things, and I am just stressing out." I was starting cry by now. I didn't know what to do. My biggest problem is my father and Garrett. Angela pulled me into a great big hug, just to let me cry me tears until I was finished.
"Oh Isabella, I know it is hard. Please don't cry. I know you are strong and I know sometimes you don't feel strong, but you always are." I knew she was trying to comfort me. I loved Angela for that. Once I finished crying, I asked Angela to take me to my room, so I could freshen up. Before we went inside, I caught one more glance at the bronze haired man. I hoped I would see him again.
When we arrived at my room, I decided to take a shower before dinner. The shower almost felt as if it was my stress reliever. Angela helped dry my hair and put on my dress. I only wear those big, puffy dresses at special events, but around the house I wear knee length dresses that flow in the wind.
"Your Highness. Dinner is ready." Riley said through the door. Riley was our butler. He was good looking, but not my type.
I arrived at the dining room to see my parents were already there. Dinner was delicious. Even though dinner at the palace was always good. I was enjoying my dinner until my father had something to say.
"Bella, you have to marry Garrett. He loves you and would be devastated if you didn't. I don't see anything wrong with the guy." Of course he brings it up, again.
"He doesn't love me and I don't love him. He may say everyday that he loves me and all but I can see it in his eyes that he doesn't. He's a total lady's man also. Why do we always have to have this discussion." I was getting angry and emotional at the same time. I wish he didn't control my love life.
"Bella, this is what's best for you."
"No, it's not! Why can't you let me live my own life!"
"You are going to be The Queen soon and you need the proper person to be the The King." That is when I excused myself and walked quickly out of the room.
Please review! :)
