The next morning after breakfast Helia got a message to meet his parents at the gazebo to discuss something of importance.
Meeting the king and queen, he took a seat around a small table fit for four people.
"What was so important that we have to discuss it all the way up here?" Helia asked.
"Son, it is time for you to find a bride." His father replied. "You are twenty-one going on twenty two in a matter of months."
"I have found a bride." The blue hair male informed them. "I purposed to Flora yesterday so all we need to do is set a date for the wedding."
"You are not marrying that peasant!" His mother yelled.
"Why mother? I love Flora more than anything or anyone. She is the one for me and there is nothing that you can say that will convince me otherwise." He yelled back.
"That girl is a no good peasant and is only after your money and the title." His mother replied.
"Enough!" The king came in. "Sweetie you don't know if that girl is after Helia for his money and Helia maybe you should wait a bit longer before marrying her."
"No!" The queen hissed. "Helia, you are not marrying her and that's final."
Helia got up and walked away from the conversation to avoid a confrontation.
He loved Flora more than he had ever loved anyone in his life and knew she was the one for him.
"Riven!" The queen yelled.
The purple hair Specialist who was not too far away ran towards the couple. "Yes, your highness."
"I want to know where this Flora girl lives immediately." She said.
"I can take you to her current resides right now." He told her. "It is on the way to the city."
"Prepare the car, I shall be coming down soon." She stated.
"Yes, your majesty." Riven ran off.
"Honey, say out of Helia's love life." The king stated, getting up. "This is the first girl that he has ever been in love with so she must be something special."
Walking off, he left his wife alone to voice her hate for the brunette hair beauty.
At a café Helia sat across from Flora who was drinking her smootie. "This taste delicious." She smiled. "When I reach home I am going to try and make one. Helia, you sure you don't want to try one?"
"Um…"
She reached forward to touch his shoulder. "Honey, are you alright?"
"Sorry. What were you saying?" He replied.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I am not. My father is for us getting married but my mother is not." He informed her. "She knows I love you beyond my heart but refuse to accept it since you are not of high society."
"Oh." She said, sadly, putting down her drink.
"My Flower don't look so sad. One day you are going to be my wife and the future queen of Linpeha." He reassured her. "Please show me your beautiful smile."
Flora blushed while a small smile formed on her lips.
"That's it. I love you and you alone Flora."
"I love you too, Helia." They leaned forward to share a short kiss.
"Here is your order." A waitress came to the table with two burgers.
"Thank you." Flora said.
The waitress who had blonde shoulder length hair, orange eyes, fair skin and wore tight black mini skirt with a white shirt and a black acorn dropped Flora's burger in front of her before moving closer to Helia.
"Here you go your highness." She purred as she placed the meal gently in front of him. "Is there anything else I can get you?"
Flora looked at her while rolling her eyes. Helia loved her alone with a doubt and no one would take him away from her.
"A smootie." He replied.
"That's it?" She asked.
"Yes that it. Can you get it now? My fiancée and I have other places to go."
"Fiancée? I didn't not know you were engaged." She backed away. "I will get you that drink right away."
The female quickly walked away clearly embarrassed by the situation.
She soon came back with the drink with the bill.
"I will have to get use to girl hitting on you." Flora joked.
"Sorry about that." He said.
"It's okay; that just means I have a very hot and sexy fiancé." She told him.
"I will also have to get use to guys hitting on you." He indicated to a table with two guys looking lustfully at her. "They are about the third and fourth guys since we came here that has been checking you out."
"You know you're the only guy for me." Flora blew him a kiss.
"I know."
Eating their food, Helia paid from the bill before leaving to the beach.
A black town car stopped in front of Flora's house. Riven came out of it quickly with a red carpet.
"Guardsman come here." He said to Nabu.
Nabu jumped up and went to the car. "Yes? How may I help you?"
"Get the owners of the property. Tell them that the Queen is here to see them." Riven ordered.
"Yes sir." Nabu ran to get Faragonda seeing as she was the only one home at the moment.
About two minutes later Faragonda came outside with Nabu standing a few distances away.
Riven rolled out the short carpet in front of the door that the queen was closest to before opening the door.
The queen stepped out of the car and walked to where Faragonda stood. "Are you Flora's mother?"
"No, I am her aunt. She is recently moved here from a small village up in the mountains." The elderly lady answered.
"Well send her back." The Queen ordered. "She is a pain in my side that needs to go away. I will give you fifty thousand dollars to send her back before tomorrow and lie to Helia about it."
"Your highness…"
"Shut up!" The Queen yelled. "Flora has clearly casted a spell on my son and I want her gone by the time she comes back from her date with Helia. When he comes back here tomorrow tell him she passed away because of an accident and she has been sent back to her village to be buried."
"Yes, your highness." Faragonda replied.
The queen threw down the sack of money to the ground. "Get to it or else she won't be the only person that I will make disappear."
Nabu had made sure that he was far enough away for the Queen not to see him but close enough to overhear the conversation. He then watched as the Queen and Riven got back into the car while Faragonda took up the money.
The car then drove away while Faragonda carried the bag inside.
Nabu thought. 'Poor Prince Helia and Flora.'
