Damon's POV
My family was still sitting there waiting for an explanation on what the letter said. I still can't believe it, she chose me. Im honestly so happy, I can barely contain the joy that is spreading through me.
"Damon my boy what does it say. "my father asks
"the princess has asked me to return to the palace, and has offered a relationship proposal. "
It takes them a while to let the news set in. after about 30 maybe 40 seconds my mother leaps up from her chair and starts to have what I like to call a "happy dance".
"the princess has chosen my son for a husband, oh my lord my son. My son I cant believe it." She shrieks
"well done Damon, looks like you made a good impression on her grace." My father nods with a smirk.
" congrats brother." Stefan says in a hushed tone.
Stefan's reply causes' me to stop and think. Was he not happy for me. I make a note to myself to ask him sometime in the near future.
Part of me wonders why the princess chose me, I mean we never even spoke to each other. How in earth did my name pop into her head when she made her choice. God why do I always do this to myself, whenever I meet a girl and one of us has stronger feelings for the other. I always do this to myself, I question everything and fuck up any chance I have of happiness. But not this time im not going to over think this. Im going to make her happy.
WE will be happy.
I excuse myself from the table, completely forgetting about my breakfast. Once im out of the dinning hall, I head for my room to write a letter back to the princess. I know this is going by quickly, but I don't care. I know in my heart this is the right thing to do.
Caroline's POV
(2 weeks later- Damon's arrival at the palace)
When I received Damon's reply to my letter, I could not contain the happiness that spread from my toes to the top of my head. If it wasn't for Damon I would be greeting Tyler today. Damon arrived with his parents as well as his brother Stefan.
"Well come back lord and lady Salvatore, were so pleased you excepted our daughters invite back to the palace." My father greets them. Once again were back in the throne room.
"We're glad you extended the invitation, your grace. We're all very pleased that our son made a good impression to you." Lord Salvatore responds. But when he mentions 'good impression' I immediately look at Damon, who from what I can see is doing the same.
"right why don't we let these too wander the garden, while the parents have some tea. Stefan is there anything you would like to do." Mama says with her head held high like a true queen of Mystic falls (AN: I realized I never mentioned were they lived. I thought that I should probably do that.)
"um may I please help your servant's tend the horse's your majesty, I love horse's and I wouldn't mind helping around."
"im sure they would love the help Stefan, I to love horse's but almost never have time to help tend to them." It's true, I know it isn't right for a lady of my station to be getting her hands dirty with the horse's. But mama does sometimes let me have some fun doing what I love, something about it making myself a women of love.
Stefan nods and one of our maids leads him down to get him changed and lead him to the stables. Mama and Father lead the Salvatore's to the court yard for tea. Which left Damon and I alone to fend for ourselves. We stand awkwardly in the room until thankfully Damon breaks the uncomfortable silence.
"would you care for a stroll through the gardens, your grace." He spoke while extending his hand.
"Caroline please, and yes that would be lovely." I respond while placing my hand into his.
