" so how did I do. " Annabelle asked Jared and Ken after dinner when they went to Ken room.
" you were splendid. You had the queen on your side. " Jared said as he twirled her round and kissed her cheeks then danced out of Ken's reach when he moved to deck Jared.
" mine. " Ken growled Possessively as Jared laughed
" she is yours, I am not dragging her with you. You two are a prefect fit. "
" is Jared okay. " Annabelle asked Ken who has a look of doubt on his face.
" I am not so sure. " Ken replied Annabelle question as he eyes his friend who was humming and twirling around his room, with a look in his eyes that said he is ready to call the guards any minute now to take Jared to the infirmary ward.
" did you see the look on Fallon face. No matter how hard she tries to act cheerful, her emotions were swimming in her eyes. " Jared said with a laugh as Ken confused gaze cleared instantly.
Ken chuckles but Annabelle looked between the two of them now confused. " what is going on. "
" Jared hates Fallon so he is happy that you got to bring out that kind of emotion in Fallon. " Ken enlightened Annabelle.
Jared rolled his eyes. " the way you say it, it seems like it is only me that hate her. "
" you are the only one. " Ken informed Jared and then Jared opened his mouth to complain about what Ken said but Ken continues. " I don't hate her. I despise her. "
" well I think that she is nice. " Annabelle quips and the two boys turned around to stare at her.
" Belle, love. " Ken started.
" go easy on her. " Jared cuts in.
" you use nice for a servant who just went an extra mile to ensure you relaxation. You use the word nasty for something that is annoying and is irreparable. Fallon is nasty. "
" she acted nice to me. " Annabelle said in a small voice.
" she acts nice to everybody she just met, then her real character shows. She is the literal definition of a wolf in sheep clothing. " Jared spat out with so much force that Annabelle shifted away from him.
Ken held Jared shoulders. " okay, that is enough. You told me not to be hard on her but you look like you will soon jump on Belle and start hitting her head to the hardest surface you can find so that she will have it imprinted at Fallon is sick, on her brain. "
" okay. I will keep an open mind and not draw any conclusions on the topic. " Annabelle shurged
" conclude now, and your conclusion better be that she is evil. I pray that you never get to experience that evilness. " Jared warns.

The king watched his son and Annabelle moved around the castle like they always do. It is clear that his son was courting Annabelle. Why does it have to be that girl. He was happy when he heard his son say that he was in love but now he dreaded it, why does it have to be with a girl whose family is ostracized, not by law but by other elites.
Being in love is messy especially when it comes to separating the lovers. Ken will not take this lying down and the council will not agree to a queen whose family they hate. This is so going to hurt him later but there is nothing he can do about it. He is divided into two. As a king, he wants what is best for his kingdom. The best is to break Ken and Annabelle up and have Ken marry Fallon. As a father, he wants the best for his son and the best for his son is clearly the girl he is playing around with right now, Annabelle but she cannot be queen. The council will rebel and that will make the kingdom suffer. Being a king and a father is a difficult thing especially when you are pulled in different sides by your duties.
Well there is no way that he can continue to hide. The king sighed as he moved to the council room for the meeting that was waiting for him to start. The objective of the meeting is to make the council deliberate on prince Ken and his two potential wife. There can only be one queen. Who will the council chose.

Annabelle sighed in contentment as Ken plays the voilin. There isn't a life more fairy tale in nature than this one. She has to remember to tell herself that it isn't real and it won't last... She keeps forgetting because Ken pays attention to her like he was really wooing her. She know that it is all a show but still her heart refuse to listen to the half hearted comments that her brain sends. That is what happens when you give your heart to somebody and they have no idea that they have your heart. They can break it without knowledge and right now, Annabelle knows that her heart will get broken but still she cannot disengage her feelings for Kendall. She knows that she will have to leave him but she doesn't like think about it. When that bridge comes, she will cross it.
" if you didn't like the melody, you would have told me. " Ken said as he stopped playing.
" I did like it, love it even. " Annabelle replied then added in her mind what she would never allow herself to say out loud. * I will love anything you do. *
" then why the forlorn expression. " Ken asked as he moved to the futon seat besides Annabelle, then she rested on his shoulders as his hands wrapped around her. Their movements so well in sych that neither of them think about it anymore.
" it brought back memories. Pleasant memories. " Annabelle sighed as she rest her hand on Ken chest and took in a deep breath filled with Ken scent. Just what she needed.
" today is the council meeting. " Ken said without preamble, his hand stroking Annabelle hair.
Annabelle heart crashes at that. It seems like it is time to leave Kendall already. " oh. Okay. " she let's out masking her feelings. Masking the hurt that tears through her heart like a sharp knife .
