" why on earth will you say that to your father. Kendall. " Jared gritted out after hitting his best friend on the head when he explained how the meeting with his father went.
" Hey, it is prince Ken. Please don't call me Kendall. Only my mother call me that. " Ken argues weakly. He knows that he shouldn't have said that big of a lie to his father but his brain was focus on removing the immediate threat and thinking about the future threat later.
" and apparently your girl friend when you do find her. " Jared pointed out.
" why will she. I never told my father that she calls me by my full name. "
" according to what you told me about your conversation with the king, she is shy. Now, every body knows your name is prince Kendall and the people you are close to call you Ken, she being shy means that she will always revert back to calling you Kendall. You started the make believe story, connect the dots. " Jared explained but Ken just groaned.
He never expected that it will be like this but what was he think. Right now he made his father curious by saying he is in love with this girl and made the king extra curious about her when he opened his mouth and said that she is an elite but a shy girl.
" what should I do. " Ken asks his friend who raised an eyebrow at him...
" why are you asking me, I am not the one getting married to a girl I have never seen or a bratty princess, why do I have to think of a solution. "
" how can I marry her when she doesn't exist. " Ken confusingly asks.
" oh, she better exists, you will find a girl who will be able to play the role to perfection and also not be under Fallon's command. " Jared said then looked at Ken who shook his head.
" it is impossible to see that kind of girl. "
" I know so you, my friend, are in deep waters. Do you want me to get your mother while you rehearse the apology you will say to your father. " Jared got up to move towards the door.
" I can't tell my father that it is a lie. He will have me married to Fallon faster than I can brink. " Ken complains.
" I have been trying to provide solutions for you now, your turn. What do you want to do. " Jared asks Ken as he flops back on Ken's bed.
" stall. " Ken said after a while of thinking. " stall for as long as I can while we think of something better. "
" this might back fire on your face. " Jared warns.
" it might but as long as I don't end up married to somebody I hate or married at all, it will be worth it. "
" that is your master plan. Sometimes, you are as dull as you are ugly. " Jared said with a shake of his head.
" you know I am very handsome. Admit it. " Ken ribs Jared who glared at him.
" sometimes I fear for this kingdom future when you take the throne. " Jared mumbled under his breathed then shouted at Ken. " no comments. "

The people surrounding the carriage were quiet as they moved quickly hoping to dump the rude princess in the castle. Then she will become their problem over there, although you would not know this with the way the carriage is filled with laughter.
" so you are going to be queen now. " Fallon maidservant Betsy asks with such deep adoration that it is pretty clear from the sound of her voice.
" of course I will be queen. It is my destiny. " Fallon said with a smile as she snaps her fingers and Betsy traded the necklace resting on her neck for another.
" I never doubted it, my royal highness. I always knew you would be an amazing queen, anything less is beneath of you. " Betsy praised Fallon who admired the new necklace while soaking in all the praises that Betsy was showering on her.
" I know, change this one. I want to look perfect for when Ken sees me and goes slack jaw as he admires my beauty. "
" you don't need jewelries for that. You already shine as bright as the sun. "
" I know but I want everything to be perfect and I don't want tongues to wag thinking that I cannot afford a set of brilliant necklaces. "
" then go with your signature diamonds. " Betsy offers.
" no, I want to look my best and everybody always see me in them, I want a better look. "
" there is no better look your highness, when it was crafted they made it the best in kingdoms far and wide so that none can outshone it. "
" true. " Fallon nodded. " but I think I will tire of it soon. "
" then get your husband to make you another world best... This one can take the second place to that one then you will hold the first and second most amazing jewelry pieces in your hands. "
Fallon nods " I love that idea. "
" I have one wish my royal highness. " Betsy started shyly.
" go on. " Fallon orders.
" I want to be your royal hand maiden when you become queen. "
" oh Betsy, of course you get to be my royal hand maiden. I get the best of everything and you are the best. " Fallon said as Betsy cheeks strained red.
" thank you, your highness. I will do my best to serve you better. " Betsy gushes out as she laughs in happiness.

It has been a long week for Ken, his father kept on asking about his beloved and he tries to be as vague as possible but he kept on digging himself into a hole. And Jared refuses to help.
" your highness, wait up. " Jared said as he rushes to Ken said after Ken successfully escaped another round of questioning from his father.
" what. " Ken snaps at Jared.
" whoa, " Jared shifts away from his friend. " some one is on a grumpy mood. "
" I don't have the time or strength for your jokes Jared. What is it. " Ken's said heatedly.
" nothing, just that your future bride has arrived and you are required to welcome her. It is the law. " Jared said as Ken face twisted into a look he always seem to he wearing for the past one week.
The look of horror.
