" welcome to the castle, princess Fallon. " Ken gritted out with a fake smile on his lips.
" the pleasure is mine, prince Ken. " Fallon purred as she offers her hand to Ken who bent over it and bestowed a kiss on it, then tucked it by his side.
It is a pleasure for Fallon but torture for Ken not that he would allow it to show. Being a king means to mask your feelings and fight through the ugly situations. And no matter how much of a beauty the girl he is leading to the throne room to pay respect to his parents is. He still counts this as one of the most ugliest situations he has ever been in.
" your highness. " Jared said with a twist of his lips and a slight bow which mocked Fallon.
" Jared. " snided Fallon
" you are still haughty. " Jared asks.
" and you still have no respect. It is royal highness. "
" no, it is only that if you are in line to the throne. Last time I checked you have two brothers. " Jared taunted
" I will soon be the queen of the kingdom so Watch your mouth. " Fallon eyes flashed in anger.
Ken body went rigid but Fallon was not paying attention. " I would not count your chicks before they hatch if I were you" Jared said the added as an after thought " your highness. "
" what do you mean. " Fallon fumed.
" nothing you should worry your pretty little head about. Let me not stop you. Be on your way... " Jared said as he offered another mocking bow to Fallon.
Before Fallon could open her mouth to complain Ken swepted her into the palace while he payed for calm.

In the throne room with Ken and his parents Fallon looked around with unhidden glee, all this will soon be hers including the handsome prince. Although she lived in a castle, she doesn't need to look at the royal treasury to know that prince Ken family is more wealthy than hers. Although her parents kingdom is the same size with this one, she could tell that the difference was clear when it comes to how well the two kingdoms had fared.
" how is your father. " the queen asks, an embodiment of grace itself. Fallon will never admit it out but she was feeling a little bit jealous, even with all her jewels and best clothes, the queen who wore a drab out of fashion gown, out shone her.
Her clothes made her look beautiful but in the queen case it was the opposite, she made the clothes look beautiful but then again she could see where Ken got his looks from, the king even at his age looks fit and handsome and the queen is magnificent because there is no other word that can be used to describe her.
With those two as parents, their child would look magnificent too. She could tell that Ken and her future child will inherit good looks and genes.
" he is fine. " Fallon said as she beamed a smile at the queen direction.
" your mind seems to be far away dearie, do tell what you are thinking about. " the queen said with a smile.
" I was just think about how beautiful you look and the king look handsome and I was imagining Ken and I future children. " Fallon said with a blush but not scared to repeat what was going on in her mind.
Ken started coughing after choking on his tea which he took a sip from the same moment Fallon said what was in her mind. " Kendall, are you alright. " his mother inquired when he got his coughing under control.
" I am quite fine, your majesty. " Ken replied still releasing little coughs to clear his airway.
" are you alright. " Fallon as she she puts her hand on Ken shoulder and fixed a worried expression in her face.
Ken shank away from her touch and it hurt Fallon feelings but she shrugged it off. " Ken, don't do that to Fallon. She is a good girl. "
" whatever you say. " Ken agreed with his father just to prevent a quarrel.
" you are getting married to me, you need to be comfortable to my touch. " Fallon said but Ken couldn't hold it any more. He has been on his best behavior but she kept pushing him. He snorted at her statement.
" keep tell yourself that. " Ken said to Fallon.
" I don't understand. " Fallon said with a wrinkled eyebrow then she remembered that frowning is not good for her skin so she quickly straighten her eyebrows.
" Ken... " the king warns but Ken had already flew of the handle.
" here is what is going on Fallon. The council without my approval went for you and decided that you are going to be my wife. What they don't know is that I already love somebody else. My beloved might be shy when it comes to crowd and mingling with others but she won't let someone take something that belongs to her without a fight. Thank you for tea mother. " Ken said as he stood up and left ignoring his father's calls.
" di- d, did h-he..." Fallon stuttered in surprise.
" don't worry. He will return to his senses soon. " the king reassures Fallon but she couldn't shake the feeling she was having. The feeling that is telling her that she will lose this at a long run so it would be better to leave now but because of her prideful nature, Fallon didn't do what her mind told her.. No, she decided that she will fighting for Ken affections. No, that is not right. She will fight for the position of being a queen.

" you said that to them. " Jared asked in a shocked tone.
" yes. " Ken groans.
" no wonder you are out here hiding in my room. " Jared amused tone just irked Ken further.
" would you just focus. " Ken snaps at Jared.
" I am focused but then again, your marriage, your lie, your problem. " Jared shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn't care less.
" great friend you are. " Ken says with sacrasm dripping from his tone.
" don't I know it. " Jared answered completely ignoring the sacrasm.
A knock sounded on Jared door. " enter. " Jared commanded and a maid entered inside.
" what is wrong " Ken asked the girl who was taking in deep breaths.
" princess Fallon is rearranging your room to fit her things inside. " the maid gasp out.
