EVENING, GOLDEN PALACE*

Prince Zayne paced back and forth in front of the King's chamber, his body language radiating impatience. He had been trying to meet with the King for a while, but the King was busy receiving guests. Zayne's frustration grew with each passing moment.

He wanted straight answers to his questions,just why the hell would the king want him to get married? Why him and not his brothers? He's just twenty two of heaven sake,He's not ready for marriage,not even in ten years time. 

One of the guards approached him respectfully after some minutes

"Your Highness, please be patient. The King will summon you as soon as he is done with his meetings. He will send word to your quarters,I will come over to deliver his message" he said with a bow. 

Zayne let out a deep sigh and nodded a little then he started walking away, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. As he turned a corner, he encountered a maid who immediately stopped in front of him and bowed. 

"Your highness, Queen Vynessa requests your presence" she said in a low voice. 

Zayne's expression changed from frustration and rolled his eyes,he ignored the maid and turned toward the direction of his mother's quarter. 

Getting there,the bodyguards instantly bowed for him and he entered through the entrance door. 

Queen Vynessa was sitting on a couch and Samara was right beside her,they both looked up when Zayne entered. 

"Son...."

"Mom what exactly is going on? Please don't tell me father did not inform you before announcing that shit on live show" Zayne snapped. 

"Zayne!" Queen Vynessa yelled at him. 

"I'm not getting married mom,I've been trying to see him myself and inform him but his guests kept coming and coming" Zayne rolled his eyes. 

"Why me? Why not Theny and Thorin? They are four years older than me and would be taking over the throne,so what's my business in all these? What?!" He shouted. 

"You know how your father is like,once he makes a decision,he wouldn't reverse it back...."

"So what good is he doing me by getting me married while still in school?! This is bull shit!" Zayne shouted. 

"Come on Zayne,calm down" Samara said. 

"You don't even know anything because this doesn't concern you okay?" Zayne snapped and she sighed. 

"But mom,why would father want him to get married?" Samara asked. 

"If not for his waywardness then what else? I've warned you countless times but you wouldn't listen Zayne,so don't blame anyone for this...."

"Oh I see,you're trying to say this marriage is like a punishment to me?" Zayne asked. 

"Obviously" Samara scoffed. 

"He's making a mistake" Zayne mumbled and stormed out of the room.

He got to his own quarter and want straight into his bedroom,he was on my trying hard to control himself from breaking things at this point. 

His blood was boiling so much,just then his phone started ringing on the bed,he sighed and picked the phone to see Erica on the line,he answered. 

Erica is a princess from another kingdom,aside that they are childhood friends,it's even a surprise that the two families never for once talked about marriage between them. 

Erica: What the fuck is this news I just heard? You're getting married?!

Zayne: Not when I've not agreed.

Erica: So you think you have a say in this at all?

Zayne: I don't fucking care,all I know is that I'm not getting married. 

Erica: We both know the king won't change his decision,and that's why I'm getting the application for tomorrow. 

Zayne; What are you talking about? What form?

Erica: To be your fiancee of course,you want to marry a total stranger then?

Zayne sighed and run his fingers through his soft hair. 

Erica: I'm doing this for you okay? I need to win this so we can finally be together. 

Zayne: I would prefer that to a total stranger.

Erica smiled. 

They kept on talking and finally she was able to make Zayne laugh again. 

*

PRINCE THORIN'S QUARTER*

"Actually,I'm still wondering,why would father want to get Zayne a fiancee?" Thorin asked Theny who was busy with his phone on the bed. 

"What else? To stop his playboy lifestyle of course" Theny replied. 

"Are you sure that's the reason? I don't feel good about this at all" Thorin mumbled. 

"What other reason might be there? We both know how stupid that kid is,He's probably doing this to tie him down at least" Theny said. 

"Yeah,you're right. But why not us at least? I mean we are older...."

"Oh please,I'm not ready for that shit called marriage and you know that" Theny immediately snapped and Thorin laughed. 

"What are you scared of exactly?" He asked. 

"Everything" Theny scoffed. 

"Let's forget about him,how's the company doing on your side these days?" Thorin asked. 

"Great,how about you?" 

"I have an important meeting tomorrow,and I'm quite nervous,that contract is fucking expensive" Thorin said 

"Do you want my help?" Theny asked. 

"You can just come with me,my confidence would be greater with you around" Thorin said and Theny nodded.

ROYAL R'S MANSION*

The living room was filled with the sounds of laughter, shouting, and electronic beeps. Chase and Grey were both engrossed in a heated video game battle, their eyes fixed on the screen as they competed aggressively. The room was noisy, the TV blasting the game's soundtrack and the two friends trash-talking each other,none of them ready to give up. 

"Give up already guy,you're fighting a lost battle" Chase said. 

"It's not bad if you admit that you're scared of me attacking again,you've been trying to force me to give up" Grey chuckle. 

On the couch, Rocky sat with his phone in hand, oblivious to the commotion around him. He scrolled through his social media feeds, his face bathed in the glow of the screen. He occasionally chuckled or nodded to himself, but otherwise, he ignored Chase and Grey's antics.

The only missing member of the group was Starr, who was likely holed up in his room, pursuing his own interests.

"Gosh,some girls are crazy" Rocky shook his head. 

"Another nude?" Grey and Chase faced him at the same time. 

"More than I can count this time,what the heck? To check my dms these days sound so impossible" Rocky said. 

"What do you expect? You love posting yourself shirtless and in shorts,they probably got wet just by staring" Chase said and Grey laughed. 

"This is not funny but I'm enjoying It" Rocky chuckled and shook his head. 

He started a live video and immediately about ten thousand already watching in two minutes. 

Among them all,He's the social media freak,He's a model as well so he spends a lot of time on social media than others. 

Everyone of them have their own insta account but they hardly upload pictures,their fans always dying of long waits,especially Starr,he posts at most three times in a year,and he's got some crazy fans that are madly obsessed with him. 

Hundred thousand fans already watching Rocky even though he hasn't said a word,comments just kept on coming. 

👥 You're so handsome

👥 Oh my Rocky

👥 How are you doing?

👥 Can you show us others please?

👥 I miss Starrr!! Please

👥 Grey and Chase please

👥 Can you show us our hot prince?

"I can't believe this,I'm the one on live but they keep asking for you dummies" Rocky said. 

Chase and Grey didn't even hear whatever he was saying 

"Yessssssss!!!!!!" Grey suddenly exclaimed and thew the game control away. 

He just won the game.

"You're embarrassing me" Rocky groaned. 

Grey came close and blew kisses to the camera,the comment section turned upside down,

It even got worse when Chase joined. 

Now just Starr remaining and they keep on asking for him. 

"That little cutie might be sleeping already" Rocky said. 

"Just go on and check up on him" Chase and Grey pushed Rocky. 

"Fine fine" Rocky chuckled and got up. 

He continue talking to the fans as he climbed the stairs and finally he knocked on Starr's door. 

"User unavailable" Starr answered from inside. 

Rocky chuckled and opened the door anyway.

"What" Starr groaned. 

"Don't act rude to me,I'm on live" Rocky said. 

Starr scoffed,Rocky turned the camera to him and he waved slowly. 

"Hi,how are you all doing?" 

"Goodnight,thanks" He bowed and turned away. 

Rocky couldn't stop laughing when he began reading the comments. 

"They said you're cute" 

"Go out" Starr muttered. 

"Guys,I think we need to call it a day here,goodnight" Rocky said and ended the live video. 

"What are you doing here all alone?" He asked. 

"Spending quality time with myself,it was too loud downstairs" Starr replied. 

"So you prefer isolating yourself?" Rocky asked and sat down on the bed. 

"Isolating? I'm just trying to rest my head" Starr replied and left the bed. 

"What are you waiting for?" He asked,getting a drink from the fridge in the room. 

"I'm not going out,let me join you. Chase and Grey were not talking to me either,that was why I started the live" Rocky replied. 

"Oh,so what should we do now?" Starr looked at him. 

"I should be asking you that" Rocky said. 

"Movie?" Starr asked. 

"Horror" Rocky smirked. 

"You know how much I hate anything scary,do you want to kill me?" Starr scoffed and Rocky laughed. 

"I'm not wicked but I love your face when you're scared,and don't worry I will be right beside you" Rocky said. 

"And you expect me to trust you? It's not about watching alone,I'm definitely going to have nightmares as well" Starr said. 

"Then I will sleep beside you all night...."

The door opened and Grey entered. 

"What are you two Planning?" He asked. 

"Movie,wanna join?" Starr asked. 

"Come on! I thought it's just us" Rocky said. 

"I don't trust you like I said,you might just lock me up here after watching the silly horror movie" Starr said and Grey laughed. 

"I'm not that heartless,you're hurting my feelings" Rocky touched his chest. 

"What am I missing out?" Chase entered as well. 

"Why my room please?" Starr groaned in frustration. 

"Sorry" The three boys said at once and fell on the bed. 

"Who called Zayne?" Grey suddenly asked. 

"Oops,nobody. I will do that now" Rocky muttered and immediately dialed Zayne's number.

NEXT MORNING, GOLDEN PALACE*

Charlotte stood frozen in the grand courtyard of the palace, her eyes scanning the overwhelming scene before her,covered with multitude of girls. 

As she gazed out at the sea of different faces, Charlotte felt her heart sink. The courtyard was packed with elegant, refined young women, each one more beautiful than the last. They chatted and laughed, their voices like music, as they waited for the next thing to do. 

 The air was electric with anticipation, and Charlotte felt like an outsider looking in.

The girls were dressed in their finest attire, showcasing their wealth and status. Silk and satin gowns in every color of the rainbow rustled and shimmered in the sunlight, adorned with intricate lace, delicate embroidery, and sparkling jewels. Their hair was styled in elaborate coiffures, and their faces were painted with subtle, alluring cosmetics.

In stark contrast, Charlotte felt woefully out of place. Her simple, worn dress seemed dull and faded amidst the splendor surrounding her. Her hair was plain and unadorned, and her face was bare of makeup. She wore no jewels, only a small, leather-bound necklace that had been her mother's. As she looked around, she felt like a small, insignificant flower amidst a garden of exotic blooms.

The sheer number of girls was daunting, and Charlotte wondered how she would ever stand out in such a crowd. How could she possibly hope to catch the Prince's eye when so many others seemed more qualified, more refined, and more beautiful? The thought sent a pang of despair through her heart, and she felt like turning and fleeing, abandoning her foolish dreams forever.

"What am I going to do now? I need to go to school" she mumbled tearfully as she bit her nails while moving backward without watching her back until she suddenly bumped into someone. 

"Ahh!!!! Are you blind?!!!" The scream made Charlotte jump,she turned. 

Erica glared at her disgustingly,she's definitely the best dressed among everyone Charlotte has seen. Maids are even following her,she's obviously a princess. 

"I'm sorry....."

"Shut up! Is this riffraff also here for my Zayne?! Really? This is irritating,give me water I need to wash my hand! Right now!" She yelled. 

"Here your highness" a maid immediately handed her a bottle of water. 

Before Charlotte could do anything,Erica was already washing her hand on Charlotte's head. 

The maids blinked in shock but none of them uttered a word. 

"What the f+ck do you think you're doing you bi+ch!" Charlotte yelled angrily and pushed Erica off. 

"How dare you touch me!" Erica screamed. 

"You ugly asshole! You soaked my clothes,are you dumb! Did I touch you intensionally? You spoilt brat of a spoiled nation!" Charlotte yelled back. 

"Guards!!!" Erica shouted. 

Five guards covered Charlotte up immediately. 

"Take her away! Throw her out!" Erica yelled. 

They were about carrying her. 

"Stop" A voice said and Erica frowned. 

They all turned to see princess Calantha coming and they all bowed at once,Charlotte bowed also. 

"Erica that's enough" Calantha said softly. 

"She disrespected me sis...."

"I said that's enough,leave" Calantha snapped. 

Erica glared at Charlotte before storming away,her maids followed her. 

The guards also left and Calantha smiled at Charlotte. 

"Why are you here? In that outfit?" She asked. 

"I'm sorry..but...this is all I have" Charlotte replied. 

Calantha looked around. 

"What time is the selection starting?" She asked her maids. 

"In thirty minutes your highness" They chorused. 

"Good...come with me" she said to Charlotte who was confused but followed without arguments. 

They continue walking until the entered Calantha's quarter. 

She took her to her dressing room and Charlotte almost gasped,are they selling clothes here?!

"Dress her up" Calantha ordered her maids and Charlotte's eyes widened. 

"Do something about her hair,there should be a perfect shoe for her...a pretty dress would do also" Calantha told them and they got to worn immediately. 

Within twenty minutes they were done,,by the time Charlotte stood in front of the mirror,she almost failed to recognize herself. 

She was looking absolutely stunning and gorgeous!!!

*

Amidst all,Zayne was still bent on trying to convince the king to reverse his decision,since yesterday the king had refused to talk to him. 

He had to force the guards out of the chamber entrance and sneaked in. 

He passed through the first living room but it was empty,he was approaching the second one when he began to hear the king speaking with another man,probably one of the royal elders. 

He wasn't to burst in but decided to wait. 

"Your majesty,if I may ask. Why do you suddenly want the youngest prince to get married?" The elder asked and there was silence before the king answered. 

"You know about my health and illness....I have just short time left to live" King Ryker said and Zayne's eyes widened. 

"I have to make things Right before I leave,and Zayne is the main purpose of whatever I'm going to do,because he was born to be the head,that silly kid just doesn't know the kind of responsibility he has on his shoulders" The king coughed. 

Zayne swallowed,still not getting it. 

"I've made my decision on who would take over my crown since ten years ago,I just decided to keep it within myself or it would be war,even though the war can never be avoided when I'm gone" The king said. 

"Who is going to get crowned? Your majesty" 

"My youngest son....Zayne,he's the best person and safest person for me to leave the throne for" The king replied. 

That moment,Zayne's head banged,his eyes grew wider and tears poured out of his eyes. 

This is not happening...Right?
