Her

Glynn's POV

————————————————————————————————————
"We've been here two weeks and we've seen absolutely no sight of her. I'm starting to doubt if this princess exists." My childhood best friend Alex grumbled. "It's utterly ridiculous! They are the ones who proposed this treaty in the first place." He paced the room in frustration.

Alex was the best friend I could ask for, even if he got annoyed easily. We've known each other our whole lives, and I always brought him to escort me on trips.

"I'm sorry sir, but it's a very complicated situation. We'll explain it to you as soon as we can." The Queen's advisor awkwardly stumbled. Alex finally sat down and let out an exasperated sigh. The advisor stood there quietly, not sure if he should leave or nor. Finally I decided to say something.

"Tell Her Majesty that we have been very patient so far, but if she does not show us the princess tomorrow we will be leaving and the treaty will be off." I said firmly

The advisor nodded and left in a hurry, probably in order to inform the Queen.

"Was that your effort to get out of this arranged marriage?" Alex said with a smirk. He knew how much I hated the idea of this marriage.

"Maybe I'm hoping she won't show up, just a little bit." Alex chuckled

"I don't blame you, this whole thing is a sham."

"Yes, but I promised my father I would follow through on this."

"I really don't see how he could ask you to do this, even if it's for the good of the kingdom." I sighed at Alex's remark. I've explained the situation to him multiple times. Our kingdom, Dragaria, is a country that has been in and out of wars for centuries. My Father used to be known as the bloodhound of the east, but he's changed recently. In the last war we had my mother was killed. Since then my father has sworn off war. Tensions have been high with Aquaria for the pass few years, so when the Queen asked for a treaty my father gladly accepted. My marriage was the best way to seal that treaty.

"I don't want to have this conversation again. There's nothing we can do about it now." I said

Alex threw up his hand in submission while saying "Alright fine, I won't bring it up again." He stood up and looked out the window. "It's getting late, I should probably head to my room. Goodnight your Majesty."

Alex exited the room with a playful grin.

I flopped back on my bed and sighed. I really wasn't a fan of this situation. And what was with this Princess? She seemed to not to care about this treaty at all. I suspected that she was just another boring debutant, with her mind only filled with shoes and dances. I groaned with the thought of spending my life surrounded by talk of the "latest fashions". She also seemed to have no consideration for others, even a royal prince.

After lying there for some time I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to be able to fall asleep. I decided to go on a walk. The garden was beautiful but I was walking too fast to really appreciate it. Finally I stopped at a fountain at the center of the garden.

The fountain reminded me of a fountain back home. It was in my mother's garden. She used to take us back there to tell us fairy tails and make wishes. She would have loved this one. Things would have been different is she was here. I would have to deal with yet another stuck up princess who thinks she's God's gift to the world. I was so sick of these princesses.
