Hey guys! Me again.

Have fun reading fellas!

Here you were with a guitar on your hands. It was a sleek matte brown guitar, the wood reflecting the light of the setting sun into your eyes with it's curves resting on your knee and your other arm, ready for you to play a soft melody that will help you end the day peacefully and lovingly to welcome the night. Yet, there was one small thing you wanted to do first...

You wanted to smash the damn thing and destroy it with your bare hands to the point where it can't be fixed.

"Hey (Y/N), you okay? You seem to be stressed out." Raps asked. She joined you out on the balcony of your room.

"Just a bit angry, that's all. I mean, I just can't seem to figure out how to play this stupid thing!" You put the guitar down as you stood up from your chair and looked at the view, leaning on the railings with your arms slightly crossed.

"Look (Y/N), I don't think the guitar's the one you've been stressing about."

"You do? You asked with quizzical eyebrows.

"I'm really sorry that you have to do this, but it's the only way to connect both of our kingdoms. We need to help them, especially with their connection to the black rocks." She looked at you with deep regret and was feeling guilty that you had to go through this.

"I know, it's just that... I've always wanted what you and Eugene have. You guys just click with each other you know? The way you look each other in the eyes and feel that everything's gonna be alright You love each other so much that you're willing to do anything. Now that I'm getting married to that prince, I don't think I have a shot at true love anymore." To be honest, you felt scared going through this.

She puts her arm around your shoulder. "Look, I'm your big sister okay? I'll be here every step of the way. Whatever you need, don't hesitate to come to me and talk about it okay.

"Thanks Raps, you're the best sister I could ever ask for." You turned to her and gave her a big hug as the sun was setting in the background, getting ready for the night time.



















*the next day*

"Your Royal Highness, may I present King Quirin and Prince Varian of the Dark Kingdom." Nigel said as the throne room door opens, presenting the two of them. You all stood up from your thrones and your father was ready to greet them.

"King Quirin, it is an honor to make your acquaintance. King Frederic said with a loud and stern voice. As they were talking, your eyes glanced over to see the prince. Varian, was his name right? He looked cute though with his dangling hair over his eyes, and a noticeable blue streak in his hair. He looked very serious though. It looked like he meant business.

"So it is set then. Tomorrow morning, we are about to unite our kingdoms with the marriage of our beloved children." Quirin said.

You suddenly snapped back to reality. It finally hit you. You were getting married, to a TOTAL STRANGER. You couldn't fathom what you were feeling right now. It felt so heavy. You felt no one would understand you, even if you talked about it. They weren't the ones going through this. You were.

You stood up from your throne and walked out. You could hear their voices but you couldn't care less. You stomped back into your room and laid down on your bed crying.

I'm very sorry about that King Quirin, I promise you that everything's fine and the wedding tomorrow will be perfect." Your father now tuned his attention to Faith.

"Please bring them our guests to their rooms where they will be staying for the night."King Frederic said as Faith happily obliged.

*later that afternoon*

You sat up on your bed wiping the tears of your face as you grabbed your guitar, trying to focus your attention on something else rather than thinking of the day ahead of you tomorrow. You tried to practice the chords that Eugene taught you, but you forgot almost every single one of them. Every time you strummed the guitar, it sound so much out of tune.

Coincidentally, Varian room was right next to yours. He couldn't help but hear your struggled attempts at playing the guitar. Thinking that he might get to know you a little more, he wanted to help you out. He got up and headed to your room.

You heard a knock on the door. You thought it was Eugene cause you told him you still needed a lot more help in playing and you thought he finally came up to help you.

"Come in!" You said as you were still focused on the guitar.

"Uhm, hey...." Varian said as he slowly opened the door, not expecting for you to be that welcoming.

"Oh, it's you. I thought you were someone else. What do you want?" You had a little salty attitude at the time which was shocking since you really don't act like that at all.

"It's just that I wanted to help you."

"Help me with what exactly?"

"That." He said as he pointed to the guitar that you were holding with your hands.

"Uh huh pfft no thank you, I can play perfectly fine thank you very much." You tried to play it off cool so he wouldn't bother you anymore.

"Yeah sure, then play something." He smirked as he challenges you.

"I don't have to prove anything to you, you know that right?"

"Yeah, I know that but..... it does prove your a liar."

What a smug boy. You can't believe your getting married to this insulting wicked prince. You wanted to smash your guitar on his pretty little face. As you were about to ask him to leave your room he sits next to you and grabs your guitar.

"Here, let me show you how it's done princess. He said as he smiled sweetly, dropping the arrogant facade of his that he had on.

As he put his fingers on the strings, he began to play a lovely melody. He seemed so into it. You saw him get lost to the music he was playing and closed his eyes. As he was strumming a soft melody, you began to notice small details about him. He looked adorable with his freckles. You wanted to comb your fingers and play with his hair.

He finally finished and you didn't notice that you were practically staring at him.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked, thinking you were daydreaming about something.

"Uhm, oh yeah! That was good, I guess." You fiddled with your words as you became nervous. You didn't know why though.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you how to play the guitar. Here, hold it." He gestured you to take it. As you took the guitar, he wrapped his other arm around your shoulder to hold the guitar's neck as he scooted next to you.

"Wait, what are you doing?" You asked, feeling your heart beating faster by the second.

"I'm gonna help you with your chords, relax you're gonna get it in no time." He said confidently.

He began to hold your hand, trying to position it on the guitar's strings. He was trying so hard to not let you notice that he was nervous as well. In his eyes, you looked beautiful. As he taught you the melody, you began to get better at it.

When you finished, you wanted to turn to his face to say thank you. As you faced him, you noticed how close your faces were. He looked at your (e/c) eyes and dropped his gaze to your lips. Your breathing grew heavier. As he was getting closer, you stood up from your bed.

"Thank you for teaching me Prince Varian. I think I got it now." You said as you averted your gaze.

He stood up as well. "No problem, anything for my future wife."

"Oh shut up." You said as you pushed him to the door. You couldn't deny that you could see that something might happen between the two of you. Maybe your chance at love isn't fully gone yet.

"I assure you (Y/N), once we get married tomorrow, I'll also teach you how to fall in love with me." He said as you were about to close the door.

"Bye, see you tomorrow!" You said as you shut the door on his face.

Though the truth is, you already began learning to love him. You just didn't know it yet.
