Part 1

*Roman POV*

I'm out on the palace grounds, dueling with a knight. My father is finally letting me help fight in the war today, the very thing I've been preparing for my whole life.

The war between my kingdom, the Imaj Lands, and the Shadow Relm has been going on for ages. It's all about territory, as they invaded our lands. We've been fighting ever since.

"Ah-ha! I have bested you!" I say as I knock the sword out of the knight's grip.

I swiftly pick up the sword and turn the duel against him. He bows in submission.

"Very good, your highness," he says.

"Sir Logan, you don't have to call me that. Roman is just fine. Or prince if you're feeling formal," I say.

"And yet you still call me 'good sir knight' and 'sir Logan'," he says.

I laugh.

"Well, it sounds good!" I say.

He smiles. Logan and I have been friends for a while, and today is the last time I'll see him for a while. I'm not letting him go to war and risk his life, so I got him as my personal guard. And when I leave I'll make him my sister's guard so he doesn't come with me. I don't want him getting hurt.

"Everything alright, your- Roman?" Logan asks.

I nod.

"Yeah, why?" I ask.

"You've been staring at nothing for a minute and 43 seconds," Logan says.

I blink.

"Oh. My bad," I say, "Let's go get changed. I have a ball to attend and I must look my best," 

"Of course, my prince," Logan says.

He watches as I take 20 minutes to perfect my hair. My suit is always perfect, but my hair is a wild card. It's also my pride and joy, so I maintain it fairly well.

"Are you ready, my prince?" Logan asks.

"Yes," I say.

"Good. But your father has ordered your presence in the throne room before the ball, so I will escort you there," Logan says.

My heart plummets. Being ordered to the throne room is like the equivalent of being called to the principal's office at school. Or at least from what Logan's told me, it is.

"Hello, Father, Mother," I say, bowing as I enter.

"Hello son," Father says, "We have an important matter to discuss with you,"

I'm uneasy, as this could either be good or bad.

"What is it?" I ask.

"We are going to be negotiating with the Shadow Relm until further notice. All war activities will be ceased," he says.

"Oh, so now you're trying negotiations after 20 years?" I ask.

I can feel Logan glaring at me and wanting to tell me to keep my attitude and anger under control. Two things I'm not very good at.

"Yes. It's time we put an end to the fighting," Dad says.

"This is just because you don't want me to fight for our kingdom, isn't it?" I ask.

"No, it's not. Not everything is about you, Roman," Mother snaps.

I glare at her. She hates me and has always favored my sister and my cousin. My sister I can understand, but my cousin? The Duke? He's gross and inappropriate. 

"But we are sending you to negotiations, along with Knight and Advisor Logan. You will write every day, and follow what we say," Dad says.

I sigh.

"Fine," I say.

"And you will not mess this up. Our goal is peace," Dad says.

"I will not let you down, Father," I say, bowing.

"Good. Now we must go to the ball before it is too late," he says.

*Virgil POV*

I'm in the throne room.

"Mother, why have you called me back from the war?" I ask.

With every word, I say I'm scared I'm crossing a line. If anyone pushes my mother, the queen, just a little too far she will punish them. It doesn't matter if you're her only child or not.

"Because the weasel king finally agreed to meet for negotiating. I'm not risking my own neck, so you're going instead. Don't screw it up," she says.

"Thank you, Mother, for the vote of confidence," I say.

"Was that sarcasm?" she snaps.

"Of course not, your highness. I am honored you have let me take on this important duty," I say, bowing my head.

"Yeah, whatever. You're leaving now, your stuff is in the carriage. Now get out of my sight!" she snaps.

I nod, bow, and quickly leave the room. My mother is a great queen, but not a great mother. She's just too busy and tired for me, which is fine. She usually apologizes at some point.

"How'd it go?" my best friend and knight, Patton, asks.

"Fine. She yelled at me and told me I'm going to negotiations," I say.

He nods.

"I'm coming with," he says.

I perk up a little.

"That's great," I say, "But at the first sign of danger you leave. Got it?"

"That would be-"

"Got it?" I ask, a little more forceful.

He nods.

"Yes, Virgil," he says.

I relax.

"Good. I don't want you getting hurt, Pat," I say.

*Roman POV*

"We have arrived, my pri- Roman," Logan says.

I shake myself awake a little.

"Mk. Where are we staying?" I ask.

"There," Logan says, pointing to a small castle.

The middle ground. This territory has always been neutral between all the kingdoms and therefore has this little castle for occasions like this. 

"It's highly secure, and you will have several guards on you 24/7. We will be staying for as long as negotiations take, so I hope you will stay on guard and best behavior," Logan says.

"You're not my dad, you don't need to lecture me," I say.

"Very well. Are you ready to meet the prince of the Shadow Realm?" Logan asks.

I nod. We step out of our carriage and about 15 feet away is the other prince.

He steps out and brushes back his bangs a little. I can't keep my eyes off him. How could the enemy be so hot?

"Prince Roman, stay focused," Logan says.

"Right. My apologies," I say.

He's the only one who knows how gay I am. We approach the other prince and we all bow to each other. By the looks of it, we're all in our early 20's. I'd say he's no more than 20, like me.

And wow he is cute.

"Greetings. I am Prince Virgil of the Shadow Realm," he says.

"Greetings," I say, "Prince Roman of the Imaj Lands," 

We shake hands. His are so cold, and I wish I could just keep his in mine and keep it warm and-

"Shall we begin with the negotiations or settle into our rooms?" Logan asks.

"I think it would be best to see our rooms first," Prince Virgil's advisor or knight or whoever says.

Logan nods.

"Let us go, Roman," he says, leading me away.

I don't want to leave the handsome prince. These negotiations are going to be even harder than I thought.

Ok so this is a 2 parter. The more Prinxiety romantic parts are in the next part. Requests are still open! Peace out, my peeps!
