kingdom crier...
After long life to the king, your Majesty has announced that your Highness Princess Eleanor as heiress but only after she gets married to lord Arthur Thompson the lord commander and gives the kingdom the future king of Silverscale.
We will be waiting for all that to be released after the princess Eleanor is ready and lord Arthur to come back to this battle. In the meantime the Queen Anastasia will be on the throne.
-Lady Aurora Thompson.

Lord Austin Thompson The master of the household, he has been working at the castle since before with his decent wife and now his two children work there too. Arthur and Aurora, his family were destined to serve the royal family.
Lord Austin Thompson's wife had promised the king Edward to marry one of the princesses as an honour to her king and the king Edward did not refuse for the love he had to the Thompson's family. No one knew about that except Arthur's parents and the king.

Even after all that Eleanor didn't and never wanted to be a queen, so as it is in the midnight Eleanor decided to escape, before she gets any way far the queen sent the royal guards to bring her back discreetly so no one would think that their future queen is trying to escape the throne.
Eleanor wore an old gown and she covered her face so anyone could notice her. Running fast in the village and the guards behind her passing and destroying people's sales. "Catch her, don't let her escape!" One of the guards shouted.
She was faster and hid herself very well and they lost her and went back to the castle without her and the queen couldn't let that happen and sent them back to look for her before she left the kingdom.

The night the rain was strong no one was outside anymore. Eleanor was wet and exhausted when she arrived at one of the rich lords in the village home and asked for the guard that she needed to talk to their lord. The guard didn't need to because he knew who she was and gently welcomed her in. Lord Frank Gary and her Lady Clara Christopher Gray were having dinner with their two sons Jeremy, Clark on of five and ten. They saw Eleanor arrive and the guard in front of her.

"My lord, your Highness is here." The guard said and they all stood up and left the eating table and joined her, they all bow down for her with a worried face and confused.
"Your Highness!" They all said.
She responded to them politely. "My lord, lady Gray..." Then she looked at the kids and gave them a smile. "Little ones!" She added.
"You are wet your Highness, do you come here alone?" Frank asked.
She looked at them with a pitiful face and they welcomed her in, ledy Gray looked for her some of the dry clothes while lord Gray took the boys to sleep and sat beside the fire telling them what happened drinking tea.
Lord and Ledy Gray as they are rich they are close friends to the royal family and Eleanor was her only place to think of first. They let her pass a night there but they weren't supportive with her decision.

Early in the morning the guards knocked at Gray house looking for Eleanor and they had no choice and gave Eleanor to them. They took her back to the castle.
While Eleanor was in her room they put the guards on her door so she would not escape again.
The Queen with lord Lewis the queen's guide (the old man) who is always on her side giving her advice for anything they come to see Eleanor in her room she was there walking around her room uncomfortably waiting for someone to come and get her out of there and to see the queen and lord Lewis arriving she stopped walking calmly and bow down for the queen with honour.
"Your Majesty!" Softly she said. Lord Lewis also bent for her. "Your Highness!"
"What bloody took you to do that? Imagine if someone would see you running like a Thief and the guard behind you. How dare!" The queen was upset feeling humiliated.
"I'm truly sorry for what I did, it was thoughtless of me, my queen." Eleanor said.

The queen nodded twice. "I know that you are sorry but I know you will do that again which means you don't regret it." "Am I wrong?" She added.
Eleanor took two steps closer to them trying to be understandable. "I don't want to become a queen and I don't think you do either, i wasn't prepared for this but Madeline does and...she must keep to be a heiress." She shouted. "And again get married with that...I can't get married with Arthur and I don't think he wants that either." She added.
"You are not going to choose, there wasn't an option for choice. You have to fulfill the King's wish." The queen said.
Eleanor gets closer to the queen and catches her hand begging her. "You never loved me and I know that This is not what you wanted. You never wish to see me in this place not now as your queen and I will not reclaim anything if you take that from me."
The queen got her hand off of her and took a breath with a scary face. "I don't know what you are talking about and you should watch your mouth while talking to me, I'm maybe your step mother but I'm still your queen so i demand you to do so and do what you were asked for without questioning."
The queen went outside and Eleanor shouted. "What did Lord Thompson say about the marriage?"
The queen turned back and looked at her in eyes seriously. "If you mean Arthur, It has been a while since he went to the battlefield, he knows nothing about this yet but I don't think he has anything to add either."
Lord Lewis opened the door for the queen, the queen got out and lord Lewis bowed down for Eleanor. "Your Highness!"
Eleanor was thinking about how all that will happen and got tears rolling in eyes.

At the battlefield Arthur and his men arrived where Lord Yemen from Frost-Harbor kingdom as a commander. He was with his man the same as Arthur, like 200 soldiers each.

Frost-Harbor kingdom is a neighbouring kingdom of Silverscale kingdom, there king Albert and his Queen Clarence and they had only one son Audre the crown prince.
Even if there are neighbours but they always had issues as the Frost-Harbor kingdom never wanted peace. King Albert wanted Silverscale and Frost-Harbor to be one kingdom and to be ruled by him so he could be the strongest and powerful king never existed but King Edward could never let him do that, for the year's fight but now as King Edward is dead he will want it more than before as there's no King.

Arthur and Yamen got closer to each other on the horses, looking at each other and their men were ready for any move. With the sword, spear, javelin and shield.
"Well, well, well, look who's ready for the fight, Lord Thompson, the lord commander." Yemen said making him understand how confident he sounds.
"It's your choice to decide that, I don't wanna fight so I'm asking you Lord Yemen, what brought you in this direction?" Politely Arthur asked.
"I wanted to talk...talk to your King." Yemen said that to offend him. Arthur stayed quiet for a moment staring at him.
"The king is dead, no need to talk to him." Arthur said.
Yemen gave an evil smile and said. "Accept my sincerest apologies, I didn't know."
Arthur nodded once.
"So who am I supposed to talk with, there's an important issue we need to talk with the person you serve. We need to pass." Yemen said.
Arthur got down on the horse and Yemen did the same. Their men got more ready for the fight as they weren't hearing what they were saying.
"You came to talk, just to talk with all those men? I don't think so and if it is important I don't think you would be the one they would send. For my information you are not a massage or crier or just someone else which would be understandable but you, you are a warrior and a warrior don't pass a massage but he fights." Arthur said.
Yemen put out his sword slowly looking at it, Arthur stepped back a bit and Arthur's men put out their swords and Yemen's men did the same.
"You grown up boy, I'm glad that you became a great fighter but I don't think you will ever pass me on." Yemen said. "Shield!" Arthur shouted to his men and put his sword out and as for his men put the shields, the javelin and the sword in front they got ready.
"Hold!" Arthur shouted again to his men and them doing what he said. "Tell your king that maybe our king is dead but not the power of our kingdom." He added talking to Yemen.
"Attack!" Yemen shouted and his men ran closer to Arthur's men and they started fighting as well Arthur and Yamen fighting too. A while fighting Yemen realised how much he was losing more men for nothing and took them back.
"Men! Get on your horses, we need to go back."
The one who was still strong and stable jumped on the horses and went back to their kingdom and Arthur his men stayed there looking for their men who got hurt to take them back with them.
Arthur breathing heavily he said. "We need to go back and talk to the queen."

At the castle, the queen was taking care of her plants, watering them in her garden and Elsa the lady-in-waiting who served princess Madeline she came up to the queen and the guards let her pass who was standing next behind the queen in both sides.
Elsa bowed down for the queen in her back. "Your majesty!" The queen turned back and gives her all her attention. "Elsa! What can I do for you?" The queen asked gently.
"I'm extremely sorry to tell you that princess Madeline is exasperated breaking things in her room." Elsa replied.
The queen blinked twice so worried. "And why that?" She asked. Elsa her voice shaked while replying. "I'm... sorry...I don't know what..." Before she finished and the queen left to see her and the guards and Elsa came behind her. To arrive at the room the guards opened the door for the queen and others stayed out. Madeline stopped destroying stuff and came closer to her mother, scowl and clenched her jaws and fist.
"Why did you let this happened? And she was even about to escape and you brought her back, I thought you was on my side. Geez, mother I'm your daughter I'm the one who was supposed to be the queen." Yelling at her mother.
"You need to calm down, and what do you wanna show by doing this. Madeline?" The queen asked calmly and Madeline saw how she was acting ridiculously and she calmed down and replied softly. "But I wanna know why are you supporting her, I wasn't that much surprised what father did because he always prefers her on me."

The queen took her on a sit beside the window. "You have to calm down, I'm not doing this because I like it or I want it but because we can't do anything about it." The queen said. "So all my dreams and my future is just going down like that easily?" Madeline asked in pity voice. And the queen came a bit closer to her. "Listen me well Madeline, Eleanor don't want this but she will be the queen anyway so it will be easy for us to manipulate her and do all what we want in her name." She sounded serious. Madeline looked her mother annoyed and disappointed. "That's you mother, all I wanted is to be the queen to be called the queen and to have the queen's power. If isn't that nothing else would make me happy." Madeline stood up and left to get out of the room and said to Elsa... "The room needs to be cleaned." Madeline said leaving. Elsa bent for her. "As you wish your Highness!"
The night at the dinner the queen was having dinner with princess Madeline, princess Eleanor and princess Alyssa Wright queen's step sister.

The weight family is where queen Anastasia came from the family was in the one of powerful families but there was getting old dying and left with only three sisters. Anastasia Wright the middle one, Alyssa Wright the youngest one and the eldest Raya Wright.

At the dinner they were so quiet no one was talking to another and Eleanor started the conversation.
"My step mother...either Madeline no one wanted me to live the same level as you, so why you are so quiet on this? I'm really not getting it straight! Madeline you are so quiet on this, what happened?"
The queen put the fork down. "Eleanor, this is not the time and place to talk about that. You have to repeat this time we are having together." She said, the queen. "I think she's drank!" Alyssa added.
They all looked at her and noticed that, she was drunk a little bit, the queen called Amelia was standing beside the table using her hand. "Take here to her room she needs a rest." The queen said.
Amelia did as the queen said and took her in her room while she kept talking nonsense.

The next morning when Eleanor woke up she heard from Amelia, Eleanor's lady-in-waiting that Arthur is back to the castle and after her bath she ran to the server's council chambers to see him and Amelia behind her. The guards in front of Arthur's room didn't let her in. She was confused. "What is this, I need to see him right now, do as I say."
But they didn't let her in just looking at her. "Do as your Highness said, guards!" Amelia added.
The queen came behind them with princess Madeline. "They will not do it, as their queen's order." The queen said. Eleanor and Amelia turned back to them and Eleanor got closer.
"Why that then?" She asked while confused. "You can't see him in private, his future husband now." The queen replied. Eleanor was still in confusion and the queen added to help her understanding. "I mean, we don't know what you can do while in the room alone. No abomination needed."
Eleanor laughed loudly in shock.
"What! I don't even want to be married, why would we do such thing?" Eleanor asked. "I know but we can't take that risk." The queen said.
The queen left with Madeline and Eleanor had nothing to do so she went back to her room.

In Arthur's room he was with Lord Thompson his father, he just told him about what king left said. Arthur didn't like it, he got mad and ferrous trying to make his father understand that he doesn't want that.
"I will not marry her, I will ever!" He shouted. "That's not a demand." Calmly Austin replied.
Arthur got closer to his father looking him in eyes so disappointed. "I'm a warrior, I have my duty and she's not going to be my other responsibility." He said. "You are not going to tell me that you was not ganna get married?" Austin asked.
Arthur sighed and put the voice down and said. "I haven't yet thought about being married but trust me she couldn't even pass in my mind, you know how much we don't like each other and how could you let the king do that. Because I know you knew it." "I know that and I couldn't add anything because your mother promised the king that our first born will be his son in law."
Arthur to hear that he lost his energy and walked weakly to his bed and took a seat quietly thinking about it but Austin didn't let him alone and took a seat with him telling the whole story.

A while later the royal family they was called to talk about the wedding. They was all present either they like it or not. Eleanor and Arthur weren't there yet and Arthur arrived first, he took a seat and they was quite waiting for Eleanor. She arrived a little bit late and arrived before she sat she looked at Arthur and made eye contact for a second then took her seat. Their seat was paralleled.
They started to talk about the winding and how it will be processed while Ledy Aurora Thompson, the kingdom crier she was writing what to announce the population. All that went much with Eleanor, she started breathing heavily and she wasn't even listening again well what they was talking about and Arthur noticed but he didn't tell anything. Eleanor she couldn't take it anymore and stood up and run going outside and Arthur run after her and saw her leaving on the horse and took other horse following her. Others were confused, they had no idea what maybe going on. And the queen sent the guards to follow them and bring them back to the castle.

Eleanor took the wood way so fast and Arthur caught her and got in her way so she stopped. Looking at each other, Eleanor saw that he will not move and she got down and started walking and Arthur got down too and got in her way again. Eleanor looking him a annoyed face and him staying serious.
"What are you doing here?" She asked. "I'm curious to know where you are going, your Highness!" He responded calmly.
She came closer to him and asked him politely. "Let me go, I'm begging you and...you will not have to marry me. Cause I know you don't want to."
He came more closely looking her in eyes and spoke with the softy voice.
"This isn't about what we want, is about doing our duty. Do you think if I let you go you will have peace? Everyone knows right now that you are the future queen and that puts you in danger, anyone who can get the throne if you leave, they might need you dead no matter what so you could never come back to change anything....the queen doesn't like you and she never wanted you to be seen as a respected person and tell me why now she wants you to be the queen?" "Tell me." She said with curiosity.
"I don't know her biggest reason but there are the time we doesn't have choice. The king believed in you to rule this kingdom, because he knew that you have the honest and strong heart to be a good queen, and I don't think you are able to disappoint him now. Show people who think you can't do anything and who don't want your successed what you got and they will all give you respect that you deserve, you always deserved." "Don't let anyone think that you are weak, people need queen like you." He added

Eleanor was listening, she wasn't even blinking looking him in eyes giving him all the attention. the guards arrived and cycled them and they went gently back to the castle and got married two days after.
