I sit in my office looking at all the papers. All the information for everybody is here. I fling the papers at the wall. They fly every where.
"I can't do this." I say. I repeat it and repeat it. I head a knock on my door. Gregory walks in and looks at me arms folded.
"Come now, your majesty. Come here." I walk towards him and he fixes my suit and tie.
"You must present yourself well for your date tonight." He says firmly.
"Date?! Tonight?! Already?" I asked scared and definitely not prepared. Gregory smirks at me.
"Of course! The public has to get some sort of action going on the first night. So it's either a date or you figure something out at dinner." He says pulling his hands away from my tie and looking at me.
"Ok. Ill figure something out." I say. Gregory nods his head, bows, and exists.
"Why now?!" I ask furious. I pick up a book and chuck it at a map. The book lands in the pile of papers making all of them scatter. One lands on my desk face down. I flip it over to be greeted by Ethan's smile and info. I can't help but smile at it. I've got an idea.
**TIME SKIP TO DINNER**
I look around the room at the boys and girls at the table. My father turns to me and smiles. He's seeing his son grow up I guess. I look to Ethan to see him inhaling his food. I chuckle to myself. I look in his now green eyes. Weren't they blue in the photo? Or hazel? I don't know. Anyway, I look into his eyes to see them sparkling at the food. I clear my throats getting everyone's attention.
"Ethan, how do you like the food?" I ask, catching him between bites. He looks at me and sits up straight.
"It's very good, your majesty." He says.
"Does your family eat like this at home?" I ask folding my hands in front of me.
"No, we're moderate when it comes to living. But my sister would cry if she tried this." He says. (I don't know if he has a sister or not.)
"Your sister would cry?" I ask. Cry peeks his head up at his name. I'm assuming he stopped paying attention.
"My sister would definitely cry if she tries these strawberry pastries." He says confidently.
"Alright then. Aaron, can you please make a batch of the strawberry cream cheese pastries and send it to Mr. Ethan's home. Also send guards there to see in fact if his sister cries." I say to Aaron, our head butler.
"Yes, your majesty." He responds then runs off to the kitchen.
"Here's the deal Ethan. If she in fact cries, you can ask for anything you want that I can provide. If she doesn't, you go on a date with me. Deal?"
"Deal." He says.
"Now, what would you like I return, if your sister cries?" I ask confidently.
"I would like to pick what I wear for the next week." He asks/says. I nod my head in agreement.
"Alright, deal." I say confirming it. "If your all finished eating, your dismissed." I say to everyone. Everyone leaves and I see Ethan leave last looking at the ground. I'll check with him in a bit. I get up and go to my room to lay down for a minute. Long day. Per usual.

Oooooooooo. Dates, bets. Sounds fun. Oh and Ethan looked a little sad. Let's see what happens next shall we?
