I got in touch with my sister, and she will take me to prom in the utmost secrecy.
I have confidence, and I'm happier now than I've been in quite a while.
Lord Phil is here and he will come with me, too.
I feel nothing but optimism, even in these dark times.
So I think I shall reminisce some more.
Sir Tyler and Sir Eric. They were never really eligible suitors, and they never tried to be. They remembered their places and never tried to rise above their station.
However, the awful thing is that, before I met him, I wished I could just use my power to grant them lands and titles to make them eligible suitors. But that would be abusing my power, and shirking my responsibility in favor of my fickle feelings, and causing discontent in my court. I was causing enough scandal with their constant companionship.
Sir Tyler was a complete knave. He was full of vulgar humor, as bad as a peasant in an ale-house. But he made me laugh, with his jesting and his obvious, unashamed, youthful admiration of me. He acted as if it didn't bother him one bit that he would always admire me from afar.
Sir Eric was, on the other hand, a very serious, honest man, a rare find in a royal court designed to please the monarch. He was very nice to chat with about anything and everything, and he was never afraid to tell me what he truly thought, even if he directly contradicted the Queen herself. But he also had a simple, friendly sense of humor.
Now, they never replaced Lord Phil, my favorite. He was a high-ranking noble, one that should have the Queen's favor, and I still spent time with him. But, despairing of my failed quest for a suitor, I admit that for a time I just ran away from it, spending more and more time with the Sirs Eric and Tyler. They never liked to be together, but one of them was always by my side. Courtiers whispered that I was being attached to low upstarts, and I knew I was failing my responsibility. I could not expect to marry for love, and so I should not be giving myself hope now.
But I still spent most of my time with Phil, Tyler, and Eric. Until he came.
Prince Edward of the Kingdom of Vampyria.
[again, bad with names. xD ]
