Just like that my betrothed dismissed me. Lily showed me to my room and I quickly thanked her, waiting for her to leave. I was curious as to what it was that my bride had seen that had made her dismiss me so. I was walking briskly through the hallways and came to a sudden yet silent stop, Genevieve had changed into a riding dress and is off towards the stables. I follow silently behind her, a sly smirk on my face as we enter the stables.
"Beautiful horse," I say after I watch her brush the horse for a few minutes. "Would you care to go for a ride with me? I am sure Amethyst would enjoy stretching her legs some."
Amethyst is my own horse, a four year old black mare. I saddle Amethyst and feed her an apple I had left in one of her saddlebags before climbing atop her. I urge Amethyst out with Genevieve and Midnight, matching their pace. "So tell me about yourself your highness," I prompt. "I must confess that I find it disconcerting to be betrothed to a woman that I hardly know anything about other than she was not originally the heir to her father's kingdom. I am deeply sorry for your loss, I am sure your brother was a good man." I pause, realizing I have probably touched on a fresh wound. "Tell me about yourself? What do you like to do aside from dismiss Princes shortly after they propose?" I tease. "I myself happen to also be a fan of riding. I also enjoy reading and spending time among my people. My sisters are most eager to meet you, all four of them."

My father and I are sitting in a meeting room, making idle chatter with my future father in-law. I have no desire for this arranged marriage, for a bride I do not know and who surely hates the very idea of me. I feel utterly ridiculous, black trousers and a black and silver doublet; I was far more comfortable in my armor or riding gear.
We are informed by a servant that my betrothed will be down in a moment. I stand and hastily see to it that I look the proper part of Prince and not my usual grisly self. She enters the room, curtsies and politely smiles at my father and I. I return her curtsy with an appropriate bow at the waist before taking a step forward to take her hand and gently kiss it as was required in such a situation.
"Pleased to finally make your acquaintance," I say as my lips leave her hands and my eyes meet hers. "I am Prince James," I add having realized that I had not given her my name yet.
"We shall leave you two alone for a few moments then," my father says. He has gone over my duties with me a hundred times and I steel myself for what I must do next.
I usher Princess Genevieve to where I had just been sitting before taking the seat beside her, facing my torso in her direction as I fumble with the solitaire diamond ring in my pocket. "I am sure that you do not want this marriage and like me are doing it for the good of your people. It is my hope that we may one day be at least friends," I say as I pull the ring out of my pocket. "It was my mother's and she wanted it to go to my bride. I cannot promise you love but I can promise you that I will be a good, true, faithful and devoted husband." I hold the ring out tentatively as though she might say no to the question I never asked. She and I both know that there is no need to ask, this marriage is beyond either of our control.

If you start I'll hopefully be done with my paperwork by the time you get it up.
Name: James (Nickname: None at the moment)
Age: 23
Appearance:
Quick bio: James is the oldest of five children and the only boy. He is first in line to a throne he has no desire for. He is a soldier, preferring to spend his time outdoors practicing his sword skills to practicing his ability to speak in the court of nobles. A talented politician with his people's best interests always in the forefront of his mind he is well loved by the people. His mother, the Queen, died four years ago in the birth of James' youngest sister, Bethany. The two are very close since the King will practically have nothing to do with the girl he blames for his wife's death. He is less than pleased at the idea of an arranged marriage but if it will end the senseless bloodshed of his people he is more than happy to do it. Aware that his bride to be probably isn't all that excited by the idea of an arranged marriage either he hopes to at least befriend her if he cannot marry for love.
