I decided to pay the Montagues a visit. I knocked on the door, a servant let me in. In the area of living, I was greeted by Lady Montague.

"Verona's famous fair maiden has come!" She smiled.

"I am here thy ladyship, everyone knows about me it seems."

"What is your will?"

"Just to finally meet thy lord and lady, Benvolio says wonderful things of thou."

She chuckled.

"Benvolio, we all love him, a wonderful boy, he has taken a liking to you."

"I know that madam, I took a liking to him as well."

"Oh..."

"Yes, I love him and he loves me."

"...Oh that's wonderful! But are thou of high rank?"

"Royalty, Venice royalty."

She lightly gasped.

"Princess Eglantine of Venice, an honor!"

She bowed.

"I'm not a princess anymore, I exiled myself from home, his highness knows of my reason and he understands."

"Prince Escalus is a kind man. What is the reason?"

"Cruel stepmother, the queen, would rather spend her fortune than love."

She bowed her head. Lord Montague walked in.

"I presume the fair maiden Eglantine!"

"Lord Montague, a pleasure."

"Thine apologies for being unpunctual, I had matters to tend to."

"I understand sir," I said.

"Darling, Eglantine is a perfect match for Benvolio!"

"Is she now?"

"Yes, she is, she's the princess of Venice, of royal blood."

"How impressive...but...thy is supposed to be in Venice."

"I will explain later, now, call for Benvolio."

A servant walked away.

"And, I'm terribly sorry for what happened this afternoon, Mercutio was a good friend, so is Romeo, the two of them were the first to meet me when I arrived in fair Verona. Your son has the most gentle soul, wouldn't you agree?"

"Yes Eglantine, Romeo was a good boy, he had his reasons for all of this. Benvolio explained every bit to us. Thou very brave, with a sword in tow, very brave."

"I never used my sword today sir, just the three boys."

Benvolio walked in, he smiled when he saw me.

"Egg, what a surprise!"

We hugged...then kissed.

"Benvolio?"

"Yes uncle?"

"A marriage for the two of you very very soon."

He gasped.

"Thank you uncle!"

We embraced again.

"The engagement is official, we shall celebrate!"

I stayed for dinner with the Montagues.
