Percy POV
As i walk in the room, i apologize to my mother for being late. More so to leave a good impression on the other royal family than to actually apologize to her. I look up and make eye contact with the princess that had saved me. I smile and bow.
"Good day, princess. I hope you've been well."
She looks a little hesitant but bows back "indeed i have. I hope the sames true for you."
"Yes indeed. All thanks to you that night. I owe you my life."
I really did. I owe her everything. I always glorified the idea of dying. I thought it was the only way to get away from my parents. It sounded fun. I was always begging to be sent away in the army or trying to go on explorations. But my mother never allowed it. But now im glad she didnt. If i had died, i never would have met Amori. Shes given me a reason to live. Shes my only reason.
We continued on to eat dinner together as our parents talked. We talked about endless amounts of things. Mainly the differences in our kingdoms. She seemed really shocked to learn that women where basically property in my kingdom. But i made sure she was aware that i planned to change that as soon as i was king. I needed to impress her. Not scare her.
At the end of dinner the king stood with a big grin across his face
"I do believe this marriage is a glorious idea. I will talk to my daughter and the advisers and we should be in touch in the next few weeks!"
I had to stop myself from screaming with joy. If he had denied this marriage i was ready to declare war now. My mother looked pleased too. Maybe now her and father would be pleased with me. I seen the princess quickly walk out the room. She must be happy as well. She just doesn't want me to see her tears of joy.
Me and mother walk back out to our carriage. She looked at me with a look ive never seen before. Could that be pride? Is she actually proud of me?
"You've picked a good princess, son. You're father will be very proud."
"Thank you mother."
We rode in silence the rest of the way home. I couldn't get Amori's face out of my mind. I cant wait till our wedding.
