The month of October has arrived,tress started shading their leaves. The cool breeze of October danced in the sky,taking the dried leaves with them and carrying them through the whole Crystal Kingdom.

The king and Queen of the kingdom had only one child. A Son. The future King. Richard Alexander Romano.

His father,the king of Crystal Kingdom,His Highness Gabriel Alexander Romano and His wife,and the mother of his child, Alice Gabriel Romano.

"Young Prince,the king is calling you." The chief of the Kingdom Soilder said,knocking on the door,of the young Prince. When there wasn't any response he slightly opened the door and saw the Prince on his bed.

"Prince?."

"Ah,yes Robert?." Richard said waking up from his beauty sleep.

"Am Sorry,but highness wants you in the dinning now." The cheif said bowing his head.

"Yes,Am coming." He said and walked to get dressed to see his father.

"I will be outside Prince." He bowed and went outside of the room.

_________________

"You know why Father is calling me?." Prince asked to the young Soldier Cheif.

"No Prince."

"Don't lie to me Jack!" Richard whimpered to his friend.

Richard said Jack were best friends since their childhood. Jack's father,Chief Camander,Simon Jonas was Jackson,The king's best friend. Jack was eighteen when he took over his father's place,as he died in the war.

"Highness wants you to see this young lady and marry her as soon as possible and he really wants this to happen." He said and opened the door to the dinning room.

Richard sighed,straighting his posture and walking in.

"Morning Your Highness." Prince greeted his father,bowing infront of him.

"Morning,Mom." he said and sat opposite to his dad.

"Morning,Richard." She greeted him with a smile.

He sat on the opposite side to his Father and started having his meal.

The dinning room was huge,A square table on the middle and 16 chairs were there,with a window on the back of the main chair and sides.

The door opened and Jack walked in.

"Your Royal Highness,Ms.Lovet is here."

Richard's head snapped to the direction of the door when he heard the familiar name. Ms.Lovet. Ms.Angel Lovet.

The girl who stole his heart when they met at the ball. The one with whom he danced the entire night. The one for whom he jump out of the window and go to the bridge.

The one who the future king of Crystal Kingdom loves.

The door opened again,widely as Ms.Lovet camed in.

Her head was bowed down in respect. She was wearing a royal cream silk dress. Her beautiful curls,tied in a bun with few hairs left down. Her white skin was glowing in the sunshine making her more enchanting. She looked beautiful. Majestic.

She looked like a Queen.

He was not able to tear his eyes of her. She was a perfect definition for beauty. How much he wished that his father and mother vanished from the room so he can pull her by her waist and plant his lips on her soft petals.

He wanted that beauty.

"Morning Your Royal highness. Morning Your highness. Morning Prince." She said holding the sides for her dress and kneeling a little. She looked up and smiled which was returned by the king and Queen.

"Morning Ms.Lovet,take a sit." the king said smiling a little.

Ms.Lovet took the sit beside the Queen as the queen gestured her. It pissed the young male a little,but was happy that she is feeling comfortable with his family.

After a minute or two King dismissed the cheif and looked at the Prince and Ms. Lovet.

"So,Prince Jack must have told you,why I called you here. This is Ms.Angel Lovet,and I am willing that you should marry her before the war."

Every 27 years later,the Crystal Kingdom and Arendelle will have a war. Every time the new king should lead it. 27 years ago, Richard's father,Gabriel leaded it. Now,he wants his son to lead the war.

Richard wasn't feared of anything. But he was now. He didn't want to leave his Angel.
But he was still happy to be with her.

"Ms.Lovet we want you to marry our son. If you are willing....." Alice asked hesitated.

"I am willing" Angel said.

Richard was now beyond happiness. This was something he wished for. She will be there for his entire life with him,to rule the kingdom along with his side.

"Prince,what about your answer?" His father asked.

He looked at her,and saw she is waiting for his answer. He smiled and said-

"Am ready to marry Ms.Lovet"

King and Queen were surprised as whenever they asked him,he would never agree. They looked at eachother as if talking with their eyes,and smiled.

"So,from today to 11 days later, Richard Alexander Romano will marry Angel Lovet."

He announced and walked out with his wife following him closely,leaving them alone.

Prince got up from his seat so did Ms.Lovet.

He walked towards her and grabbed hand,softly as if he hold it tight it will break. They both walked out of the room and walked to the garden of the castle.

The gaurds were dismissed so that they can be together.

"Umm..I think I should go your Majesty" she whispered,her voice was something he always liked and wanted to hear.

"Can you stay a little longer? I would love to spent some time with you Ms.Lovet." He said softly.

She can't help but blush,her white skin looked more beautiful as the natural pink blush came to them. She smiled and said-

"Angel. You can call me Angel your highness." She said looking down.

"So you can call me Richard." He said and she looked at him and smiled.

It's the second time their eyes met. He saw a different world in her eyes,full of happiness,care and love. He can stare at her forever. He wanted to look into her eyes and take his vows. He wanted to look into her eyes and ask her the permission to kiss her.

The night in the ball was something she never thought. Angel was an orphan. She didn't had any parents. She lived on her own. When she was called for the ball,she never thought again she will called for asking her hand for the Prince. She too loved him,but is feared to tell.

He tooked a step closer and stood to see if she is uncomfortable. One more step. One more. He slided his hand to her wait and pulled her closer. Her hand automatically went to his chest. She was close to him and he liked it. He pushed back a strand of hair and made her look him. Her golden eyes shinning brightly. His blue eyes looked so memorizing that she can't look away.

He leaned in and breathed against her lips. Her breathing become heavy. Her chest rised with more force. Richard looked into her eyes. "Can I?." He whispered. She can't believe that the Prince himself is asking her permission. She will never find anyone as him. She nodded and closed her eyes,leaning a little closer. Their lips touched a little and sparks flyed in both of them. His lips touched hers. Their lips fitted so perfectly as if they were made for eachother. Richard moved his lips a little against her soft ones,she shivered and moved with him. He pulled her more closer to him. They moved their lips together slowly with love and care. Angel titled her head and gave him more access. She loved it. So did he. They pulled back and panted heavily.

"Angel? Will you marry me?." He asked. Even though he knew her answer,he wanted to listen it. She smiled and blush creeped on her cheeks.

"Yes,I will Richard." She said and he chuckled.  He loved the way his name sounds from her. He loved her. So did she.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. After a minute or two she pulled away.

"I think I should go now. See you later." she said. He didn't wanted it butbhe knew she was his.

"I will lead you." he said and pulled out his hand. They both walked hand in hand to the castle gate. They stared at the huge gate. It was time to leave. She removed her hand from his grip and walked a step ahead. She turned and smiled,waving him a bye and walking towards the gate.

"Angel!." He shouted.

"Yes?." She turned and asked. He jogged to her and asked-

"Can I hug you One Last Time?."
He asked and she can't deny him. She wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest. She breathed his scent and they both stayed like that.

"I love you Angel."

"I love you too Richard"

She said and broke the hug and ran to her carriage. She sat on it and looked at the Prince and saw him smile widely at her,waving her a bye. She too smiled and waved him. The carriage took its leave and horse jogged across the bridge.
