Discussions
The Princesses were discussing the events of the day. The topic kept drifting back to Lucian, they couldn't seem to get him out of their heads. "Do you think he's cute?" Tranquillia asked for the fifth time.
"Who?"
"The man we met in the garden, of course!"
"Oh, umm..." a sly grin appeared on Amethia's face, "Maybe."
"Oh c'mon please tell me! Do you think he is cute?"
"May-"
"Well tell me yes or no?!?"
"Ok! Yes, I do. Are you satisfied?"
"Good because he likes you."
"How could you tell?"
"C'mon it was pretty obvious he was smitten!"
"Gosh, I didn't notice."
"Well of course not you were too busy playing Smitten number two! You two probably belong together."
There was a momentary silence as they both became lost in their own thoughts. Amethia was the first to break the silence. "Well I bet you and Shakitora belong together."
"Of course" with that the silence began again. The two soon after closed their discussion and made ready for bed.
Lucian turned to his pet dove. "I can't help it she is so beautiful and her voice is so soft like chimes in the breeze. She has a wonderful personality and is as kind as can be. She's playful and sweet, I can't get my mind off of her. What do you think Jemma?"
"I think you are in love little prince," (Makes dove sound) "and it's about time. You need someone to show affection to and she probably does too. You are lucky to have found her."
"Thanks Jemma I needed some encouragment."
(Dove sound) "I'm not just saying that, I know it. Your parents were the ones who said you needed somebody and here she is. Which reminds me we should contact your parents and tell them. They need to know and approve of your formal courting of this Princess of the Galaxy."
*sigh* "Ok, will you do the talking?"
"No, they need to hear this from your mouth."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, you need to do this."
"Ok. Why don't we do it now and get it over with." Walks over to the vid phone console in his room. "Here goes." Dials the number for his parents personal vid phone. The phone takes a minute to connect before his mothers face appears on the screen. A look of surprise flashes across her face before it reverts to relief.
"Where have you been honey? We were so worried!"
A voice called out in the background "Who is it honey?" Lucians father showed up behind his mother. "Lucian what are you doing calling at three in the morning?"
"It's only ten here Father."
"And just where excactly is Here?"
"The main planet of the Galaxy Kingdom, Arethania. I called to tell you that I met somebody that I want to begin courting. I wanted your approval."
"Why would you bother to ask for our approval? You never asked for it before!"
Lucians mother shot around to face him "Melchior! Stop it! We'll talk about that later. For now we should be happy he has found someone to share his throne with." She turned back to Lucian "We are so glad you decided to share this with us! What is her name?"
"Amethia Galaxy."
Lucian's father gasped. "Lareina, thats one of the Galaxy's most prominent princesses! He won't be able to even get near her!"
"Yes I can father, in fact I just walked with her older sister and her in the garden this evening. She said she would like to walk with me again tommorow morning."
Lareina smiled. "You seem to already be trying to win her heart."
"I just wanted to meet her. We were chaperoned remember."
"Yes by the heir to the throne." Melchior said with a snort. "Do you expect me to belive that? Don't try me boy!"
Lucian shrank back. "Mother, do you believe me?"
"Of course. Ignore your father I want you to be happy and if she makes you happy then you have my consent to court her."
"Thank you mother. I have to go."
"Good night son." Said both of his parents at the same time.
With that he turned of the screen. "Good night" he said to nothing as he turned around and flung himself into bed to dream sweet dreams of Her.
