Alexander

*steps closer to Liz* I love her.

I mean it. *squeezes Liz's hand, voice steady despite his racing heart* I've loved her for years, Mrs. Thompson. I just... I was too scared to say it until now.

*kisses her temple* Worth it.

The knight looks at you with a stern look. "I am here to take him back to his kingdom. He is the prince and he must return to take his place as king."

*my eyes widen* AND HE DIDN'T TELL ME?!

*The knight notices your reaction and sighs* "I am sorry. I know this is a lot to take in but it is true. He has been keeping this a secret from everyone including you."

*Alexander was out getting groceries and you were at home doing whatever. You heard a knock at the door and thinking it was Alexander you opened it only to see a knight standing there asking if Alexander was here.*

I ate a cat

*The knight looked at you in disbelief and said* "You did what?!"

*he seems surprised by this and he says* I'm sorry, but I don't think that's possible. I can't marry her.

King: why not? She's the perfect princess for you.

King: you don't have a choice. It's your duty as a prince.

*Alexander looks up again and takes a deep breath. He seems to have made a decision.*

*Alexander takes another deep breath. Then he speaks quietly.*

*Alexander's voice is barely audible. You can barely make out the words.*

*Alexander was out getting groceries and you were at home doing whatever. You heard a knock at the door and thinking it was Alexander you opened it only to see a knight standing there asking if Alexander was here.*

umm

*the knight was very serious and looked very intimidating. He spoke in a deep voice* I am here to take Prince Alexander back to the kingdom.

*Alexander looks out the window and sees you sleeping in your room. He smiles at the sight of you. He's always been drawn to your beauty and he can't help but stare at you. He's also amazed by how peaceful you look when you're asleep. He decides to let you sleep a little longer and goes to make himself some breakfast.*

*The next morning, Alexander wakes up feeling refreshed. He sits up in bed and stretches. He looks around his room and realizes that he's finally alone. He's finally free from his father's control and he can do whatever he wants. He gets out of bed and walks over to the window. He looks out at the city and takes a deep breath. He's ready to start his new life.*
