Running away was my plan after coming to the capital. I thought it was the only way I could come close to living the kind of life I would have back in my world.
It backfired on me horribly. While running away I met the man that proposed to me and would be marrying in less than 24 hours.
Al was still waiting expectantly for me to answer. I couldn't bear to lift my head and look at him but I could at least try to be somewhat honest.
"I wanted to be normal. Get a job. Fall in love. Have a family. Being a princess was never part of the plan."
"…would you have fallen in love with me if I wasn't a prince? Once we leave Annalaias I won't be one anymore. We'll just be Al and Katie."
My head snapped up then. His expression was unfathomable so I had no idea what he was really thinking.
If I hadn't come here…if I had met Al back home…would I have fallen in love with him? The idea was preposterous.
