Chereads / Princess May / Chapter 2 - Prince Adam's view

Chapter 2 - Prince Adam's view

All my life my mother gave me all I want , when I was younger my dream was to explore all secrets of astronomy , I was taught that I could help with that by being a king but I wanted to do more than be in charge of a kingdom , my life as the prince is exhausting but since my father and all my ancestors were kings I had to continue this horrible tradition and marry princess May , I wouldn't say that I hate her but I don't love her that way , I love her as my sister and it's always been this way since we were babies , as teenagers we used to always sneak out of events to go play with the "normal" teenagers , now I'm nineteen and princess May is eighteen , she's the girl everyone is in love with .

As the day of our marriage approaches I'm preparing a plan to escape from it with the help that my good friend Harry might offer , he will be more likely to say yes if I wait until the last minute to ask him , which means one day before the big event , and I know that he is a little clumsy to drive a carriage which is why he has a driver that could be in help too , all I need to do is to convince them both with some money and to the last minute , but I'm not convinced because it seems too easy to be successful or maybe I'm just nervous , after all my mother would never forgive me for it , so I don't see myself returning to her after I run away because I know she would never support me to marry someone for love and not for money , all I want is a love story I get a business one and that's my prince life , always boring strict and exhausting to the point everyone thinks it's a perfect life but all I wanted to do when I was younger was to have something else and be someone else , I guess the only choice that I have is either to be a good or bad king , what a nightmare , the worst of it is that when I will become king I will have to keep so many secrets to a point when I won't be able to take it anymore and I will tell anybody about them , then I might be killed or put in prison or tortured I don't even know what might happen to me I don't want to be dramatic or overthink my situation but I really can't help it , I used to be someone who doesn't care about anything but my happiness and I'm not sure when I changed but I'm not that same person , and I'm sick of people pretending that I am , times change as well as people , and I am part of those people who change , I'm not that ignorant little boy anymore and I wish people could understand that I am able to be king without marrying a princess .

As I am only willing to move forward with my life and decisions and I am not willing to marry anyone you can imagine that the only person who can understand it is my good friend Harry . The plan would be that I would say that I need to go to the restroom and I would escape from the window with carriage in front of me waiting for me to go , Harry would be there to make a distraction while I'm gone to give me some time to be far from May's castle , I know exactly that castle since I grew up visiting princess May and her family , I know by heart every single room , kitchen , guest room and bathrooms , I know exactly where every guard is and how to distract them , but as well as I know the place everyone knows me simply because I'm the groom and I'm about to be married to the girl every man is in love with , princess May , I think to myself that something is wrong with me to not be in love with her sometimes but we grew up together , we shouldn't get married both our parents know that we treat each other like siblings , I'm sure she doesn't agree with this marriage either but she's doing it to please her father .

Princess May's father , her majesty king Darcel is a very strict man , he always has a serious face on , I think I might be one of the rare people that has ever seen him smile when he proposed to my mother the idea of our marriage , he's always treated me like the son he never had , I think that he wants his daughter to get married because he couldn't have a boy and he wants his kingdom to be ruled by a man , which kind of unfair because even if I don't escape my marriage and May becomes my queen she has the soul of a leader and she would be the one in charge of everything , I know that she is strong and has the power to make the kingdom hers without a marriage and mostly without me .
