Ian's P.O.V
" I knew her first. I will protect her." Max,Dex,and I are standing in the hallway away from the princess's room. I realized that I had started getting feelings for her at the market. She was so kind and stood up for herself. I have never met any girl like her before. When she was smiling about the bakery and the smells coming out of it I knew I had to take her in. I realized that she wasn't like all of us other royals. She treated everyone equally and never used her title to get what she wanted. That's what first date me to her. " Niether of you deserve her. She isn't something to be paraded around and shown off." Max gives me a cold glare. "No one said she was." I return his glare. "Oh really? Because with the way you two have been acting it's like she is just another women to you. Like she is just another one night stand for you two." I can see Dex mentally and physically holding himself back from exploding. "And you have so much room to talk? You have had plenty of women in your bed." His words set of a bunch of old feelings I locked away a long time ago. "She is not Amelia."
Dex's P.O.V
Ian's words are like a sword to my heart. Hearing her name again brings back emotions I have long tried to forget. " I never said she was." He glares at me. "Oh really? Because you have been teasing her like she is." With a shock I realize he's right. I have been so cold to her. I see so much of what Amelia used to be in the princess. The kindness, and compassion she has. Amelia used to be the same way. Suddenly I am very calm again. "Your right." Ian's face masks for a minute in surprise at me admitting he's right. " The princess remind me of the way Amelia used to be. Kind, compassionate, honest, caring. The princess is all of those things and so much more. Everything she says and does reminds me so much of how Amelia was. And that angered me because at the time I still had not let go of Amelia and I didn't want anyone to replace her. I was so cold to her because she was a constant reminder of what I had turned Amelia into. It's was my fault Amelia became the way she is now. I was so angry with myself for found that to Amelia and I took it out on the princess because she reminded me so much of Amelia. I had so much answer left over from what Amelia has said and the princess was just someone who I took it out on." I smirk. "But no matter what I said or did Ariellla always deflected my comment with comment's of her own. She always had something to say back at me. She always stood her ground against me. That's something Amelia never did. Amelia always cowered back and left me alone. The princess it's nothing like Amelia. She is so much better. Ariella is so much more precious to me then Amelia ever was." I smile seeing the princesses smiling face in my head and thinking how beautiful she is when she smiles. And how cute she is when she's angry. I look straight on at my brother's. " So I will be damned if I lose her too one of you."
Max's P.O.V
I have never heard Dex sound like this. He holds so much emotion in his voice when he talks about Ariella. So much passion and longing. My brothers really did fall in love with her. I grit my teeth. "Look. Apparently this is going to be complicated." Ian nods. "The decision is not ours to make. It's hers." "He's right. If there's one thing I know about her it's that she hated being told what to do. And hates it even more when people make decisions for her. She would not take it well if we decided this for her." I say. I hate that I have to go against my brothers for the girl I love,but I almost lost her before and it broke me. I can't go through that again. She is my best friend. My soulmate. My princess. "We can't do anything about this without her. If she finds out that we did it will not end well for any of us."
Dex and Perry visably wince. "Yeah we would be lucky if the castle was still standing afterwards. And besides I don't know why your trying Max. Your engaged to someone else." If there is one thing about the princess that is if someone is stupid enough to actually boss her around it would not end well for that person. She absolutely hated it when everyone tries to live her life for her. "I know. Believe me I know. That doesn't mean I will stop loving her and trying to be with her. I mean there was this one time when we were younger that her foster parents tried to send her to a Catholic school to help her learn etiquette. Of course she didn't really know exactly why they sent her off. They wanted to do it so that she had some experience,but anyway Ariella hated it. I remember her soaking it in for a minute then the storm. All of her friends were in that town,her life,she didn't want to be sent to a school that would have to many rules and a very strict dress code. Plus she believed that all of the kids sent there would be stuck up and rude. She wouldn't talk to her parents or come out of her room until they agreed to let her stay home. Ariella would throw a hissy fit every day That was probably one of the first and only times I ever saw her that mad."
I only realized that I had said that out loud when I hear Ian snickering. "What's so funny?" I ask him. He smirks. "Just the thought of Ariella going into a complete melt down and being in a school girl uniform." Dex smacks him on the back of his head. "Hey! What the bloody hell was that for?!" He says rubbing his head. "Your disrespecting the princess." "I am not. It's just different to imagine her like that." Dex let's out a small almost unnoticeable smile. "Yeah I guess it is." I smile to thinking about just how right they are about that. "Well I guess this means we need to do something. And by that I mean find a way to get this out to her." By the looks on their faces I could tell they were dreading it as much as I was.
