Lord William was pacing in his huge house which was not quite a castle like king James but he lived in a very big house left by his uncle god rest soul, he was upset that this beggar was visiting Anna in king Henry's castle ,while he had to wait for Princess Anna to call him so he can come visit her in the castle. He recalled what king James said. " My daughter has a mind of her own , you have to work hard to win her heart." He began to pace back and forth and said angrily, " Well how can I win her heart if she doesn't let me visit her!" He has written her letter confessing his need to court her ,but she didn't reply. The question is what shall he do now. He looked at a picture of his father hanging on the wall, he remembered him saying, " If you want to be rich you have to be clever and gain the trust of any princess and ask her hand in Marriage." Well it turns out that was easier said than done."
At a young age William acted like royalty even though he was not born into a royal family he watched them closely how they dressed and walked. His mother was a piano teacher and used to be sent by the queens to teach their daughter's piano lessons. She would go and get her son William because she had know one to keep him with and he would wait for her in the hallway and admire the view, he would look at the marbles pillars and the glass grounds which led the vast balcony. He would run to the balcony and imagine what his life would be if he was rich , he closed his eyes and could see himself lying down on the couch waiting for servants to serve him breakfast every morning and going him a long satisfying bath. He opened his eyes and said, " One day William you will be a lord and you will marry a princess."
As he grew older and his mother was summoned by a king named Author to come to his castle to give his daughter Lucy some piano lessons and of course William came along .One look at king Author's castle ,William thought it was breathtaking ,it was even larger than the village he grew up in . " Boy what I would give to live in a mansion like this?"Then at that moment a young girl around the age of 15 years went skipping down the stairs she seemed ok , she would have looked fine if she lost so weight and when she smiled William could see her awful braces on her teeth, " Hi ." She giggled as she waved." I am Lucy what is your name?" He answered, " My name is William." He bowed gently, she smiled, " What a gentlemen you are? You must be Miss Kathy's son. It is nice to meant you." They shook hands . William watched day by day while his mother taught Lucy the piano ,even though Lucy was not that good looking he had to admit that she knew how to play the piano so beautifully , the sounds she made while playing the piano made everybody admire her. Once he was invited to see her playing in a concert, the sound she played the piano in is so divine when William closed his eyes he immediately enjoyed hearing the sound of the music playing.
One day it struck him ,Lucy comes from one of the wealthiest families her father king Author always wanted a son to take care of his daughter and then pass on his fortune to. William gave s smirching smile , he thought to himself all he had to do was have Lucy fall madly in love with him and then ask her hand for marriage. So William began his first step to his plan he went up to king Author and asked to marry Lucy , King Author was skeptical at first and said, " She is still too young for marriage but if you would like to court her then you can both decide if you want to get married." William had no choice but to agree or he would lose his chance in getting rich.
He courted Lucy and it was a disaster she never looked pretty and never took care of herself, William was so embarrassed when he went out with her. One day they had to go to a royal party with other princess and princes ,he felt jealous of all the other beautiful couples and he had to dance with Lucy she hugged him, " I am beginning to like you William I hope soon we will get married." William just nodded, he excused himself and told Lucy he had to talk with one of the Lords so she ran off to the princess lounge, he scanned everyone one in the party and a beautiful lady caught his eye . She was outside in the garden petting a rabbit and he decided to get closer to her, he greeted her, " Hello I am Lord William." She turned around holding the rabbit and smiled, " I am Anna." William thought to himself this princess would take any man's breath away, she was so beautiful how her brown long her elongated down her shoulders and she had the most beautiful reddest cheeks and she smelled so refreshing and suddenly Lord William decided that this was the princess she wanted to marry. He bowed and kissed her hand .
Anna was a hard girl to understand ,every time he would visit king James and sit next to her in the dinning table she would ignore him and not even look at him. Unlike Lucy who would giggle when she saw him Anna would give him the cold shoulder and not even look at him. That made William mad then he thought of a plan instead of getting closer to Anna he got closer to her father king Henry, he began visiting him more often and give him presents whenever he came to the castle. Once he heard King James tell his wife, " Lord William is such a kind fellow you should try to convince Anna to get to know him better." He smiled when he heard the king say that , the queen agreed, " That is true ,but you have to convince Anna of that you know how stubborn your daughter can be."
Lord William had a plan first of all he had to get rid of Lucy, but if he broke it off with her it would destroy his image and everyone, especially Anna could think the worst of him. So instead of breaking it off with Lucy ,he made sure she would hate him and break it off instead.
Lord William had it all planned out, he took a job becoming king James second hand man , it was a very busy job and King James demanded many things for William to do and of course he would tell the king he would gladly do them, that made him spend less time with Lucy. One she came to King Jame's castle holding a picnic basket and said, " You have been working so hard William you need to have a break I thought you could spare a few hours so we can have a picnic." William got angry at her and yelled, " Lucy I can't you see that I have a lot of work and I don't have time for your silly picnic." Lucy got upset with William and she cried " You don't have to yell at me William if that is the way you are going to treat me I think it should be over between us." William firmly told her, " Lucy my work is important to me and it is my number one priority right now if you can't accept that I think you should leave." Lucy couldn't believe this she began to cry, " Maybe I should!" She ran crying. At a far Anna so Lucy leave in a disturbed matter, so she when to asked William what had happened. William told her " Oh princess Anna she was complaining a lot about how am always busy at work and she told me to choose between her and my work and of course I chose my work with your father."
Anna admired what William had to say to her and they became friends, they rode horses together they saw each other in royal parties. After a month pasted so William decided to ask Anna to court him ,she laughed, " Oh Lord William I am sorry to say this but I feel I am too young to marry . I want to study to be a vet first. " That made William so mad but he was willing to wait and he said to himself, " Oh Anna I am going to work so hard to make you mine.
