Thread: My Princess.. Er.. Prince. (WishXDon't)

Reese watched as his childhood home vanished from his sight. The windows of the carriage didn't hold the sight for very long and the travelling caravan spread around the royal carriage certainly didn't give him much privacy on the journey to his new home. Well, in truth, it wasn't even his new home, it was a temporary space on his way to the brand new palace created just for him and his new husband. But even that was a lie the palace was really for his sisters husband. It wasn't even his own wedding. His sister, Riley, had passed away several years ago, but by then it was too late for either of the families to break off the engagement. Both of their kingdoms were expecting the weddings to take place, although Reese's family had kept one of the greatest secrets the kingdom had ever seen. Those many years ago, it was the queen and her daughter who passed because of a horrible sickness that ran rampant through the city. Reese didn't want to, but his father had insisted in convincing him that taking his sister's spot was the best way to go the best way to help the kingdom. Reese's older brother was already in line for the throne and well on his way to being ready to take over when the time came. There was no chance that Reese would be needed to stay on the possibility of him taking over. The best place for him was making peace. Hours later, that's where he was. The man, for years, had taken the position and name of Riley, playing every role his sister was meant to perform under the report that his mother and Reese himself had passed. Inside the castle, the truth was known to the servants, but according to the city, their princess was alive and well. The new castle was coming into view and soon the whole caravan stopped. Carriages were changed, moving the proper people into the proper areas to help the 'princess' to get ready for his wedding. Reese had been careful to allow his midnight blue hair to grow out, just as his sister would, which made it easy to style and gave him the best match of what his sister would have looked like if she had made it to that age. His bright amber eyes barely lifted but a few inches off the ground of his transport, even while he had taken a nap. The man wasn't sure if he was truly ready to take on this responsibility, deathly afraid for the moment when Ewan found out he wasn't really his sister. That moment was going to kill him. Possibly literally. The carriages pulled up to the palace and Reese's stomach instantly twisted in an unwanted way. Within hours he'd be married. Married . To a man he had never met. Luckily, Riley and Ewan never spent more than a day together and it had been years since they were even close to each other. That was the only thing that would save him a few more hours of life. 'She' left the carriage, along with the servants who were travelling with her, and glanced towards his temporary home. He gulped and took in a long breath, only to be greeted by his father as he left his horse to the proper servant. I hope you're prepared, the man advised before he started into the castle. Reese mumbled to himself a short not really, but followed the man inside and straight into the hall. There was no break, no chance to rethink, no chance to stop what was going to happen. The doors opened and 'Riley' followed the visiting king into the room and up the temporary isle. As Reese's eyes landed on the prince at the front of the room, he dropped his glance again with another flip of his stomach. He was attractive, but he knew nothing about the man. This was certainly going to be an experience...
