Ella Quaintance • 19 • 5'3
(view spoiler)
Ella' parents always told her what to do. Eat this, walk this way, put your hair this way, no stand straight. So it wasnt a surprise when they told her that they had already picked her husband for her on her eighteenth birthday. They explained he perfected he was for her and their kingdom. She wad glad that she talked them into waiting unitl she was nineteen to send her to his kingdom and now the day has came. She not sure this gonna work out.
Ian O'Brien • 22 • 6'1
Ian never was good at taking orders. He did what he wanted no matter but he always did what was expected of him. His brother Michael was different. Michael followed orders, but when there was even a slight chance he did whatever he wanted to no matter what was expected of him. Thus, Ian was always cleaning up his younger brother.
• Awesome. Do you want to start us off or should i?
Today was the day, Ella sighed softly to herself. Her parents already wish her good luck. But they didnt stay for to long before they disappeared back into the castle. Ella's servents got her bags and things into her carriage as she got herself inside. They all said their goodbyes and good luck, they were more like a family to her than her actually parents. She waved goodbye as she was sent off. To a kingdom she had never been to, to be with finance. That she as never meet. Should be. She sat in the carriage reading, it was the only thing that relaxed her when she was nervous.
It didnt feel like a long ride. She got there once the sun was fully in the sky. Her driver stepped out and helpd her out. She glanced at the castle that stood in front of her with her book in her hands. She really was doing this, her stomach felt like it was at her feet. She didnt know anything about this people but here she was.
God damn it! Ian thought. He stared at the letter the messenger just brought him. His brother decided not to come home for a while. And yet his fiance was coming today. Ian shook his head. Worthless... Ian sighed. Their parents were gone as well, they had traveled to another kingdom for a wedding they were invited to. Ian was the only one at their castle overseeing everything. He was next in line for the throne and thus his father had given him the temporary responsibility of ruling his kingdom. But unfortunately, the timing could not be worse. Not only was Michael's fiance coming to stay with them, but there was a border attack on the west. No matter. Ian was a capable young lad, and he could handle whatever was thrown his way.He heard from a servant that Miss Quaintance had arrived. He walked out to meet her after pocketing the letter from his brother. Ian waited for Miss Quaintance at the entrance of the castle.
Her servent grabbed her bags and motioned for to go ahead. Ella nodded, feeling like she was about to be sick. But she made sure no one would could tell. She walked toward the castle and saw a man standing at the entrance. She thought it was Michael, her finace but as she got closer she realized he looked older than he was suppose to. She remembered her parents saying that the prince had a older brother. But couldnt remember is name. She stopped once she was at the top step before she curtsey. "Your majesty..." She said softly.
Ian watched as the young woman came up the steps. He bowed in return to her curtsy. "Miss Quaintance, please call me Ian. My father is the King, I am just the Prince Regent right now. Besides, perhaps it won't be long till we are family." He said smiling. He saw the servant with her bags and reached for a bag. "Here, allow me. I shall show you both to the your rooms." He said. He walked down a long hall and then ascended a grand staircase. "I know you were expecting my brother to be here. Unfortunately, he was called away for business purposes. I don't know exactly when he will be back, so for now, it will just be me and you dining. Unless you feel to tired to dine with me tonight and would rather eat in your room." Ian said being polite. He wondered if it was obvious when he was lying about what his brother was doing. He didn't know exactly what Michael was doing but he had a pretty good idea.
Ian, yes. How could have forgotten that. She thought to herself as she still lisyened to him. She followed him inside, her servent did the same. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside was. She couldnt help but to look around, but her eyes did go back to Ian. "I will dine with you if thats fine." She said, if she was honest she was a little disappointed that Michael wasnt here. She would like to get to know the person that her parents wanted her to spined the rest of her life with. But it was nothing to do about it, maybe it was fate. Knowing deep down that she moght not was ready. But she kept her thoughts to herself as she followed Ian.
Ian glanced back at Ella and nodded. "That's perfectly fine. I will tell the cook that we will be dining in the dining room tonight then." He turned into the bedroom he had the servants make up for her. "I hope that this bedroom is alright. If you have any complaints we can always move you to another bedroom. We aren't lacking in rooms." He smiled. There was a time when he would sleep a different room every night just to try out the rooms. He set the bags he had been carrying down on a couch. "I shall let you get settled. Dinner will be ready at about six. If you want you may rest or feel free to roam around the castle. If you have any questions you may ask the servants or you can find me in the office. The office is on the main floor about 3 doors down from the staircase." He nodded. "Right then, I will let you get to it." He bowed again and then headed off towards the office. He wanted to write a letter to his insolent brother and then he had to deal with the skirmish on the western border.
Ella walked inside the room, she didnt sew how she would have anything bad to say about the room. She wasnt the spoiled type, she knew she could get anything she wanted but rathered get anything someone would give to her. Once he lefted, Ella and her servent started unpacking and then they started talking about Michael, how he didnt tell her that he wasnt going to be here. It wasted her time coming but, she couldnt go back. So she was stuck here for a year, Great she thought to herself. She read a book from the pile that she brought with her, until six hit. Flare, Ella's servent walked her out her room. And they both headed to the dinning room.
Ian worked hard. He had sent this letter to his brother;Michael,
Your fiance is here, Miss Ella Quaintance. I urge you to get back home as soon as you can. You have a responsibility to both our parents and this young lady. When can we expect you back home?
Ian
After he sent the letter he began to strategize how to approach the skirmish. He had actually worked later than 6. It was only when Henry, his butler and most loyal friend came to get him that he realized the time. "Crap. Thank you, Henry. I shall be right down." He cleared his desk off and then rushed to the dining room. He didn't even bother to change. He bowed once he entered the dining room. "Forgive my tardiness, Miss Quaintance. I had realized the time." He sat down and nodded to the servants who served the food. "I hope you got everything settled in and it is comfortable?"
Ella sat alone while Flare decided to eat with the rest of the servents, even though Ella begged her to stay with her. Ella sat alone, she told the servents that she wanted to wait for the prince to arrive before she started eating. It was his kingdom after all. So, she should wait. Thats how she was raised. Ella waited and waited, it started to feel like he was never coming. He didnt know her so, maybe he just didnt want to be around her at the moment. How could she be mad, she was a complete stranger. She sighed softly but was shocked when he appeared. "I-It is fine." She said, she noticed he looked tired. She felt guilty that she thought of him in away. He seemed like a great guy. "Umm... Everything was perfected thank you." She said as she started eating but as she ate she couldnt help but to keep looking up at Ian.
Ian nodded and smiled. He ran a hand through his messy hair before he began to eat. He glanced up and noticed she was staring at him. He gave her a smile. "So Miss Quaintance, tell me a bit about yourself." He said. He then frowned slightly as he remembered something that had happened in the past. "Just so you know, that wasn't a command or anything. You don't have to tell me, I just..." He shrugged. He wasn't very good at associating with the members of the other sex. He felt more comfortable talking with men about skirmish's and war. But just talking to women made him awkward and he tended to ramble at times.
Ella was about to speak when he cut her off, she raised an eyebrow and shook her head. "No, your fine but Miss Quaintance is mother." She giggled. "Ella, please." She added as she started playing around with the food. "I am kinda of the awkward one in the family." She started, she couldnt say it while she was looking at him. "I am the quiet one, i love reading, and painting..." She said as she finally started eating again.
Ian nodded. "Ella." He said smiling. He listened to her and then chuckled. "You are the complete opposite of my brother. You actually sound a lot like me. I am not that awkward but around young ladies like yourself I do become a buffoon at times. And if you love reading you should see our library. If you would like after dinner I could show you. What do you paint?" He asked her eating in between talking. He wondered about his brother. He understood that pairing his brother and Ella together would be beneficial for both kingdoms but would they get along? Would Michael even get his act together before they married? Or would he just continue to act like a child? He shook his head.
"That sounds great.. But dont want to bother you." She said, she could tell he was busy with something. Plus she was gonna be here a while, so she wasnt in a rush. "Maybe another time. When your finished with your duties." She added, she lived with five men, one including her father she knew the duties they had so she understood that men had things to do. "Ummm.. I dont think you could call it art, my oldest brother as them hanging in my room. He is my only fan." She said with a chuckle, her oldest brother Toni, was also getting married soon but he choose his wife. He loved her with all his heart, but Ella didnt have the same change like they did.
Ian shrugged. "It's no bother. I could use a little break anyways." He told her. And it was the truth. He only had to write a few letters out to the western border and hopefully the general out there would solve the problem for him. If not he might have to travel to the Western border himself and see what was going on. He sighed at the thought of that. He didn't want to leave Ella alone, sure she would be with the servants but... He realized she was talking again about her painting. He nodded. "Well, it sounds as if you are an artist to me, especially if you already have a fan. I'd love to see one of your paintings." He told her with a smile. "So you have four brothers, is that correct? Your oldest is Toni, I believe, and isn't he getting married soon?" He asked. He liked to be informed on other kingdoms. Especially the kingdoms they were aligned with.
She was shooked that he knew so much about her family. She nodded to him. "Yes but how..." She said, he knew more about her than she did about him. "I feel bad now, you know so much about me and i dont nothing you or your kingdom." she said sadly. She started playing with her food, she was full. She was never really a eater when she was nervous.
Ian smiled. "I am next in line to be King, Ella. I must keep up with what is going on in neighboring kingdoms." He finished his food. "And don't feel bad. I can answer any questions you want to know about me or my kingdom." He told her with a smile. "Are you finished? Would you like some wine or shall I show you to the library?" He asked leaning forward towards her. He then shook his head. "Or do you want to just rest in your room? Or you can roam the castle by yourself if you do not wish to have company right now." He sighed and closed his mouth as he realized he was rambling yet again.
Ella smiled and nodded. He was right, she nodded once again as she pushed the plate away from her. "Yes, and i would like to go to the library but i could fine it by myself." She said as she got to her feet. "Thank you for the meal." She said before she curtsed and she walked out the room. She walked out into the hall, she didnt want to be rude but she was still nervous. So she thought it would be best if she didnt hang around him to much at one time.
Ian nodded and got to his feet as she left. He watched her go before he sent for a glass of scotch and then went back to the office. He wanted to finish those letters. He was stopped by Henry and handed a letter. He saw it was from Michael.Ian,
I remember that Ella was supposed to be here today. I just can't think about getting married just yet. I am still young, not yet 20. I will be back when I feel I am ready to meet her. I am not sure when that is. Please don't say anything to mom or dad. I will be back just not now.
Michael
"God damn it, Michael." He said aloud. He ripped the letter apart and threw it into the fireplace in the office. He shook his head and then went to his desk to finish up those letters about the skirmish at the western border. He would deal with his brother later. Right now he didn't even want to think about him.
Ella had got lost a few times as she walked around looking for the library, it took her almost a hour. But once she finally founded it she couldnt believe her eyes. They had so many books, so many beautiful books. Her parents had a library as well, and it had a lot of books to but she had read all of them by time she was fifthteen. She had started having books come to her but now she was inside a new castle with new books. 
Ella walked throw the rows of the books. She read the titles of them as walked throw them one by one. Until she finally picked one, she opened it and started reading. She walked out the library as she read. She walked the halls, every time the servents saw her the bowed but she was to forced on the book that she didnt noticed. But she soon glanced up and noticed she was standing by Ian's office. She sighed softly before she peeked in. Not wanting to bother him but she did want to see if he was busy.
Ian wrote and rewrote the letters to the western border. Than he decided to try again to his brother.Michael,
It does not matter at what age you marry. It is your responsibility as a prince to marry this young lady. Come home and meet your fiance. I have met her and she is a very agreeable young woman. Perhaps a bit shy but that will no doubt fade once you two get to know each other. I won't tell our parents that you aren't home. But I urge you once again to come home and fulfill your duties as a son, as a prince, and as a fiance.
Ian
An hour later and Ian had sent off all the letters he needed to and decided to just relax his eyes for a moment. However as he rested his eyes he felt his whole body relax and he drifted off to sleep with his head resting on his desk.
Instead of finding a busy man, she found a sleeping man. She smiled and walked in, quietly making sure. She didnt wake him up, she placed her book down on a table. And then she grabbed a blanket that was on a chair as she walked in, she covered him up and turned off the light once she lefted the room. She went back to reading her book, she walked around the castle before she finally headed into her room. Flare was already in her bed acrossed the room, she asked Ella where she was but saw the book in her hands and smiled noticing she founded the castle library. Ella went to sleep reading the book.
Ian woke up the next morning with a pain in his neck. He groaned and sat up rubbing his neck. He heard the blanket fall to the floor and he looked it with a frown. He hadn't grabbed a blanket, he hadn't even meant to fall asleep. He shook his head and grabbed the blanket from the floor and folded it. He set the folded blanket back on the chair and headed upstairs to his room to shower and change his clothes. He passed Henry on the way. "Master Ian, I noticed your bed was still made. Did you never turn in for the night?" he asked politely. Ian chuckled. That was Henry for you, always watching over Ian. "I slept, Henry. Just at my desk." Henry tsked him and then walked away shaking his head leaving Ian watching after the older man with a smile on his face. He ran up the stairs and by Ella's room and then into his room. He looked at his bed and smirked. He was going to jump on his bed and make the bed a mess but that meant more work for the maids so instead he headed to bathroom to shower.
Ella woke up to footsteps, she rubbed her eyes and lifted up. She placed her back against the headboard. She ran her hand through her messy hair, she yawned and strechted in the bed. She glanced over and noticed Flare was gone. She assumed she had founded some people to be around, which was fine. As long as she saw her every now and then, Ella wouldnt mind. She grabbed the book from last night. She had read to page 100 last night, she sighed as she got out the bed. She walked into the bathroom that was connected to her room.Once she came back out, she was only wearing her robe and her was all wet from the shower. She went through her stuff as started getting dress.
Ian took a quick shower and then began to change. He rubbed the towel over his wet hair and just pushed it back. He was then ready for whatever the day held for him. But first, food. He walked to Ella's room and knocked on the door. "Miss Quain..." he paused and remembered she wanted to be called Ella. "Ella, would you care to join me for breakfast?" he asked politely. He hoped that he wouldn't be a fumbling idiot again.
Ella was sitting on her bed, she had all ready gotten dress. But her hair was still wet she was rubbing a towel through it to at least make it stop dripping. She heard a knock and then his voice, she giggled at the facted that almost forgot but he fixed himself. She got up, leaving the towel on her bed and walked to the door, she opened the door with a bright smile on her face. "Yeah, breakfast sounds great." She said. She stepped out in the hall with him, closing the door behind herself. "Do you know what we will be having?" She asked.
Ian smiled and shook his head. "I'm not sure. Whenever it's just me at the castle the chef cooks whatever he wants to and surprises me. My mother when she is here gives him a menu for what she wants. So he doesn't really have a say in what we eat. But when she and my father are away he cooks for us specialty meals." He explained. He grinned. "His food is always the best." He began to descend the staircase. "So what do you have planned for today?" he asked her. He wondered if perhaps she would like to go see his kingdom with him today.
Ella nodded softly as they walked side by side. She softly smiled at the ended. "Well, his cook was great last night. So i look for to the surprise." She said, she glanced over at him before looking at her feet as she walked the the last steps. "Well i was thinking about writing Michael to see if could come sooner." She admitted as sge played with her wet hair. "After that, i dont have anything to do really." She said with a shrug of her shoulder. "I guess i would finish reading the book, i found in the library." She added.
Ian stalled for a moment as he registered her comment about Michael. "Ah..." He continued walking beside her. "Michael might be away for quite a while. I'm not sure when he'll be back. The business that pulled him away may take longer than he thought it would." He rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Yeah, being an fricking idiot." He looked back over at Ella. "I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to town this morning. I would love to show you around my kingdom." He waited for Ella to walk into the dining room before he entered himself.
Ella sighed she was getting a feeling that Michael wasnt way on business. She bit her tongue for a moment before she decided sge had to know. She had to know what type of man did her family send for her to deal with. She sighed and nodded first. "I would love to.." She said with a fake smile that disappeared quickily as they were sitted. "He is not away on a business is he? He ran off because he didnt want to deal with me." She said not meaning to sad, she didnt even know him but the thought he couldnt even try to get along with her did make her feel like something was wrong with her. After all the training her parents but her through from birth she still wasnt perfected for anyone.
Ian smiled and then it quickly vanished. He sighed and shook his head as he sat down in a chair. "No. He has no business to attend to." He watched her face and shook his head. "He's a spoiled child, Ella. He just needs time is all. He'll be back. When he'll be back is still unknown at this time. But I promise you, he will be back. He cannot shy away from his responsibilities." He groaned. "I am sorry for his behavior." He said. He ran a hand through his still damp hair. Damn Michael. He was off partying and no doubt hooking up with various women while his fiance was stuck here with boring old Ian.
She nodded to his words. She knew he was trying to make her feel better but in all honesty it wasnt working. But she put on her fake smile. "Yeah... Of course, well.. Its not like i have anyother choice but to wait." She said stating the obvious. She couldnt leave until the marriage date was sat, her patents throught it was going to take a year but it might be longer than that. She thought about writing a letter to her parents telling them everything but knew that they either wouldnt believe her or it would case a problem with the two kingdoms. Either one she wanted to deal with so decided to look at this as a little break from home. But she still wanted to send a letter to Michael. "Do you think you can send my letter to Michael for me? And then you could explore the kingdom." She said.
Ian nodded solemnly. He felt bad for her and irritated at his brother for making this young lady wait for him, when all he was doing was being a absolute tool. He nodded again. "Sure. I can do that." He said as the food was brought in. "So what has Vince prepared for us this morning?" He asked the maid. The maid blushed slightly as she told him it was a Cajun style biscuit and gravy with a side of waffles and fruit. "Looks delicious, give Vince our gratitude." He told the maid who nodded and left with a smile. Ian was oblivious to the way the maid acted. When it came to women he really was clueless.
Ella watched as the maids face had completely turned red. She laughed to herself, he seemed to have a way with women. Which was completely different from what he told her last night. She glanced at the food as the maid explained the meal but glanced up when she started to walk away. "I see you have a way with the women around here." She said not realizing she was talking out loud until it was to late. She didnt mean for that to come out but, she didnt say anything. She bit down her lip as she started playing with the food before she started getting, get nervous all over again.
Ian had his fork to his mouth when she spoke. He frowned and then laughed. "What? Me? Yeah right. How do you figure that? All I did was ask what was for breakfast and then asked her to thank Vince for us." He recalled his conversation with the maid and shook his head. He couldn't think of anything that he did to make the maid fall head over heels for him. He chuckled softly. If his brother was here the maid would be ignoring him completely. His brother had a way with the women, they seemed to fall for him instantly.
She couldnt help giggle at his comment. "Well, maybe your one of the luckily few that dont need to do slot to make someone fall for you. " She seemed to think you were loveable." Ella added, she didnt know why she was speaking like she knew the guy. Part of wanted to curl up in a box but the other actually wanted to talk to him, she was going to be stuck here for what it seem like forever unitl Michael decids to pop out from the rock he was hiding under.
Ian raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Nope, I doubt that. Besides, I sort of have to be picky about who I will marry. Since she will not only be married to me but she'll be the next Queen and rule the kingdom with me." He sighed. "It's a lot to ask of a woman." He said shrugging. He had actually been in love with a woman before and he even asked her to marry him. She told him that she wasn't looking for a relationships with him because there was no way she could be Queen, she just wanted to have fun.
