Two years has gone by, Alexander was turning 25,today being Alexander's birthday he made a request to visit the village and meet his people, Alexander wanted to pick up some things as he was out so he took his friend,Anthony.

Anthony and Alexander go way back and have been best friends from birth, and they happen to be celebrating birthdays together, Alexander and Anthony took off to the village, as they approach the village the word had already gone out that the prince would visit the village, and the villagers had prepared a banquet for the prince, he was so overwhelmed, as he gave a speech he went down to buy a bouquet for his mother, as he approaches the flower vendor, behold a magnificent site, as they both set eyes on each other, a sudden spark ignited a fire in one's heart, the prince was in a lost for words,"Alex are you okay" Anthony asked, prince Alexander replied what is a man to do when witnessing a breathtaking site, Alexander seems to have fallen in love as he approached the maiden, suddenly an old lady comes and pull's the maiden away form the prince ,"that seems to be her mother" Anthony said, prince Alexander tries to get hold of the maiden, but he was only able to pull the strap from her apron, Alexander was still in a lost for words,"come on my friend"said Anthony, Alexander and Anthony went deeper into to the village to meet more people, Alexander was still thinking of the woman he saw, Alexander has never actually been in love,and he never believes In love at first site,I guess he proved his self wrong,as Alexander concluded his visitation to village he picked up some things for his sister princess Sophia, Alexander and Anthony has arrived at the castle,and was welcomed by the palace maid's,Alex(Alexander) could not stop thinking of the woman,and he does not know her name,but he did not give up he did more research on her and he found out that her name is bella,she is living with her mother who is a widow and they recently entered the village,as Alex was still researching on bella he was summoned by the king Charles (his father)for supper, Alex has wonderful parents and they really care about him and would do anything for him, Alex took the advantage by bringing up the topic of getting married, queen Eliza(his mother) seemed to be really interested in getting prince Alex married to a princess from the neighboring kingdom,but Alex had refused her offer but she did not accept defeat,deep in the queen's heat she has a great motive for wanting the prince married to the neighboring kingdom.

Queen Eliza sat at her desk, sipping her morning tea as she stared at the stack of letters and portraits before her. She had sent out inquiries to the neighboring kingdoms, seeking the perfect bride for Prince Alex. But as she scanned the responses, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Some of the princesses were too young, others too old. Some were beautiful but lacked intelligence, while others were clever but lacked charm. None seemed quite right for her son.

Just as she was about to give up, a knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. It was her trusted advisor, Lord Thomas.

"Your Majesty, I've received word from the Kingdom of Everwood," he said, bowing low. "They're offering their princess, Christina, as a potential bride for Prince Alex."

Queen Eliza's eyes narrowed. "Tell me more."

Lord Thomas hesitated, "Well, Your Majesty, Princess Christina is...unconventional. She's known for her bravery and skill in battle, but also for her stubbornness and disregard for royal protocol."

Queen Eliza raised an eyebrow. "Go on."

"She's also quite beautiful, but in a...unique way. Not the traditional princess type, but more of a...wildflower, Your Majesty."

Queen Eliza leaned back in her chair, intrigued. "I like that. We need someone who can keep up with Alex's adventurous spirit. Invite them to the palace for a visit. Let's see if they're a good match."

Meanwhile, Prince Alex was out in the castle gardens, training with his sword. He had no idea his mother was arranging his marriage behind his back. But as he clashed swords with his instructor, he couldn't shake the feeling that his life was about to change forever...

As Prince Alex trained in the gardens, his mind kept wandering to the beautiful maiden he had met in the village.they had fallen deeply in love.

But alas, their love was forbidden. bella was a commoner, and Prince Alex knew his mother would never approve of their relationship. He had tried to push the thoughts of Emily aside, but he couldn't help the way he felt.

Just then, his instructor, Sir Edward, called out, "Enough for today, Prince Alex! You're distracted."

Prince Alex sheathed his sword, his heart heavy with worry. How could he marry some princess his mother chose when his heart belonged to

Little did he know, his mother was at that very moment planning his engagement to Princess Christina of Everwood..

Prince Alex's mind kept wandering to the beautiful maiden he had seen in the village. He had only caught a glimpse of her, but her sparkling eyes and bright smile had captivated him. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen his soulmate.

As he attended the ball, hosting Princess Christina, his eyes scanned the crowd, hoping to catch another glimpse of the mysterious maiden. But she was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, bella, the maiden, was watching the ball from afar, hidden behind a tapestry. She had sneaked into the palace to see the prince again, but only from a distance. Their eyes met for a brief moment, and Alex's heart skipped a beat.

Christina, noticing his distraction, leaned in close. "Perhaps we can help each other, Prince Alex," she whispered. "I have secrets of my own, and I sense you do too."

Alex's eyes never left bella's face, his heart racing with excitement. He knew he had to find a way to meet her again, to talk to her, to learn more about her...

As the night wore on, Prince Alex found himself torn between his duty to his mother and his growing fascination with the mysterious maiden. He knew he had to make a choice, but his heart was leading him astray.

Just as the clock struck midnight, bella slipped away, disappearing into the shadows. Prince Alex excused himself from Christina and rushed after her, determined to catch up.

He followed her through the winding corridors of the palace, his heart pounding in his chest. Finally, he reached the gardens, where he saw her standing alone, looking up at the stars.

"Wait!" he called out, running towards her.

Emily turned, her eyes shining with tears. "I shouldn't be here," she whispered.

But Prince Alex took her hand, his heart overflowing with emotion. "I'm glad you are," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

And with that, they shared their first kiss, under the starry night sky...

Prince Alex and bella's kiss under the stars left them both breathless. They knew they had to keep their love a secret, but they couldn't deny the connection between them.

As they parted ways, Alex couldn't shake off the feeling that his life was about to change forever. He knew his mother would never approve of their relationship, and the weight of his royal duties threatened to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, bella returned to her village, her heart racing with excitement. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and she knew she had to see Alex again.

But fate had other plans. Queen Eliza, determined to secure the alliance with Everwood, announced Prince Alex's engagement to Princess Christina at a grand ceremony.

Alex was devastated. He knew he couldn't marry Christina, not when his heart belonged to bella. But he was trapped, duty-bound to his kingdom.

bella, hearing the news, felt her world crumble. She knew she couldn't compete with the princess, and that Alex was lost to her forever.

Or so she thought.

In a surprising twist, Princess Christina sought out bella in the village. "I know about you and Alex," she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "And I'm here to help."

Princess Christina took bella's hand, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm being forced to marry Alex, just like he's being forced to marry me. My parents want the alliance, but I have someone else in my heart."

bella's eyes widened in surprise. "Who?"

Christina smiled wistfully. "His name is Henry, a knight from our kingdom. We've been secretly meeting for months, but our parents would never approve."

bella's heart went out to Christina. She knew exactly what it felt like to be trapped by duty.

"We have to help each other," Christina said, determination in her eyes. "We can't let our parents dictate our lives. Alex and I will go through with the engagement, but we'll find a way to be with our true loves."

bella nodded, a plan forming in her mind. "I have an idea. Let's work together to make this happen."

And so, the unlikely allies began to weave a web of secrets and lies, determined to follow their hearts, no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, Prince Alex was struggling with his own demons. He knew he couldn't marry Christina, not when his heart belonged to bella. But he was trapped, duty-bound to his kingdom.

As the engagement festivities continued, Alex found himself drawn to christina's kindness and understanding. But he knew it was bella he truly loved...

But prince Alex had no Idea that Christina had her own plans for the engagement,the guest we're awaiting the arrival of princess Christina.

but it seems that she was not coming, as everyone was wondering her whereabouts suddenly, her kingdom's spokes man came to announce that Christina will not be attending this festival,but the spokes man did not give them a reason it seems that this was the plan princess Christina had in mind.

The spokesman's words hung in the air like a challenge. "The engagement between Prince Alex and Princess Christina will be postponed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Queen Eliza's face turned red with rage. "Postponed? Impossible! We will not be humiliated like this!"

But Prince Alex felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this was his chance to escape the engagement and be with bella.

As the crowd erupted into chaos, bella slipped away, her heart racing with excitement. She knew Christina's plan was working, but she also knew the risks. If they got caught, the consequences would be severe.

Meanwhile, Christina and bella met up by the river, Christina in a black trench coat, whispered to bella "we need to move quickly". The queen will not give up easily."

bella nodded, her mind racing with the next steps. They had to get Christina and Henry together, and then... well, that was the tricky part.

As the festival grounds emptied, Prince Alex slipped away, determined to find Emily and make their own plans. But little did he know, Queen Eliza had one last trick up her sleeve...

As the days passed, Christina's assistant kept bella informed of Christina's plans. But bella began to notice something strange - whenever she mentioned Henry, Christina would change the subject.

"Christina, when will we meet Henry?" bella asked one day.

Christina's eyes darted around the room. "Oh, look! A bird outside the window. Have you seen it?"

bella's suspicions grew. Was Christina hiding something?

One night, as they snuck around the castle, Christina's assistant revealed the truth. "There is no Henry," she whispered. "Christina just didn't want to marry Prince Alex. She's been using the story to stall the engagement."

bella's eyes widened in shock. "But what about the spokesman's announcement? The missing person?"

The assistant shrugged. "Just a ruse to buy us time. But now, Queen Eliza is getting suspicious. We need to act fast."

Just then, a noise echoed down the corridor. Footsteps, heavy and deliberate.

"It's the queen's guard," the assistant whispered. "They've discovered us."

And with that, the door burst open, and bella found herself face to face with...

Queen Eliza herself, a fierce glint in her eye. "You're the one who's been helping Christina, aren't you?" she spat. "You'll pay for your treachery."

And with that, everything went black.
