Marriage
Alicia sits in front of her dressing table
Her personal maid, Evelyn, brushes her hair.
Alicia Whitlock
I'm so exhausted
Evelyn
Was the young Lord that tiring?
Alicia Whitlock
You have no Idea
Alicia Whitlock
He feels the world just revolves around him
Evelyn
I fear that this is the tenth suitor you might be rejecting, Your Majesty
Evelyn
Rumours are spreading
Alicia Whitlock
I know, but I do not wish to be married to a man who sees me like some prize to be won
Evelyn
You want a husband like your father?
Alicia Whitlock
To be honest, I do not want a husband at all
Alicia Whitlock
*gets up, walks to the bed, and sits*
Alicia Whitlock
*Looks at her maid* Don't just stand there come sit
Evelyn
General Ambrose Elrod would be returning in a few Days
Alicia Whitlock
I know the Palace has been busy with the preparations for his welcoming party
Evelyn
I believe he would be a perfect suitor for you
Alicia Whitlock
why do you think so?
Evelyn
General Ambrose has no wishes for marriage, Your Highness. Besides, he is a general who spends much of his time away from home...
Alicia Whitlock
Eve, you are a genius.
Evelyn
But, Your Highness, if he does not propose...
Alicia Whitlock
I understand Evie, we have to find a way to make him propose
The Royal family is having breakfast
The dining table is long and rectangular
The King seats at the end
The Queen sits at his right hand side
Alicia sits at his left-hand side
And The Queen's son, Oliver sits beside her
Alicia Whitlock
Yes Father
Leonardo Whitlock
So was the Young Lord to your liking?
The Queen who was chatting with her son stops to listen
Leonardo Whitlock
Don't worry, you'll find someone
Alicia Whitlock
General Ambrose is returning...
Leonardo Whitlock
Yes, thus the preparations to celebrate his return
Alicia Whitlock
I would like to officially welcome him
Leonardo Whitlock
*Looks at her with starry eyes* Is the general to your liking?
Alicia Whitlock
*smiles and lowers her head* He is a charming man
Leonardo Whitlock
You can if your mother agrees
Alicia looked at the Queen with expectant eyes. After all, she was the one to welcome the General.
But it really didn't matter if she agreed or not, She had already passed the message to her father, and he always gave her what she wanted.
Lydia Whitlock
I have no problem with that
Alicia Whitlock
Thank you, Your Highness
