(yuhhh)
“Well, it was nice chatting with you,” Brigid said at the palace gates, about to walk down into her fancy squad of cars that were going to bring her to where she staying. -
“Nice chatting with you, too,” Clay spoke with a polite nod, watching the girl walk off. He exhaled with relief but then sighed, rubbing his hands with his face. Great, how am I gonna tell my mom I don’t want to marry her? He thought anxiously, heading back inside.
-
“Well, she was nice, huh?” The queen said from the large doorway.
-
“Uh- Yeah, she- she was alright, I suppose,” Clay said, exhaling nervously. “I- I don’t think she’s right for me, though,” he added in a quiet voice, wringing his hands together.
-
The queen narrowed her eyes at her son, frowning. “What was wrong with her?”
-
“I just- I mean, she’s nice and all, but she’s not my type-“ Clay murmured, running a hand through his hair nervously.
-
“Not your type??” His mother said angrily, dragging him inside the castle for the sake of cameras. “Clay, do you know how selfish you are being? You have known this girl for just over an hour and you don’t like her because ‘she’s not your type’??”
-
“Yeah, that’s kind of how romantic attraction works-“ Clay said, furrowing his brows. “And how do you expect me to want to marry a girl I’ve known for an hour??”
-
“I’m not!” She hissed. “I’m expecting you to give her more of a chance- you hardly know her!”
-
“What if I don’t want to marry some girl you pick for me, huh? What if I want to choose who I marry??”
-
“Well, maybe it’s not about you all the time! If you’re going to be king you have to put the kingdom before yourself-“
-
“Just because I want to be king, does not mean that I shouldn’t care about myself!” Clay exclaimed, his hands beginning to shake. “I’ve been far too much of a people pleaser my whole life, and I’m kind of sick of it-“
-
“Well maybe you shouldn’t be king, then!” She said angrily.
-
“Maybe I shouldn’t!” Clay shouted, his hands clenching into fists. “Maybe then I can marry my boyfriend instead of some random ass girl you’re trying to set me up with-“ He shouted before freezing, quickly covering his mouth.
-
“What the f--- did you just say?” She said angrily. “You have a boyfriend??”
