The brother and fiancée: Chapter 1

Francis POV

The worst thing you can ever see is your older brother, who is more like your best friend, and the love of your life kissing. I suppose it wasn't all their faults because I practically handed Mary over to Bash, but still. Wait, it gets worse. On top of that, I can't run away, refuse to speak to Bash, or dump Mary because I am king. King of France. Wouldn't you think that would mean I could do whatever I wanted? Well, no. I can't break my alliance with Mary because it works for our countries, and if I lose Bash, I lose my father, also known as the present King Of France. On top of that, Mary had gotten rid of Olivia at last. Honestly, if I had never witnessed their kissed I wouldn't be in this mess. All of Mary and I's obstacles would be gone, and we'd be as close as we could to being just a boy and just a girl. Everyone was gone, and if I didn't know what happened I could be with her right now. Feeling her soft lips press against mine, and her addictive vanilla lavender scent. The best way to resolve things was to talk it out. I immediately called the guards to send for both Mary and Bash.

Bash showed up first, and when I looked at him I couldn't see how he was attractive to Mary. He had fluorescent green eyes that pierced into you and read you, they didn't tell a story. My eyes were blue and as I've been told once, you get lost in them like a sea. He never brushed his hair and was illegitimate, how could Mary choose him over me. It was confusing.

"Hey brother," he teased, maintaining a carefree tone and pretending nothing had happened. I would play along until Mary arrived.

"Hey," I replied coolly.

"So, what crisis have you called us for this time?"

"I will explain when Mary reaches; I don't know what's taking her so long," I said to put him in place.

"Would you like me to go check on her?" he asked and I silently cursed him. Anger was boiling up inside me.

"No. I would not like you to go check on her. Stay away from her. There have been far too many secrets between us. I hope they will stop."

"Of course," he said taken aback by my sudden seriousness but I wanted that effect.

Mary walked in, making an entrance as usual. Her auburn hair hung down off her shoulders and her eyes sparkled. She was wearing a black dress that hugged her curves, and was just the perfect length; bodycon and short, but appropriate for a castle.

"Ahh, Mary, you've decided to join us,"

"Yes, now what was it you felt the need to disturb me from my archery for?"

"I know about the two of you. Your kiss, I mean. I'm upset, and Mary I want you to know, I can't bear the sight of seeing you with anyone else. I'll admit, I was jealous when I saw it, and sorry Bash, but I wanted to kill you right then and there. As you guys know, I've had my fair share of mistakes to, so Mary can we start over? I love you, more than anything, you're my life, and I don't want to die. We have something special that we can't deny. And Bash, you are the best brother anyone can ever ask for. Not to get into bromance but you are pretty awesome, so are we cool? Just to get this straight though, don't ever kiss or touch Mary again, and Mary I'd prefer if you don't interact with any man, but that won't happen so just don't kiss anyone besides me. " I took a big breath and recited this speech which I was actually very proud of. It was improvisation too.

"I love you Francis, so much. I can't bear the thought of being without you. As hard as we may be, the thought of waking up next to you motivates me. I'm ready for whatever comes along, as long as I can face it with you," Mary said and flung her arms around me passionately. Bash noticed that it was his queue to leave, grinned at me, and left.

I wrapped my arms around her petite waist, and kissed her as hard as I could. She cupped my face and slowed down the kiss. I bit her bottom lip, then caressed it. A moan escaped her lips. I didn't want to stop, but we couldn't be seen like this. I grabbed her hand and led her to my room. We shared a secretive glance and touching her brought me an adrenaline rush I only felt with her. She let out a giggle, then covered her mouth with shock. I quietly opened my bedroom and gently pushed her to the bed and landed on top of her.
