Change of Plans (Not Done) - Allison (phonics readers .TXT) 📗

were filled the fourth one was empty, The herald announces that Lukas has arrived leaving me to wonder who I am about to marry, and who the fourth throne belongs to. As we make our way to the front of the Throne Room, I notice as the people start to bow, leaving me looking around trying to see who they were bowing to.
“They are bowing to us.” The man whispers into my ear. Before he can say anymore, he leaves walking up to fourth throne, leaving me behind, and very confused. The sovereign or so I presume beckons me forward.
“We are here today to welcome Kaiden Ann Montage to our country, to become the wife of my second son, who will take the throne when I die, for my first son is leaving to help his first wife rule her country, so when I die I am leaving this country in the hand of Lukas, Kaiden and Lukas will take great care for most of you as you may know, for Lukas is friends of you all, any way you are all invited to wedding on May 10, if anybody has any objections, please say so now.” He said, but that would make me a ruler, I am not sure if I can handle that I am only sixteen, and besides the age factor I don’t even know who I am to marry, beside the name, plus he is only a year older than me.
“You’re majesty, I have no objection, but may I ask what happened to the first fiancé?” A random person yells out from the crowd. I am now very confused.
“On normal circumstances I wouldn’t answer, but because I don’t know the answer myself, why don’t we have Lukas answer.” Yes, please, at least this would give me a clue at who I was to marry, but then the man I least expected stood up. As he cleared his throat, he turned to look me in the eyes, and tell the story of what is told to be.
“You all met Jayden, but I had only met her once, and that was the day on the wedding that was scheduled, I know that is considered bad luck, but I just had to meet her once, and so I found her on the floor of her dressing room, with her neck slit, and my jewel encrusted blade in her hand, it is told that she had been shown a picture of me, and had thought I too scary to continue on with the wedding, and decided to kill herself was best. So she is dead, and end of story, shall we move on now please.” His face returning to stone, as he sat down.
“Yes, m’lord.” The person replied, the crowd went silent to have heard the story, and had now gotten very loud, over the discussion of how deeply scary the prince truly was.
“Lukas, you may leave, make sure to bring Kaiden, with you.”
“Yes, Father.” He said tightly, then got up to leave.
“Wait, I wasn’t done, read this note and follow as it says.” Lukas replied with a curt nod. Then we left, it was oddly silent, but yet it fit, the mood, I had a sense that it wasn’t something to Lukas wanted to talk about, so we walked on in silence.
“I will show you around tomorrow, for now I will bring us to my room, where we can obey, his notes wishes.” Lukas said subtly startling me out of the silence.
“Lukas, what exactly does the note say?” I asked suddenly curious.
“Call me Luke, and later.” He replied curtly, ending the conversation, sending me back into my thoughts. When I ran into a guardian, who was guarding one of the doors. Luke gave me a funny look, but continued walking, I apologized to the man getting no response, and continued walking trying to catch up to Luke, but when I would get close, he would speed up losing me again, so it turned into a game until I was running, trying to keep up to see where we were going. When finally he came to a stop waiting for me to catch up.
Lukas’s P.O.V
I am waiting for her to catch up and then when she reaches the corner I will enter my room, leaving the door open slightly, then wait to see her expression of seeing the room she would be living in from now on. I hear her coming closer, and see her red shoe, pop around the corner so I race into my room, and hop onto my bed waiting to see her expression, I keep my senses up so I make sure she finds her way, she keeps taking tantalizingly slow footsteps as if she wants to see how I will react, and so I wait. She comes across the door, and slowly opens it, I turn over, to see her mouth hanging open in shock. When I notice she is looking towards my purple butterfly, not getting caught up in those memories, I turn back to face her. She is now glancing at my flatscreen, by bed, the doors to the bathroom and closet, and then back to me, where her gaze stops and rests.
“You like?” I asked teasing her
 “Very much so. All of it.”
“Funny. You hungry?” I asked trying to keep the conversation light and easy for now.
“Yes, please.” She said with a hopeful glance, at a chance of getting some food.
“You could have told me, you don’t have to starve you know.” Suddenly she says something that I really don’t know how to answer.
“Okay, I have several questions, the first one. Do we have to sleep with each other?”
“Well, unless you want to sleep on the floor, but other that, no we don’t have to, share the same bed. I can get you some blankets, for the floor if you would like.” I said with a grin tossed her way.
“Now, you’re just being mean, I don’t want to sleep on the floor, but no funny business.” She said.
“Not a problem of mine. Next question.” I said smartly.
“Did you know that you brother was giving up the throne?’
“Truthfully.” Seeing her nod, I continue. “No, no I didn’t, it was a shock as much as me to you, but I just know how to keep, a straight face during a court gesture.”
“Well, keeping a straight face, isn’t as easy for me as it is for you, my father isn’t as formal as yours and doesn’t continue any of those old traditions.”
“Don’t worry I’m not making fun of you.” I said trying to hold back a laugh, but I saw the look of outrage on her face.
Kaiden’s P.O.V.
That, that jerk, how could her just stand there and make fun of me in front of my face, I was so angry I got up and left. I hear his laughter following me. Trying to blow of steam I don’t really watch where I am going my mind is just in a blaze of red. When I hear footsteps following me. Thinking it was Lukas, I spun around and poked him in the chest. When I realized that it wasn’t Luke.
“Well, that is a polite way of saying hello.” The man said.
“I’m sorry I thought you were someone else.” I said as I shrugged and continued walking.
“I’m guessing that someone else would be my brother?” The man said with a chuckle. Making me shocked. This man was gorgeous, he was about six feet and five inches, with dirty blonde hair, with smoky gray eyes, he had a blue streak going down his hair, making his eyes pop. He was wearing a gray suit, with a blue tie, and had bright blue Vans. He looked nothing like Lukas, making me wonder.
“You hypothesis would be correct. Who might you just be?” I said slyly.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m Liam, Lukas’s younger brother, but only by a two years, but that makes me a middle child with all the rest.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, you must not get a lot of attention, but then again, I don’t no much I am the oldest girl in my family, with only one older brother, I guess I never really knew how my other siblings were treated.” I said with a sad smile.
“Well, now you know, it is exactly the same for me, I get ignored by my siblings, and aren’t my parents first priority. Leaving me to do what I want.”
“Oh. Maybe, we will just have to fix that. Hi, my name is Kaiden, and I will be your new follower.” I said with a giggle.
“I can already see, you are going to be a really cool sister, anyway would you like a tour of the place, cause I can guess that my brother hasn’t showed you much.” Liam said with a grin.
“Well, that may be true, but I don’t need you to talk about me behind my back.” Luke said appearing out of no where making me screech. Making the boys groan in pain.
“DON’T DO THAT!”
“Do what?” Lukas asked.
“Sneak up on me!” I said in frustration as if it wasn’t obvious, that is when my stomach chose to growl.
“I guess the first place on our tour, will be the kitchen.” Liam said with a grin.

Lukas’s P.O.V.
I found Kaiden in the hallway, near my father’s room, talking to Liam my younger brother, offering to take her on a tour of the place and discussing...me? So I choose the perfect time to interrupt.
“Well, that may be true, but I don’t need you to talk about me behind my back.” I said with a grin tossed at them. When Kaiden let out an ear-splitting screech, making both me and my brother groan in pain. The more I look at Liam, I realize that he might just be handsome, it is kind of weird observing him now, after I have spent so much time trying to avoid my family. Where Kaiden decides to let me know her opinion of me sneaking up on them.
“DON’T DO THAT!” She said in frustration I guess pointed at me, she looked cute when she was mad, she put her fists, to her sides, and crinkled up her nose.
“Do what?” I said pretending that I didn’t already know, which made her annoyed.
“Sneak up on me.” She said still with her fists on her hips. When her stomach growled, making me grin. While Liam offered to show her the way to the kitchen. On our walk I observed Kaiden, she would flinch at every little noise, and hated silence, so she tried to create small talk.
“How old are you Liam?”
“Sixteen.” Liam replied. I was confused, he was sixteen already. I hadn’t noticed.
“Really?” I asked. Not noticing I had voiced my opinion aloud.
“Yes,” My brother said, sounding annoyed, that I didn’t believe him.
"Well sorry, if no one has noticed, I sort have been secluded for a while." I said with a grimace, and holding onto my head.
"Are you okay?" Kaiden asked, grabbing on to my arm.
“Not really. No. Look, Kaiden, why don’t you continue the tour, with Liam, I think I am going to lie down for a while.”
“Okay, if you are sure.” She said glancing at me in concern. I gave her a curt nod. So they went, leaving me stuck in memory lane.
