The guard was a bit confused why two men had arrived for the princess, but the king had however warned him - making it clear that he was to allow them access to the kingdom and he did just that. He allowed them to enter the kingdom, explaining to them where they would be able to find the king and his brother. Now he stood alone to watch the gates once more, having told the men they were more than welcomed to go into the castle, giving them directions to the throne room when the king and his uncle were remained. They had been prepared for at least the two prince’s - if not more to show up as the day went on. After all, the kingdom’s princess was now at the age to marry and the guard was sure he wasn’t alone in wishing that the princess’ uncle would be removed from power soon.

To be honest, he wasn’t even sure where the princess was - she was more than willing to accept the freedom her father had allowed her to have. The princess however was wondering throughout her garden, doing her best to steer clear of her uncle  who she really didn’t get along with. But he was family and with her father ill, the young women had no other options - after all her uncle was the ‘stand in king’ of sorts…at least until she was married. Since she and her uncle did not always see eye to eye, she normally tried to stay as far away from him as possible since he didn’t agree with the freedom’s her father gave her. But since that freedom had already been given to her, her uncle couldn’t go taking it away from her.

Not that she would listen to her uncle anyway, after all he was only a temporary king - as soon as the princess was married, her uncle would step down and allow her husband to take over the throne. She knew her uncle would not take too lightly to stepping down since he had become so power hungry, but he needed to be stopped. The king and his brother were in the throne room, waiting for the princess as well as the prince’s to arrive. It had been explained to the princess that there were men coming to meet her, yet she hadn’t had it explained to her that one of them would be proposing to her and it was up to her to decide who. The young woman however would allow her company to be sent to her if her father and uncle so wished, but the two of them would surely want to meet the two men.
