Evangeline's Pov

After breakfast -

"Unbelievable!" Mrs. Potts cried out as I told her about my parents arranging a marriage for me. I couldn't help but nod at her expression.

"Oh, dear. You should never be forced into marriage." Belle chimed in and sighed. "Love is beautiful and fragile. You must be married to someone who loves you just as you love them."

Suddenly Lumiere opened the door and bowed "Your ride awaits, mademoiselle." He looked at me and nodded.

"Well thank you all so much for your hospitality. I hope I can drop by again!" I clasped both my hands behind my back and bowed my head down.

"Stay safe!" Belle called out before I exited the castle doors. I breathed in the scent of the roses that surrounded the castle.

Lumiere was already mounted on his horse that was parked outside of the gates. "Mademoiselle," he smiled and extended his arm for my reach.'I carefully placed my hand in his and sat awkwardly behind him.

I couldn't help but stare at the horse in awe. He was gorgeous, his mane was black as his horse was too. A white line that led down the middle of his face, up to his snout. His tawny saddle was made especially for him, his name embroidered on the saddle; Chandler . Chandler was a calm and loyal horse. The qualities for a royal companion was all there.

Lumiere gently whipped the reins "Alez mon ami!" He shouted as the horse started to bolt through the forest. "O, I am terribly sorry but please hold on. My friend goes very fast." He laughed and held my hands that were wrapped around his waist.

Lumiere's expression suddenly went from giddy to serious as another horse approached them. He cursed under his breath and tugged on the stallion's reins. He came to a halt and lowered his head down to the grass to look for a snack. "Ah, monsieur Gaston. What a pleasant surprise." He said with sarcasm clear in his voice.

"I never thought I'd see you with the candle freak, Evangeline." Gaston narrowed his eyes at Lumiere. "Lumiere, why is the girl with you?" He grew jealous to see his Evangeline with another man.

Lumiere grinned, pleasured to his jealousy. "Oh, this young lady. I found her out here in the storm last night." He paused for a second and continued his statement "She told us that you both shared a kiss. She grew embarrassed to find herself kissing a narcissist, such as yourself."

These were clearly lies, well except for the kissing part. But that was not the reason, well maybe but I was uncertain of it. I looked at Lumiere with clear disapproval.

"Is that true, Fleur?" He let out a low growl and dismounted his horse. He was angry, oh boy. This was the first time he had called me by my last name. This hinted his anger level.

I dismounted the horse and walked towards Gaston but was stopped. Lumiere had commanded his horse to jump in front of me. "Lumiere." I crossed my arms, impatient with the man.

"Ze man is dangerous!" He cried out and pleaded with her "Please, mademoiselle. I will get you back home safely. I don't want you to end up with this irresponsible fool." The last words he spat out.

"Alright, dad. Let me talk to him atleast." I groaned and felt like a baby. I walked around the tall stallion and stood in the middle of both of the men.
