Prince Matthew and Princess Stephanie lived in a kingdom far far away a long

time ago. They we're to be married in one months time. The young couple was madly in love and could hardly wait for their big day to arrive. The kingdom couldn't wait either. One of the things the Prince and Princess were most known for was their kindness. They loved everyone and everything and would do whatever they could to help people. Most royals would make the peasants work and make their lives miserable, but Matthew and Stephanie took pity on the peasants and tried to help them improve their lives. They also opened an orphanage in the kingdom that some say was as close to living in the castle as you could get. Needless to say, they loved their kingdom as much as each other and everyone was excited about the grand wedding and their coronation. Everyone but one gretty Prince named Draco. He had a massive crush on the Princess and would do anything to make her his. No matter the cost.

   "Oh the lemon cake would be a fine choice for the wedding. Make sure there is enough

for the whole kingdom." said Stephanie to the head chef.

"Which means make it double the amount of how many children their are because they'll want more the one slice?" he asked with a smile.

"Quite right, after all it is the job of Matthew and I to spoil them." said Stephanie returning the smile. The chef chuckled. "Speaking of Matthew, where is he? The last time I saw him was last night. Have you seen him?" she asked.

"Probably on one of early morning rides your highness."

"Yes, but he knew today we were making final decisions on everything."

"I'm sure he just lost track of time, I wouldn't worry. I'll put the order in now for all the food." he said. He bowed down and walked away.

"Don't forget to take breaks once in a while. Thats an order." said Stephanie. Though she was still worried about Matthew. Something in her gut told her something wasn't right. Then her steward, Jason, approached her. He was about to open his mouth when Stephanie cut him off.

"Could you please hold off on any further wedding decisions. I need to find my fiancee. If you see him before me, come get me and tell him to meet me by my bedchamber." she said. He nodded and gave the orders. Stephanie walked out of the ballroom. "Okay, if I were Matthew where would I be? Maybe he's at the stables." she thought to herself. Then she left. She walked down to the stables. She saw that the only horses there were the knight's, the carriage ones, and her own. Matthew's horse was gone.

"I guess I'll go to my bedchamber." she thought to herself. Thought she still couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong.

Stephanie was in her room pacing. Something was wrong, she felt it.

Where was Matthew? Suddenly the door bursts open. It was Jason out of breath.

"What's wrong, Jason?" she asked.

"Your highness it's--" he was cut off by the door bursting open again. It hit Jason slamming him against the wall. Stephanie was about to approach him to help him, but stopped when she saw who was standing at the door. It was Prince Draco.

"Draco." she said a little taken aback. Jason stood up, Stephanie gave him the motion to leave, though he did it reluctantly.

"Ah yes indeed it is my princess Stephanie." he said with an evil grin. Stephanie walked back a few steps.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I've come to claim my prize." Then he approached Stephanie before she had time to blink. He grabbed her and pulled her into an overly passionate kiss. Stephanie immediately tried to pull away. But he had too strong of a grip. Finally, she got the strength to shove him off.
