mindcracklove | Royal Chpt. 7: Making A Decision

Some decisions in life are really hard to make

Kurt stood in his chambers, in front of his full body mirror, staring at his reflection.

He had on his fancy tuxedo and his hair had been done by one of his maids.

Appearance wise, he was ready. Physically and mentally he wasn't. He was exhausted, his nerves frayed. He had been up almost all night last night, unable to sleep, worry and sadness plaguing him.

He heard a knock on his door and he told the person to enter.

"It's time, your majesty"

He nods and they lead him through the castle and to the ball room, which had been transformed into an elegant wedding setup.

Kurt took his place at the end of the isle, awaiting his bride to be.

Princess Isabelle made her way down the isle, looking elegant in her white, luxurious, wedding dress.

She reached the end and Kurt took her gloved hands in his, while the priest started his speech.

The whole while, Kurt's heart was racing and his thoughts running wild.

Kurt didn't want this. He didn't want to be king. He didn't want a wife. He didn't want to run a kingdom.

"Kurt J Mac, do you take Isabelle Manoya to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked, looking at Kurt intently.

Kurt's mind raced as he tried to find an answer, every worry that had been plaguing him, coming back, lacing his mind with worry and sadness.

"I... I can't do this" Kurt said, just loud enough for some of the audience to hear.

Kurt dropped Isabelle's hands and ran from the room, tears starting to run down his face.

He closed the doors to his chambers behind him before collapsing on his bed.

Kurt heard muffled foot steps then his door being opened.

"Son, what do you think your doing! you have to go back there and marry her." The former kings voice booms through the room, his face laced with anger.

"I can't do this dad. I can't. I don't want to be king. I don't to marry her. I'm already in love with someone" Kurt replies, any formality he'd ever known slipping from his mind.

"Already in love?"

"Back home. My boyfriend."

"You know that's not allowed! you know how disapproving I am of that"

"I can't change who I am dad! I'm in love with a guy and there's nothing you can do about it."

"If you don't want to be king that badly, then leave! go back to your so called boyfriend"

Kurt felt like he had been stabbed in the heart. His dad despised him.

Kurt wasn't fit to be king. He wasn't fit to be part of a royal family. He wasn't fit for any of this.

"I will leave! I've always found that place more like home then here!"

Kurt ran from the room, not looking back.

He made it to the portal and took one last look at the kingdom he'd grown up in, the place he was destined to rule and stepped through the bubbly purple portal, with no regret.
