Royal Time

Ugh

Frank had met eight more girls since Isabella. They haven’t gotten much better, but things were better than before. Frank had mostly the same routine with each girl, sometimes switch from the library to the garden or giving the lady a tour of the castle. He didn’t give tours very often unless he dreaded or liked the girl. If he dread the girl, it switched the subject and they had a conversion. But if he liked talking to a girl he’d give them a tour to be able to talk to them more and find out more about them. In the five years he has been meeting ladies he’s only given tours to ones he has liked six times. That’s hundreds of girls he’s meet and he was liked six. The ladies he has met recently have been decent but not enough.

Frank is down to three months left until his birthday. He doesn’t know what to do, honestly if he doesn’t find a fit girl he might pick Isabella or Katie, the fourth girl he met after Isabella. So Frank did what any good prince or king would do, he went to his council.
“Hello gentlemen. Who’s the lucky lady I get to meet next? Is there a girl?” Frank queried. “We have two ladies who are coming this week, but Ray had a wonderful idea,” George informed Frank. “Oh did you now Ray?”
“Yes, well you see Brunsville is having a ball, and I think it would be a great idea for you to go. Considering there will be many ladies there and if you get bored and don’t want to talk to a girl you have been, unlike here, you can walk away.” Frank thought Ray was a genius. He already did, but Frank loves a good party and meeting girls and then being able to leave was a great thing. Plus he could look at all the nice looking men there all dressed up.
“Wonderful!” Frank clapped, “When is the ball?” “In two weeks sir.”
Frank looks at the servant waiting at the door, “Will you find me my tailor, I need him for tomorrow so we can get my suit for the ball. Tell him it’s in two weeks and I need this. Thank you.” The servant runs off, and Frank smiles. This is going to be better than ever. No more routine of meeting a girl, it will be totally random. And he doesn’t have to talk to anyone if he does not want too. Frank thinks this is the best idea since... toilet paper. “Does my mother know about this yet?” “Not yet sir.” “Then I will tell her now, thank you gentlemen.” Frank heads off to find his mother. She really could be anywhere, so he asks the butler if he knows. “Yes my prince, she is at an interview in the city.” Frank thanks him and guesses he can wait, so he heads to the library.
The library is one of Frank’s favorite places in the castle, luckily there are three. But the smallest one is his favorite, it’s his hideout. To get away from all the stresses of being the person he is supposed to be. But the person he is supposed to be is not entirely him. Frank wishes he could just come out and say he likes men. But the problem is he is supposed to like women and make a heir. If he doesn’t who will rule the kingdom next? There’s so many pressures on how Frank will rule, and who he will marry, what will his first child be, what will there name be. Frank’s not even engaged and people are already naming his first child. Sometimes Frank thinks it’s too much. He doesn’t know how he is going to be able to do it. His mother always tells him “it’s stressful but when you find someone you love and they stick by you through everything. It will all be worth it. I fully believe in you son,” it’s hard to think you can’t. When your mother supports you fully and will be by your side, Frank doesn’t think he’ll need anyone else. But Frank is also not dumb and knows his mother is not going to be with him forever, and Frank needs to continue on the family line.
Frank has always wondered since he’s known he was gay, why it had to be him. Why did he have to be the first in his family to be gay. Frank doesn’t even know if he is going to be able to have children. Not that he couldn’t have children, but he would have to be thinking of a man while with his spouse. Now Frank knows this isn’t right, but he knows he will have to do what he has to do, no matter if it’s right or not. Who knows though he might actually fall in love with his wife and actually be able to make love to her. Frank thinks he might actually like that.
When Frank was halfway through his book, his mother came in the room. “I heard you were looking for me?” “Ah Mother yes. Ray and the council were telling me about a ball in Brunsville, and said it would be a good idea for me to go.” “That’s a brilliant idea, I would like to come with you if you don’t mind.” “Of course I wouldn’t mind. Now I now I’ll have great company on the journey there,” Frank walked over to his mother and gave her a kiss on her smooth cheek. “I cannot wait to see your beautiful gown. That always has been my favorite thing about going to balls with you. You always look beautiful, but when you wear gowns it makes me remember what an angel you are,” Frank smiles fondly. The queen, eyes watering, lifts her hand to gently caress Frank’s cheek. “I love you son. Why don’t you get ready for supper, hm?” “Yes Mother,” Frank exits the small library. Linda looks around fondly, knowing that this was her husband’s favorite place, just as it is her sons. The queen often wonders if she should tell her son this, but thinks she should wait until a special time.

Thank you! I'm writing more now. I have lots of ideas but I don't know where to fit them.

This is interesting. I'm looking forward to what else is in store.
