One day, Prince Kurt was sitting alone in the throne room hearing the public’s complaints and noting them to be fixed later. He enjoyed ruling and loved his people dearly, but he was lonely and sometimes when he would stay up at night and listen to the lovers rendevousing in the garden and he would grow wistful. He believed in love, but didn’t allow himself to hope that it would find him. 

The day was growing late and Kurt made the motion to his valet that the next person would be the last he would see for the day and in hindsight he would thank his conscious’ decision to take one more hearing. For on this day, instead of another townsperson, a regally dressed man, not older than the Prince entered the court. He had a dapper air around him and when they made eye contact, Prince Kurt felt his heart skip. The gorgeous looking man with the perfectly curled hair, dazzling smile and warm hazel eyes dropped ceremoniously to his knees and addressed the young Prince without any ado. 

“Hello Dear Prince, I am Duke Blaine, Crown Prince of Anderville and though our kingdoms are neighborly and I have been here at your court often, we have never met. And yet, you sweet Prince, have stolen my heart and I yearn for the days when my father sends me here and I can hope to capture a glimpse of your sweet smile. And after months of pining I have convinced myself to do something about all of this, and thats why I am here before you, to beg you to put me out of my misery. I love you, my prince, and I will do anything, be anything you ask of me, as long as I can stay here in your company forever.”

The conclusion of his speech found the Young Prince Kurt in tears as he stared disbelievingly at the man in front of him. Of course he knew who he was, he had recognized him at once. He always found reasons to be around the council room whenever young Prince Blaine was here at court, and after such an admission, Kurt simply could not believe that this glorious being felt even a fraction of what Kurt felt for him. 

Keeping his eyes locked with Prince Blaine’s, Kurt wordlessly nodded and moved to bring their lips together in a simple yet breathtaking kiss. 

The story of Young Prince Blaine’s bold admission at court on his knees before Prince Kurt and everyone was still a favorite bedtime story for the children of the lands of Anderville and Hudmelton. And with two benevolent Kings who ruled wisely and with love, it was easy to see how everyone lived happily ever after.
