William's (Carter's) POV
"I do not know mother"
"I will ask Adeleine to converse with you in the morning" she said sternly taking a seat in her Golden chair as a servant placed her crown on her head.
"When do I have to take the throne?" I finally asked once the servant had left.
"Well this week ofcourse " she exclaimed in an obvious tone
"But I can not do that I just got back"
I protested
"Stop acting immature you have been trained to do this since birth"
"Okay" I finally gave up
"I have picked a list of brides for you" she smiled
And my heart throbbed. Oliver.
"I will not marry someone of your choice marriage is a life commitment!" I snapped .
"Your father and I were arranged" she muttered. And the mention of my father made me keep quiet. I still couldn't believe he had passed away.
"I would not do it I shan't marry anyone you choose" a few years ago I would have agreed but one feisty person was on my mind and I couldnt break her heart not like this.
"Tis already decided you ought to marry a duchess, an heiress or somebody titled and hold a stately wedding" she argued raising her royal chin.
"Tis my life I get to do what I want!"
"You think just because you got a little freedom from your father and attended that University you now have free will?"she questioned
"I am not going to say anything to disrespect you mother" I finally said after thinking through.
"You are a well born young man son , I shan't grant you permission to make youthly decisions that are not courtly"
"Nothing is going to change my mind"
"You need to keep decorous relations with the civilians as a King" she stated.
"Mother" I whispered.
"Act well bred William you are neither a plebeian nor are you barbaric"
"I will not marry mother!" I snapped harshly.
"You are so stubborn , coarse and you lack urbane" she said annoyed
"Thank you" I gave a toothy grin
"Then so be it! You are going to be an eternally single Haughty King"
"I am not haughty.What if my utmost desire is to wed someone of my choice"
"Do not test me William Harry if you are going to talk about that commoner you had a fling with do not even think twice about it"
How did she know?
"You are a prince I had to keep tabs on you and son she is not even debonair" she answered my question.
"I do not feel okay hence I shall see myself to my chambers now" I said standing up.
"You are not allowed to leave this palace until I am satisfied you are not going to follow that commoner and bring her to my home" she hissed.
"I am old enough to make my own decisions mother"
"Your life is top drawer I would not allow a royal mess to pass under my nose for the sake of your satisfaction"
"Whatever!" I harshly replied leaving the room.
"There is nothing gallant about your little stunt" my mother slightly raised her voice enough for me to hear as I left the room.
I had left her . The girl of my dreams. I already missed her. I was sad I hadn't gotten to say goodbye to her but life sucked that way.
I was taken aback when the royal crew came and picked me up with a jet after one of my lectures . I expected to come back...the last thing I expected was to go home to find out about my father's sudden death and how I had to take the throne.
It's not that I wasnt ready I just wanted time . More specifically I wanted more time with Oliver . She didnt even know my real name .
I felt bad and I knew when she saw me next she was going to kill me. I hoped to see her soon. What I didnt expect was palace grounding and condemnation to travel anywhere close to her. And when the queen had gave an order it just had to be followed.
I didnt like these complications. I was going to find her , claim her and make her my queen with or without my mother's blessing whenever I'd be granted permission to leave.
And I just hoped it wouldn't be long.
I wanted her .

Back to Oli
"Try the green peas?" My mother questioned. I was literally puking at the smell of everything.
"I want something yellow" I urged
"Eggs?" She asked and I suddenly felt like vomiting .
"No I need tea" I suggested
"But tea is not yellow" she laughed
"To me it is" I smiled
"Have you tried pickles?" She questioned
"I prefer Olives. I want olives" I whined
"You just said you wanted tea not a second ago" she complained
"I want olives and chocolate, white chocolate "
"What's wrong with black chocolate?"
"Its too sweet"
"White chocolate is sweeter " my mother protested
"So you mean I dont know what I'm saying?" I asked with watery eyes
"Oh no not again" my mother protested
I basically cry everything now . Somehow.
"I'm hungry and you keep laughing at me" I could feel the tears flowing
"And ... and you said i dont know what I'm saying" I sobbed.
And she hugged me.
"Its high time this baby got out now" she murmured
"...you ...mean you want me to give birth to a premature child" I cried even more. My emotions, I couldnt control them. And I felt like I was getting fat , instantly that made me cry.
"Oliver please" my mother pleaded.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"I feel heavy" I confessed during yoga to my instructor. Yes my mother paid for my yoga classes for pregnant women because apparently 'it helps the pelvis to widen during birth'her words not mine.
"You're not heavy it's just tummy weight" he smiled helping me with my splits.
"This is painful" I cried out
"Oliver" he complained
"I'm just saying" I whispered
You must be wondering where all the other women are. Well they're not yet here I usually come an hour earlier to get more exercise because if I dont then I'll become a potato.
Literally I enjoy sleeping more than all of this.
Speaking of the others they then arrived. Seeing a lot of pregnant women gave me joy despite how young I was compared to them. I knew I was going to be okay these women were great company.
"Oliver do me a favour" my instructor said after session.
"What?"
"When you give birth do bring your baby here I want to see it" he smiled
"Why?" I asked
"Because of all the pregnant women I've ever instructed you're very stressing which is probably due to the hormones"
"I am not troublesome" I protested and he chuckled. Peter wasnt bad looking contrary he looked good with his shaped body and all those abs but my stupid heart wasnt going to move soon.
"Just make sure you come with the baby" he smiled walking away.
"Will do Pete" I smiled leaving the gym.
*****"You're back soon" my mother complained
"You didnt want me here?" I asked laughing
"Not yet I'm not yet done making your green salad" she replied moving about in the kitchen
"I dont want that anymore I want orange juice and a pizza roll"
"You're getting bigger" she commented and I frowned looking down to my largely swollen stomach.
"And more boring" she continued
"I'm not boring"
"You're too picky"
"Im not I just have wild taste buds these days"
"Im going out now" my mother said taking her handbbag
"Where?" I asked
"To get your pizza roll" she replied and I felt all mushy inside
"You sure do love me don't you?" I smiled hugging her.
"You're going to crush me before I see my grandchild" she said breaking free of my hold"are you going to check for the sex of the child?" She asked out of nowhere
"I want it to be a surprise"
"Good then" she said leaving.
