Thank you cw5523729 for editing my story :)
This story is a spin off of my original story/series (Love Comes Second). It is not in the same genre of stories, but they are related so there may be some places/scenes where the genres overlap. This series will be from the perspectives of the two servants, Luke and Mary.

Chapter I
Mary
I have been on the road with my friend and princess, Jade, for about a week now. Today is no different regarding our morning routine. I help her get dressed then we walk out to eat before we get back on the road. But this morning, we see that the men we have traveled with are packing our things. They have let Princess Jade and I have a bit more sleep since today we will be meeting the prince Jade is to marry.
We eat quickly, Jade is very eager to meet her new husband.
Since I have yet to learn to ride horseback, I climb behind Jade on her horse, Dream. We stay in the middle of our party as we ride towards castle Lunarsun.
We ride through the gates to the beautiful castle and stop a few yards from where the royal family is waiting. I get off the horse first, then Jade's father helps her off as well. I step away and my eyes are instantly brought up to meet the eyes of another servant's. I immediately feel my chest glow with warmth and I smile at him. He smiles back and my stomach flutters.
His body is skinny but toned, and it shows through his somewhat tight clothing. He has jet black hair that is almost too long, but not quite. He has beautiful hazel eyes and tan skin. He's at least a whole head taller than I, if not more.
I smile wide and curtsy as he bows.
I have short golden hair and big brown eyes. My bust isn't the biggest I've seen, but certainly not the smallest; they're a little less than a handful. Though, what I lack in breast, I make up for in butt. I have a round and bubbly butt that's too big to be held in one hand. I'm very short and quite pale, and I'm about average weight.
A man dressed in subtle cloths comes forward to announce our names.
"May I present, King Theodore, Queen Laura, Prince Braeden, and Princess Jade of throne Solace." He pauses for a few seconds for us all to bow and curtsy before continuing, "King Jeffery, Queen Anne, and Prince Douglas of throne Lunarsoun." We all bow and curtsy again before stepping forward.
The royals talk amongst themselves, which leaves this handsome man and I on the outskirts of their conversation. I smile and hold out my hand, "Hi, my name's Mary."
"Nice to meet you, Mary. I'm Luke," he replies with a dazzling smile. I blush slightly.
Soon the royals are walking towards the castle, so Luke and I split up to go to walk beside the prince and princess.
As the day goes on, the prince gives a tour of the castle we will be living in. The castle is way bigger than the castle we lived in before.
At the end of the day, we are all shown to our rooms. I help Princess Jade bathe, and then we both climb into the big bed. Jade talks about the prince while I think about his servant, Luke.
Her face gets serious all of a sudden, "I'm scared about our wedding night, my loyal friend. Do you think... it... will hurt?" she asks.
"I would not know, my lady. For your sake, I hope not," I reply, petting her cheek softly. She gets a concerned look on her face, but then closes her eyes. We drift off to sleep not long after that, holding each other close for warmth.

Luke
After I help the prince get bathed and into bed, I go back to my room. I lay down, staring up at the ceiling, and think about Mary. She looked so kind and beautiful, I hope I can find some time alone with her soon. Maybe after Princess Jade starts sleeping in Prince Douglas's room with him, when they're married.
I fall asleep with the thought of Mary in the back of my mind.
The following days are quite chaotic. More guests are arriving and last minute details are being finished.
The night before the wedding, the bride and the groom are getting the last of the fitting done for their wedding attire. I walk into the prince's room and hold back a laugh; he looks horribly uncomfortable.
The jacket is red with silver buttons and the pants are white as the clouds, this paired with black boots seem to be way too tight fitting. But apparently that's how it should look.
"You look like you're not enjoying yourself," I tease, coming into the prince's room unannounced.
"I'd like you to try these clothes on, and then see if you'd tease," he replies, smiling.
"Are you almost through?" I ask the seamstress politely.
