Yes it maybe a long three years!Part 5
Max walked into the family's private dinning room to find both his sisters and cousin Michael already there. He also noticed that both of the boys that arrived a week ago with Liz were also there. He heard the girl long before she entered the dinning room.
"I'M GOING! GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF ME!"
Max just looked at his cousin knowing he would have his hands full with her. Just then a short blond walked in looking very unhappy. He saw no sign of Liz and knew that would cause her trouble. He walked over to his younger sister.
"Rena where is Liz? She is coming right?" Asked Max
"I don't know. She really is unhappy." Said Serena
Just then Max saw his parents enter the room. His father looked around and noticed Liz was not there.
"Where is Elizabeth?" Asked Philip
"She is refusing to come father." Said Serena
"I will send someone to bring her. She was issued an order to come!" Said Philip
"Philip, let me try talking to the girl." Said Diane
"Fine, but if she doesn't come with you I will have her brought by force." Said Philip
Diane left and headed for Liz's room. She knocked softly on the door before opening it. She walked in to find the room dark. She could just make out the girl laying on the bed. She could hear her crying softly. She turned on the light and walked over to the girl. She sat down next to her and placed a gentle hand on her. Liz rolled over and looked at her.
"We haven't met yet. I am Queen Diane. I know your name is Elizabeth."
Liz just nodded.
"Honey, I know that you are very unhappy. But you really need to get dressed and come to dinner with me."
"No."
"My husband is not a patient man. He will send guards to drag you to dinner kicking and screaming."
"He can go to hell!"
"Elizabeth, this one of the times I share that settlement. But I know you want answers as to why you came to the palace rather then one of the schools that teach you about life on Antar."
"You could just tell me."
"Actually, I can't. I do know but if I say I can be placed under arrest for breaking an order from the King."
"Fine I will go. But no one can force me to eat."
"OK."
Diane helped Liz change and twenty minutes later both entered the dinning room. Max smiled and pulled out a chair out for Liz. Liz sat down and Diane took her seat.
"Now that everyone is here. I am going to tell you why you four have come to live in the palace. First off, my name is Philip, King of the Antarian Empire. This is my wife Diane, my nephew Michael, my son Maxwell, and my daughters Isabel and Serena." Said Philip pointing out each of them.
"Now the reason that each of you are here is that you were chosen to become the mates of my young family members. Now this will not happen for a while yet. With few exceptions no one not even a member of the Royal family can marry before their sixteenth birthday. Now the Earth calendar and ours do not match. So you each have been given a birth date that comes out to within a week of when your real one would be on Earth." Said Philip
"You're Highness I have a question." Said Alex
"Yes Alexander?"
"Not that I object to the idea of marrying a princess. But why us?" Asked Alex
"Well young man, each of you has something that will help my family members to grow and become stronger people. Now Maria, you have been chosen for Michael. He is to be the head of the army."
"Hell no! I will never marry him!" Yelled Maria
"Can't say I am any happier about this either pixie." Said Michael
"Pixie! You did not just call me a feakin' pixie!" Yelled Maria
"Now Kyle, you have been chosen for the younger of my two daughters Serena." Said Philip
"I look forward to getting to know you princess." Said Kyle smiling at Serena
"Me too." Said Serena softly
"Alexander, that leaves you with my older daughter Isabel, and Elizabeth, you have been paired with Maxwell."
"NO! I WON'T DO IT!" Yelled Liz
Liz got up from the table and ran off.
