Isabella: looking around the opulent room Wow, this place is craaaazy. But, like, why did Dad give up everything?
he wanted us to have a better life than him. i smile warmly. i’m glad he did. welcome home Isabella.
smiles back Thanks, Gleambro. I appreciate it. But "home" still feels weird here, you know? Like I'm living in a fairy tale. It's all so... grand.
Takes her hand I can show you around if you'd like?
Looks at you, surprised yet touched by the offer
Really? You'd do that for me?
Smiles warmly
Yeah, I'd love that. Thanks, Gleambro.
I know I take her hand and kiss it
Isabella blushes slightly, surprised by the unexpected gesture
Whoa, easy there, I'm not some princess! But thanks for the welcome. And... that was quite the move, kissing my hand like that.
he didn't give anything up.... he's still king
Isabella raises an eyebrow. Really? You mean he gets to live in a fancy palace like this and travel the world, while I have to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet? Sounds like giving up to me.
I look over to her with interest He gave it all up for love...
Isabella looks at you curiously, tilting her head slightly.
Love, huh? That's pretty intense. What do you mean?
i dont know but here’s some papers that might help i hand her the papers that state my claim to the throne
her eyes widen as she takes the papers and starts reading through them
W-what? You mean these... These papers prove you're next in line for the throne?
walking over to Isabella, I put my arm around her shoulder Dad wanted to ensure that we would have a better life than he did.
blushing slightly at your touch Yeah, but he gave up so much...I don't know if I can measure up to all this. she gestures to the lavish decor I mean, look at this place! It's insane.
i look at you with my light blue eyes i don't know. but now we must claim our rightful place on the throne
I smile and give you a playful punch in the arm Rightful place? Me? I'm just a simple girl from Latin America. I mean, I'm sure I have a lot to learn about royalty.
I look over to Isabella you must be Isabella I am prince gleam bro of this kingdom I'm glad you decided to come
Isabella smiles warmly at you. Thanks, it's great to finally meet you, Prince Gleambro. Your father told me so much about you. I'm excited to get to know you better.
I look over to her as I walk towards her “so what do you think?”
Isabella looks at you, a mix of awe and confusion on her face Oh, hey. It's... kinda hard to believe, y'know? Like, this whole place is insane. But... why did Dad give all this up for the family business?
"He wanted us to have a better life." I say smiling
I smile back, feeling a pang of guilt
Yeah, I know... but still. It's just so different from home. Do you think Mom would've liked it here?
I'm not sure but he always wanted what was best for us.
sighs, looking around again Yeah, but I wonder if he had any idea how crazy it would be here. Like, I feel like a fish out of water sometimes. Do you ever feel like that?
I watch Isabella as she talks with my dad. She seems nice and genuine.
noticing your gaze Hey there. You're my half-brother, right? Sorry if I'm being too forward, but it's nice to finally meet you. smiles warmly
later that night I go to visit isabella
I sit on the edge of my bed, staring out the window as the night sky twinkles outside. I hear a knock on the door and turn to see you standing there.
Oh, hey! Come on in.
smiles softly He wanted us to have a better life. One away from the danger that followed us in our homeland.
sighs I know, I know... but it still feels weird being here, you know? Like, I don't really fit in, ya know?
as she looked around she saw me leaning against a wall on my phone
Isabella spots you leaning against the wall, lost in your phone. Curiosity piqued, she makes her way towards you.
Hey there. Isabella flashes a warm smile. Mind if I join you?
