Raven Falls
She was young, reserved and a complete book lover. A rather curvy girl with hazel eyes. He was strange with an always bored look but had an unnatural glint. You could say he was inhumanly beautiful with a perfect set of blue eyes. . . . "I'm not interested in whatever pledge father had with the Gregory's. I will not marry that girl mother" He barks angrily as he stomps toward the foyer. "Besides I heard she has the most boring set of hazel eyes" He adds as he mentally face palms at such a weak excuse. "Alex you have to do this, not for yourself but for your father.. - the kingdom" his mother pleads as she tries to catch up with him. "How would the kingdom look at a king who cannot honour a pledge" she says. He groans furiously this was a waste of time. Alexander freezes midway as a foreign memory flashes through his mind. He wasn't even interested in hazel eyes
