' this is idiocy ' was the only thought running through prince Cole, heir to the thrown of Hibens, mind. He watched as princess after princess entered his castle, all for the same reason, to become queen of hiben of course. That's what all of them wanted, to be chosen by prince Cole to be his bride. Expect he wasn't interested, they were all to boring and proper for him, he didn't want to be doing this.

Now there were other perks to marrying prince Cole of hiben, he was tall with tan skin and black hair, he had dark brown eyes that they say you could get lost in. Overall he was handsome, and all the girls every where wanted him, but he didn't want them. He found no interest in the thought of a bride, the thought of a queen or even the thought of ruling the kingdom.

Cole was an only child so of course he would inherit the thrown as soon as he found himself a queen, his father was starting to doubt that he would with all the offers he was rejecting. Princess after princess he would reject, sometimes without reason. He would just wave them off and tell them to go home, not rudely just exhaustedly, his father kept making him meet more and more and he just wanted it to stop.

One day, as more princesses flooded into his castle he decided to sneak away. While no one was looking the prince slipped out of the room and started to walk around the castle, he wasn't sure where to go only that he had to get away from there. Suddenly he smelt something in the air, it smelled sweet and delicious. He sniffed the air again before realizing what it was, fresh baked pastries.

Cole looked around, he realized it must have been from the kitchen nearby. Maybe he could sneak a bite while the cook wasn't looking, he had done it as a child so it couldn't be that hard right? He walked towards the kitchen, the smell getting stronger as he got closer.

When he got to the kitchen door he opened it a crack and looked around to see if the cook was still near, he saw no one. The prince slowly opened the door, trying to make sure it didn't make a sound and luckily since this was a castle the doors were well oiled.

The prince slowly and silently stepped into the kitchen, looking around once more to make sure the cook was no where near. Once he was satisfied he made his way to the table, he could could see the steam coming off the fresh baked pastries. Pies, cookies, tarts and more, he decided it would be easiest to take a cookie. Cole reached his hand down to take one of the fresh baked cookies.

' SMACK '

Cole pulled his hand back with a small hiss of pain, he looked to the side and saw a boy about his age standing there with a wooden spoon. The boy obviously wasn't the chef, but he was wearing the outfit of a cook, he also had short red curly hair. ' must be one of those kitchen boys' the prince thought, kitchen boys and kitchen girls just helped the cook and cleaned the kitchen. The boy was frowning and still held the wooden spoon.

" did you just hit my hand with a wooden spoon?" Prince Cole asked, the surprise evident in his voice. He narrowed his eyes at the kitchen boy, no one would date disrespect him like that.

" yes I did" the boy responded " and I'll do it again if you try that again" he said, narrowing his eyes right back at Cole. The boy was told not to let anyone steal the freshly baked pastries, and he was going to keep his promise to the cook.

Cole gave him a look of disbelief " do you know who I am" he frowned, still holding his hand that now had a red mark on it. ' this boy doesn't know who he is messing ' he thought

" not really, and I don't really care " the red head replied, now full out glaring at the prince. It was fair that he didn't know who Cole was since the prince was in rather regular cloths and not wearing his crown. ' who cares who he is, he can't just come in here and take the cookies' the boy thought to himself

" I'm prince Cole, heir to the thrown of hiben" the black haired boy said with a slight smirk, he expected to red head to apologize profoundly and beg for forgiveness. Which is what most servants would do, but not this one.

" well your highness" the curly haired boy started " hands off the cookies" he waved the wooden spoon around, still frowning at the prince. He didn't really care if he was the prince, no one was supposed to take these and he wasn't an exception. He huffed and waved the wooden spoon again, prepared to hit his hand if he tried for the cookie.

The disbelief was evident of Coles face, the red head now knew who he was and didn't care? But honestly, it didn't make him mad, it made excited. He didn't understand why but he liked it, this boy wasn't boring and proper like everyone else. Like the princesses, like the rest of the castle staff members.

" so you don't care? You don't care that you just hit the future king with a wooden spoon?" Cole asked, to clarify what the boy meant. He was oddly excited for the boys answer even if he didn't really understand why.

" yes. And I would do it again" the redhead replied, crossing his arms. If he ever wanted to move up in this world he had to follow the orders of the chef, and that was to make sure no one stole the pastries. He looked at the princes face, reading expressions was never one of his strong points and today was no exception.

Cole just stared at the boy for a moment before smiling widely " what's your name?" He asked, he could see the surprise on the boys face. ' this could be fun' he thought, someone who didn't care about who he was or who his family was for that matter.

" Silas " the redhead replied " Silas Consen " he added the last name, he wasn't sure why the prince wanted it but at the same time he didn't really care. He continued to stare at the princes grinning face, what exactly was he thinking?

" well Silas, do you want to-" Cole started but was cut off by a yell from the hallway

" COLE! You have to meet these princesses, where are you!" That would be Coles father. He was bent on making his son marry one of the princesses and he wasn't going to let him out of it that easy.

Cole groaned and looked at Silas ' another time' he thought " well I'll see you around kitchen boy" he grinned and with that, ran out of the kitchen.
