There were many people who desired all sorts of wealth, fame and money and were ever rarely satisfied with things in their life except for you. You weren't a high born royal but you didn't mind, you wouldn't want to become one anyways. Always sleeping in fear wondering who would assassinate you or poison you for the throne or backstab you. Life in the palace wasn't always that great, people there have masks and hide their true identities. You belonged to a kingdom called Westshire, ruled by a fair, kind and just emperor Arthur Weasley along with his kind hearted wife, Empress Molly Weasley. They had a total of 7 children in all, Bill Weasley looking after the finances of the empire, Charlie Weasley an expert at treating humans and animals alike with his wondrous magic that people from the other kingdoms used to come to him for their treatment. Percy Weasley looked after the internal affairs of the kingdom and solved disputes amongst the locals. He was also a learnt scholar and spread his vast knowledge about Astronomy, Arithmancy, Medicine far and wide. Fred and George Weasley, the twins of the royal Weasley clan, didn't really bother taking their duties too seriously. They weren't even in line to inherit the throne so they preferred to live their lives on their own terms and they were quite the jesters indeed. Just recently they started performing splendid tricks at the Forum

Ron Weasley, the youngest son of the Weasley clan was aspiring to be a knight in his father's army, a battalion of some of the bravest men you'd have ever known. His dream was to embark on a glorious quest one day and return home making his parents and the rest of his empire proud. He also had a fondness of food and would often stop by your bakery to try out the newest pastries you've baked. You both have become quite good friends. The last Weasley child was a princess. Determined, strong and kindhearted. She could wield a sword and move her paintbrush on a canvas with such ease, like water flowing from a container. Ginny Weasley, the princess of the kingdom was like no other princess you've heard of. She was fierce and kind hearted and loved by all. You've only recently known about them since you were new and you opened a bakery only a few months ago

You planned on making enough money from your bakery so you could go off on an adventure to other places. As a kid you've always loved the tales of how the brave hearted heroes and heroines embarked on quests, you've also wanted to do that but unfortunately your parents didn't seem that enthusiastic about your approach in life. It wasn't that they didn't entirely support your decision nor did they restrict your freedom but they were just concerned for you. They didn't want anything happening to their only daughter after all. It was just a regular day for you at the bakery, people loved the pastries you've made and business was booming as usual. That was until an announcement was made that Princes Fred and George Weasley were visiting the town and that surprised you. You were putting away some of your stuff when suddenly the shop bell chimed and the doors opened. You looked up and saw none other than the Princes standing in front of you as your eyes widened in surprise

"Ooh Prince Fred and Prince George, is there anything I can get for you?" you bowed down in respect but Fred replied "How about you drop the whole 'your highness' and 'prince' nonsense all right daring and call us Fred and George?'' and you flushed and squeaked "Yes your highness, I-I mean Fred. Oh this might take some time to get used to'' you muttered nervously and they both exchanged a fond look amongst themselves and George replied "Well take all the time you need. So, what are your specials for the day?" and you told them about the specials for the day in your bakery and they replied "All right then, we'll have the chocolate mousse that you made today, along with the red velvet cupcakes, 10 of them and a packet of your special lemon cookies. Our brother is very fond of them'' said Fred and George replied "That's because he spends most of his time in either the kitchens or at your bakery. I must admit I'm a bit disappointed and hurt he hasn't mentioned someone rather cute like you works here'' and you blushed again as you were finishing packing the things requested by the princes

You handed it to them and they thanked you as Fred spoke "We most certainly will be coming back here that's for sure'' and George said he couldn't wait for the next time they'd come back here. Fred and George went around the city and of course Zonko's joke shop, their favorite shop since they could get all the stuff required for their pranks from there. "So, what did you think about that girl from the bakery?" asked Fred and George replied "She's very fine. Although I wonder why you're asking? Don't tell me you already have a thing for her'' and he snickered as Fred turned red and snarked back "Oh shut up, don't pretend like you weren't blushing till your face was as red a tomato. I wouldn't be surprised if you were drooling all over her already'' and they both continued to bicker and banter with each other for a few minutes. "If I should be completely honest she does seem interesting...'' muttered Fred as they went back to the palace

"So how was the tour of the city? Or should I say Zonko's?" asked Ginny and stared at her brothers with her arms crossed. "What do you mean? We did go around the city to make sure everyone was safe and happy'' said Fred innocently and Ginny narrowed her eyes at them and replied "Oh really? Then have you figured out a solution for the problem at Cesterfield?'' "Yeah we have.... I think...'' muttered George and when she raised her eyebrows in question, they withered under her gaze as she sighed and replied "You both have no idea about it do you? Well, to refresh your memories, the dam there has to be reconstructed and the Prince from the neighboring kingdom of Sarbury is going to come to help us construct it. I do hope you haven't spent all day at Zonkos' and visiting that bakery near Madam Malkins shop'' and they looked at her in surprise. "Sometimes being a princess does have it's benefits and I can already tell you both have a thing for her since you're more dazed than usual'' which earned indignant protests from them. "Get ready, court is about to start'' she said and went off

During the entire time when decisions were taking place, the two of them were thinking about the same thing: You and your bakery. How it radiated warmth like the air itself was hugging them, the wonderfully delicious smells lingering in the atmosphere, it provided a comfy homely feeling. The way your hair flowed across your shoulders, apron tied around your waist as you did everything in your power to make people happy. They wondered if your secret ingredient was love since your food tasted quite good indeed. They longed to come back to your shop once more. They weren't even listening to when their father was either deciding the fates of the wrongdoers or when the announcement was being made when Prince Axel from the Sarbury empire would be arriving to the kingdom. Their thoughts mainly comprised of you

The next time they met you was not at your bakery but when they were at the forest collecting some herbs and plants for working on one of their new pranks, they came across you making a spear for yourself. They were amazed and when they approached you, you bowed down to them and spoke "Greetings your highnesses. I-I mean Fred and George'' and Fred spoke "Now what does a cute little thing like you want with a spear? I'm pretty sure you don't use spears in baking unless the bread is too hard'' joked Fred as you smiled softly and replied "No, I'm actually preparing to go on an adventure'' "Aren't you going to get married though?" asked George and you waved your hand in dismissal and answered "I've never really been fond of marriage. I like being in the great outdoors, the rush of adrenaline you get when you're exploring things you've never seen before along with the freedom and independence. Your brother Ronald is looking for a quest I hear? If he decides to take someone with him I'd be honored to go, it's been my dream to go on an adventure you know?" and for a few moments there was a silence amongst the three of you after you said that sentence

You going on an adventure? That most certainly can NOT happen! You're too fragile and delicate to go on one even if you view yourself as a warrior! You'd have to stop at various inns when you get tired and there will be plenty of filthy scumbags who'd undress you with their eyes, thinking all sorts of bad and negative things about you. A girl like you deserves a comfortable life with them, so they invited you to spend some time with them at the palace for a few days so you can get better acquainted with their family and then they'll propose the idea of marriage to you which you'll HAVE to accept. You agreed and you were now a guest at the royal palace. You were treated really well and you'd dine with the rest of the clan. Arthur was quite interested in the day to day activities you'd do and Molly was very hospitable with you, making sure you were comfortable. You became friends with Ginny Weasley and Ronald Weasley and were very friendly to be around with. Although you didn't know why your new friends Fred and George didn't really like it when you talked to the other guards, so whenever they'd be around they'll either death glare them in which case the poor schmuck will lower their heads and scurry off to doing something else. They'll then be transferred somewhere else where they won't be able to interact with you anymore

The truth was they were falling for you pretty quick. They loved the way you smiled, it was like you were spreading joy and happiness all around. You radiated a homely and warm feeling, there was just something about you that made them want to hug you and never let you go. They were developing a feeling of obsession for you which they claimed as love. Their so called love for you was getting deeper and spiraling out of control every day which you had no idea about. Prince Axel was coming to Westshire today and tomorrow would be the day you'd be leaving for your adventure. You decided to tell everyone about it later since you didn't feel like it was the right time to disclose the information just yet

Prince Axel had a notorious reputation of being a huge 'flirt' with the ladies of his kingdom. It wasn't like he was a bad man, he just spent too much of his time courting women. So Fred and George weren't really that pleased nor keen when they heard of his arrival. Even though it was merely a diplomatic alliance between his kingdom and theirs and he was just here to contribute to building the dam near Cesterfield, they didn't want him being even an INCH near you at all. However their wishes were unfulfilled when you met him and he kissed your hand in greeting. "Greetings fair maiden. The brightness of your eyes would put all the stars to shame, I would love to get mesmerized in your eyes for all eternity'' and you couldn't help but blush as Fred and George tightened their grip as their hands moved towards the hilts of their swords. Their mother saw this but didn't say anything at the moment as she pursed her lips and continued to watch the proceedings of Prince Axel receiving a warm welcome from everyone at the palace. Although she had a feeling her sons had something for you which she made a mental note to ask them about later

After he was received with great pomp and show, Arthur suggested that Axel head up to the guest chamber where he could rest for a while and then join the rest of them for dinner which he agreed. When Axel passed by you, he smiled at you and the twins felt like slapping his smile off his stupid face. They weren't dumb, they could easily tell he was courting you! You spent some time at the palace library and during the evening you went to the royal garden where you hummed to yourself and just stared at your surroundings. You were going to miss the place, that was sure. Just then you felt a presence and when you turned back, you saw Prince Axel standing near you and he spoke "The twilight looks magical doesn't it?" and you nodded but didn't say anything. "I didn't catch your name earlier, forgive my tardiness'' he bowed down and you replied "Oh, no need to worry. You don't have to bow down I'm not a royal and my name is Y/N L/N'' and he spoke "I don't mind whether or not you're a royal. You sure do look like one though. Y/N.... a lovely name for a lovely woman like you'' and you thanked him as you both engaged in conversation with each other

Fred and George were coming to the royal gardens with some blankets and food so they could have a picnic with you when they saw you and him talking with each other. Moreover you were laughing at something he said and when you were about to lose your balance, he caught you by the arm and spoke "Careful now'' and you thanked him for catching you in time. Fred and George saw all this with jealousy boiling inside them. They couldn't STAND the sight they were seeing which was why they came towards you both with fake smiles as they greeted Prince Axel. "We've heard a lot about your fine swordsmanship. Why not have a little game with us in sword fighting?'' and said George and Axel agreed. Fred and George whipped out their swords and they battled with him with such ferocity, you wondered if they were going to kill him for real. Fred and George however were fighting only for one cause, YOU. They wanted to prove you that they were strong and capable of protecting you so you could rely on them. They also wanted to make sure you knew that they were the only men worthy of being your husbands. Not some other random man who would just take advantage of you

Fred managed to knock Axel's sword to the ground and he placed his sword at his neck and Axel spoke "Wow... you both are good at fighting. Quite formidable in combat'' and Fred internally debated whether or not to end the pest once and for all here but he couldn't do so since their mother asked them to head to the dining room for dinner. "You can go ahead dear, I'd like to have a word with my sons in private'' Molly smiled as you nodded and took your leave. "So, what was that about?'' she asked them as they went to their father's chamber where Arthur, Bill, Charlie, Ron and Percy were looking at some maps. "Nothing really'' said Fred innocently and she glared at them. "They fancy Y/N mum, that's why they're acting like lovesick fools in love. They way they follow her around, it's honestly pathetic, I could either laugh or cry or just throw up'' said Ginny as she entered the room. "HEY! WATCH IT!'' snapped George indignantly and Arthur raised his hand in silence. "I must admit she is rather friendly and nice'' smiled Bill and Charlie nodded and added "She sure is. Why, just the other day she offered me help in crushing some herbs. She is quite helpful'' "And also knowledgeable. It's nice to have someone to discuss about great literature with'' said Percy and Ron spoke "She's come to me the other day and told her she's looking for an adventure. I was wondering if I do go somewhere for a quest one day I would surely take her with me'' and that's when Fred snapped at him. "No you most certainly will not!" as Ron looked confused

"Y/N doesn't know how dangerous it is being an adventurer, she could get hurt'' said Fred and Ron spoke "Sounds like you both are in love with her'' and smirked. "Fine, we are. Happy? Father, I know she's not of royal descent but we love her with all our hearts. The very reason we invited her to the palace is for you to see for yourselves how charming she is. You can arrest us if you want for loving a baker but we'll still love her no matter what'' said George. Arthur smiled at them and spoke "No one will get arrested for anything. Not to worry, Y/N is a fine person. I do not mind if she's a baker. You both love her with your hearts. Will you treat her right?" he asked them with a serious expression. "Of course we will father'' nodded Fred and he smiled at them and replied "I give you permission for you to make her a part of our family'' and their eyes widened in surprise. "Wait... as in..'' drawled Fred and Molly smiled. "You have our blessings to marry her'' and their hearts almost burst with excitement. It looked like all their hard work of threatening the guys too close to you finally paid off

They all soon headed to the dining hall for the dinner and that's when you decided to spring on the announcement that you'd be heading the next day for your adventure. The entire room went still and it was like time had stopped. "But why dear? Stay with us, we enjoy your company'' pleaded Molly and you shook your head and replied "Thank you, your majesty but I've put off my dream for too long now. I really must get going tomorrow'' "Where are you going though?'' asked Ron and you replied "I'll be heading to Sarbury to explore the Stoneholm mountains. Prince Axel here referred me to some people I could talk with and wrote a letter of introduction so I can embark on my journey'' Of course. Leave it to that jerk to steal you for himself. Fred and George didn't like this one bit. After dinner was done, they felt like they needed you to do something in order to make sure you stay with them for good. Molly who wasn't really keen on letting you go off for a dangerous adventure like this handed them some herbs to make you sleep. Fred, George and you spent some time with each other and they handed you a glass of sparkling apple cider to drink mixed with those herbs. You were out like a light soon enough and you were taken to their chambers to rest for the night while Prince Axel was mysteriously poisoned

The next day, you woke up in the evening and you realized with a start that you were supposed to start your journey in the morning to Sarbury. You quickly got out of bed and you wondered why you were in Prince Fred and George's room but there was no time to dwell on that matter, you had to get going. You tried to open the door but it was bolted shut from the outside. You yelled for someone till princes Fred and George arrived. "Oh thank heavens you've arrived. I need to collect my things and say goodbye to my parents before I head to Sarbury'' and they just smiled at you. "But darling, you're going to be our bride, why do you have to stress yourself out before our wedding?" and you froze in your tracks. "What do you mean?" you asked them slowly and they explained how they've fallen in love with you and they wanted you to stay with them. "As much as I am flattered I do need going, please excuse me'' you said as you tried to leave but Fred caught you by the arm and pulled you closer to them. "You won't be leaving us anytime soon Y/N, we love you and we won't let you go'' said George and you looked at them in horror. What had you got yourself into? You needed to find the king and tell them about their behavior and get out of here
