So many apologies to the Brothers Grimm and Disney.

River’s brothers talked of nothing but Prince Elkhart’s quest for his future consort and his trying all likely candidates. ‘It was a hard task the Prince had’ was often repeated in River’s hearing with fond laughter at his blushes.
Finished scrubbing the entry yet again, River stretched hoping that this time the floor would stay clean until it dried. Of course it didn’t, as the muddy booted Royal retinue arrived.
Bent over regarding what was left of the once pristine floor, River silently cursed his brothers’ plotting, as the Prince tried him on for size and found him just right.

Riding side-saddle in front of the Prince, River voiced his thoughts, “It’s not as if you’ll get any little princes or princesses out of me.”
Elkhart smiled pointing at himself, “fifth son of the King. My brothers will all be grateful of our non-production of heirs.”
“But we don’t even know each other,” River found himself whining.
“Again not a problem, your brothers sent in a resume with your likes, dislikes, accomplishments and,” Elkhart smirked, “your faults. We’ll have a long discrete engagement but I believe you might come to like me too. What’s not to like.”
River sighed, “modesty?”

?!Thwax encouraged me!?
It wasn’t as if Elkhart didn’t do things properly, River thought; there were the introductions to the parents and the obligatory chaste kiss on the lips which was really too bizarre since the Prince hadn’t been shy on their first fucking meeting. Then again, Elkhart was trying for discrete until they were officially a couple.
River was shown to his room conveniently near the Prince’s bed chamber. There was a discrete knocking on his door and a pompous little man with clipboard in hand entered.
“Prince Elkhart’s possible intended consort?” A check was made when River nodded. “This will not do at all at all. Follow me please.”
On opening the door to another room, “This is the Straw Room. Note the spinning wheel. Have all this spun into gold by the morning,” and the little man left locking the door behind him.
River got it done and he was going to talk to his brothers about them spilling about that particular hobby of his, right after he told Elkhart that their possibly discrete engagement was off. He didn’t need to relocate to a palace to play househusband hobbyist. He’d get right onto doing that, he thought yawning, but first there was a bed calling his name.
