His Royal Highness Prince Alfred of the Kingdom of Britannia stormed through the hallways of the palace like the hounds of hell itself were on his heel and wore a dark scowl to match. Members of the palace's staff and the Court alike scattered at his approach and in his wake quickly gathered together in their respective groups to chatter and gossip excitedly amongst themselves about not only the Prince's obviously foul mood but his very presence as well

"Is he in his study, Francis?" he asked sharply as Francis reached him and already had half an arm around his shoulder. He felt bad for being so cold but he had no choice for the moment maybe later his father would allow them to spend a bit of time together before sending him packing

I really like this so far, an hope to see more in the future! You've set up an intriguing start, and I can't wait to see how Alfred and Ivan interact with one another.
One thing though--There are a few odd turns of phrases in this that make the story harder to understand as well as a few grammar mistakes.
Looking forward to more~!
capcha: political blockade. Well, that's what Alfred is trying to do, capcha!

His father looked much the same as he had five years earlier, perhaps a few more creases but he certainly didn't look like he'd lost much sleep over his son's disappearance. Nor over the fact that he was preparing to sign his other son away like he was a piece of property. "There will be no contract signing today, Arthur," he said darkly using his father's name as a weapon

Alfred felt that jab lace through his heart. Did his father really hate him so much that he would take back the second most important thing he'd ever given to him. "I'm not here to discuss me," he said tightly. "I'm here about Matthew, the son that hasn't done nothing but disappoint you since you took him in. The one that still champions your cause in every letter and takes your side in all matters. The one that you repay that loyalty by forcing him to chain himself for the rest of his life to some barbarian king from the North

Alfred flinched at that reminder. He glanced at his father again, there had been no malice in his tone or in his face despite the bluntness of the words. If anything there seemed to be guilt lingering around the edges of his eyes, like he was sorry he had to bring up that touchy subject in front of Alfred at all

"That doesn't really answer my question." Alfred said. He leaned back against the desk and pinned the King with an expectant look. He was playing a dangerous game being so direct with this man but couldn't back down now even if he wanted to

He had made that promise all those years ago and he'd remembered it. He'd just been so outraged over what his father was doing to his brother that he hadn't given much thought to the full implication of it as he rushed back home to stop the arrangement from happening. But his father had thought about it all. His father had been playing manipulative games but they hadn't been meant for Matthew, Matthew was just the tool in which he'd used to put the real plans into motion. He'd set the trap and Alfred had stumbled right into it. He gasped for air as he felt the chains of this new prison winding up around him, his hard earned freedom slipping through his fingers

"Were you aware of this?" he asked sharply. "Did you know when you arrived here that you would be going home with a different...bride...then you were expecting

"You will not run from me, Little Prince," he said in that strange, thick accent of his. All traces of softness were gone from his face as they regarded each other. The King wasn't that much taller then Alfred was but he still had a size advantage on him in all other respects. And even if he didn't the expression on his face, the steeliness of his voice was enough to tell Alfred that this man was every bit as cold and hard as his reputation claimed he was. "I will come for you if you do...and I will not fail in finding you." He didn't voice the unspoken 'and you will not like what I do to you when I do find you.' He didn't need to

Oh this is getting better and better! Poor Arthur though... and I can't help but think that Ivan gets exactly what he wants (Alfred instead of Matthew)
Now the big question is whether or not Alfred will try to run anyway lol
