Lillian
What the hell could they want? Hadn't I just killed someone? I literally still had blood on my hands. But walking into the throne room, the air felt different.
"Lillian!" The queen exclaimed warmly. She never did this. I was the child she never wanted. But today, it seemed she was willing to address me. Thats when I saw them. A family of four. A boy about my age standing with his parents and his little sister. All looked incredibly nervous.
"How can I assist you?" I ask cooly, not letting her warm address throw me off.
"Lillian, this is Prince Alec and his family." Prince Alec was our kingdoms closest neighbor, and our enemy.
"You and Prince Alec will be married in three weeks time. We figured you two would want to meet first." The king finished for her. Married? No. I was usually very good at keeping my face clear of emotions, but my mouth fell open.
"Married?" I ask, hoping I miss heard. My hopes where crushed when both the king and queen nodded.
"We were hoping you could show the prince around while us and the king and queen of Alaria talk." I nod. Trying to figure out how to form words again.
"Right this way." I finally get out.
