Chapter 1: My sad life
Raine
I had always dreamt of this day, I was always certain that I was never going to be able to choose whom to marry because I am a woman and a princess, I don't have any right to an opinion on a Man.
My family sees me as a tool to gain power, seeing my face, ivy my maid asked " My lady don't you like the dress? "
Ivy and Rose have been taking care of my father, the king of "Grasiya" who manages to make an alliance with the king of " heart . ".
Father says, " For a princess and a king, the affairs of the kingdom come first. " Mother says, " Their desires come later. "
What if the king doesn't like his wife, he wouldn't bother to marry another, most kings have wives and mistresses, but for the princess it's different.
Leaving all the thoughts inside my head, I looked in the mirror. My maids have spent almost five and half hours dressing me up, making me look more beautiful than I am.
I'm putting on a purple dress, and my red hair, combed back beautifully, with my purple hairpins in shapes of love.
My problem is with my jewelry which is as heavy as a hammer. I dislike wearing them, but it's not my only problem because am already feeling nervous, and fear for my life.
" My lady, you look beautiful. "
Since I was ten, they are the only ones I could tell I'll miss once I leave. " No, I like the dress, it's beautiful. " I failed at smiling.
Ivy saw the fear in my eyes.
" Everything will be fine, don't listen to the rumors, they are nothing but just that, I think your husband will be a great man. " She sounded positive, but I could sense doubt, In her voice as well.
It's not that I believe those rumors, but they did affect me. I wasn't scared because people say he's a vampire, but they may be talking about his personality, like…
A Murderer, manipulative, hot under the collar, a cheat, and that's what scares me. There was a knock on the door, and shortly after a lady came in.
" My lady, it's time. "
After what the throne lady said,
I ascended the stairs, carefully not falling. I held my dress, but it was hard because of the dress I was putting on, then I stumbled almost falling, before someone's arms came around my waist, and saved me.
I straightened myself to look at who dared to touch me like that? I didn't care because he saved me, but I was curious. Looking up, I saw a pair of red eyes, I had never seen any eyes like that. " Are you alright, my lady? " That stranger asked with a frown.
I had never seen him before, with his brown hair that fell to his shoulders, dressed like royalty, maybe he's one of the royalties that came to my wedding, I thought.
" Yes, I am…. I am fine, my Lord. " I replied.
" My lady. " He bowed elegantly before leaving.
" Shall we? " I asked Ivy and Rose, who were too occupied to hear what I said, and they kept following him with their gaze. " Wake up. "I said to their faces.
" Yes my lady, let's go. " They said.
The ceremony begins with a greeting exchange between bride and groom, and their families. The guard motioned for me to enter, ivy and rose smiled at me as I walked inside, now I am on my own.
My mind and myself will now be alone. Is there anything worse than being alone? How I wish my mom would at least encourage me oh! Not just me, but me, my mind, my spirit, and even my soul. Raine was trying to keep herself busy with herself and by herself.
This marriage is now making me think like I am going insane.
Did someone cast an evil spell on me? Why does my own case have to be like this? I felt pity for myself. Even if Ivy were to tell her that everything will be fine for a hundred thousand dollars times I still wouldn't feel relieved, and comfortable with whatever was happy.
Sometimes I feel like I was unfortunate for being royalty.
I looked up to the Haven " why didn't I get born in a normal working-class family did I commit any crime? "
Being hooked up in my mind thinking of how her life is, and how it's going to be, I didn't notice that I had already stopped walking while standing at a particular spot.
The cold air of the passage brushes on my face and helps me understand what was happening.
" Hmm. " I breathed down and continued walking. I walked as slow as a snail.
Hoping that will make my fate a little delayed, or even change.
I looked up to see if I was close enough to the gate of the big hall.
But thank goodness I was still far. I continued walking like a snail, whenever I passed a guard or a visitor they looked at me and I was already lost, and could never be found.
The least I could do was bend my face, anyways that's what I was thought to do as a princess.
I walked with my head held high, not letting anyone mock me, even though my head was low you would certainly know that I was royalty and deserved respect even without even asking.
Finally, I got to the entrance of the hall where my fate will change.
............
Raine
I strode into the Hall Carefully, and immediately all heads turned to me, as I walked with my head held high, but gaze low, I reached the throne where my father and mother were sitting and greeted them, my father didn't badge he just gestured for me to sit down at a nearby table.
I ignored my father and smiled at my mother who gave me a nervous smile, then I went to my seat.
