The Beginning ( Vol 1 )

All my life, I have always been told to let nature take it course, and this nature in question is my ever dearest father.

  How pathetic!! A princess who doesn't have a say in her life and is always forced to do the bidding of her father.

Today, which is supposed to be the happiest day of every lady is the saddest day of my life. 'Why??' because I was forced to let nature take it's course again. I can remember like it all happened yesterday...

"No! Father, I don't want to get married"

"It's not about what you want, it's for the kingdom"

"Mother... please help me"

But as you know once a greedy man, always a greedy man. My father won't hesitate even if he has to sell his one and only daughter out to a mysterious prince rumored to be the 'devil reciprocal' or better still the 'Prince Of Darkness'

"You look beautiful in your dress m'lady" Olivia, my personal maid complimented me providing her most charming smile though fear and worry was evident in her eyes, I said nothing.

I had to be strong, I couldn't cry because I didn't want to ruin my makeup, I only gave her a pained smile. She took my hands in hers and said "everything is going to be fine" and I replied "yeah" even though I know nothing is gonna be fine. I am getting married to someone the whole kingdom is terrified of, someone I know nothing about and she is telling me everything is gonna be fine?? "What a joke!!" I thought

"It's time" a court lady came in to inform me

I begged Olivia to escort me to the ball room which she happily obliged to

      On my way to the ball room, I met one of my father's trusted men having a conversation with another royalty...'he is probably here for the wedding ceremony ' I thought

' can't father marry me off to him instead??' I thought

But it is too late to wish for that since am getting married already so I bowed to them and continue walking

Reaching the entrance of the courtroom, I hugged Olivia one last time.

"You shouldn't be hugging a servant m'lady, it's against the law" she said it who cares?? She is the only person I have ever been open up to without being scared of the consequences and now am leaving for good, it breaks my heart.

"I have never seen u as a servant Olivia but Instead as a friend " I said before releasing her from the tight hug. I breathed in accepting my faith as it is before stepping into the courtroom...

(2) The Beginning (2)

Stepping into the courtroom, all eyes were on me which made me very uncomfortable cause usually at weddings the guest ought to be happy for the bride but in this case, they were all pitying me. I could hear spiteful whispers coming from them but I decided to put on a strong face.

' who exactly is this prince am getting married to whom everyone shivers at the mention of his name?'

Finally, I was almost close to where my parents are, while everyone including my mom was shedding silent tears from me, my father face was full of smiles

' what a greedy man' I thought

Obviously he is the only one happy with this wedding, smiling and accepting fake praises from other royals. Getting to where they were, I bowed to my father and gave my mother a reassuring smile before sitting beside her.

I had to sit for about an hour before the groom could appear. The dancers danced so we'll and I couldn't help but let go of all my anxiety but immediately it was announced that the groom is about to make his appearance, I became so nervous I could hear my hear my heart beating in my ears, not ready to see him, I quickly faced down and I could hear the guest gasping.

' is he worse than what I expected ' I asked myself

Curious, I looked up to check and my eyes immediately widen in shock

' he couldn't be the groom!!'
