"SAGE!" I roared as I ran about the unfamiliar halls.
"SAGE! SA-" My yell was caught short and right in front of me was Sage, along with others. "Sage what in the lord's name is the meaning of this! I can't be Queen, you didn't even ask me!"
"It's exactly as it implies though?" He tilted his head at me as if I was asked an idiotic question.
"But I clearly remember saying that I didn't want to be Queen!" I yelled through gritted teeth. "And if I recall correctly we haven't even married so how am I, Queen!?"
"I'm the Demon King so I don't need to marry you like a human does I just have to mark you." He pointed to my neck.
Racing back to my room I stood in front of the mirror, and sure enough on my neck was a..."YOU BRANDED ME!?"
There is dark blood red was a blooming rose in flames. It looked as red as my face, or to be precise my face was as red as IT.
I trembled in anger glaring at the forsaken mark.
At the sound of a knock on the door, a soft voice spoke, "Excuse me Your Majesty but the King requested to get you into a more fitting attire." So without waiting for an answer, she opened the door. "First we have to give you a bath, take your measurements, next we must cut out your hair, do your makeup, and then-"
"Pardon interruption but when do I get to eat?" I held my stomach as it began to growl.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty but it would be unfitting to have you eat for now because we have to much to do so I would ask for you to wait." With a slight bow, she looked me into the eyes. "Now let us begin." Clapping her hands an army of maids rushed in.
For the next several hours I was dragged about, embarrassed on more than one occasion. Half-past noon I was finally deemed approvable by the maids. Watching as they all bowed and left the room I finally sat down completely flustered to the highest extent.
"Your Majesty I would highly suggest, with the highest respect, that you wouldn't sit down so soon for you mustn't want to go through that ordeal again."
Jumping in my skin I shuddered and quickly got up, "May I ask as to why you are still here?"
"I'm sorry for my late introductions Your Majesty, my name is Alisa I was assigned by His Majesty to be your personal attendant. I am so sorry but I must stress that we have to leave immediately, getting your ready took longer than thought and I fear His Majesty gets angry when made to wait too long."
Guiding me down the door she came to a gold speckled covered door, voiced could be heard behind it many yelling and shouting at each other.
"Your Majesty are you ready?"
Taking a deep breath I straightened my posture and stood staring ahead of myself, my eyes unwavering. "I'm ready."
She opened the door and I took my first official step into the new and bizarre world.
