Chapter 4 - bartering

(Älia's pov)

__________

"I'm sorry father, I don't understand" He had found it impossible to talk me, as if it was hard for him to form words right, forgetting all the terms in the world, he was sitting there emotionless.

"Listen to me carefully, don't dare to interrupt me" I nod, understanding how ruthless he might come off, but he is my father and I respect all his decisions. "I have decided that I can no longer look at you sad and lonely like you have no meaning in this life but in fact you do, so I came to a conclusion that you need a life partner and a significant other" my face fell faster than a corpse in cement boots. In that instant my skin became greyed, my mouth hung with lips slightly parted and my eyes were as wide as they could stretch. I was absolutely astonished, I wasn't expecting that.

"As I was predicting that you wouldn't be very pleased by the news, I just want to let you know that I sold you to Henry the Prince and they will be here by tomorrow so I expect you to look the best you could."

What is going on?
