My tears drenched her pillows, while my thoughts drowned out any bit of hope. The princess was getting married. That's me, princess Tanith. My father was basically selling me of to some rich prince to get even more powerful. "That's the job of a princess", he said to me once and I just nodded my head thinking it wasn't going to be till the next 5 years. But no, it would be in the next 3 months. I don't even know his name. All I know is the rumours about him being him wicked and powerful and how he can kill a man by looking at him. Now I'm getting married to him!
I don't know my to be wife was going to be like. All I know is she is called Tanith. I don't think she has heard the rumours. If she has than she is already terrified of me. My father tells me that it's just a marriage, but I don't want it to be like that. I can't talk to my mother because she is dead and my brothers don't talk to me because they blame me for my mother's death. I'm getting married next week.
Im getting married today and I'm wearing the most beautiful gown that I have ever worn. It is infested with the whitest pearls and I'm wearing the most silkiest heels. My closest maids Julie and Tamika are fixing up my hair while tell me that the marriage will be fine and that they have heard that he lives in the finest palace. " I heard that he has the most beautiful blond hair" exclaimed Tamika. I also heard that he is so handsome that all the woman drool of him and now he is yours". Said Julie. They where only trying to make her feel better but they where just reminding her that he wasn't hers that she was his. She just thought it's not fair how he can have loads of woman but she can't even look at another man.
I doubt she is going to like me but that's the least of my problems. I'm a man I don't need to care if she likes me, all I need is to stand powerful and show of my riches. I don't yet have a mistress. I don't know if I like the sound on having a mistress but I heard she is a virgin so she might like taking it slow. I have been with many women but never have I thought of marrying them I just saw it as a bit of fun. I can't talk to anyone about anything because the closest thing to a family I have is my servants and I can't trust them that much there just there to help.
