All my life my father wanted me to be in an arranged marriage with prince Adam , he was trying to prepare me and change my ideas about arranged marriage but how can I accept to marry someone I hate ?
I'm sorry , I don't think I have introduced myself : my name is May , I'm the princess of this incredibly boring kingdom , this is my story .
I have known Adam since we were babies , since he's the prince of the neighboring land , there isn't one event I have assisted without him , he is the kind of person that would use his power as a prince to get anything he want , he's blond , tall , has green eyes and is only one year older than me , if it wasn't for my father I wouldn't be his friend , or be forced to marry him . Hell if it wasn't for my father I wouldn't even know who this boy was .
Anyways , since my mother passed away and my father is getting old , I need to marry a prince in order to keep my kingdom alive , at least that's what my father said , he doesn't think a woman can lead a country so I'm stuck with his unequal thoughts and a future probably failed marriage . I really need to get out of this situation no matter what it takes , considering my eighteenth birthday in the next two weeks escaping should be easy since my father always go big for birthdays without really assisting them , usually , he just organizes the biggest parties he can and stays away from them , he hates meeting a lot of people , it's rare to see an introverted king but my father is one of them , he prefers books and music to people .
For months of preparation for the day that I'm officially an adult , I really need to get the perfect dress , perfect crown , perfect shoes , perfect hairstyle , my father called the best tailor in the kingdom to make my dress , but something is bothering me in that woman , I'm not quite sure what it is but I don't really pay that much attention because only a week is left for my birthday , she seems quite nice , has light brown hair with thin eyebrows , green eyes , quite short for a woman and she seems my age .
She came in with a big smile on her face and I looked at my dad because I couldn't understand how can a tailor be so young .
- Seriously ? Father she seems like her parents are calling her to get home .
- I know what it seems like Princess but trust me the minute that you will see your dress all your worries about my age will vanish - She said to me smiling , but her beauty was something I've never seen .
She said her name was Barbara she started drawing on me with chalk like I'm used to whenever I need a new dress and I started telling how I would like my dress , she tuned out to be really nice and we became friends in quite a few minutes , I wish we could see each other longer to drink some tea , but we only had the right to see each other for the dress , I'm the future queen after all and my birthday is in a few days , I hope that she would make my wedding dress so that we could spend some more time together.
My eighteenth birthday arrived and I was just angry of the thought of having Adam in my castle I know he will be just flirting and making jokes about the fact that we are going to get married , that shows exactly how desperately in love he is with me I wish he wasn't , well , I'm not the one who chooses that but I'm quite sure that it's because of my looks , let's face it , I have blonde long straight hair , green eyes , a small nose people define as cute , small refined lips and I'm quite short , I guess I'm the stereotypical version of a princess , and I hate it . What I actually hate is people trying to figure out my personality just by my looks and the fact that I am a princess , sometimes I wish I could go on adventures instead of leading this boring royal life , most girls want to be princesses and get the most beautiful dresses and the most sophisticated shoes , but it's extremely exhausting to be in any royal family , when I was younger my mother used to yell at me for not being feminine enough , but my personality is something that no one can ever change , my personality tells me to be brave , to go on forests and walk on mud , not wear pretty dresses and wave at people that think I could arrange all of their problems in the future when I'm going to have a job I never asked for , as a little girl I always wanted to be an explorer and travel the whole world , I guess half of my dream could be made possible but in a selfish way , which makes me feel even worse about my status of princess , as a future queen I'm promising myself to make my people happier , give them more opportunities and bring them anything they want , well anything they want that I would be able to bring them , I would make myself the best queen I can be because I don't really have a choice , I'm only going to do it for my father , my people , and my poor late mother who didn't have the choice either but managed to make this land better in so many ways , words cannot describe how I miss her but her destiny was to go so young , to marry someone she didn't like , to be in head of a kingdom she wanted run away from , this is exactly why I don't want to marry prince Adam , he thinks we're friends but I really only talk to him to like him so that if I can't run away from my wedding I will be at least used to be with him , so that I'm able to lie to myself thinking he's a better person than he actually is , so that I can get support him once I live under his roof , I really don't want to hate him as much as I do but I think he's hateful on purpose so he plays hard to get but he only plays hard to want , or maybe if I spend some time with him I would be able to change his personality , we never really know how to change a person because it's almost impossible to do it , I guess I don't really have the solution other than follow the tradition as my father please and marry a man I hate
