All I can do is stare at the shut door and the woman who just disappeared behind it. Then Arthur breaks me out of my trance. "Of all the nerve. How can a lady be so rude and annoying? She's a princess so she should act like one. Your mother and father will be so happy to hear about this princess." "No!" My word comes out more clipped and harsh then I meant. "No. You aren't to report this to my family. That would cause a lot of trouble. More than Plaidin can handle right now. I'm sure that Caricosia could handle a war but we couldn't. You know why we need this alliance. Our finances have dwindled a lot because of the last war. We don't need another on our plate." I say more calmly. "But she has no respect for you-". I glare at him."Arthur think about it. We may have amazing swordsman but would you honestly want to go against King Stark? He is renound for his swordsmanship. And the queen has magic and that princess? I'm sure she could take down and entire battalion by just yelling at them. They wouldn't have the spirit to fight anymore. And do you honestly believe that King Stark hasn't trained his daughter to fight?" Arthur's resolve fades. "And I have a feeling there is more to that girl than she lets on."

I stomp angrily back to my room slamming my door shut behind me. "Of all the egotistical jerks in this world!" I snap and stand against my window crossing my arms. My outburst didn't seem to faze my maids at all. "Something the matter my lady?" Marie asks. "Oh nothing besides the fact that I just had a wonderful conversation with the prince of Plaidin whom I'm supposed to marry. Which would never happen in a million years after I found out he is so high strung and believes the world is his to command. And the only other men I would be interested in talking to left me alone because I asked them to and that was the biggest mistake of my life. I miss them so much. And I haven't spoken to my birth parents in god knows how long because I was being a horrible petty person." I say sadly and sit on my bed slowly. Marie smiles warmly at me and sits down beside me softly stroking my back. "You are not a horrible person. You are the most amazing,sweet,kind,caring,strong,person I have ever met. Don't ever believe your not. I couldn't ask for a better princess and future queen to serve." I give her a small greatful smile. "Thank you Marie." I say and hug her. Without her here I would have completely broken down and fallen into the darkness.
