Did you hear me father a dragon?
His scowl deepened "Aurora, Samyel Peace Treaty has been honored for centuries..no one wants to start a war. So,it must have not been a dragon... "He scolded me I would have pouted in the past but now I didn't even try.
Father what if someone did want war? I countered. He scoffed at the idea I presented " that's prosperous,why would anyone want war ?"father snapped as he slammed his hands loudly upon the desk.
Let's see your only daughter is single and anyone I marry will be the next king .. so why not start a war ? Hit your enemies when they are occupied with other matters or make a distraction." I started my father's eyes narrowed
"That is a preposterous notion .. " he rubbed his forehead counterclockwise." That's what I would do if I wanted to destroy an enemy" I muttered .he clinched his fists trying to reign in his mounting anger.
I always knew from an early age I was spoiled I thought. It became worse when my grief-stricken father poured his undecided attention on me. Whereas most women don't have a voice or a choices in their lives or future.
Whereas my father indulged me he raised me as he would a son . Even when he was advised not to by his advisors and court. He trained my to he his sole heir and future queen. in every aspect from wielding a sword not a spindle . Taught learning to speak up and use to express my opinion.
"It's not perposterous and you know it. You just don't want to admit I am right " I screamed and slammed my hands upon his desk as he had done moments before.
By this time furious glares and my father gripping the desk. I went too far I had a gut wrenching feeling that all those luxuries. I took for granted for all those past few years. We're now painfully gone by the furious look plastered upon his face. " you silly girl I have indulged you too much over these years since your mother has died. You defied me for the last time aurora. You have not only shamed me by your actions but this kingdom as well. You will do as I say from this day forth.
(Present)
"It's been three years since your disgraceful actions of leaving lord claudius at the alter. Aurora ,your not an immature teen anymore your country needs a queen . frankly, I have put this off for as long as I could "my father No more rebellous actions, you will marry , and no more unlady like actions occurring. I will find you a suitor who will curve this rebellious tendencies with an iron fist. " he heavily sighed " I don't want to do this but tomas . He bellowed for all to hear .
My fathers advisor scurried in the chamber. The poor fellow resembles a mouse small features, soft spoken, and scurries every place he goes. He took out his pen from his hair and got ready for the king's decree.
"I decree that all bachlors and spinsters shall be married by the next full moon. This does not exclude royalty. If the task is not accomplish you will be beheaded by the next morning."The advisors hand shook as he wrote each word down upon the royal parchment.
"But father" I pleaded "that's in two days how will that be accomplished?"
"But nothing aurora it has been decided" he said sternly. "Post them around the kingdom as soon as Possible"the advisor bowed and swiftly scurried from the room" that man has no backbone."i commented as he ran for the door .
"You my dear have too much back bone for your own well being "claudius stated " my king if I may be a bold to say I would still want to court your daughter even after this mornings humiliation ." my father ran his hand along his long beard thinking of what Claudius proposal.
" father no" I screamed forgetting Claudius' presence was in the room. From the way his eyes lite up I knew he noticed the state of my gown. I should try to cover myself and preserve my modestly . At this moment I was getting scolded I didn't care.
"Aurora, you did humiliate him so I will grant you your wish to court my daughter."Turning his fury back into my direction. I gulped as dread filled me know his next words would be. "As for you my daughter your punishment is not done you will be confined to your quarters only may you show your face when I summon you. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes ,my king "I glared at Claudius's smug face. This is not over I vowed. I clutch my fist til my knuckles ached.
"Good now go to your chamber til I deem otherwise."I steeled my spine and walked out of his office. Two guards awaited my arrival at the door . I felt as they were bringing me to the slaughter not just to my chambers. They bolted the door closed after I strode in . I didn't have the energy to bang on the door or even scream. I deserved this I dishonored my people , my title,and my father . I'm surprised that my father didn't disown and strip me from my title. I heard a soft knocking at the door.
Come in .. no answer so I shook the door only to find a box by the entrance and guards gone. What is this my natural curiosity read it's ugly head. I lifted the gold embossed lid It's..
