I woke up in my chambers on top of my bed wrapped in a soft white down blanket. I stretched as if I had never left the room. Was that whole night been a dream? Did I dream of percival's embrace and atlas's kiss? I pinched my wrists just to make sure this is real. Ouch! My skin reddend from the pince area...not a dream I concluded
Kinsley knocked on the door with a stern look upon her face. "I'm so mad I could spit nails" she loudly exclaimed as I giggled at her outdated analogy "That snake of a doctor told the king. THe King is not annulling the marriage contract. He is still making you marry one of the princes."
" he wouldn't!" I screamed as I threw open the chamber door towards my father's throne room. I pushed passed all of my father's advisors who tried in vain to stand in my way" the king is busy." They all whined fell upon deaf ears as I stormed pass them. " princess" they bellowed dramatically as I pushed past them
I dramatically threw open the thrown room doors . Shocked faces of all four princes and a older gentleman is... priceless." Father" I pleaded as I rushed towards the thrown .the words got stuck within my throat as tears streamed freely down my face.
Stopping a mere inches from his thrown in which he sat upon. I fell to my knees bowing bowing with over flourish . Everyone gasped at my display I felt a hand upon my back" get up child " I got up and jumped straight into his arms. He hugged me back as I felt a wetness upon my cheek. " I thought I lost you my precious aurora "
" Oh father you could never loose me I'm your daughter ." This is when I noticed his features closely he had the same ruby red hair. that I posed now so it must be a royal heredity trait. I pondered as he pushed me away and introduced our guest.
"This my daughter is soon to be your future father -in- law. King Loren ."upon his regal features His sinister smile deepened as his gaze fell upon my amulet . He resembled from what I could tell a lot of Rhys's features. Curly snow white locks and steel grey eyes that made you think of a raging blizzard . " my dear aurora I have heard so many great things about your accomplishments .your father and my sons praised you on your political and diplomatic skills.I cannot wait to see in person your agility upon the field ."
Field ?!"I asked nonchalantly as the king smiled at me. "The training field my dear against a son of my choice "he coldly eyeing Draven then rhys who still sheilded his face with that horrid mask" my pleasure king Loren then we will speak of my upcoming engagement " I stated more towards Draven then to anyone else. king Loren's eyes lite up in excitement at the notion of merging our kingdoms trough marriage.
Was it the notion that he wanted to see his son's humiliated . A chill ran down my spine as he got closer to me. " challenge accepted" I changed the subject " father as I excused to get ready for the challenge.
"Yes and next time you barge into my thrown room as you did you will be felt with accordingly.I knew that once again the dungeon would be my residence for a month." I cringed at the mental imagine. Even though I couldn't be tortured as most of the prisoners do. I would be just locked up in the tower with only my books to keep me company.
"Yes father"I said as I bowed to him, then the princes,And then to king Loren. Before I walked out I heard the kings comment " you have raised an Obedient daughter she is totally acceptable to marry my son."
"any you want to see obiedant you find a dog . I am never to be considered in that way or term ever again." A energy ball lite up my fist. I immediately squashed it within my palm . knowing smirk crossed his smug face. My palms itched to slap the smug smirk off his handsome face. Ohh he is so annoying … and he is going to be my father- in -law..gods help me and grant me patience I inwardly screamed as I left the thrown room.
