" what's love?" Jen asked, she wasn't getting anything that Fiona was implying.
"Love is a strong feeling you have for something or someone" Fiona explained.
"So you are saying, I am getting married to someone I love, a woman?, then I'll marry you" Jen asked.
"You can't marry the same gender, you have to marry the opposite gender" Fiona explained.
"A man?" Jen asked carefully as if she doesn't want to hear the answer.
"Yes" Fiona answered.
"But I don't love any man, you won't give me out to any man would you?" Jen asked but she couldn't get an answer, the guards barged into the room as they took Jen along with them, the king requested to see her.
Jen bowed in front of the king. "Rise my dear" the king said and Jen lifted her face.
"Not bad" the king said as he took in all her features, the lady was very beautiful and he was sure valet wouldn't resist her.
"You are getting married to valet tommorow" The king declared and Jen went deaf for a moment, valet?, the evil werewolf?, marriage with him?, she doesn't love him, she has never seen him either, how would she love someone she hasn't met or seen?.
"Your majesty, I can't get married to valet" Jen said but the king glared at her, he was emitting such cold aura that sent chills down Jen's spine.
"You are getting married to him tommorow, get prepared" The king said and Jen's eyes clouded with tears, she can't spend the rest of her life with an evil man, she can't love an evil person. Unknown to her it was valet that saved her when they broke into the castle.
"Your majesty you can't do this" Jen said as she tried to run, why were they giving her out to someone she had never met, why would she love someone she has never seen?.
"Guards seize her!" the king yelled and they held Jen down quickly.
"I can Jen, don't you want to get married and stop living your life as a maid?" The king asked but he heard no response.
"Lock her up in a room, the maids will attend to her in that room"The king said and Jen was pulled away from the king sight as they took her to a room and locked her up.
Jen crumbled on the ground as she cried loudly but no body wanted to listen to her pleas, they turned deaf ears to the woman crying in the room.
....
"Let me in" Fiona said as she placed her sword in front of the guards.
"We can't your highness only the maids are allowed to attend to her needs" The guard said,. pretending to not be affected by the sword placed on his throat.
"Fine" Fiona said as she slashed him with the sword. She quickly entered the room and she locked the door. She met Jen crying profusely as she sat on the ground, she sat beside her as she wrapped her arms around her.
"I am sorry Jen, there is nothing I can do to help you" Fiona said.
"You knew about this right?, why didn't you say no?" Jen asked as she kept weeping, she doesn't want to get married to someone she doesn't love.
"I am sorry, I suggested that you marry valet to the king" Fiona said and Jen widened her eyes, she knew about this, she was the one who told the king that she should marry valet.
"What!, you don't care about me, you want me to die?" Jen asked as she kept weeping, Fiona tried to console her but Jen pushed her away many time.
"I am just helping you, this way you would leave the castle to search for your parents" Fiona said. Jen looked confused as she stared at her, was she helping her or she was digging her grave for her?.
"Jen, marrying valet means you would have access to the werewolves, you would find clue about your missing parents, don't you want to look for.them?" Fiona asked and Jen nodded, she is right, only then would she leave the castle.
"Valet won't do anything to me right?" Jen asked.
Fiona stared at her body, valet would surely take her innocence since she was a very beautiful woman, it shouldn't be painful should it?, well she hasn't done it with any man so she wouldn't know.
"I am not sure, but you should protect yourself from him" Fiona warned and Jen nodded, Fiona handed Jen a dagger, but Jen doesn't know how to use it, so Fiona explained how she would use it, since it was a silver dagger, valet would surely die because werewolves must never have a contact with silver.
"Everything would be fine Jen, you can hate him nobody is going to blame you" Fiona said as she caressed her hair.
"What's hate?" Jen asked, these words were so new to her and she doesn't know any of them.
"It's a feeling that you don't like or care about something, you despise it" Fiona explained and Jen nodded, she hated valet and she would just marry him to know the whereabouts of her parents.
"I would come back if I find my parents" Jen promised.
"You don't need to, you would live a good life with them" Fiona said as her eyes began to tear up.
"Forgive me for been a horrible friend, I insisted that you marry valet, I am sorry" She said and Jen hugged her.
"You are just worried about me, stop blaming yourself anymore, look I am fine" Jen said as she smiled happily although she was sad that she would stay with the evil valet.
she would do anything in her powers to use the dagger on valet if he does anything stupid to her.
