Vasileia
I woke up today again from the same nightmare I have been having for years since I was 15 and now am almost 18 and I am still having the nightmares. The nightmare starts with my running in a forest and some creature close on my tail chasing me across the forest and I always have a sweaty feeling and when I turn to look at the thing following me I wake up to my sheets soaked with my sweat. Today again my sheets are soaked and I vowed I will change this occurrence. I walk to the bath room and my bath is already set, I always wondered who make my bath but I always wake up and find the person or people gone. Surprisingly someone knocks on my door, I open it to see a young maid with short brown hair looking nervous and afraid, she just hands me a letter and turns away to leave. I try the call out for her but she is long gone, I shrug my shoulders and open the letter which has the royal crescent of Agrea, she starts to sweat profusely, I braced myself to open it,I opened it an the contents read "My dear daughter Vasileia, I know you found this letter as a shock to you but I needed to inform you about the news, you are set to be engaged on your 18th birthday to Crown prince Andrianos Stanakos of the Stanakos kingdom, the reason I want you to marry him is because he has the ability to protect you more than anyone in this castle can because I am starting to succumb to old age, but this is not about me all I do is for your own safety soo my dear daughter please forgive me. Your Father King Apostolis".
The letter fell from my hand as i swiftly dropped to the ground my knees giving up, I sat down my brain trying to process what I just read.All my life I did everything I was supposed to do I didn't go out, I didn't ask questions and I always agreed to his requests but this is what I get in return an arranged marriage.
