I waited..oh hell lord knows, I waited.
Waking up from the most excruciating sleep of my life I woke up to a new day..
A day I become someone's…Wife.
Nervous as hell,my mind would occasionally drift to the thought of the man I would soon call my own.
Did he know about the arrangement?
The reason?
Me?
Did the man I hope to spend the entirety of my life with for the sake of my kingdom,even,want me?
My thoughts were answered with a sharp slap to my face at the Head council table several hours after having had the palace maids dress me in my wedding attire.
I sat quietly..,with a dreadful look on my face as I analyzed the scenes Infront of me...My mother crying with half her face covered with her white silk handkerchief,smearing her makeup.,my father bowing his head, as if he was in a more dreading time than I was.,the council members vying for how the act conducted by my future husband was of disrespect to the alignment of the Great Fourteen kingdoms.
Everyone somehow seemed mortified about the action of my future husband since he didn't show up to the wedding.
My heart clenched at the thought of how he made a mockery out of me and my family.,Yet it felt relief to having prolonged the unavoidable..
Home was the only place I ever knew, and the thought of being taken away to a place I didn't know or at least feel any connection to..was incredibly scary.
A marriage of alignment between the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom would have been a Mary lighter for any Disney hooked junkie in the kingdom,,yet it was of no appeal to me
No offense,I loved a good Cinderella,Billionaire,CEO love novel but this appealed to nothing of such .,Crown Prince Kōhei is a famous prince known to all citizens of the Great Fourteen Kingdoms .,he was known to be a cruel man with a stone cold heart.,some even called him a demon.,women would call him Their Master, whilst men would salute to him as The General at the same time old people would curse him out as they saw more than the young Gens saw.
His fame came from the countless wars he won.,the countless people he killed,and the countless women he bedded(FUCKED).
Yet this stone made man was to become my husband Today.. and..He.Didn't.Show.Up.
News Update
"The princess of The East kingdom has been left abandoned in her wedding day..A wedding mockery"
"Kor.."
I was pulled out of my dreadful nightmare as my father called me,alerting me on how the entire room's eyes were currently on me.
"Fuck"I silently cursed out making a frown appear on my father's face, whilst my mom finally looked up from her crying position and met my eyes with a shocked expression before she went back to crying again..
I looked away from her to face the council table,only to discover a man that hadn't been in the room when I first entered.The man looked at me and placed a business smile on his face..
"Princess..It is an honor."He said as he bowed his head to me,making me bow back..
"Kora,this is Hugo .,the prince's advisor..he came with an already signed alignment from the crown Prince...So..you can still get married."My father said to me with a soft voice I've rarely heard him use.
My mother's cries intensify,and the angry princess inside me wanted to tell her to Shut.THE FUCK.up.,but no.,I wasn't raised that way.,I was raised with manners and decency…so I focused my eyes on the extremely handsome man named Hugo,Only now realizing I knew him from the countless news broadcasts on the crown Prince.,..as he was the prince's advisor from since the prince was named crown after his first war.
My eyes went to the papers in his hand and he seemed to have realized the meaning behind my glance as he handed me the papers alongside a pen with a smile plastered on his face,. .I signed my name next to the crown prince's..
Aligning the first time we were close to each other., even though it was just by name.
Kōhei.
Kora.
