Forced to marry the crown prince

Long ago there was a war. This war changed the world forever. Lives were lost, Leadership changed, Tears were shed. One man changed the world, One man and his army took control of their desires. One man took control of the world. Kathryn: Ever since I was a child I feared this day, I was at the mercy of the crowned prince. Today was the day that all women of noble birth were presented to the crowned prince like puppets. He would choose one of us to wed. More than anything in the world I did not want to marry the future king of the globe. Why you might ask, well when I was a child my father and the king were the closest of friends, we even lived in the castle. I would play with the crowned prince everyday. We would run around the palace laughing, and chasing each other. Until my 7th birthday, it all changed. Now my father is dead and the king and crowned prince are known to all as heartless men. And they’re right they are monsters, incapable of human feelings. The last thing I want to do is marry a man incapable of love. As I got ready to leave for the palace I remembered the last thing my father said to me before he was slaughtered; “Kathryn, remember I love you, I am so very proud of you my sweet girl” I didn’t want to cry but I couldn’t help it. The tears just rolled down my cheeks like a never ending flood. I wiped the tears away and proceeded to get ready for the gathering. I wore a plain pink dress so that I would not stand out or look particularly pretty at all. I was determined to get through this day without being noticed. I was determined to seem like the poor pathetic girl who just isn’t good enough. When I was all ready I said a short goodbye to mom and got into the carriage. Heading to the one place I never wanted to return. The trip to the castle was a short one but it felt like hours had gone by. Alone to my thoughts, hoping that the crowned price had forgotten about me and wishing to God he wouldn’t notice me. As we pulled into the palace drive I looked out the window at the enormous palace I once called home. Obvious now however that the king has made it much bigger. I held my breath as I felt the carriage come to a stop. Anxious for this day to be over. Anxious for the crowned prince to be out of my life forever.
