married to the devil's son
my entire life I have been preparing for this day. I always knew that I was never going to be able to choose whom to marry because I was a woman and princess . I didn't have the right to choose. hell, I didn't have rights at all. my opinions and feelings didn't matter to anyone, not even my family.
infact, my father view me as a tool to gain more power, to create alliance with the kingdom of decresh , a very powerful kingdom by marrying me off to one of the princes.
"for a prince and princess, the kingdom comes first," your desire for something comes after.
yes, right, it could be for a prince,but not a princess. if a prince married for alliance and didn't like his bride, he could just marry another. usually most of them have several wifes and mistresses, but for a princess the story was different. there's nothing she could do.she just have to please her husband and watch as he married other women when he gets bored with her. I felt my blood boil, but now was not the time to get angry.
leaving the bad thoughts behind me, I studied myself in a mirror. my maids had spent hours preparing me, making me look more beautiful than I was, I was wearing white and golden dress, am my brown hair was combed back beautiful with gold hairpins in the shape of flowers and leaves. the makeup was perfect, the only problem was the jewelry. they were beautiful but heavy, now that I was wearing a lot of them, I was already feeling weak because of the nervousness, or was it fear? I don't know, but I was feeling sick. the was a knot in my stomach that refused to go away no matter how hard I tried to calm down.
"my lady don't you like the dress?" Lydia asked.
Lydia and Ylva are my handmaid. taking care me since I was a little girl.
