The futility of fate

She feels poisonous daggers stabbing her heart, abandoned for a second by her dear father, who has assured her that she means nothing to him, and thanks to him now she is led to a dark destiny, to a man feared by warriors before vagabonds. New owner who paid dearly for it. Seven hours ago, inside " the Ice Kingdom." She finished washing the horses, which was her beloved job, and then went to the kitchen to help the rest of the servants with the many outstanding tasks. Today, their spoiled princess will leave for the palace of the tyrant "Alexandros", after their king bartered her in return for saving their kingdom from bankruptcy. She felt pity for the princess though she was not entirely innocent, in fact she sometimes insulted them and might speak arrogantly and with a raised nose, but her howling which now filled the palace affected her greatly and she can't blame the princess for her grief as she is led to an unknown fate as a pet waiting to be sacrificed! _ Where has your mind gone, "Miral" ? This is not the time for him to leave you and run away. We have hard work ahead before the King comes, for whose sake the back is divided. "Miral" turned to the source of the voice and replied coldly: _ I know, "Mrs. Rayana", and I am already on my way to the kitchen, but I was cleaning the horses first and feeding them, and by the way, we need to bring them more food because their food is running out. "Rayana" looked at her with a blazing fire, then cried impatiently: _ What do I say and what do you say? I tell you that "King Alexandros" is coming to take the princess and we have to get ready and you tell me this nonsense about damned horses! Immediately go to the kitchen and move your legs and then make a hot drink for the princess. _ OK I will. "Miral" responded desperately because she knew that she would not leave her in peace until she carried out her orders. She hastened to the kitchen and mixed some wild herbs with strong and comforting flavours, which she had grown specially and had not allowed anyone to use them , but for some reason she found a strong voice within her that wanted to comfort the princess as much as she could. She went up to the princess's room, and no sooner had she run up the stairs than her cry reached her. She felt a prick in her heart, now she was about to see the spoiled princess suffer for the first time in her life. She knocked on the door, and the Queen's voice reached her, inviting her to enter. _My Queen "Silvia", My Lady Princess "Lillian", this is a warm drink that will help you, my princess, to relax. May all your days to come be filled with joy and happiness. _ And where does comfort come from when I am about to go to the home of the Beast? Then the princess cried desperately, and sadness appeared on her features, and waterfalls of tears came out of her charming eyes. _ Miral", leave now immediately. Said the Queen sharply, and indeed Miral left, leaving room for them to complete their argument. The words came out indistinctly between the princess's sobs: _ I don't want him, mother. I don't want him. Death is easier for me than this humiliating fate. I can't believe my father would do this to me. The Queen took a deep breath, and then added, trying to convince her: _ Dear "Lillian", you are now going to one of the greatest kings of all time, and he is known for his handsomeness and pampering his women." The princess continued to cry, and the queen held her to her chest trying to calm her down, but she met her with a sarcastic smile and said: _This is in case I am going to him as his wife, but the bitter truth is that I am going as a mere mistress for him to play with for several nights he has paid for it in advance and will then get rid of me when he finds a better replacement. Don't try to deceive me, Mother, Hell is witness to what he has done to princesses higher and more beautiful than I. The Queen bowed her head, knowing full well that her daughter was right, as he sought her as a mistress, not as a wife. She whispered with a friendly smile in her daughter's ear, perhaps to comfort her a little: _ My love and light of my heart, the king will do nothing bad to you. On the contrary, I am sure that as soon as he sees your beauty, he will fall in love with you and ask you to marry him in order to obtain an heir to possess some Of your enchanting beauty, my daughter, raise your head proudly, for you are the princess of the Ice Kingdom. The Queen thought it was a good attempt, but it wasn't enough, and "Lillian" didn't calm down and continued to cry bitterly. Downstairs, "Miral" was making dessert with the rest of the servants for their king to give as a gift to King Alexandros. It was boring at first, but it soon turned into a violent discussion about different points of view. _I don't know why that foolish spoiled princess is sad, I swear if I were in her place I would fly with joy and prepare myself to spend an unparalleled night in the arms of the sexy king. One of the maids said sarcastically A supportive voice quickly followed: _ You're right, "Lynn". Just imagining his strong arms and broad chest makes me wish I could be his maid, and even bedmate. "Lynn" nodded, affirming her opinion, and continued with hatred: _ I wish that b***h Lillian would suffer and drink humiliation in a hot cup so that she could feel some of what she is making us suffer because of her. "Miral" narrowed her eyes at their apparent madness and superficial view of things, then fired sarcastic glances at the wanderers in front of her, and added sarcastically: _ Sorry to interrupt your perverted imagination, and I wish you had intervened before you usurped the King in your bad imagination, but I need help making sweets so we can finish before your brave knight comes. They met her speech with angry looks, and "Lynn" added indignantly: _You are always like this, "Miral", spoiling happy moments. I really feel pity from now on that fool who will be your lover. "Miral" ignored her, as she was not in a good mood to fight, as the sound of the princess's crying was still in her mind. She continued to make sweets quietly, and secretly prayed that this day would end with the least losses. ......... Standing in the middle of the snow contemplating the palace before him with a wry smile, he is now about to give King Rudolph a heavy slap in retaliation for what he did to him a year ago. He is "Chatai", the most dangerous man in the Seven Kingdoms and a dirty jobs guy. No king could punish him because they knew full well that one day they would need him. King "Rudolph" dared to take away his right. A whole year ago he did some dirty work for this king and agreed with him a certain amount. Then, after completing his tasks, the king refused to pay, citing the economic situation of his kingdom, and now it was time to implement his cunning plan for revenge and regain what is his. _ " Chatai", we have made all the preparations and now it is time to implement. A cheerful smile spread across his face, and then he added with a sinister hiss : _ Let's go, "Ivan", it's time to give the gift to the father of the bride. ........
