Marcella had been locked up in her room for two days and she was getting used to it. She preferred staying indoors than having that wench court her. Her room door opened slightly and her mother's head popped in.
" Good morning mother." She smiled as she stared outside the window.
" Good morning, Marcella. How have you been?" Queen Jasmine asked.
" Like I'm caged. " She teased and her mother laughed.
" Your father's doing what's best for you. Marcella you have to get married soon. Our kingdom is getting weak and we need allies. " Her mother sighed.
" What of my brothers? Can't they get married? "
" Your brothers are engaged to be married except Ethan of course. "
" I don't want to get married now, mother. I don't want to be cooked up in a castle by any man. I want to explore the world. "
" There is nothing to see in the world. The world is a dangerous place, Marcella. "
" Then allow me to the dangers and how to defeat them. " She said and her mother sighed.
" I hope you change your mind." Her mother said and left the room.
Marcella was summoned to the throne room by her father. She thought he was gonna lift her punishment but she was given something worse.
" Marcella I'm sure you remember Prince Edgar." Her father said after she had greeted him.
" I do my king. " She said respectfully.
" Prince Edgar has brought a marriage proposal. "
" Marriage? "
" Yes. He has taken interest in your after that night. "
" But my king..... "
" I'll leave you two to catch up. " The king said and waved his hand.

Edgar kept talking non stop while Marcella pretended that she was interested in what he was saying.
" You've been quiet since we came out of the throne room." Edgar said.
" Are you just noticing? " She scoffed.
" You don't like me much? "
" I don't like you at all. " She said and walked away. Edgar balled his fists and glared at her as she walked away.
" No one dares walk away from me . Don't worry Marcella, I'll make sure you're mine. Soon I'll be the only person you'll want to be with. " He grinned evilly.
Marcella went to her brothers training ground to watch them like she always does.
" Where's your prince?" Marcellus teased.
" Gone I hope. He disgusts me. Why would father do that without my consent?! " She pouted.
" You're his only daughter and he needs to see his grandchild before he dies. " Ethan chuckled.
" Whatever. " She murmured. She pick a sword and waved it at Ethan.
" Hey careful there. You don't want to cut yourself. " Ethan said as he tried to take the sword from her.
" Who says I don't know how to use a sword. You thought me when I was ten." She smiled as she took her stance.
" That was eight years ago. You can use the bow. " Nicholas said and passed her a bow.
" Thanks big brother." She bowed slightly. " For once Ethan be like our big brother. " She winked.
" Marcella!!" King Marceau yelled as he entered the training ground.
" Father." She said throwing away the bow.
" Why aren't you with prince Edgar?"
" I don't like his company."
" Marcella you don't have to like his company. You'll get used to it. "
" Father please choose someone else. " She pouted.
" I'll only choose someone else when I see changes in you. You haven't gotten to know the kind of person he is and you don't want to try to get to know him. "
" But father I don't like him, he's too arrogant. "
" Marcella you always have an excuse. I'm not buying it this time. You'll either work things with him or find a husband of your choice within two days or stay indoors till you agree to get married to him. " He said and walked out.
" I wish father could understand me for once. " Marcella sighed.
" He never understands any of us. He only cares about his kingdom." Nicholas sighed.
" Look at who's talking. Father gave you the most perfect bride." Marcellus scoffed.
" You think so. He gave me a s*x freak. "
" You're kidding brother. Your's a s*x freak, mine is hard to please." Marcellus said and Nicholas chuckled.
" You're lucky Ethan." Nicholas said and patted his head and Marcella chuckled.
