Who knew so many people could stay in one place at a time. The once empty ball room was now filled with both nobles and maids all here to grace the marriage of the beautiful princess of champfer. The arrival of the king was announced and the contest began in full swing, just when Elizabeth was about to be handed over to the prince of astuniburg, something happened...
As the out casted princess of champfer, I was not allowed to relate with anyone, not my siblings or my parents and the maids because everyone was scared of me because rumour has it that I killed my twin sister when we were three and ever since I dined alone, played alone and I did everything alone I even had to wear hand me downs and it's not because my mother is a mistress, mother is actually the crowned queen which makes her superior to every other wife or concubines the king had, I wore hand me downs because the royal tailors refused to come closer, I always tried to look my best though but I couldn't change the fact that I was out casted and mother wouldn't even look at me, sometimes I just ask my self if she remembers that I still existed, I never attended balls and not once was a ball organized in honour of me and like today Elizabeth was getting married and all I could do was peek from the most tallest, darkest, isolated and scariest room in the palace, my room, I was still busy peeking when I felt the atmosphere become tense, then I heard someone scream, I wanted to see, so I handed up pressing all me force or the glass window and next...
For someone who was falling from such a height o should be screaming but what gives I've felt pain more than the one coming, so I braced myself up for the coming pain, I was actually worried about what I was wearing and how looked because my hair was too long for me to comb alone so I just tied it into a rough bun and held it up with a silver pin and I was wearing a brand new dress that flora gave me so I wasn't looking bad and bam I felt strong arms wrap around tiny me and cuddled me tightly and when I opened my eyes to see, I was staring into a pair of beautiful but cold eyes, you know, those type of eyes that have great pain hidden behind them, I wonder if he's lonely and his lips they looked good, good enough to kiss, I wonder if he has kissed before, I wonder if he's some kind of warrior to have caught me like that, maybe I should I elope with him, his lips slightly twitched revealing a nice set of teeth and he said why not as if he could read my thoughts, then I heard Elizabeth yell followed up by murmurs and father's stern question, why are you here? I realized where I was and I scurried to my feet, curtesized to the man that saved me and up I went.
Carmen arrival made the atmosphere awkward and that man who was he, of course the king knew very well who he was, he was the eleventh prince of Aelynn and he and his men had conquered them in battle but he didn't take over, he let them keep their pride and told them he was coming for payback.
Guess what king, he said with a sang smirk, by now the king was feeling uneasy and everyone present wanted to know who the mysterious man was but he was cut short by the prince of astuniburg who told his men to seize the man that disrupted his marriage, but the king stopped by saying "I don't want a blood bath, so behave yourself"
The king himself took the initiative to announce the arrival of the mysterious man " I welcome the eleventh prince of Aelynn to our midst and thank him for gracing our princess wedding" then the prince said " I thank you for the honour bestowed but I'm not here to grace her wedding, I'm here to get married" The king broke into a cold sweat and the royalties couldn't help but shiver on his behalf, of course situations like this, only the queen mother knew how to handle well so she said "I guess we'll be having a double wedding today" "wait here while I go prepare your bride" the king wanted to stop her but he couldn't, a few moment after the queen left, she actually arrived with a beautiful bride and the nobles present couldn't help but ask where these beauty had been all along...
After I retired to my room, I drew the curtain over the remains of the window and laid ony bed, I was lost in my imaginary world, I was thinking about the man from earlier when I heard a knock on my door, I got excited at first but realized it might be one of the guest so I said the ball is downstairs take the stairs on your right and go down then it went dead silent again, I closed my eyes and sighed but someone walked in, I immediately sat up and saw mum, mum I said with hope but she didn't look like she was here for my own good then the maid came in and started to dress me up the removed the pin holding my hair and let it down, all the way to my waist and past, it was only after they bought in a silver wedding dress and mother said you're also getting married did I know that she was only here to save her pride ...
I stared at my soon to be bride as she descended the stairs and I recognized her as the girl from earlier, the queen lead her to my side and said " here's your bride" I bowed respectfully and made to leave when the king said the marriage has not been finalized, I stared at him with a cold glare before I said " I have issues to handle" and I left
