It was the next morning my father had personally woke me up this morning. He literally pulled me out of bed, he stayed in my room to make sure i put on my best dress and looked presentable. All morning he stayed by my side like flies on shit. It was rather annoying.

As of now me, my father, mother and siblings were all standing at the front door of the castle waiting for the king of spain to arrive. I could honestly make a run for it now but i would be caught and beaten. I honestly see no way out of this now i sighed. Just then a red and gold carriage pulled up to the front of the castle. A servant opend the door and out stepped the king of spain. He was shorter then i remember he had black hair and a grey and black beard that was turly showing his age. The king was about 50 years of age, i am 19 when he was my age i wasn't even born yet.

"King vander, its so great to see you again old friend" my father said walking down the steps to greet him.

"King Wilson its been to long" they shook hands and talked more i wasn't really paying attention until the king vander was infront of me

"You must me Elizabeth, it's pleasure to see you again. My you have grown alot since the last time we met." He said looking down at my chest i wanted to cover it but he took my hand a kissed it i frowned a little but smiled once he lifted his head.

"The pleasure is all mine king vander" i painfully smiled

"Oh please you are going to be my wife soon, call me Phillip" i nodded and we all walked inside everyone quickly went to do there on thing leaving me with king vander.

"I come baring a gift for you" he then pulled out a red Velvet box i looked at him confused before taking and opening it. It was a brand new diamond necklace

"Oh my, thank you king van- uh Phillip this is so nice" i smiled holding it in my hand

"Yes, that is only a little tatse of what you would get from marrying me. I can ensure you that you will be treated fairly in spain." I smiled and thanked him yet again.

The day went along well he was actually a pretty nice guy. He let me talk about my passions and really listened to me. I told him about my dreams of traveling the world but he wasn't to fond on that idea. He told me about what life is like back in spain. It honestly sounded nice but i knew what he was really here for. He just wants a wife to have kids with because he has no children and is getting old in age. It wasn't until after dinner we were talking in the library where things took a turn for the worse. I was sitting on a chair telling him about mg favorite books when he laughed a little

"Is something funny" i asked nervously

"I don't understand i thought women couldn't read" he chuckled
