************* 500 Hundred years ago **********************

There was no one in the room except me . I was sitting in front of a big mirror in my white gown. I was anxious and was very jumpy. All I wanted to do was run away. 

My white wedding gown. It was white and silky. Felt like It was made for me. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw an unknown girl who can't fight. Fight for her rights. Fight for her people. I never imagined myself being this unhappy at my own wedding.

Someone entered my room and I jumped and turned around. My mom. She was holding a box and smiled at me. She came and sat beside me.

"I see my princess is ready for her big day"

She opened the box and bought a green emerald crown and placed it on top of my head. I gasped at it. Only the Queens are passed down this Crown. She is sorry for me. I can see that in her eyes.

"They say he is a soulless person who can behead you without blinking" I told her in disgust.

"So is your dad and all the warriors and princes who have to protect their kingdom. "My mom sharply stated but the fear in her eyes did not go unnoticed.

"So this was my purpose. Protection of my people by sending me to him" I ask knowing very well that this statement will hurt her.

"You have no idea Athena what greater purpose you behold for both the kingdom. Let's go everyone is waiting" She cried out slowly before putting the veil up on my face.

At that moment someone knocked on the door. My mom said come in and It was my dad. The king of Azkav. He smiled at my mom and my mom left the room. I will start bawling if he says anything right now. He came and kneeled before me grasping my face in his two large hands making me look at his eyes. If anyone sees the great King kneeling in front of a girl he sure will be in the mockery of the whole country as the king who kneels loose. But I can see the defeat of power in his eyes.

"Athena, When you were born I promised you that you will have nothing to do with the War and politics. I will fight for you and never let you be a mere deal ." He told me with tears in his eyes.

"Then why?" My eyes are tearing up. I am not going to cry. Not now. I am strong!

"Kingdom of Velora is the only one who can save our people, I never asked you for anything. You wanted to study. I made sure you got your education. You are the most educated girl in the whole kingdom of Azkav. You wanted to learn martial arts. I gave you that. I never discriminated against you because of your gender unlike other kingdoms. "

I know that. Perhaps that's the reason I dreamt of a life other princesses wouldn't even dare to. The priest, ministers, everyone's father went against all to make me stand on my feet.
