Princess of the North

Simple Conditions, I Expect A Simple Answer

A sign of declaration? This necklace? What declaration? Anyways, weeks already passed with Jun trying to avoid me. I need to go back to the palace tomorrow, tomorrow is the engagement with the Neptune guy.

"Jun, I'll be leaving tomorrow. This necklace, take it back." I told him, removing the necklace from my neck.

"Keep it, there's no reason not to keep it, right?" Jun asked me, as he looked at me.

"If I keep this, I wouldn't be able to forget about my mission, about you, about them, and about being a princess in this realm." I told him, as I gave him the necklace.

"Ayase, listen, that is a sign of declaration, you'll know what I'm saying tomorrow. So, keep it." Jun told me, sadness in his eyes, as he made me wear the necklace.

"Bye, I need to leave now. I need to prepare. See you." I told him, as I quickly walked to my room, and opened a portal to the palace.

Goodbye. The family that has accepted me, especially Jun. I don't want to go... I don't want to leave. But what choice do I have?

I stepped into the portal, and in an instant, I'm back at a place I once called a home.

"I'm back." I told my parents, they looked glad to see me.

"Aya-" my mom tried to talk to me, but I interuptted her.

"I have certain conditions, if you want me to marry the prince. First, I want freedom, if I want to return to the Magic Realm, I will, and no one stops me. Second, if I don't like the Neptune prince, I won't marry him. Third, call me princess or queen, not Ayase, if I decide to marry him. Lastly, if I marry him, I won't and will never consider you as my parents, since you FORCED me to do this marriage. You will have nothing to do with me anymore. Do you accept these conditions?" I asked them both, looking at them with not even a single emotion.

"A-Ayase, I-" but I cut her off.

"I asked, do you accept or not?" I asked again, but this time louder.

"I accept." My dad answered, after a but of hesitation.

"If only one of you accepts, then the engagement would be cancelled. Mom, no, mother, do you accept?" I asked her, walking closer to her, while she backed away. I did that until she reached a corner. She fears me.

"Do you accept?" I asked, this time, I whispered in her ear, which made her shiver.

"Give me time to think, please." My mom begged, tears threathening to fall.

"2 hours, good enough?" I asked.

"More time!" She answered, raising her voice.

"2 hours or nothing?" I asked, as I glared at everyone in the room.

My mom didn't answer. I used my sorcery. I made the winds rise, I made it rain harder than ever. I called upon the monsters. Everyone trembled in fear, some even collapse.

"Don't you see? I don't belong here. I could destroy this entire country. I'm dangerous." I muttered, as I made things even worse.

"I accept the conditions." My mom told me, as she started sobbing.

Since I got at answer, I raised my hand, and everything stopped. Everything returned to normal.

"Oh Ayase, using that to threathen people? I don't remember teaching you that?" A familiar voice told me, in a teasing tone.

Is that?!
