Fierce

Shaky waters

Mary wasn't able to attend because she had to right letters back home  so I had no moral support

Charles sat next to me as my Granny side eyed him, I was a little annoyed because I knew she had just came here to make sure I was actually engaged, I truly don't like her, she is similar to my parents she believes that it is my only job to bare children and lease my husband. I of course don't agree but word doesn't count or matter in her eyes. I take a sip of my water(They are both only 17 so they can't drink) when my grandmother says something unexpected "Well when will you be having children." Me and Charles both chocked on our water, I was coughing and so was he we where both beet red. I looked up at my grandmother and her face was extremely serious, after we had finished chocking I finally answered. "We wont be having children anytime soon Granny." She looked at me like I was a chicken with it's head cut off. " What do you mean not any time soon I have told you this multiple times That as your du-" I cut her off, I've heard it too many time. "It is my duty as his wife to bring him pleasure and bear his children Granny I know, that's all you ever say to me. Now are we going to continue talking about things that don't concern you or are we going to eat." I said clearly annoyed. To my left I heard Charles snicker so I kicked him in the shin under the table and continued on with eating my food. 

When Dinner was finally over with I decided to go for a walk only to run into my granny again. She takes me to a room and starts ranting on about my manners, when it's finally my turn to speak I repeat what she said but more sarcastically " I guess I have to be a lady, smiling and waving, constantly obeying, I guess I need a prince to come and save me even if I don't need saving, I guess I must sit on a throne I don't own Raising the babies we made all alone, I guess for lady there's just some thing I'll never know, But if I were a man I'd go to Japan maybe swim in sine and learn to speak French I'd  have have the whole world in the palm of my hands Id finally do what I could but I cant if I where a man." I was going to say more but before I could  I felt a sting on the left side of my face. My grandmother just slapped me. "You will not be a disgrace to your country, you will sit and be quiet in the future and do what you husband has asked of you when the time comes." My Granny says and walks away leaving me there in shock, after a bit I hear a knock on the door and see it's Charles. "I- I- just wanted to say goodnight and I hope you will be attending  the meet with others countries for finding a good husband for Claude tomorrow?" there was a short pause but I eventually answered " Of course I'll go and have a goodnight." and he left.

The next day

The next day I woke up with a not so good attitude. I was very annoyed from yesterdays event but I knew that my anger would not be taken into any form of consideration. When I finished getting dressed I was met up with a very angry Catherine. "Where were you, My cousin has been here for hours and I wanna rub this in." I just laughed but let her take me to her. "Hello Violet (I don't remember her cousins name ok, so the Karen's of Wattpad can fuck off) how are you?" Catherine says with so much sarcasm. "I'm, good this my son Blain King of Mexico and his wife Malia princess of Bolivia." She said as if it was some kind of competition, I didn't even realize Charles was next to me until Catharine and her pettiness got the best of her. "  This my son Prince Charles and is fiancé Queen Odessa of Bulgaria." with the biggest smirk on her face. After her cousin stormed off Catherine sent us off for some "quality" time, in reality she knew we wouldn't get along and the hope that we would was showing in her actions. After a very long and awkward silence Charles finally spoke up. "I hope you know that you don't have to worry about anyone coming for you, we have guards here to protect you." Ugh, the nerve of this boy, why does he assume that I'm worried about my safety, the day I was born i was a target, just because of my title and he thinks that this what I'm nervous about that, if anything I'm more worried about not having a target on my back, plus I can clearly defend my self. " I'm sure there will be a man to save my day, but I have you know that I'm not worried about that at all, if anything I'm worried about not being attacked, and I can protect myself." I think he was a little taken aback by my approach but he needed to learn the truth, That I am clearly capable of saving myself in any situation. " Well I just thought that as a women that you would need protection and you wont have to worry about that because you will get the protection." I guess everything that I said went through one ear and straight out the other, I mean the nerve of him to think I cant take care of my self is absolutely absurd.
