The Marriage | Taehyung

Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ Oɴᴇ.

I had a dream once.

That a knight would come and rescue me from this life.

That he would come through my tower window and he place his mighty silver sword onto the ground as he approached me.

That he would pick me up bridal style and he would seal our new fate with a kiss.

He would tell me I was safe and that nobody would ever harm me again.

That was a such a foolish dream.

I wasn't worth saving.

I was nothing but a useless woman who should of died a long time ago.

That's what my father says and everyone else thinks it too.

I was no princess in the eyes of my so called kingdom. I was nothing but a peasant. A worthless nobody.

"MAGNOLIA!" My father yells barging into my chamber.

"Father is everything alright?" I say lifting my dress and stumbling over it to rush to my father.

"You're to be married...to the sword master." He says.

"Sword master?" I question.

"He's the strongest knight in the world Magnolia, I only want the strongest in my bloodline." He says shutting the door.

"I gave him an offer." He says and I frown.

"If he could defeat the goblins in the nearby area, I would reward him of a betrothal with my daughter." My father says.

"Since Avaline is married off, it leaves you....you're a useless mistake, but maybe this is your chance to redeem such a wasteful life you've lived." My father says and I lower my head.

"You are to be on your best behavior Magnolia or your punishment will be severe." My father finishes fixing his crown.

"Your ceremony is tomorrow around noon." My father says leaving me in my tower alone.

I fall to the ground as I started to sob.

Like I said, it was foolish of me to dream of such happiness when I was born into a world where I was hated when my father heard my first cries.

My kingdom was never a home to me. My mother passed away when I was at a very young age due to an illness. Yet not even she showed me love. However she was less wicked than my father.

She didn't beat me nor has she ever said such cruel words to me, but she sat there and let father shatter my heart more and more until she died.

Leaving my older sister and I with the wicked man I have to call my father.

But father only showed his cruelty to me. He hated me as soon as I took my first breaths. He never wanted a daughter. He wanted a son. A som to carry his last name to the next generation.

He reminded me millions of times that he wish I was a man instead of woman. He's kept me locked away all my life. I've never stepped foot outside the castle. He said I was to hideous to be seen. That I was so useless I'd be an embarrassment to our family's name.

He never treated Avaline that way. She was a girl too.

Yet Avaline was always better than me at everything.

Avaline could sing, dance, horse ride, and when she would talk and she would have everyone's attention.

My older sister was beautiful all the men in the kingdom wanted her hand for marriage, but my father refused them all. Instead she married off into another kingdom.
