The moment I enter the room I am no longer Lia.
I am the future Queen of Maya.
Just the thought of it weights me down. Like a burden I've been carrying since I was just a little girl.
Maybe I should smile. To at least seem happy. But I don't. I won't waste my energy on forcing a smile.
My parents know I don't approve of their idea.
'But they are just trying to do what's best for me' yeah as if...
-
My parents, the Queen and King, get up, they are already discussing details with the council. Doesn't look like I have any saying in my love life anymore...
"Darling, please." My mum holds my hands and a certain worry swing in her words.
Please stop fighting, please accept your fate...
"You know I love you to the moon...,"
she looks at me, waiting.
"And back", I finish our little sentence with a sad smile.
I beg her one last time. My eyes shimmering because of the tears I'm holding in.
"Mum please, please you know I don't want this." I whisper.
She looks away as if she can't handle looking at me.
"It's for your-"
"Own good?" I ask a bit too harshly but I'm so angry at my parents and their stupid concepts that I don't really care.
-
"You will find a nice, attractive men or he finds you. I promise you, darling." She begs me now.
This whole drama is really stressing her out and I felt kinda bad but it's supposed to be my future. Mine.
"Mum, just stop." I say or more likely shout.
The anger and fear have been suffocating me for so long, this feels kinda reliving.
My father already sent the council and everyone else out, so that's it's just us three.
"Cecilia Reighn, don't you talk to your mother like that. All we want is your own good. And you are already 18 years old and haven't even had one love interest yet.", my father declared with this aura of authority it makes me want to throw up.
I swallow down what's left of my pride. I can't argue with my dad. Even my ego isn't that big.
-
Mum looks like this conversation costs her all her nerves.
"How do you think I met your father?" Slips out of my mum's mouth.
In that very second her eyes widen, regretting the impulsive reaction.
Usually she's so- so calm and patient but lately...
"What?!" I gasp..
"You never told me!" Upset I look at them.
My mother tries to explain it with "well I barely remember it by now...I wore this red dress and when I saw your father. I instantly fell in love."
She mumbles...
Her memory gaps, they are getting worse...
"But you said to me, that red makes you look cheesy.." I wonder and look her straight into the eyes
My father steps in, "enough."
"You will attend the Selection at least, if you won't choose anyone then we will chose your husband.
But if you do fall in love, well that would be optimal" he says, out of his mouth it sounds so ...
Simple.
My brain tries to process my situation...
Should I? I mean they do have a point, I'd rather marry someone that my parents did not pick.
"Fine." I decide finally.
The relief is written in their face.
"But I have a few conditions.." I add with a mischievous smile....
------------
What conditions do you think she has in mind?
Do you think her lover will be from the Selection or someone else..?
Also what do you think is behind the headaches and memory gaps of her mother?
Do you have any suggestions or sth you would like to happen?
Mkey, bye;)
