Oxzoria Academy: The War Of Hearts (HIATUS)

Chapter 2

A Grasp on the Unknown Town

Harper's POV

I created a loud thud after thumping my forehead in my desk and pulled a few strands of my air. I let out a scream that filters my frustrations throughout the days that passed and let myself cry of irritation. I rested my head on the table and turned my head to the left facing the bookshelves that stood near me.

The whole room was quiet, I was the only one making a sound. The office was calm, I was the only one getting mad.

It's been a month ever since the judgment occured and I haven't done anything yet to show them what I got. I am barely close to choosing someone to marry but, I need to resist. There's still a way to do something. It is still early to give up, but what the heck should I be doing? The main thing that I should be doing? The important thing that I should do to satisfy them, to satisfy me??

Maybe I should just marry?

"No!" I slammed both my hands, crumpled into fist and groaned before slamming my head back to my desk.

How dare me think about marriage? I wasn't thinking of it before nor did I dare indulging myself with it! Not before the court told me to do so! I was kinda mad that they wanted me to get married before I make my way to the throne. It felt like they trampled my characteristics as a woman. It felt like they think of me of someone that could not handle its people without a man.

Surely I could handle the people, how am I supposed to be a Princess if I cannot? I should not give up. I've already been through a lot and I'm supposed to just surrender just because they told me to marry which is I do not approved of?

"No way!" I said to myself, voice filled with encouragement.

"No way— What?" I glanced at the door and saw Wonter coming in. 

He came towards me and I stood up and greeted him with a hug before gesturing him to sit down on the vacant sit across the table in front of me. I settled myself back to my sit as Wonter did the same.

"What's with the sullen face?" He pointed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked and rested my checks on my hand.

"Your mother told me you needed help," I rolled my eyes.

I didn't spoke with my mother. I was mad at them for not telling me about the stupid law the court says. They didn't even protest about it! I know, I kinda sound mature right now. But, who the hell cares? I didn't want to be married yet and, I think I do not plan to!

"I do not need help, Wonter. I'm sure you wouldn't visit me if my mother wouldn't told you that I needed help," I stood up and grabbed a few books and walked towards the shelves to placed back the books.

"Whoa, are you sulking at me?" I turned to face him.

"No, I do not sulk Wonter. The only one who does the sulking between you and me, is you." Sarcastically, I said.

"Okey, fine, how about we talk as to why you seemed angry right now?" he gently snatched the books from me and lead me back to my desk.

"And, you know what I brought?" He placed a bag in my desk and started unzipping it. I wrapped both my arms around my chest and watches him pull the 'thing' hes was talking about from his bag.

"Ta-da!" He says and places down a box of chocolate mousse cake!

My stomach immediately grumbles and my mouth began to pounder with water. I closed my mouth tightly shut and stopped myself. No, I was just mad right now! He starts unwrapping the box and sliced a peace of it and pushed the plate towards me. I stared at the cake he gave me.
