Amatory

Disaster of a day

It was a stormy day.

Clouds were grey and heavy only the sound of water hitting the ground could be heard. The palace was empty, or so he thought. Here was Princess Liana's to-be-husband, trying to find his way into the Princesses chamber. It was quite an odd time to be snooping around in the royal palace, but he was. Reaching her chamber was not easy, and finding his way through the multiple guards wasn't exactly easy. They weren't supposed to meet before marriage, but he didn't care. Moving along he pulled the handle down, opening the door to her room. Surprised he was he didn't find his princess in the chamber. Until he heard silent sobs, echoing throughout the room. And there she was, crying while looking out of the balcony. It was shocking to see her like that, but nevertheless, he walked up to her hoping not to frighten her. "Princess Liana, are you okay?" a deep, rough voice had asked. She quickly turned around; wiping her tears away and letting out a soft "yes" while nodding her head.

He suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her up, "Prince Arthur, what are you doing?" she struggled out of his grip, but he held tight. "Stop this at once, what's wrong Liana" she nodded her head no "There's nothing wrong Arthur, I'm fine. Just feeling under the weather" He pulled tighter on her wrist. "Please don't lie to me Liana, I know something is not right. Tell me and I will help you or find the person who made you cry. Who is it?!" She pulled her hand out of his grip and hissed, rubbing her wrist. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ARTHUR PLEASE, I'M TIRED" she yelled while tears brimmed her eyes. "Princess Liana, calm down. It's okay, I'm here for you my love" she shook her head "No you're not, you're just like the others. Getting with me for my fathers' rights, for power. Greedy for my crown Arthur. Please just leave" "You're wrong princess, I- I am here for you I swear on my life"

"Get out" she pointed to the cream-coloured door. "GET OUT I SAID" she screamed. Prince Arthur dropped his head and bowed out of respect before heading towards the door. Once he was out, she dropped to her bed and screamed loudly. "WHY MOM, WHY WHY ME!? WHY NOT THE OTHERS" she sobbed while laying down.

Queen Helena, someone who was an inspiration to all girls in town. Princess Aurora's mother. Liana loved her mom, but her mom on the other hand always told Liana she loved her. But acted otherwise, spoke otherwise and hurt her very often. They had arguments often, Queen Helena often blamed Liana for everything.
Liana started writing everything her mom said that hurt her, she showed it to her therapist. Therapist? you must be thinking. Yes Princess Liana had a therapist, since she wasn't allowed to interact with anyone besides all other royal highness's of course. Yet again, Liana had been avoiding her family. Princess Olivia, Princess Victoria and Princess Jane. Prince Christian and Prince Jake. They all had beautiful names, after all they were Liana's siblings however her sisters had treated her horribly. Her brothers were all caring towards her and King Charles, her father loved her the most. Liana was the youngest of all her siblings, you'd think she was spoilt the most unfortunately everyone had called her a mistake as it was rumored that she was not supposed to be born. A fatal mistake, that happened once again by Queen Helena. Or maybe so..

Thoughts were clouded in Liana's mind, all she wanted was to scream and let her soul free. However, now she was in a forced marriage with Prince Arthur. Of course, her mother had agreed to it and persuaded King Charles to agree upon it too. Liana had argued for hours, begging her father to reject the proposal. Although all her requests were made, none were approved. Her engagement had taken place a few days ago. And she was feeling awful, if no one noticed. She tried to talk Arthur out of the marriage too but despite her plea. He told her he loved her.

Love... She hated that word, everyone told her so. But no one lived up to what they said. She despised anyone that said the word. All she wanted was to escape from this nightmare into a beautiful place. But it couldn't happen, not right now.

Liana had tried to run away, not once. Not twice, not thrice but a total of four times. Failing at her fourth attempt. Her parents gave up, and locked her in her chamber. They had called upon new bodyguards to make sure she didn't try to bribe anyone into her leave. Today she was going to pick or choose her personal bodyguard. It was the least King Charles would do for her at the moment..
A knock sounded to her ears, she jumped up and hurriedly wiped her tears away while straightening her clothes out. "You may enter" she said, one of the royal assistants entered. Notifying her about what was coming forward for her, "Your highness, please do get changed and fixed up. His highness King Charles will be having noble guests over" Princess Liana nodded and then stepped in familiar maids to help her get ready. Princess Liana was approached by several maidservants with many different dresses. She pointed out to one of the dresses, then entered the Lavatory to get bathed. She laid in a bathtub with her hair loose, the tub was filled with fresh milk and gorgeous flowers. While she laid back relaxing, the maidservants would scrub her body gently while massaging her head to comfort her. When they were done, they helped her out and got her dressed too. She changed into a elegant dress. She was fond of the colour baby pink and the feel of silk along with lace on her fingers. {dress below}
