(Stolas's POV)
I wake up the next morning tired, but it was later than usual. "Good morning stolas." My butler says hovering over me. I respond "good morning!" then I yawn. He backs away and waits for me to get up. And so I did, slowly. From all of what happened last night I couldn't keep Blitzo off my mind. He made me so happy! Anyways before I keep going off topic, I get off my bed and hurry to the bathroom. "Stolas, did you have someone over when you weren't supposed too?" My butler asked. "What do you mean? I was getting ready for bed! You saw me before you left the room?" I said panicking. "I heard laughing coming from your room, it didn't sound like you.", I didn't know if he could tell I was panicking because it felt like I was being put on the spot. "It was me! I just saw something funny out my window!" I said. He didn't respond and got the gel out from the drawer as I got on my stool. "Whatever you say your highness.", I calmed down a bit but I was still worried. What if he told my father? I would be banished from ever seeing Blitzo and I didn't want that to happen, he was my only friend! A few minutes later after my butler helped me, I ran out my room to the throne room happily to see my father standing next to a girl that seemed familiar. He was talking with her, then he turned around. "Owl boy! Good morning, this is your wife! Say hello Stella.", she stayed quiet then said "hello." in a harsh tone; my heart had dropped. My father never told me I would meet her today, she scared me i didn't know what she was capable of. Yes, she's a child just like me but she seemed more; mature and vile. "Now stolas say hi back! Don't you have manners?" He said a bit irritated, "sorry father.. hello." I said a slightly worried; then she walked up to me and grabbed my hand. "We are going to your room to play with my dolls. My brother is coming with as well. So don't be a baby." She said aggressively; "o-okay Stella.." then I was pulled really hard by her then ended up being dragged.

-Later in Stolas's room-
We made it to my room, her brother was behind us and I didn't even realize it until he shut the door closed. She pushed me down to the bed and made me sit down, "His name is Andrealphus. You better respect him." She said sassily. I nodded quickly and her brother sat next to me with one mean glare. "What's your name pipsqueak.", "Stolas my name is Stolas.. Andrealphus" I said to him trying not to make eye contact, he scoffed "what a name." He said snickering as well.  I was quite hurt, first Stella pulled a muscle from my arm and now I'm getting judged? I knew our "Marriage" wouldn't turn out like a fairytale like I always thought, I wish it would be a happy ending. Anyways, Andrealphus shoved me to Stella, "play with her.", I nod then grab one of the guys to play with her. She didn't really seem to like me, especially her brother; actually my brother too. But my brother-in-law. I wish Blitzo was here, I would rather be with him than her; she already hurt me! She's vile, I don't like it. Well I'm already married to her, might as well try to make it work for our future right? I hope maybe, I could change her from her violent ways and we could possibly love each other while we grow up together! A downside to that is; I have eyes for someone better, Stella is in the way of that. I still have hope that maybe... he thinks the same about me?
