As of this afternoon, I visited the boys one last time before proceeding with the ball. I told them that Tom's family is invited but, unfortunately, they can't see them. Because.... protocol.
Quite saddening, really. I can't forget the times the way he boasted about how the greatest in the world his brothers are. And how he's got loving father.
In my room, getting handled by the maids' hands on my face and hair, I was suddenly called to my father's office. I stood up with unfinished make up and hair and walked off to my father.
I knocked at the door that was left ajar, "Yes, Father? What is it?" Father—who was also being styled by maids—turned to my voice and grinned, "Ah, Y/N my child. Come here, sit. Let's have a little chat before the ball starts."
The maids left in a scurry as they heard my father's whispering command. He then led me to sit down beside him and held both of my hands. "My child, I know I have promised you that I will let you choose a man that you love but... I have to break that promise."
Baffled yet I still managed to slip a smile in and replied, "Father... what are-"
"Y/N, you are enganged to someone tonight."
What?
Father must have sensed my shock so he started to rub my palms with his thumbs. "I know it may seem shocking news to you but I have to do what I have to do."
"Y/N, you're 20 now. At this age, you must have a person that you will through life with. I'm sorry I gave this news to you unprepared but, I'm doing this for you."
He smiled at me sadly, with regret but mixed with genuine love. He did this for me who has been, in fact, wasting life with lollygagging around the castle. I exchanged a smile.

I'm getting married.
"Holy shit, I'm getting married."
Fucking shit, I'm getting married. I threw my hands on my head as the information swirled inside like the Void. Hissing with nervousness, I put my hands down on my lips and chewed on my nails.
"Princess, please don't move too much. Your dress might be ruined." said Anne behind me, fiddling with an unfashionably uneven hem of my skirt as I mumble, "I'm getting married, I'm getting married, I'm getting married, I'm getting married," between my nails.
I cut off at my repetitioned words, "You don't understand, Anne! I'm getting married!" Most of the maids left after I threw on the dress and Anne stayed to fix what needs to be fixing.
She chuckled, "I guess, it's a big deal for you."
Frustratedly, I yelled, "Yes! It is a big deal for me! I'm getting married!," all the while, motioning my hands.
"But... to whom exactly?"
That's where I my brain stopped working. I folded my hands and put one right under my chin, imitating a thinking pose. I forgot to ask Father who I'm marrying!!
I heard another chuckle as Anne stood up, "Forgot to ask the King?"
I whined like a little, wee baby. Who could it be?
"Anne, who do you think it would be?"
She pondered for a second, "There are many choices. For example, the King of the Deserts."
"Ah, yes. What was his name again?"
"From what I remember... His Majesty, King Foolish?"
"Yes, that's it but it could also be the new leader somewhere southeast. I remember his name to be Quackity. From Las Nevadas." That gambling city.
Anne shot her brows up in thought, "Yeah. That's a possibility. But there is also that still–in–position tyrant in the—uh... what was it?"
"Kingdom of Manberg?" I filled in the answer for her. She snapped her fingers and went, "Yes! The kingdom of Manberg."
"King Schlatt is his name but the thought of him being my husband..." I furrowed my brows and Anne shivered at the thought too. No one wants an alcoholic husband who acts upon what's good for him only.
"I know that the King would never choose him. But there is a possibility of it being one of the Ducal family like, Lord Wilbur or Lord Technoblade."
"Ah, yes. But let's not forget those star–studded people at Las Nevadas. I can't ever seem to forget about them."
"The "vice president" Sir Charles Slime?"
"Ehh, the First Ambassador Fundy Soot?"
"And... the Second Ambassador Purpled Grayson?"
We both pondered in thought until someone knocked upon the door. "Hello Your Highness." A muffled voice spoke through. "It's time."
-------
Nerves flaring, I clutched the fabric of my skirt as I walked down the halls with Anne tailing behind. My stomach coils in cowardice as I will be married to a person. An unknown person, if not.
The familiar giant, oak doors stand before me and exhaled. Gathering myself and my skirt, I nodded at Anne—whose hand is already on the knob—to open the doors.
The muffled music came clear as the doors fully opened and the crowd came in sight as the speaker announces, "Please welcome, Princess Y/N!"
-------
As I sat down throne, the party had began.
A sea of nobles was displayed right before my eyes. Either soft, daring or cocky dresses and suits were worn. Adorning jewelry hanged by the necks, ears, wrists and fabric. If a thief would have been here, their hands would itch and would not last in a minute.
Eyeing different groups of people, I tried to find the Watson Family but my heart sped and heat climbed my face as I spotted a man clad in fierce orange and black with shiny, dangling chains and the obsidian crown sits atop of his head.
Woah.
He looks.... ethereal.
The soft candle light gave him a calming aura than his usual brash behaviour. The light makes his expression much more softer.
He's fucking perfect.

Speaking: alright, hehehehe our reader is now engaged to an unspoken person. brrrrr, beep beep motherfucker!
but, now i will now give out this info to some people who may not have heard the news yet.
amanda, the supposed victim of gr00ming, her 'proofs' are now falling apart. everytime she posts something on twitter that is related to her "situation", the story changes everytime. she said she does not have a boyfriend in sept 2020 yet she said she has. her birthday changes too, like, what?!!!
motherfucker has been seventeen for a WHILE. since the fucking dinosaurs, dude.
but uhh, heyy!! at least dreams taking legal actions and people are slowly, but surely, believing him rather than some nasty, lying, attention seeker.
i mean, if she said she was gr00med back in 2020, she wouldn't have waited for the face reveal.
but anywayss, BIATCHHH!!! thank you for 10.7k views!! very much appreciated!! an end will come but a new beginning will come.
