You quietly took a seat at the very end of the table where no one could sit beside you.
"I was called?" You started as you looked at your parents with a blank canvas that resembled your emotions.
You didn't even know what to feel anymore. You don't know what it's like to feel something anymore.
Your eyes were heavy as they set on your father's face, there was a slight frown on his lips. While your mother heavily took your hand that was on top of the table before giving it a tight squeeze.
"Ah yes, we are here to discuss the upcoming ties of both kingdoms, the marriage will go over the expectations of all, and with the God of Love being the one to be wedded, this marriage will go in the fairytales"
