chapter 1

Adelles eyes flutter open as her maid opens the curtains, allowing the sunlight to enter the room. "Ah,you are finally awake. Your Highness, the King has requested to speak to you at breakfast. I have already laid out your dress for today" Adelle stretched her legs and arms,yawning "thank you lydia". The maid nodded "I will prepare your morning bath then" she was about to leave when the princess stopped her "do you know the reason,my father wants to speak to me?" Lydia shakes her head,no "no,unfortunately I do not know that. But I am sure it is nothing too serious, you mustn't worry,he is your father after all" Adelle nodded "thank you, you are right. It probably is about some tournament or event I have to attend". Lydia nods "is there anything else you would like to know?" "No, that was everything, you can go now". Even though it probably was nothing too important, Adelle still wondered what her father could want from her. She had been sitting on her bed,before Lydias voice brought her back to reality "your bath is ready,your Highness".

After the bath and getting dressed, Adelle made her way through the countless corridors before stopping in front of a door. She took a deep breath "It's ok, nothing bad is going to happen". Then she entered the dining hall. Her parents were already waiting for her. Adelle  took a seat "what did you want to tell me father?". The king didn't look happy " Adelle,you are now 16 and at an age where most woman marry...." oh no,not this again. Adelle rolled her eyes "I will marry father, but I wish to marry a man that I love, not a ramdom prince that happens to walk into our kingdom" the girl said. "No,we've waited long enough for you to choose! You will marry the prince of durgin!" The king yelled "but father-" adelle tried to argue but was cut off "No buts! You will marry him and that is final!" Adelle was furious, she stood up,not caring thaat she knocked her chair over "how dare you marry me to that brute! He is a stupid snob who does nothing but flirt with women and brag about his wealth! I will not marry that- that...Man whore!" With that she stormed out if the room,slamming the door behind her.

The first tears started to blur her vision as she ran down the halls. No,she couldn't cry now. She shouldn't. She is the future queen, she should be a strong and responsible woman. But she couldn't help it. She came to a halt and knocked on a door. A girl around her age  opened it, peeking outside "Claire! Please let me in,I need your help!" The brunette nodded before opening the door wider and letting her in. "What troubles you?" Adelle sighed before telling her friend the whole story. "Please help me! I do not wish to marry someone that I do not love. And him the very least..." Her friend seemed to think before replying. She talked rather slowly and chose her words carefully "I am sorry to hear that you are in such a situation but I do not know how to help you. Perhaps........." Claire went silent. "Perhaps what?" Adelle asked. Her friend shook her head "No nevermind it would be too risky and it isn't a good Idea anyways" The two friends dat together in silence for hours,trying to find a solution to the seemingly unsolvable problem. It was getting cold so claire started up the fireplace, bringing more light and warmth into the room. Claire spoke up "my Idea earlier was that you could run away but that would be risky and stupid" Adelle laughed "yeah,that would be a pretty crazy plan" Adelle thought about it for a while before turning back to the fireplace. She watched the firey flames lick at the brick walls, crackling as little sparks jumped up from the dry wood "but it could work..."
