There once was an angelic princess from an old country. She was the most beautiful woman of the empire, admired by all, and the favorite daughter of the king, her father. Till one day, the king called for her.
- My dear daughter, we have been in war for too many years, I am getting old and now that the peace is sealed, we have to celebrate it by the most majestic feast the kingdom has ever known.
The young princess didn't really understood.
- What does it has to do with me, father ?
The king hesitated.
- The ruler of the other kingdom agreed to end the war if we unified both of the two parts of the land... with a marriage.
The princess was to shock to respond. Of course she knew that she would only marry a man her father would have choose, and never one that she would have loved, but she didn't though the day would come so fast.
So she stood there, in silent, while her father was trying to convince her that he was a good man that would treat her well, that his castle was beautiful and that she would never miss anything, telling her that she could do that for him, so that he could retire and live a peaceful life.
Don't cry, she told herself. You knew this would happen.
