Out of POV:
"You must marry" The king said, Maria stood up so quickly once she heard the word 'marry'.
"What father?" Maria said, turning her whole body on her father. "Yes, i'm sorry dear, but you're not cut out to rule by yourself." He said, Maria looked hurt by her fathers words, but simply acted as if it didn't matter what he said.
"No."
"No?"
"No! I will not marry." Maria stomped her foot on the ground. "Yes you will, I'm sorry but this kingdom needs a man to lead. You haven't proven yourself once that you're cut out to be Queen." He said, and he stood up. Maria walked in front of her father and begged him not to force her to marry someone that she doesn't even know. Her father rejected her request and sent her away.
"Wait father," Maria said, before heading back to her room. "I could marry anyone if they take care of me and they are cut out to be 'King'?" "Okay, but I must meet them first, you have a week to find someone and you will be meeting other princes this week as well." He said,
Maria tried to hold that contagious smile she always has on her face, but It just crumbled up when she entered her room.
And then, she started to cry.
"Liya, I don't want to marry anyone I don't love." Maria cried, Liya couldn't help but hug the child, for that used to be her best friend in that used-to-be bundle of joy.
Maria was shocked Liya hugged her but hugged her back and cried even more.
"Don't worry princess, maybe you will like some of the princes that come this week." Liya said, and threw her a slight smile. Seeing Liya smile made Maria feel welcomed and jumped up and hugged her again.
The next day, Maria got up not in her usual happy way, but she got up.
She put on a big, fluffy, pink gown with her crown and some gold necklaces and bracelets. She also had gold star earrings that were her favorite.
She got up and went over to Liya's side and grabbed one of her mirrors and looked at it.
"For a princess, I look homeless." She said, and she went to the bathroom to fix her bed hair.
After about 10 minutes, she came out and Liya was there waiting for her by the door with her normal clothes on. "Wow, you look -handsome-" Maria said, Liya couldn't help but giggle and opened the door for Maria. "Why thank you, gorgeous~" Maria said, which caused Liya to start calling her baby, and then laughing at each other. "I bet that's how the princes are going to talk to you -Maria-" Liya said, and they both laughed even more. Maria held part of her dress so she could run down the halls one last time before she had to face her mortal enemy..
Heels..
Heels for Maria were like stopping a wild dog by putting it on a leash.
She put on the heels and tried walking but instantly fell grabbing onto Liya for support, but also fell because she wasn't expecting it.
They both looked at each other silently then busted out laughing. It had only been 4 days and you could tell, they were friends. Making fun of how this situation will turn out, laughing together. They were best friends already.
Liya helped Maria stand and walk in heels before they met outside with prince number one.
"I'm scared Liya." Maria said, standing in front of the door. "It's fine, plus you might like someone out there." Liya said, she opened the door to reveal 3 princes and her father standing in the garden with a table in the middle.
"You're with your father, so I'm going to change into something for the occasion." Liya said, and she shut the door behind her.
"..." Maria went over to her father and bowed to the princes that bowed back.
"Okay, lets get this started." Her father said, and they all sat at the table in the garden.
