That's it, I've arrived, Arundel, the small kingdom of anyone's wildest dreams, my home, my motherland. But I kept questioning myself, is this really home? Have I left my home? Or have I arrived home? At one point I started mistaking my sister Isla as Hyunda, asking wildly why Hyuntae didn't call me for interrogation aldready, the chariot shook under my cries. But why did I miss that hellish place? Why am I, even for once second thinking of it as home? Sometimes, I really wonder what was wrong with me, but nothing I did was so wrong as the reason my father had taken me home for at the first place. 

" Darling, I have news "  Isla says worridely, and oh yes, she's engaged with Prince Jeon, soon to be married to him in a three years, I'd never been that happy.... seeing my sister's eyes shine bright as her doe-like ones met with the Prince's eyes. It was love, true love, pure love. A love I'd love to see exhibited again and again, such beautiful interactions, if this was how love felt like, how I wish I had it, but I shook those feelings off, it was too sick to think about. 

" What news? " I asked tiredly, trying to see if I can see Hyuntae's camp through my window, but I knew I would never, father had kicked them out, currently for meantime, making him safe from attacks. " Father's announced your engagement " she says softly, instead of screaming my head off, I take a deep breath and let the tears flow, freely and slowly.

I've found the 100th reason to hate my father, I loved him despite what he had done to me. This morning I talked to him, freshly bathed, but my face immediately tear streaked, making my face sullen, ( " You still look beautiful " Nieje and Annerose had coaxed ) 

" Let's talk father " I say, gracefully curtseying to the Duke present, who left after he passed a important package to my father. " About your engagement isn't it? " he says, smiling, he doesn't seem to sad about it. " Why do you keep on marrying and engaging me to random people I didn't meet Father? " I say, my eyebrows knitting together, my loyal servants advancing towards my side. " Arundel's running low my dear, " whispers Father, genuine worry for his kingdom showing up in his voice. " We need this to happen Darling, otherwise there won't be a Arundel to rule anymore" he concludes sadly, I nod, I understood everything as all puzzle pieces fit together. I nod again and stand up " Can you atleast inform me who is it you have arranged my engagement to? " I say, trying to keep my voice in check, " A very prestigious King's son, he's an extremely handsome lad, and very well mannered too, would take care of you excellently " my father says smiling, pleased to see that I had seemed to give in to the engagement, I nod and curtsey, stalking off to Isla, to cry till the evening locked up in the room after inviting Nieje and Annerose over.
