Love Throne

Chapter - 1

"I can't believe I'm finally meeting him today!" I exclaim as Leah , My helper - slash- best friend fixes my hair ."You have been saying this from the minute you woke up  Princess Scarlett" she chuckled.

Today was THE DAY , the day I'll meet my groom . I feel like it was just yesterday that mom barged Into my room, while I was in the midst of making my theory on why it's impossible for pigs to look straight up to the sky , and told me something that caught me off guard.

She explained how it was a Royal tradition that girls who reached the age of 16 got married. And since I was 16 my turn was soon coming . At first , I was confused cause my clumsy self could not even get someone to like me let alone marry me but that's when she told me that my groom was already picked out for me and that the marriage was not based on love whatsoever.

The whole idea of marrying some random stranger made no sense to me but considering the fact that this was probably my only chance of ever getting into a relationship, I decided not to question the system .

"What if he is secretly a phsycopath?" Leah giggles . Very funny. "Well then I'll run away from him and coincidentally crash into a warewolf who turns out to be my prince charming like those girls in fantasy books" I reply sarcastically , trying to sound the least bothered but in reality I was the complete opposite.

"So far from all the letters I've got from him , he seems nice I guess". "Well , I sure do hope so . Besides, its not the actual wedding day , u're just meeting him , dont be so nervous " she replied seeing my already anxious face. "It's just that , everything's happening so fast" I reply.

===============================

As I'm waiting for my *groom* at the Durchess Park for our first official meet , I feel something fall on my hand . Water? Just amazing . It's already cloudy and i dont even have an umbrella .Where on Earth is that man ? I've been waiting for over an hour now. "Screw this whole marriage" I mumble under my breath as I pick up my handbag from the teatable.

I feel an other drop fall on my face starting to ruin my perfectly done makeup that took 2 WHOLE HOURS.

Just as I turn back to leave I see an umbrella above me . Holding it , stood a man , with the most dreamy brown eyes and deep black hair .

"Marcus" he said . " I'm really sorry I'm late , we kinda got lost on our way." He said , pointing to his horse who was now eating the contents of a flower pot kept nearby .

'Well u should be ' were the words that first came into my mind cause only someone who has worn a corset and sat in the most elegant way possible waiting for an hour knows how suffocating that is . But then again 'Don't scare him ' those words of Leah kept ringing in my mind , cause when we were little , I used to scare off all the boys that came even 5 foot near me . That explains why I'm single .

"It's alright" I replied trying to sound polite , which I think worked cause he gave me a little smile .

That's when his horse came and stood next to me . I started petting him and he looked like a little baby.
"Cute" I said under my breath . "I'm sorry?" Prince Marcus replied ." Oh um the horse , he's really cute . Mine wouldn't even go close to a stranger , might even give them a kick " I said .
To that he laughed . "His name is Matt. I got him when I was 10 and he's been my little buddy ever since " he said with a smile .

So far , this interaction is going pretty well . " Shall we go under the shades ? The rain is starting to get a little stronger " he asked staring into the sky that was now completely grey . " Yes , I suppose so " I replied
"Allow me , my lady " he said giving me his hand which I took with a chuckle.
