PARADISE OF PAIN

CHAPTER 6

After a while the party ended.
Amberline sat on the terrest and wondered what her life would be like living with a total stranger, someone she had never set her eyes on but he probably knew a lot about her and maybe he had seen her before, without her consent. " How could Father just give me out like that to a stranger, I am just fourteen and her is ....... I don't even know his age . And his name I've forgotten his name, and mother she's just agreeing to what the king said, is this how I'm going to live in fear of my husband maybe I might be a concubine. Mother is scared of father and i........i would be scared of him too she's afraid of giving her idea, she scared of being insulted why???????" She asked herself while crying.

"You should be happy that you would be getting married into the second powerful kingdom of all" Astely said while walking towards her.

"Your majesty, I wasn't informed on your presence" she bowed slightly and dried her tears.

"I ordered them not to, Diana you have to understand that I am getting you into safety by making you a family member of the Beastrelas Amber I could never allow something bad to happen to you, I am protection you, you could ask me for anything before you go there" Astely said with emotions filling his voice

"Anything" she asked with her eyes brighten like a rare, precious jewel.
"Anything my dear" he said softly.
"Call off the wedding" she said with pleading in her eyes and voice.

"No! Why don't you understand amberline??, we need more alliances for this kingdom, I need to be alive. This kingdom needs to grow stronger, it must be the most powerfuland popular kingdom ever .Amberline you would get married to him and that's final. He said with authority and existed leaving Amberline alone crying in the dark.

"This is the main reason why I am getting married.
I am being traded for alliances and power am I that useless to you. I guess I'm that much of a burden"
She thought while tears rolled down her eyes freely and then pulled off her favorite golden butterfly hair clips.

She remembered as a little girl she was being neglected and distanced by her father. She never had a very good relationship with her father, neither does her mother, she felt so ashamed that she doesn't even know what was going on in her family, she never left her room not on her father's watch. She was a prisoner in her own home spending time with her maids they were the only ones who knew her better than her own mother. It was a disgrace to her and the entire family.

While sitting down on the terrest,
The cold wind blew calmly as if whispering something  swaying her long dark hair.

She took out the amulet her mother gave to her.
This is a symbol of her mother's love, unaware of its powers,but now she felt that her mother never loved her, she looked at it gently, she always wondered why it glows blue whenever she put it on.

She carefully examined the amulet as the wind blew harshly making her shiver and loosed her balance, but some how managed to make her balance but unfortunately the amulet fell into her savior's pocket " no".

" Mother said never to take it off"  but it was too late. The stranger was on his way already while striving to get down she got distracted, his face was opened but she couldn't see it, his hair was loosed down, and the wind used his hair as a play thing.

" Could he be the one" she thought but was not convinced.
She cried helplessly not know what to do. "What can I do now" she ransacked her brain, she had no chance of winning an argument against the king, she could not change his mind now, not when he had made up his mind.
"This is bád" she thought.
While thinking the cold wind brushed her skin making her shudder.
In all she could think of, she couldn't think of any other solution than to escape.

Escaping was not an option for her it was a do or die decision, but she couldn't bring herself to do it .
The cold breeze blew harshly again, bit now she seemed to be enjoying it. She closed her eyes letting the wind have its way.

"Your highness you should come inside now it's getting colder as the seconds pass by" a female voice interrupted her.
When she turned back she found Delia with a blanket and Lydia standing next to her.

"I wonder how you could beat this cold harsh air, but it's way too cold out here and I think a storm would break out tonight" before Lydia could finish talking the rain started dropping, only then she listened.
She came down from the terrest and went towards them.
Delia wrapped the blanket around her body while she tried to hide her face from the both of them.
