Octavia Zavoure is the first and only child of king and queen Zavoure,the next in line to the throne of their kingdom.
Her family and The Fandias's has been at war and grudge for years but when the death of her mother was claimed to be caused by the...
"Father...I'm not interested in marriage...." I got up from my stool and started walking towards the door,
"It's not your choice Octavia...you will marry and claim your place as queen,it is your duty and I intend you to do what is right...for your mother's sake" The mention of my mother always made my words feel guilty and I hated that I have to follow in her footsteps,she wouldn't want me to marry a random man of her choice,she would want me to find love on my own will...but since she's gone,my love is gone with her.
I walked through the hallway of the castle,running my hands on the ice cold walls,the sound of my heels breaking the dead silence...I knew my duty as a princess but... sometimes I just want to live a normal life,be free to do what I want,go for long walks in the forest...just be free. _______________________________________
I walked into my room to find the maids cleaning up and tidying my bed.I walked towards the belcony glass door and opened it,feeling the soft cold breeze hit my skin,blowing my icy white hair with it's rythym,'it was almost spring',my mothers favorite season. Every spring season she'd take me to the meadow and we'd lay on the cool green grass looking up at the sky and talked for hours untill eventually father found us. Ever since my mother died,my love for the sun,the warmth of the breeze and blossom season has completely gone...but the winter,the storms,the hard rain and cold winds has been my favorite season..
"Burden me your Highness...b-but his Majesty said he doesn't want anyone opening the belcony doors..." One of the maids spoke snapping me out of my thoughts,I just turned my head to the side a bit and saw her step back a bit,fear piercing throw her body,'why are people scared of me?...'
"This is my room...nobody orders me in my space.."I replied looking back at the view Infront of me,the green forest that surrounded the castle,and mountains full of snow far out.
"B-but y-your-.."
"Get out...all of you"I spoke with a low carm voice and everyone walked out shutting the door,the room fell into dead silence...'that's better.'
The night sky fell and candles were lit everywhere in the dinner room.The table was filled with different foods,chicken,meat,salads,pork,and red wine.My father was having a royal dinner with my aunties and uncles that are visiting from overseas,it's been six years since I saw them...and Zanzia,I wonder how she looks now,I really missed her,she was the only one besides my mother that I could share everything with,she was like the sister I always wanted but I do claim her as one.
"Octavia!!" My father called out from upstairs.I walked into the dressing room to find a beautiful white dress with gold and silver patterns.
