we were escorted by the royal guards inside the palace and Alonso was just refusing to leave my side. I was getting so angry by each passing moments I felt like ripping my hair away from the frustration I was feeling.

" dear princess, I know you are tired and as I said excuse those idiots on my behalf for the blow day inflicted on you I will get a doctor to check your right away" After all he said I literally forgot about the huge blow I got on my head. It was still hurting but the things he said to me were more important than the pain I was feeling.

Alonso was the crown prince of his empire , the georgian empire to be precise . He was actually very loved by everyone and well known in the continent , and he was really good friends with my brother .

This is one of the main reasons why my father and my brother and also his family decided to pair us together when we get old he was really excited for this idea but I was never with it. I was always trying to run away and just hide from that matter.

A girl came towards me and wanted to escort me to my room at this point. I just wanted to be alone so I just followed her and left Alonso behind  . The girl treated my wound very carefully and I complied with her

" I am so sorry for this princess. You are supposed to be a bride in a few days and look at what they have done to you" I looked at her furiously " don't say future bright anymore. I don't want to hear that bullshit"

She looked at me surprised as if I said the most atrocious thing ever  " but we have been preparing for this and everyone knows that you are getting married to prince alonso" she finished bandaging the wound as she spoke .

" I don't know what that psychotic maniac told all of you but he lied. He is the biggest liar in the universe. I've never agreed to marry him nor did I come here with my own will" i ranted to her and she looked really deranged .

" but princess, they said that you have been kidnapped by the ottomans and he got you back" cuffed and I looked at her with a smile very sarcastic smile .

" huh , I almost forgot who I was dealing with . Of course he would lie about his heroic act and he rescued me from the bad people when actually he is the bad one in the story he kidnapped me without my will and now he's telling me that he's going to marry me in few days ?" at this point I was just lashing out at the girl and I felt really bad for her, but I had to say this to someone I had to explain to people what this psychotic was doing.

" I understand but I just want you to know that it is not that  bad as it seems princess . many girls would want to be in your shoes but prince alonso have always been so straightforward in this matter and everyone knew that you were going to get married in the future" she was arranging all her stuff that she treated me with .

" of course you would praise him and always see him as the knight in shining armour" I rolled my eyes and sat down " Whatever I am not going to marry him and this is my final decision I don't care what happens. I don't care if both empires get in bad terms but I am not doing this. I am not going to risk my life and my future and live with him forever." i concluded and she gave me a very apologetic smile and deep down. I knew that she wished I was going to change my mind but in no way I was going to do that.

I saw the girl leave and when she left, she closed the door with keys. Everything I discovered was buff into me. He kidnapped me and now he's locking me in my room. This was next level and unbelievable

I didn't have the energy left to fight or speak anymore. I just sat in the room and waited for something to happen .

I felt so bad  , Mustafa is thinking that I am a traitor and that I have run away with Alonso . It made me feel horrible, i was now definitely getting called names back there but i just wish they will find out the truth

It it was already obvious I had nowhere to go unless they find me . but for now i just decided to gather myself and adapt to this new situation .

The maids brought in some food for me and i just ate in silent , it was way too depressing here . I was locked up like I was some criminal , this says a lot about him as a person .

" Princess" the girl from earlier came back again and brought some dresses with her .

" do you think I am in the right mood to choose or listen to whatever you came to tell me?" at this point i was fed up with everyone even her .

She gave me a faint smile forcing herself to be nice , i knew i was being so mean, but what if they were in my shoes? They would have acted the same way.

" the queen mother is asking for you" she put three different dresses on my bed and i just followed her with my eyes .

" am I never going to catch a break? What do they want from me?" i sighed in annoyance and the girl seemed surprised at my reaction .

"What is your name ?" i asked as i got up to take a closer look at the dresses she put " my name is Catalina your highness and I will be assisting you from now on" I know that and touch the fabric of a dress .

" I hope you don't get used to me because I am not staying here a lot. I'm just a guest you know" i admitted and she was not looking amused by anything I said at this point everyone thought I was crazy .

"I'm joking" i added to ease her a bit . After that, she helped me put on a new dress and get ready. I was already dreading to meet the queen mother but I couldn't refuse seeing her , I was already familiar with her and she was really nice so I thought maybe if I expressed my true feelings and my intentions she would just let me go at the end she would Her son to marry someone that doesn't love him back .

At least that was what I thought because if I wasn't her place, I would immediately say no .

Catalina then escorted me outside to me the queen mother and the throne room , their palace was so huge and I couldn't help but admire but still the ottoman one was more charming maybe because I got used to it but it was much different. The vibes were much better.

" Stella , I am glad you are here get in please" the Queen mother welcome to me as I stepped in , I smiled as I walked her down to her courtesy .

" I heard that the trip was difficult for you , I am so glad that you have decided to come back by your own will" there is again what was scared of brainwashed into thinking that I came here with my own wheel so he would make it hard for me to say no .

" yes, it was a difficult one, but I am really happy to see you doing well your majesty" she offered me a seat which i took gladly .

" I am so sorry I offer you my condolences for what happened. I know that you and your family are going through a hard time , and I wish your father was still alive to witness your wedding" She was right my father would have loved this and it just hits me that I wouldn't want to upset him and say no but .. I didn't want this and I know that even if he was alive and I said no, he would respect my choice and not force me to do it .

" Thank you your highness" my tone was getting gentle each time i spoke with someone here " but I have to admit something" she looked at me surprised .

" what is it? Is everything okay? Do you like it here or did someone tell you something or upset you?" she bombarded me with questions but what I was going to say was definitely not going to please her.

" I am so sorry but I don't see myself in this marriage. I know how great of people you are and I am forever thankful for everything you have done to me ever since I was a child but Alonso put me in a very difficult situation. I did not come by my own will , he dragged me here by force and is now holding me hostage." her mouth at confession and her eyes squinted slowly .

" But- but everyone knew that this was going to come through one day I don't know why you are surprised" I was taken aback by her reaction but I still continue on being nice .

" I know I know that but I am so sorry but minds change and now I'm a grown-up and I can take my own decisions.

« I am sorry to break your expectations. I know this is how it works between kingdoms but this is not something I see myself and even if I marry him, I will make him unhappy and so will he . This is never going to work." i tried to explain to her and make it easy to digest.
