The Royal Exchange

New Home

Jezelle awaked stirring in her sleep until she hit a surface, Was the room that small or something that hard able to stay on a bed. She began feeling the surface  and it felt... fleshy? She immediately jolted her hand away and looked at the supposed surface she was feeling

It was the same man from the forest, She was married for Christ's sake and even of she loathed and hated her husband  that still didn't give this man the right to climb into her bed.

"WHO ARE YOU, AND WHERE AM I?", She asked screaming. "Oh my God, shut up its too early for this", he said huskily, his voice still remaining in her head, though she vaguely remembered anything from last night, his voice she could not forget. She pursed her lips tightly  together disheartened, who did this man think he is She didn't even know him and nonetheless he dare lie in a bed with her.

"I am pretty sure I asked you a question", She repeated again.

The strange man just stood up from the bed and went into a door at the end of the room she guessed to be bath room, leaving her utterly confused and fuming.

Few minutes later, he came out in regal attires dressed up as a king or something

"I am your husband, the maids will come to get you ready for breakfast" I was shocked surprise even this gorgeous man was my husband. the same person who left me on the altar to do my wedding ALONE. the same man who rescued me from the forest.

"Where am I", I asked back.

"The royal castle", he said straightforwardly.

"Huh but how did i get here i thought it took two days to get here"

"It does, well the capital I don't live in the capital. I will take my leave now"

"Wait! What do I call you or what is your name?"

"Azaren"

"Azaren... hmm interesting name", i mumbled to my self.

He walked out the room and immediately a bunch of maids just barged  into the room smiling and whispering to themselves excitedly. Some of them spared a glance to Azaren who didn't even blink an eye at them. What was so exciting about dressing someone up. At her home the maids never liked to dress her up  or maybe they just hated her. They acted like they were asked to carry a huge load of bricks. So she never called for a maid to help her again, with anything for that matter. 

She was taken to a bath were rose petals lay in the water. She stepped inside and surprisingly the water was warm, she wasn't expecting it because there was no steam coming out from before. The maids began to wash her but her mind was still in turmoil and deep thoughts.

Why was the proclaimed prince not living in the actual capital?, why did he have his own castle somewhere 2 days a way from the actual kingdom? What happened to the coachman? What about the creatures and How did Azaren find her? And his eyes they were red bright red how?

The maids took me out of bath and began to dress me up. My red hair was put in luscious curls and styled so well, She always looked at her hair and wondered why it was that color. Red. Everyone disdained her because of her hair, Even when she was born her father had accused her mother of cheating because no one in their family had ever had red hair, She even wondered if that was the reason why her father had married her off. He probably just looked for anyone who was of high status. He would probably give her to a man old enough to be her grandfather if he could, The only person that probably truly loved her was her mother and she still did nothing, It was true her mother loved her hair she'd always call her unique, but she still did nothing. 

She remembered the day her father told her she was getting married...

She was  outside playing archery shooting her arrows. "Your Highness your father has requested  to see you" Her father wanted to see her? He hadn't wanted anything to do with her since well basically since she was born. She dropped her bow and arrow smoothened her gown and went into the throne room where her father was seated with her mother beside him. She looked at her father but there was no emotion in his eyes, then she glanced at her mother and her mother looked like she was deeply troubled beneath that calm demeanour. "Father, Mother", she bowed her head slightly, "Why have I been summoned", she asked.
