Amabella

It has been nearly three months since I lost Greg and my father has arranged that I meet King Damian. My father has been sick for the longest time and I have been running the kingdom, but because of those ignorant bastards that are part of my father's council they will not let me be queen unless I get married.

I walk out of my carriage onto neutral land that King Damian has agreed to meet me on. My black hair is blown onto my face as a small gust of wind surrounds me. This beautiful land has always been neutral during the entirety of the century long war, but this would be the first time my Kingdom of Serendion and the Kingdom of Driadon meet.

I look around until I spot the horrible tyrant that I am here to meet. I step forward with my guards following closely behind, I don't make it far after seeing the beauty of King Damian. His dark soulless eyes catch me by surprise, their stormy grey color entrap me and it is almost as if he can see through me and straight into my soul. He's terrifying.

"King Damian," I say as I curtsey trying my hardest not to completely lose my cool " I am Princess Amabella, I am here in place of my father King Orion."

"Well then Princess let's get this over with and just surrender your kingdom." He says getting straight to the point.

" What makes you think I will ever surrender my kingdom to you. I want this war to end as much as you do, but I will never surrender my kingdom to be ruled solely by a ruthless king such as yourself." I say with a sudden surge of confidence I have never felt before as I challenge the ruthless king.

"Surrender your kingdom to me right now, and the war is over."

That's all he needed to say to break me. This war has been going on for centuries and I can't handle another loss. I already lost Greg to this stupid war.

"I will not let my kingdom become another one of your toys." I said as I looked at him.

"Then I suggest you get more guards."

"This war is stupid and you know it."

"Then concede and give me your kingdom."

"I will never let you take over my kingdom."

"Sorry princess, but in case you have forgotten, without a king you will never be a queen."

I stand there speechless for a moment before a horrible thought crosses my mind.

"Marry me... you get to add the kingdom to your territory, but I rule it ending the war and making me queen."

He looks at me with a surprised look before he regains his composure and smirks.

"If that is what you want Princess, we have a deal, but I promise you I'll make your life hell if you ever make me look bad."

Seeing the look in his eyes I realize what I have gotten myself into, but there is no turning back now.

"What the hell have you gotten yourself into Amabella?" I tell myself as I head back to the kingdom.
