My maids were in my room doing my hair and putting one of those waist tightening things around me squeezing all the air out of me. I stayed still and they kept tugging at me hair and claiming that it's too wild and too much to handle. I love my fringes, curls and curls and more curls! For some reason it's not lady like to have hair like mine. 'What a horrid job they did!' I heard a voice in my head my eyes going wide. 'Who are you?" I asked but the voice vanished. "My lady! Dinner is ready and the wedding dresses are here for you to pick out." My favorite maid said. "I'll be right down." I replied. She bowed and left my room. I sighed and took a quick glance at myself in the large mirror. "Why?" I questioned once again and headed down the stairs again.
"My dear!" The prince says with that smug face as always. I despise him so much. "Do not call me that." I said and he frowned. "But my sweetheart we're getting married soon!" He said trying to sound calm and steady. "I will never marry." I said and he lost it. "You will marry me and bare my children understand!" He yelled grabbing my wrist. I winced as he dropped me onto the ground. "Understand?" He said going back to his calm self. "I hate you." I said and he kicked me. He snapped his fingers and a guard picks me up and carries me to my room. I recognize the guard and see it was the king's brother. "Zane." I said and he shushed me as we walk past a couple guards. When we get to my room he opens the door and lays me on my bed. "Please don't turn down my brother, I hate him for hitting you in such a way." He said holding my hand. I smile weakly at him. "I will not marry him." I said and he sighed and kissed my forehead. "I will find away to escape with you. You will be my wife?" He asked. My expression changed from hate to kind. "Of course." I said making his eyes glisten.
Zane's always been there to defend me and to take care of the wounds the prince would leave on me. Since the first day I came he's treated me with nothing but kindness. He brought me food and gave me sweet kisses. "I'll sneak up food for you my queen." He said hearing footsteps. "Thank you guard, you are excused not." I said as he got up the prince enters. "Prince Garroth!" Zane said bowing. "Yes, Roslinda, you will be seeing the dresses now?" He asked me and I stayed quiet. "The mistress it exhausted, may I suggest rest first and late she chooses your highness?" Zane said and Prince Garroth thought and nodded. He leaves and Zane glances back at me. "Choose a dress later than mistress and the wedding will be in a week." He said and I frowned and began to cry. "Rose..." He said and hugged me. "We'll escape." He whispered and I smile and kiss him on the lips. "Save the kissing till we get married my future wife." He said and I nodded and he stood once again and left.
