Chelsea's POV

"Princess Chelsea! It's time to wake up dear!" My personal maid Sarah said, walking into my bedroom.

I groaned and covered my head with a pillow, ignoring her. She chuckled and opened up the curtain of a huge window, flooding the room with annoying bright sunlight.

I pulled the cover over my head before it was rudely yanked from my body. "I don't wanna get up." I mumbled, failing miserably to get the sheet back.

"Princess, you must wake up, your parents want you to be there for breakfast." Sarah said, chuckling slightly at my actions. I groaned and crawled out of bed, stretching my body before heading to the bathroom.

I showered, brushed my teeth, and wrapped myself in a towel before heading back into my bedroom.

Sarah had already laid out what I was to wear to breakfast. I put on the annoying dress and irritating heels before sitting down at my vanity.

I stared at my reflection. I had brunette curly hair to right below my shoulder blades, my eyes were a pretty hazel, and I had a very light tan complexion. I combed my hair and pinned it back before heading out.

Ugh, my feet are already hurting, they shouldn't make me wear heels if I have to walk up and down a huge castle. I pouted to myself. I shouldn't be wearing heels period.

I made it to the personal family dining hall and greeted my parents before sitting down next to my younger brother.

"Good morning dear," my mother said, smiling. My father nodded at me and continued eating. It didn't bother me, that's just how he is.

I noticed my parents seemed to want to say something. "What is it?" I ask, the suspense killing me.

My mother started. "Well dear, you're 20 years old, and you're coronation is coming up soon, but there's one thing that has to happen-"

"You must be married to a prince in no more than 1 year or else you will not be crowned queen of Lolstia." My father said, cutting my mother off.

I sat in my seat, shocked by what they were telling me. "I have to m-marry a p-prince?!" I stuttered, upset by the news. "Why?" I demanded.

"We think you need a man to ground you, you need to start acting like a lady and learn to be a proper queen." My mother said, shocking the hell out of me. Do they not hear the sexist crap coming from their mouths.

"And what if I refuse?" I asked, frowning. My parents sighed while my brother, Caleb, looked uncomfortable at this whole situation.

"If you refuse, not only will you not become queen, but...you'll also be disowned." My mother said. I stared at my parents, not believing what I was hearing. My eyes started to water a little.

"You would really disown your own daughter?" I was extremely hurt when they nodded their heads. I stood up. "Excuse me" I turned and quickly left the room, not bothered by the fact I didn't eat.

Tears stinged my eyes as I walked as fast as I could outside. Once outside I hastily threw off my heels and ran as fast as I could into the forest before reaching a huge clearing that had a good sized pond and some gentle wildlife. I sat in the grass as tears started making their way down my face.

How could they do that to me? How could they say that to me? Their own daughter? I can't marry some prince in less than a year, most of the ones that my family know are all pompous arrogant and sexist assholes.

I wiped my face and sat watching the fish swimming in the pond and the small animals running off into the forest. I envy these animals, they're free and able to run about, able to explore, no one telling them what to do and where to go. I wish I was them, I just want freedom and adventure.

Is that too much to ask for?

I shook my head, pushing the thoughts away. I'm a princess, I wasn't born to have adventure or freedom. My duty is to do what is best for my kingdom, and according to my parents, marrying some prince is what's best.

I stayed for a while before going back to the castle. I knew I'd probably get in trouble for running off, but it doesn't matter. My parents are going to get what they want. Even though it isn't what I want.

But what other choice do I have?
