An Unfair Marriage

♡Chapter 4: Midnight Snack♡

 It’s been a week since the kiss Sasuke and [Name] shared , not once have they spoke about it. [Name] hasn’t been acting like herself since then.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Name]’s P.O.V

For the past week I have been staying in the prince’s castle, not once could I leave to see my parents no matter how much I wanted too. I stared at myself in the mirror looking down at my dress[Royal White Dress] “Miss [Surname] his majesty is ready for you” a maid called out to me from behind the door. I placed my heart locket necklace around my neck letting a small sigh escaped my lips “ready” I tried to sound happy, as I walked out the door.

“What’s this?!” Sasuke asked looking down at my necklace “a necklace what else would it be?” I looked up at him annoyed. ‘You're just gonna act like nothing happened that night aren’t you?’. “Tsk, you’re suppose to be a princess, not only act like one but dress like one it’s not that hard, from now on you’ll wear what I gave you understand?” I looked down not wanting to make eye contact, I nodded a little “yeah…” I muttered “good” even though I wasn’t looking up at him I could tell he was smirking.

“But you could just find a real princess ya’know” I mumbled under my breath “why must you always say something after me, why can’t you just listen and say yes!” he snapped. [A/N: Each time Sasuke gave an order you would say yes but still talk after him which would irritate him you only did it for two reason No.1 you liked speaking your mind, No.2 it was fun getting on his nerves].

I was walking with Sasuke since he said I HAD to meet his father “now when we get there just stay next to me unless I or my father want you” he order. I rolled my eyes “whatever, but why am I meeting your dad anyways”.

3rd P.O.V

Sasuke had told you that his father always had to meet the princess his son marries since it’s been one of the family rules for ages. That and he wanted to see if the princess was worthy enough to marry his son and become the future queen of well everything. She had to be smart but pretty, charming but not spunky nor cocky etc. When the two of you got to the dining room you stood by Sasuke just like he asked.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you princess [Name]” Fugaku greeted seating down in his chair which was across the table. They always ate like this king Fugaku on one side and prince Sasuke across from him on a long table which made you feel out-of-place you weren’t used to seeing people eat like that, you always ate at a round table this way everyone would seem close and not so distant.

You simply nodded as the king greeted you “I must say Sasuke has never brought a princess like you over before, come I’d like to have a good look at you” he motioned you over towards him. You looked down at Sasuke slightly to see if you should go or not but he didn’t say anything nor gave you some kind of hint, so on that note you walked over to the king and stood by his side.

“Hmm very nice she dresses well, she’s cute and she puts out” Sasuke tried his best not yell but he couldn’t help it what his father was saying made him angry, he didn’t care rather you put out or not, looks weren’t everything to him only your kind heart mattered to him “FATHER!!” he snapped standing up from his chair pushing it back as he slammed both of his hands on the table.

This sudden change in emotion and behavior scared you “that’s enough…” he mumbled dropping his head. “No need to get so worked up Sasuke I’m simply telling the truth, beside Miss [Surname] doesn’t seem to mind, right dear” he looked up at you. You swallowed hard “w-well I...um…” you looked down not sure what to say. “See! She’s fine at least she’s not like your last princess sakura my god she was annoying-” he paused for in the middle the moment his eyes met your locket.

“What’s this?!” he pointed to your necklace, you blushed “it was just something i threw on” you lied. He sat back in his chair eyeing up and down your body “a princess shouldn’t be wearing this it’s worthless, go change at once” he order shooing you away like a pest.  “DAD! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!” Sasuke hissed “how dare you raise your voice at me Sasuke” they both glared at each other until Fugaku sighed in annoyance, he got up pushing out his chair “if you’re ever gonna rule this place you must learn to give orders and rule with an iron fist not your heart unless you’re no different than your brother” he spoke coldly.

He took one last look at you then left with a small smirk on his face.

---*Late That Night*

You walked the long dark halls of the castle ‘it’s worthless’ king Fugaku words wondered there way into your head making you grip the necklace your mother gave you. You stopped by one of the windows that showed the perfect round moon you stared at it “mom i’m not sure if I can stay here any longer this place isn’t met for me it’s met for a real princess”

You walked down the dark hallways so more going deeper and deeper into the dark huge castle “where the hell is the kitchen at?” you groaned sliding down a door you looked at your surroundings “forget the kitchen where am I this all looks the same… I’m lost” you dropped your head back which caused the door behind you to move and bop you a little in the head. “Hey!” you whined turning around to see the holly room you were looking for “food~!” you cheered running into the kitchen “wow so much food now lets see what should I eat” you asked yourself looking in the fridge “ahem can I help you” someone spoke. You paid no attention to the person as you grabbed a sandwich putting it in your mouth “nmope” you tried to speak. Fail.

Once you were done grabbed food you closed the door only to come face to face with gorgeous onyx eyes. You froze he smirked at you “what are you doing out of bed” you swallowed the last bit of your sandwich “I couldn’t sleep so I wandered around looking for your kitchen by the way you should really leave directions I almost got lost” he stared at you for a while before walking over to the door “well don’t get up and explore geez, let me I’ll call someone…. HEY GET U-” he started to yell down the hallway.

You covered his mouth “it’s bad enough they have to work for you all day but at night too come on give them a break I know where everything is”  you told him in a defensive way. “Tsk, fine have it your way” he rolled his eyes sitting down on one of the stools “what are you making anyways” he asked watching you put some mayo,meats and cheese on some bread “just try some” you handed it to him but he refused .

“I wont eat anything without being feed plus I don’t like mayo” he crossed his arms this time you rolled your eyes and stuffed the small sandwich in his mouth saying “just eat it!” ‘I don’t care if he is a prince he should learn to feed himself’ you thought watching him chew. “Hmm~” he nodded his head in satisfaction “not bad” he got and looked down at you then sighed “listen [Name] i’m sorry for my father’s behavior earlier” his eyes softened when he spoke these words to you which made your eyes widen in shock.

A small blush came to your cheeks “it’s ok really” you tried your best to smile to show him you were ok. But really what the king said did upset you it would have to any women that had a brain. “One other thing about the um… kiss” now Sasuke was blushing he would look down at the ground then up at you once in a while. The two of you were inches apart “I…” he leaned in closer to your face making your face redden more than before.

He looked over by the door only to see “him” he kissed your cheek “goodnight princess” he walked past you. You stood there dumbfounded putting together all the pieces of what just happened. You looked back only to see an empty hall “hm” you walked out the kitchen a small smirk pulled to your lips ‘maybe staying here isn’t so bad after all’.
