“Mother father can you tell where we are destined to?” asked Esmeralda with a sweet voice waiting for an answer. The luxurious chariot moved thorough land for two weeks. Her parents didn’t wish to tell her were she was destined to as she would probably throw a hiss. Esmeralda has loathed Michael ever since they met back when she was only seven years of age. “Mother Father?” asked Esmeralda shooting eyes of hope. Her young Features made her appear Irresistible as she is the most wished young lady back in Spain; she has only grown to be 16 years of age. Her Mother and Father wished for her to Marry King Michael behind her back so she would become Queen of England and for Spain to become part of it as England is the most powerful Kingdom Ruled by King Michael.  “I need an explanation to why you decide to keep quiet!” asked Esmeralda a bit out of place, “Young Lady respect your elder!” hissed her mother Queen Sofia. Esmeralda’s green eyes gleamed in hope “Mother please tell me is killing me” Her mother looked at Esmeralda a bit unsure, as Esmeralda’s father King Feliciano swallowed hard looking at his beloved daughter. “We decided that it’s best for you to marry my dear” Said her mother finally spilling the news. Esmeralda’s mouth opened slightly in shock as her eyebrows slightly rose. “What!?... Mother…” she laughed nervously as she shouted her eyes back and forth at his father and mother. “I’m still too young to marry!” she said raising her voice, the chariot made her body jump up and down involuntarily as it made it’s destination to King Michael’s palace…. “….Mother please tell me this is a joke I hear upon my ears!” she hissed. “Esmeralda is a decision me and your father have made, and there is no turning back” said Sofia trying to end the argument. The princess leaned forwards in her luxurious seat “You must tell me who I will marry at once mother don’t keep quiet!” she said trying to find her mother’s contact as her eyes stung with tears “Father?” she shot her eyes back at he beloved father, her father swallowed hard trying not to imagine how she will react to the answer. “You will… be marrying… King Michael” King Feliciano spilled the news to his daughter. Esmeralda’s eyebrow rose in dissolution as she swallowed hard “What!? Thus must be I joke I hear! You both specifically know I loathe King Michael, I refuse to marry his royal highness!” she said with a tear streaming down her eye. “Esmeralda I don’t recall the feeling why you have such resentment of loathing King Michael” Esmeralda crossed her arms as she shot angry eyes at her Royal parents. “Mother this is all a fraud! I don’t even know how he looks for god sakes, he is probably the same joke I met back in childhood! I bet he likes other species other than woman!” she cried in anger. Queen Sofia shot angry eyes at her “Young lady me and your father have thought you not to disrespect! And the last time you saw him was back when you where seven years of age! You don’t know how much he has changed!” Esmeralda let out a sarcastic laugh as she crossed her arms leaning back in the chariot seat. “I bet he hasn’t changed! All he talked about was world peace and Idiotic things!” “Esmeralda!” growled her father in anger “…you will marry King Michael! That’s what I and your mother decide!” Esmeralda let out a tear roll down her cheeks; she could not believe her Royal parents were making her get married at only 16 years of age! Especially with King Michael! She doesn’t know how the guy looks or acts! He is probably the same joke I met back when I was seven, she thought. She sat in her Royal silky velvet dress as she took out a handkerchief patting off the sweat of her porcelain skin.
