A snow white story

Tradition

"Marriage?! Father?! I'm only 17 how could you be talking about marriage already?! He's 21!!"

I shouted feeling threatened that I had to marry someone who I dislike so much.

"You're turning 18 in a few days, Marrige will be in session the next day." He demanded.

Tears filled my eyes, feeling betrayed by his words. "Father please, you know how I feel about marriage. I'm not ready for this!" I shouted in hoping he would change his mind.

"I'm sorry, Seon." He sighed. "Its a tradition that we must abide by.

I held my head down, balled my fists, furious about what my father just stated.

"So shall we continue with this meeting? Seon, you're excused." He replied turning around from me.

"Tradition..huh..?"

He turned back around facing me.

"It's always Tradition this and Tradition that!! I hate Tradition!! You and mother were already in love before knowing that you were suppose to marry her!! And that's fate. But father forcing me to marry someone I dispise!! It's like you want me to live a life of hell!!"

I paused the place was silent. 

"I know mom would've wanted this. She always told me to be patient and love will come my way. Not forced upon me.... mom would've-"

"ENOUGH!!!"

I jumped.

"Your mother isn't here. Stop this nonsense at once. I am the King, and you will listen to me!!"

My hands trembled in anger as I tried to control myself.

"You are getting married Jinhwan wether you like it or not!! And that's a order."

Anger filled my entire body my blood boiling, heart aching, I couldn't contain myself any longer.

"I HATE THIS LIFE!! I WISH I WASN'T BORN!!"

I shouted running out of the room with tears flowing from my eyes.

Jinhwan and his father watched as I ran out of the room.

"Why mother, why does he have to do this? I hate this tradition bull crap."

I sobbed at my mother's grave.

"You always tell me to be patient mom, I'm turning 18 in 2 days. It's also the 7th anniversary of your death. I don't know wether to celebrate my 18th year on this earth or  mourn your 7th year off it."

I sobbed some more.

"Please mom, please. I don't wanna get married. Especially to him. I doubt he would ever love anyone. He's so cold."

I sat in the cold snow looking at her stone, remembering that night when we talked about romance and marriage.

"I pray that you find the right one Seon, be patient hun. Love will come your way."

I closed my eyes and placed my head on the cold stone.

"I'm running out of patience in this Kingdom mother. Everyone wants me to the 'perfect' Queen, just like you were mom." I sighed.

"But I'm not like you, I'm not perfect. And I don't intend to be." I said with anger in my eyes.

"I'm not marrying anyone. Wether father likes it or not." I'm also ruler of this kingdom. Since he likes to give orders, I'll give some myself." I said smirking to myself.

My inner rebel has taken control a plan well designed in my head.

"We'll see who'll get married."

"Up and down, round and round, left right, good Princess Seon. Your ballet has improven, I'm impressed." My ballet Instructor congratulated me on my improvement.

"Thank you lady Anhyung," I said bowing.

"My best wishes for you and your soon to be husband, your highness." She added.

I paused then smiled "Thank you" I bowed.

I went to my mother's grave and stood there for a little while.

"It's my birthday mom, you would've done my hair for me, cook for me, sing for me everything. I miss it mom." I sighed.

I prayed over her for a while. Then got up.

"Please, protect me on my journey and guide me."

I got up

"I love you, mom."

I walked away and went straight to my room. Buried my face into my pillows, there was a sudden knock on my door.

I got up and opened it. "Xiumin, glad you're here we have to discuss the plan."

He nodded, and entered the room. He closed the door behind him.

"I hope you realize that this is a huge risk" I said looking at him

He nodded "I know, your highness. But I'm not doing this for the sake of my job nor life. It's my duty to protect you. I know Jinhwan, he's a very selfish individual."

"I know." I added, "I don't know what he's after my father's riches or kingdom."

He could be after both, I looked up at him. Xiumin, let's begin planning.

"Lady Seon, the carriage is here." I heard one of the gaurds said.

I looked out the window I saw my father Jungkim at the door.

I walked out the door, straight down the hallway and out the door.

Everyone was cheering throwing rice and flower petals wishing me a safe trip to the Kingdom.

I looked at Xiumin, who also caught my gaze and nodded.

I took my eyes off his and looked at my father who was smiling at me.

"You look just like your mother, Seon." He said with grief in his voice.

"Thank you father." I smiled huggung him.

We went inside the carriage.

Xiumin, the lead security gave the signal to leave the kingdom.

The carriage was filled with Body gaurds around it.

The Ride was long and quite. Until Mr Jungkim broke it.

"Don't worry Lady Seon, I'll ensure my son treats you with high respect.

I nodded, I felt a warm hand held mine. I turned to him, it was my father.

"Don't worry about anything Seon, your mother would've wanted the same thing." He said looking into my eyes showing sympathy.

My heart stopped for a while, I smiled to hide my anger and placed my hand over his.

"I'm sure she would father."

Lair mother would'nt have wanted this.

I looked out the carriage window and looked at Xiumin, winking to give the signal. He looked away and gave a signal. Suddenly.

CRASH!!

12 theives surrounded the carriage, we were out numbered. We came to a sudden stop.

"What the hell is going on out there?!"
