"You're getting married." My older brother, Will, said as he walked into my room
"What?" I squeaked. "So you get to throw me into an arranged marriage when you gave up your title because of yours!?" I hissed as he sat on my bed.
"Little sister, I had a choice and I chose to give up the throne and pass it to you, you, however, do not. With no more little siblings old enough to take the throne, you are forced to agree to this." He said.
"GET OUT!" I yelled as he ran. I picked up my pillow and screamed.
"I've always dreamed  of falling in love. How could I ever love someone I don't even know?" I raged as my cat meowed at me.
"Sorry, sweetie, I didn't mean to scare you." I apologized to my kitten.

"Your Highness, the king and the royal advisors are here to meet with you, miss

"Your Highness, the king and the royal advisors are here to meet with you, miss. In my opinion, I would change your outfit." My lady in waiting, Michelle said.
"Thank you. I'll change and I'll be right out." I smiled as my maids quickly helped me into something more formal than my jeans.

MJ and I walked down the long halls before she wished me luck and I walked in.
"Gentlemen, I apologize for the wait." I said once I walked in and sat next to my father.

"We need to end this war!" The army general slammed his fist on the table.
"No need for violence." The Prime Minister said as he rolled his eyes.
"If I may?" Will asked sitting to my right.
"Go on." Father said.
"What if we tried at an alliance with the other kingdom?" Will tried.
"We've tried!" The general snapped.
"Let him continue, save your fury for a moment." I soothed. "Go on brother."
"It failed because we haven't anything much to offer them, our profits are slim, because all our men are at war. We need to offer them more. I have meet with queen Pepper, and she agrees with me on a plan." He said.
"WHY DID YOU MEET WITH ONE OF THEM WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!?" Father bellowed.
"Easy, father." I calmed him. "What else could we offer more then money?"
"The future king needs a bride before he can ascend the throne. Queen Pepper has offered his hand in marriage." Will said.
"Who do you have in mind?" Prime Minister, Montgomery, asked.
"My sister. As future queen, you need a husband anyway, and this could unite the kingdoms back together." Will said.
"Are you really ok with giving your little sister up to the people who killed your mother!?" Father raged.
"As much as I dislike this, what other options do we have father? If queen Pepper is in on this agreement, then king Tony would have to be as well, she has ways of getting him to agree to things." I sighed.
"And how would you know this?!" Montgomery asked suddenly enraged.
"Just watch her and Tony on the T.V, she helps him and persuades him when he does anything." I answered.
"So, what is your answer?" Will asked.
"Relay the message that I accept this proposal." I answered with an emotionless face. "I believe this meeting is done." I said as I excused myself and left.
"Send for my lady in waiting, I am needing of her assistance." I said to the maid who was waiting outside the door.
"Of course, my lady." She curtsied before she ran off to find my best friend.
