This is another hell of the day, the gown designer can't even decide what should you wear! You've been standing there for a whole thirty minutes and not to mention that it's almost ten o'clock.

"Well, it would be better if I pick the gown, besides it's my wedding." You suggested, with a great big sigh of tiredness.

"Oh no, your highness. Don't stress yourself, I'll handle it." She said waving her hand dismissively as a girl in front of her held two dresses.

"Get me the cocktail gown, please." She shoos the girl away. You didn't know any cocktail gowns, and what kind of a name is that? Is that even literal on the dress besides?

The same girl came back and handed Ms. Caster, the designer, the gown. The gown was lovely. "This is the most advanced design we have, it would fit you perfectly." She smiled enthusiastically. You slipped it on and feel more confident over a gown. It hugged the curved of your body.

"Oh my, it's beautiful," she said, clapping a little. You look once more in the mirror and admit that it really is beautiful.

Someone quickly barges in your room, it was one of your servants. "Oh my that's a wonderful dress," she said in trance then shook off to say the reason why she's here. "Good morning your majesty, unfortunately, king Daniel Seavey won't come to get you. It seems like you have to go to his kingdom.." she fiddled with her fingers. Your mouth fell agape.

"Is he serious? That doesn't show any manner at all! That's not how you treat a lady," you began to rant, the designer dismisses the servant so she walks out. "He's really wasting my time. But never mind that. Let's continue shall we?" You tried to hide the anger.

After the gowns and powders, you look at yourself in the mirror. It looks like you but different, everything is different.

And before you know it, you're being pushed out of the castle to enter the carriage to get to your wedding. You tried so hard not to scowl at the designer because she became so excited about your wedding more than the bride itself, in fact, you're not excited, you're distraught about it.

This is the day, the day where I will be Queen with a ruthless king, why him? It could be anyone but why him? It would be very hard to be his wife, he'll probably hide me in the dungeon and rule both kingdoms on his own. You thought.

As your carriage entered his kingdom, it's hard not to notice the gloomy tension. It's like getting lost but you're actually not. The giant castle was magnificent, it's like he divided himself from the people instead of being with the people. In his village, everyone looked at your carriage with fear- although your carriage wasn't even scary, it was white with flowers! As you looked at the window of your little door in the carriage, you see children begging for scraps. The whole people stopped at what they're doing to look at you, you smiled to them and wave a little but they didn't return the favour.

You gulped down. He's a pig, that's what he is. He let these people starve and die and him up there with a full stomach and even got a leftover. This isn't right at all, if I'm about to get married to this man, I rather not. You thought in anger.

The carriage enters the gates of the castle, and their extreme security is over the top, they asked plenty of questions to you and because of that, you yelled at them saying you're the new queen of the west. Not even a minute in his castle you already got mad. And not to mention, the guards here are pretty terrifying, they don't put that optimistic smile on their faces, unlike your guards.

The carriage came to an abrupt halt. And that rang a bell, it's your time to finally meet the one and only king Seavey, one of your guards came to open the door, you slowly peek outside to see that it's so big you couldn't see the most top tower. You gulped down and find an excuse.
