Chapter 3

"Wake up. We need to start." The voice of my mother didn't calm me down as it usually does. I knew what was waiting and my heart began to pound just by thinking of it.

"Wait..." I said while sitting up from the couch and looked around in the room. "Why is everyone here?"

All the neighbours that knew me were standing in the living room, chatting with each other.

"They wanted to see you and say a proper goodbye since you'll be gone for the whole day."

They hadn't noticed me yet and before they did, my mother dragged me into the only room in the barrack with a door. Damn it, now I'm even more nervous knowing that they all had come here for me.

"Did you tell them to come?" I asked as she began placing everything we would need on the floor while I sat down on a chair in the middle of everything.

"No, but I think it's sweet of them."

"Yeah, but it won't be the last time I see them. Right?" My mother didn't answer me, which made a lump grow in my stomach. "Can you stop acting like it's such a big deal? You make me nervous."

"It's just..." She said as she positioned herself behind the chair, brushing her small fingers through my hair. "If I was a prince I would easily choose you. You're the prettiest and most caring girl I've ever met."

"Hahah, stop!" I laughed and gently hit her arm, which made her chuckle too. The atmosphere immediately became better and we both ignored the thought of what would happen if I actually got chosen.

The dress was the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn and I could barely walk straight. Luckily my mother didn't force me to wear high heels, only ballerina shoes. Probably because she knew I wouldn't be able to walk in heels. I looked at my reflection in the window in the room and I was shocked by myself. I've never looked like this before. My hair was brushed through over a hundred times and my face looked fresh with a slight bit of makeup on. The silk dress shrouded my body perfectly; the top part was dark pink and further down the dress it faded out in light pink.

I thought I would feel beautiful and gorgeous. But I felt so damn fake. This isn't me. I'm not this kind of girl and I'll never be. This damn king and queen are forcing us to be pretty, sweet and obeying girls and I hate it. I fucking hate it so much that I don't think I have any limits anymore. They have destroyed so much in this world and they won't even realize it. If I pass so far that the risk of getting chosen is big, I'll do anything I can to show them how much I fucking hate them.

"Come out now Y/N!" My mother suddenly shouted that had left the room to tell the others that I was ready. "We're waiting!"

I became flustered for looking like this and the thought of that all the people I've ever known was standing behind the thin wall right beside me.

"Woaw." They gasped as I walked out because they've never seen me look like this and they've never seen a dress like this. I smiled and looked down embarrassed.

"You look amazing." Someone said and the sweet voice made me look up again. My eyes met Gi's which were moving up and down my body slowly. He was admiring everything and it made my cheeks turn pink which actually matched with the dress.

"If I was a prince I would choose you right away." He smiled which and his words made my mother hit me on the shoulder.

"That was exactly what I said!" She exclaimed and we chuckled, but the laughter didn't last too long.

"You need to go now. The time's soon up." My dad said while he looked down at the tiny clock he had around on his wrist. I nodded and quickly glanced at everyone before mumbling a quiet 'thank you'. I appreciated that they all had come for me, but I didn't like to have that much attention. Being in the very center is not my thing. Before we left I also gave Gi a quick hug which caused me to immediately feel calm.
