Medici: The Legacy

Chapter 1: Coward

Aurora's Point of View:

"Aurora dinner time," Clarice yelled.
"Coming," I yelled back.
My mother clarice was always about timing. As I finished reading my book about England and there culture. I always found it so interesting how one nation could be so powerful yet a tiny little island. I ran downstairs but as I was walking down the hall I leaned against the door to my fathers study.
"Alright we're all in agreement, they will be arriving within days," Lorenzo said.
At the time I didn't realize my future was completely decided from then on.
We were at dinner eating my sister Lena was next to me. My brothers were there along with my cousin guilio.
"What was the emergency meeting you called today about," my mother asked while eating chicken.
The room went silent my father put his fork down and wiped his faces with his napkin and spoke,
"The King of England is looking for a bride for his son," Lorenzo said.
"What has that got to do with us," My mother asked.
"He has agreed that his son Gabriel and Aurora will be wed before his son can become king," he spoke with a steady ton.
After that I was furious how could he just offer my hand in marriage.
"You are joking right. The current king is brutal how do you expect his son to be any different," I yelled at him.
"Aurora I know your angry, but it's been agreed upon if I were to back out now t-th-the consequences could be unimaginable," he said.
"So your willing to send me away to gain more power, but your not going to back out of the agreement because your coward," I said. After that I threw my napkin on the table and walked away from the table in tears.
