The Thought of You ~Garroth X Cadenza~

"Cadenza, your father needs to speak to you." My guard said opening my door.
"Alright. I will be right down." I said setting down my book. As I walk downstairs I'm greeted with my brother, Laurence at the bottom. He escorts me to the main hall. "Laurence, you know I could walk by myself right?" I giggle at the fact my brother is escorting me through our own kingdom. "Well, I need to learn how to be a loyal knight, right?" He said opening the door as we entered.
"Laurence. Cadenza. I have good news." My father said sitting in the middle throne, next to Laurence's and mine.
"What is it father?" Laurence asks.
"Well, the 20th anniversary of the kingdom is coming up. So, we shall have an elaborate party." Our father says, looking over a document on the top of a large stack.
"What does that have to do with us?" I say
"More like you my darling daughter." He says looking up from the papers
"Father, what do you mean?" I say curiously walking closer to him.
"You will be meeting every young man attending, to see which one to marry." He says going back to the papers.
"Father!! Marriage!! She is younger then me. Aren't I supposed to marry for the kingdom?!" Laurence says losing it.
"Laurence, enough! You are, but she needs to marry for allies." my father says standing.
"Father.....please...." I say tears flowing from my eyes.
"That is it. You two may leave." He says.
I run out the doors and into the village with Laurence chasing me. I lose Laurence in the crowd of people and run into someone muscular.
"Princess. Are you okay?" the person says. I look up, glancing at the person through my tears. It was the mysterious guard, who wore a covering around his face. He decided to take me inside a nearby restaurant when he realized I was crying. Once inside, he wiped away the tears on my cheeks.
"Princess, are you alright?" He asks me again.
"Yes. I am fine sir. Thank you." I say turning my back towards him as I walk out the door.
