One day Avya gets married off to prince Gavril Aldrich of Eira, heir to the throne of the nothern colonial lands. While the king promises himself to annex the greatest weapon nation of the wide lands though the Eiranian folk is known to be extraordinarily barbaric and belligerent, he doesn't realise that the prince is hiding a dangerous secret:
All of his previous wives, just like Avya's husband's, have dissapeared under weird circumstanes.
And Avya is bound to be the next.

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
