I stopped at the bottom of the staircase at a grunt that came from the window. The bombs seemed to stop and I felt my connection fizz. There was someone on the castle wall. My fingers twitched as I felt more, I counted; one, two, three... there were more than a dozen climbing straight up the castle wall. I paused in shock and then my rage came. My people, my kin, my enemy lay on the other side of the castle wall. My fingers curled into fists. Eyes flashing, I uncurled my fingers and grabbed the weapon that lay on my back. I shook the rod and it popped into a bow, springing a bow out.
I began to count backwards- 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.
I knocked every arrow with a burning rage deep in my soul- 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
My ears rung as I watched the remaining soldiers fall with an arrow in their chest. One.

He does something that takes me by utter surprise. He literally grabs my lips and pushes them together. "Don't you ever shut this mouth of yours!" I move my hands to his chest, trying to pay no mind to the heat radiating from him and give him a great push, shoving him a few steps back in surprise. "Don't touch me! Agh!" I let out before taking a breath, and with a little less force I add, "the King bought it didn't he." "Barely," he grunted. My head snapped back at him, I was fuming.

Betrothed
My life was one born in towers of gold with impenetrable windows. My life was one of nobility, aristocracy. Silver blood ran through my veins and it made me one of the Acier; a Princess of the Acier. Until those windows became ruptured. All my life I have never had the chance to breathe outside the walls of my home; then I met him. I am a girl betrothed to one I do not love yet am surrounded by people who have managed to enter the crevices of my heart. I should have known that not even my golden windows could have protected me from my destiny. I should have known that my crown would cost me my security. I should have known that all along that the only solution to cure the world was to paint my hands in the blood of those who threatened to uproot any evil we had worked so hard to hide. In that moment, I was no longer betrothed to anyone who held flesh or blood; I was betrothed to the cold steel of my sword and the promise I made to protect the lands until my dying breath. ❝ Best Rankings ❞ #25 in Princesses #49 in Feminism #95 in Warrior #49 in Silver #3 in Steel #5 in Betrothed #175 in Kingdom #361 in Princess #386 in Prince #354 in lovetriangle #2 in Royaume #2 in summer2017 #556 in WarComplete
