I push him on his chest, he takes a step back to steady himself. He stays silent for a second, not saying a word. He just stares at me with fury in his eyes. "I don't know why you are acting like we were ever anything more than just two people who have a deep rooted hatred for each other. There has never been anything between us." He talks so slowly, it almost sounds ominous. He stares at me in a confronting manner. Then he just laughs in my face, making me feel stupid. How does he find this funny?
"And there never will be." I speak up. "I will make sure of it. Our marriage will be your worst nightmare, I can promise you that."
Oh sweetheart," he tucks my hair behind my ear, I close my eyes focusing on his touch, it almost feels uncomfortable now. "No matter how bad you are, I will always be worse." He takes my chin between his fingers and forces me to look up at him. "I would watch your mouth if I were you."
I grab his wrist and pull his hand off of my face. "You know me better than that."

Sword of the Heart ~ Knight x Princess
Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice. She sees the man behind the blade, the one who bleeds and the one who hides. In stolen glances. In late night conversations and lingering silence. She begins to see the man beneath the steel. He begins to hear the voice behind her silence. But love is dangerous in a world like theirs. Because secrets are buried deep within the castle walls. And neither of them truly knows the other's past... or what their union is truly meant to ignite. He was forged to destroy. She was taught to endure. Together, they may either save a kingdom or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it? What destiny awaits when the fearsome knight's fury meets the silent strength of the quiet princess? Together, can they rewrite the fate that neither could face alone? *note~i do not own any pictures/images that are uploaded throughout the entirety of this book...all rights go to the rightful owners*

And there was no space left between them. _*_*_*_*_*_ In the heart of two ancient kingdoms, a princess draped in moonlight and sorrow was given to a prince carved from ice and iron.
