Fate. Just a fancy word for a path chosen by others. Others who'll decide where you'll live, who you'll live with, and you're whole future. That's how it's always been. Especially for the heir to a throne as powerful as my fathers. As his daughter, I have to be wedded to a man who I barely know. To a man who's much older, wealthier, and uglier than I. I'm a trading object. To settle foreign affairs, I'll have to wed a prince from them, and will never see my family again. My fate has been decided for me. Until, "he" came along. After being captured by pirates, I'm afraid I'll never see my family again. Or my "husband" for that matter. Which isn't so bad. The pirate who captured me is better than the ones I've heard in stories. The ones about the angry, hideous men who pillage towns and rape women. He's better than that. Maybe this is my fate.
