"my princess you look beautiful" Zoey my head maid complimented
I smiled brightly at her , as I stare at my reflection on the mirror. my skin was white but still glow cause I lived most of my life under water . my eyes were the colour of the deep blue ocean, with my long golden brown hair which was let loose, I wore a sliver off shoulder dress which made me look even more beautiful with my light makeup
*knock*knock*
"my princess , breakfast is ready " the maid came in and said bowing
"thank you" I said without turning back
" good job"
I stared at my reflection on the enchanted mirror again before stepping out .
......
I strode down the hall way to the dinner room , passing the kitchen which was usually noises from the maid chatting non-stop I just kept on walking untill I heard a certain maid say
"have you heard , the queen mother says the devil king is coming to the palace in less than three days"
numerous gasps followed after that .
I continued walking not really paying attention to what they were saying untill there voice completely fade out. I walked a little more and got to the two big doors , I took a deep breath before pushing the doors open and step inside
all eyes briefly turned to me before turning back to their meals
my father the king was sitting at the head of the table with the queen mother and her two children at the right and my mother and I at the left
I took my sit beside my mother after greeting my father and also my step mother which she ignored
" you look beautiful "
" thank you father"
with that we all began to eat
"the king of the great Vulcan kingdom will be arriving here in two days time " he pause and chew a bit of the food in his mouth " in order to pick a wife among the two of you "
what!! I was shocked and wore a worried look on my face unlike my step sister who was arrogant , greedy , jealous , and want nothing but power which she could kill to get. was already jumping with excitement
" o mother I am getting married" she said as if the king sent a letter directing his proposal to her
"I have made plan " my father continue speaking" for him to choose Amanda "
relief watched through my face but how was he going to make it possible without offending the king in any way
"you are to act sick and not live your quarter upon his arrival , that way making Amanda his only option". to my step sister she thought my father favoured her but according to history the Vulcan king was a beast in human form always wore a mask and was nickname the devil but my stepsister didn't know that because she spend all her time putting on excess makeup and looking pretty fitting the phrase which said "beauty with no brain"
I was thankful but didn't show it as to make them satisfied with their unknown foolishness
" thank you Father , I am glad you picked me and I promise not to fail you"she said with a bright smile
with that we all continue eating
when we were done we when to our various quarter .
awaiting the arrival of the Vulcan king in two days which came very fast with a shocking event
