My mom use to tell me 'in the world we live in, we women have no right or say on our lives' *chuckles* who would have thought I'll experience it first hand.
I was just 15 years old barely of age, when my father the king accepted my marriage proposal from the kingdom of Hertia in regards to ending the war between both kingdoms,but what can i say it's not in my place to say No or Yes, I didn't have that power and I might never do.

*Inside The Queen's Chamber*
"Please do something about this mother, I can't get married to a man i barely know"
I shouted in protest to my mother after my father the king had summon me to tell me about the marriage proposal.
"What do you want me to do? go to your father and fight him?!...*sigh* Isabelle the is nothing I can do, nothing we can do but for you to just accept it" she said sitting down drinking tea.
"How can you say that...so you will rather sacrifice my happiness, my life for something father caused himself!"
"ISABELLA!!!"

"Fine then I'll do as you say but I'll never forgive you *teary* if you'll excuse me your highness * bowed*" I walked out of her room that day vowing to become powerful enough so that no one will dictate my life anymore.
After the fight with my mother I was 'prepared to be sent off to my new husband away from home in a new kingdom...to start a new beginning at just 15 years old.
#2 month later# (day of departure)
The day I dreaded finally came, the day I'm to leave for another kingdom...to my husband. I was lost in thought infront of my dresser that I didn't notice my mother enter the room till she was behind me.
"You look beautiful "
Startled I looked up from my hands and into the mirror where our eyes met, putting her hands on my shoulder she looked at me with a loving gaze, scaring my emerald green ball grown adorn with detailed gems, hair up in a bun decorated with hair ornaments and light makeup.
"Just one thing missing " saying that she took off her locket like pendant and put it around my neck.
"Mother..." tears fell from my eyes cause I knew how precious the locket was to her.
"This belongs to you now, just as my mother gave it to me before I left my home, I'm giving it to you now"
*knocks*
"Come in"
"Your highness, his majesty request for the princess"
"I see you may wait outside, I'll bring her myself"
"As you wish your highness"*bow and left the room*
"I know our last talk was anything but pleasant, but I want you to know if I had a way to stop you from leaving I would have done so and I'm sorry for failing you"
"...you didn't fail me mother..you never did"
"Hmm....then clean your tears we don't want to keep your father waiting"
Those were the last conversation I had with my mother. As I walked out to the castle gate with my mother and servant behind me i realised this is my reality now and once I leave the is no turning back and my father will never care after all I'm just a girl.
" you look beautiful "
I looked up slightly to my left facing the king who stood with my two brothers and knights around them.
"Thank you your majesty" I said while bowing
*nodding slightly* "Umm seems like you have been taught well over the month..*sigh* let not waste anymore time, this journey to the Kingdom of Hertia will take 5 days and worry not 3 maids and 10 elite knights will accompany you on your journey to keep you safe and tend to your every need.
