Evelyn sat back on her chair, eyes widened, she trembled ,her body shook at the realisation and weight of what she has just done.
"Evie tell me why have you suddenly gone mute"Queen Victoria asked
"Evelyn you've done the right thing, your parents promised something and they must keep to it at all cost no matter what it is"
The heavenly lord said appearing Infront of them. They all had to cover their eyes from the blinding bright light that immersed from him.
The heavenly lord left after his speech leaving Evelyn and her parents alone. Her parents looked at her with mixed feelings on their faces.
Disgust
Disappointment
Shame
Helplessness
King Dave was mute so as her mother, He looked at her and started upstairs.
The reporting staff stopped him on his tracks, with a news.
"His highness Zafil, sent his greetings to King Charles David and his beloved bethrothed, He wishes to visit and officially complete the necessities and make Princess Evelyn his bride, after all he deserved his prize for being chained up for many years "
"Me a prize"
"Get ready daughter, after all this was all you wanted,"
Two weeks later
The news of Zafil's return spread like wildfire across the world. Everyone blamed Princess Evelyn of course and said she was the one who caused the ruin of her future. Evelyn had been silent for weeks, she didn't say anything and hid in the shadows of her misery and ruin.
She heard the whispers but didn't say anything, her warm and fun spirit had been replaced harshly.
" Evie you don't have to blame yourself for all this" Queen Victoria said. She was passing through the corridors looking for her when she spotted her sitting in the veranda of the palace
Evelyn turned at her mother stood and walked gracefully away.
"Don't walk out on me"
Evelyn stopped in her tracks turned around
"When is he coming" Her voice cracked
"Look my dear it doesn't matter if he comes or not, you need to think about yourself first your becoming a ..... Shadow of yourself dear"
"Leave her be ,woman" King Dave said.
Evelyn looked at her father and walked away
"Evelyn ....." Queen Victoria called out
" It's all right she'll come around, she's going through a lot right now"
Evelyn entered her room and slumped on the bed. It still felt like a dream to her, and she wanted to wake up from it so badly it could kill. She wanted to curl somewhere no one will find her. Tears rushed out of her eyes like waterfalls. She couldn't believe all her dreams were going down the drain all because of her silly mistakes. This wasn't the life she planned on living, she didn't want to be locked up in a cell under the captivity of a terrible, heartless demon.
It now became clear now, what was she thinking, she was born not to have the best life, she was born a princess and princesses had no say in their own life, she had no right to chose her mate
"This is so unfair"
Evelyn screamed her lungs out.
