You know when you are happy one moment, then the next something terrible happens?. That happened to me. This is a story about how my life changed with a single word. "MARRIAGE".

I'm princess Emily, most people call me Millie. I'm 23 and the next to the throne. Being a princess is not the life I want to live. My dad have a believe that we are different from other people. We use magic and My dad told me that I have a special magic. When he told me that I didn't believe him u till it happens out of nowhere. And I was asked to never use it again.

"Rise and shine, Millie". A female voice said.

"No, five more minutes". I groaned.

"No, your father wants you to join him for breakfast and you have guests coming today".

"Ugh. Who are we expecting again?". I asked getting up the bed.

Yeah. Being a princess is hard. I can't even get enough sleep. We are having guests over from a nearby kingdom, and I have to welcome them.

"King Nicholas and his son prince Vincent". Molly replied.

Molly is my personal servant since I was five. I took her in after her parents died. She was the only child and her parents told my dad to take care of her. Molly's dad was the best knight my dad ever had until he died.

"Do I really have to go?". I ask going into the bathroom.

"Yes and it's not going to be that bad. If I were you I would go. I heard prince Vincent is good looking". She said.

I scoffed. Yeah right. He is a jerk. He is so annoying. I met him once at my 20th birthday. I remember he dropped his cake on my dress and didn't even say sorry. It's not hard to say sorry. He just walked off when everyone crowed saying sorry. So since then he is my enemy.

"Oh please, who will like a guys who has no humour and manner for other people". I say frustrated.

I walked into the bathroom and start my morning routine. I walked out of the bathroom in my blue floral gown. I walk to my make up mirrow and sit on the chair. Molly went straight to getting my make up done. I am still amazed by her make up skill. After she was donen, I have put on my shoes and ready to leave.

"Thanks Molly". I said getting up from the sit and walking towards my door.

She nodded and followed behind me. When I got to the dinning room, mom and dad are already there with my brother, Hector. Hector is 17 and training to be a knight. My dad wasn't proud of that idea, but let him do it. I kissed me mom on the cheek and did the same for my dad. As I was about to sit, a guard came in announce that King Nicholas and his son prince Vincent has arrived.

Ugh. Just when I'm about to eat. Worst timing. We all left the dinning room to greet them. When we got close to them. My dad and king Nicholas hugged each other and laughed. We all stood there waiting until they were done. After what felt like eternity, we walked back to the dinning room where more dish was served. Vincent didn't even, for once look at me or talk to me. What a jerk.

"So, princess Emily, how is it going?". King Nicholas ask.

"It's been going great so far nothing interesting". I replied uninterested.

"Anyone in mind to marry?".

"Not really. I'm not ready yet. Why do you aks?". I replied curious.

King Nicholas shook his head no. I looked at him with narrowed eyes then went back to eating. I was eating when I felt like someone was watching me. I looked up and caught Vincent staring at me. He looked away and went back to eating. I was busy eating and didn't realize that my dad have been calling me.

"Emily". My dad called.

I looked up and answered him.

"I have something to tell you". He said.

"Okay? Go on". I replied and took a sip of drink from my cup.

"We want to merge the two kingdoms together and in order to do that you have to marry prince Vincent". My dad said cautiously.

I choked on my drink. I started coughing, noticing that my mom rubbed my back gently.

"What?!!". I screamed, my voice hoarse from coughing.

"We want you to marry prince Vincent so we can merge the two kingdoms". My dad replied.

"Why? Dad you know that I can't do that. I'm not even ready for marriage yet.". I said emphasizing the word marrige.

"Sorry Emily but we already made the decision. If you can't do it for me, do it for the kingdom, for your people".

"Decision? Without even asking me? Why?."

"We think it will benefit both kingdom". King Nicholas replied

"Is there no other way than getting married? I don't want to get married." I said annoyed.

"You have to". King Nicholas replied nonchalantly.

I scoffed and looked at my dad. He looked away when he come my glance.

"Mom, did you know?". I asked looking at her.

" I'm so sorry Emily. I should have told you". She replied her eyes tears in her eyes.

I looked around the table and no one said anything else. I felt mad, betrayed. I got up and walked out of the dinning with my dad calling after me. I can't believe he did that. He just literally sold me to merge the kingdoms together. I walked into my room and slammed the door shut. I flopped down on my bed looking up at the ceiling. My stomach grumbled and I groaned ignoring it. I didn't even finish the tasty and delicious breakfast I was eating. I sighed and sat up walking to my window.

I looked up and saw king Nicholas leaving with my dad beside him. They were talking. My eyes trailed to Vincent. Did he know?. Did he agree? . Feeling like someone was watching him, he turned around and looked up making eye contact with me. I closed my curtain and walked into my bathroom. I took another shower and changed into a white simple dress.

I walked out of my room going into the garden [https://img.wattpad.com/5787e881fb3abee4aed0debda60c0adf89ad976f/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f6a4a516d524579676933305f35773d3d2d3930373138353231302e3136333561396563303937656561323837303637333936323533362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

I walked out of my room going into the garden.

I walked around and stopped at the fountain [https://img.wattpad.com/d7fd9b649a9bc1bb6776a32485b6819dbebc6e9e/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f674c2d7955485946445f304a35513d3d2d3930373138353231302e313633356161323563636334393938383338343433393530393238382e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

I walked around and stopped at the fountain. I sighed and rubbed my temple feeling a headeach from all the thinking about what happened a few minutes ago.

"Millie". A soft voice called.

I turned around. Molly was walking to me. She stopped in front of me and smiled.

"It's beautiful". She said.

"Yeah". I replied Turing around.

" Are you okay?". She ask.

" Not really. I mean it's just hard to believe that he will do that." I said turning around walking back to the palace.

" I was not expecting that but don't worry about it much." She assured me.

"How can I not worry? My happiness is being sold and you know I don't like Vincent. I mean out of all people and it's him?". I say frustrated.

Molly chuckles and help on to my hand.

"Come on, I know what will take your mind off about this." She says dragging me to the door leading outside.
