I woke up early in the morning like I always did when the maid shook me awake. "Princess Elise your mother wants to see you immediately. She said to look your best though" the maid said. I nodded and walked to the bath.

The maid always made my hot bath then woke me up. I hopped in and washed myself before stepping out and drying my body. The maid had an outfit laying perfectly on my bed.

I put it on and looked at it through the mirror on the wall. She was always the one who made my dresses and always tried to make them the way I loled but my mother always wanted something else. I didn't like showing a lot of cleavage or having extremely tight dresses. Mother always wanted me to wear stuff like that though because she said so.

The maid also did my hair perfectly. Mother always wanted my hair down which I didn't care about. She said my best cualities were my body and looks. She said I had a terrible personality because I was to kind and caring. She said a good queen should always look serious and kindness gets in the way.

When she was all done doing my hair I went downstairs to see my mother. Father was away on business, but that didn't bother me. Both of my parents were mean and cruel to me ever since I was born. I wasn't a boy so I couldn't take over the kingdom, so they adopted my step brother. I have never called him my brother because he was just as mean as they were. I should hate them but their my family and I could never.

"Good morning mother" I said when I saw her. Her and I looked similar enough to show we were related but not by much. I had soft blue eyes and long wavy blonde hair. I was about 5'6 and had a slim figure. My mother also had blonde hair but green eyes. Her features were all pointed and dramatic, mine were soft and delicate. She was 5'9 and was extremely thin as well but she worked her way to be there. I was naturally thin and didn't starve myself to get there.

"Elise, you look beautiful" she said and placed a hand over her heart. That's all she ever cared about was my looks. I could kill someone and she wouldn't even care. "Thank you mother" I said. "When you were born we were hoping for a boy. Since you were a girl your father made an agreement for you to marry the king of Proesius pronounced pro e see is"

I didn't know what to say I was slightly upset that I wouldn't marry for love but I knew this would happen ever aince I started thinking and dreaming of marriage. I didn't expect the king of Proesius though. He was said to be cruel, mean, and ruthless. I breathed in out calming myself down.

"When will he be here" I asked looking at my mother. "Tonight he will meet you and see if wants you as his queen. Tomorrow he will come back and give us his decision" she explained. I truly wanted to cry but I knew there was nothing I could do so all I did was lift my head and nod.

I went to my room and tried not to cry. Mother and father said that crying shows weakness and if I cried I would pay the price by being beaten by my father or brother and neither of them wouldn't stop until I stopped crying.

I calmed down after I fell asleep. Waiting for my husband who I don't know to arrive.
