Forced To Marry The King
I'm so stressed
I have fittings every 5 minutes, servants running everywhere for decorations, and so much to do.
Except me
I sit here, wait, eat, sleep, repeat. Every single day. I want to help decorate my wedding, I want to pick out the flowers for my wedding, and pick out my wedding dress.
When I was at my old kingdom I would have never thought about doing this stuff. I guess I had hoped things would be different here.
About 5 maids came in with 2 more dresses. I have so far not liked anything they have brought in. I am a very simple person liking very little bling and not super tight.
"The king wishes for you to try on these last 2 dresses." An older maid said. She seemed frightened or nervous. I nodded perhaps actually ending up liking one of these.
Both dresses were pretty but they were so much. I can guess that many allies from other kingdoms will show up at this wedding. My dress is another way to show off the kingdoms riches and power.
"Does the dress truly have to have so much sparkle and gold to it?" I asked. I don't really know who I was asking. I think the ladies but to be honest I think I was speaking to myself.
"Yes it does, dismissed." I heard a voice say, a mans voice. I turn to see the king, my dear loving husband (sarcasm there) in the doorway.
As all the maids leave with their heads down and almost in a hurry the king walks towards me. He towers over me, if I wasn't married to him I'd think he'd kill me.
He just might
"Why?" I ask desperation slightly in my voice, but there. "Because I said so, and unlike your poor desperate kingdom we show our power because we have it." He said and took a seat at the table.
"I like this one (2nd picture) more" I said. I mean it was a gorgeous dress just not for me. "Good now you can help with some other things for the wedding." He said not really caring. "Such as?" I asked. "You'll see." He said and walked over towards the door. "Change and meet me in the throne room. A guard will be outside the door waiting for you." He said and walked away.
He is giving me more freedom at least
