THE GIFTED

in my life I had been preparing for this day , the day that I would be married off to some one I don't love , to some one that will use me as a tool of power .

I couldn't get my head right for once . I knew that it will painful and had never hoped for something like that and now my parents are giving me out in marriage to a stranger, oh no . what a day.

my parents had never cared about my feeling the will always try to let me know that prince and princess come first in kingdom before desire.

but that was for the prince and not for a princess . if a King or a prince marry for alliance and didn't like his wife , he could marry another . but for a princess , the story was different all she have to do is to satisfy the prince and if he is not okay with her, he could go and meet one of his mistress. although a prince is allowed to marry more wife and have mistress.

without thinking much , I closed my diary with a loud deep breath.

"how does it feels during the night of consumption" I asked

" my princess you don't have to be worried about that " Clare said and this time a little bit serious

" yes your highness this is something that every female must face as a wife to someone " Sonia added

without hesitation I glared at the mirror in order to see the shape of my hair .

the maiden we're taking much time to get the beauty in me. warring a golden gown with white stripes then golden hairpin in my head made me more beautiful.

looking exhausted I dismissed my maid and decided to be alone. by doing so , I decided to open the curtain of the window . it has been a while and I had been waiting for this unknown groom to come and accept my family blessings before departing to a new world.

" Sophia? "

" mum"

" what's wrong darling , I have been knocking for a while? " queen asked and as well drawing the distance .

" forgive me mum I wasn't listening " I pleaded without expression and immediately turned back to the window .

" I know how how hard it will be for you but you have to .... "

" I know mum , because the kingdom need alliance and more power " I said with a soft tone, feeling sad .

" there something I need to show you before leaving " Melinda said . using her magic, she opened a portal . without wasting time I was facing a lake that had sparkles on them and reflection from the moon spotted the lake and this time making it to glitter the more .

" there "

Melinda pointed .

following the direction of her fingers , I saw my mum with my dad under a peach white tree.

" that's was the time that I had my first kiss " Melinda said as she smiled to her self .

looking at them , i knew my parents found true love , but why was mine different from the way of life .
