AURORA THE QUEEN OF NULAND

It was the morning of fall, the weather cloudy and the breeze cold, despite the weather, the Kingdom was happy, people danced around and made joyful noises. Aurora sat by the window watching how joyful they were, women, men and children gathered around, performing what they could. Ever since the announcement of the Queen, the Kingdom had been noisy all night and day. The sound of music, drums and shouting was so disturbing to the new Queen, Aurora Dan.

Meanwhile, Liam Dagon, King of Nuland, is dressed up and ready for his big day, finally, he decided to get married. Liam's reputation is known to be a fearful one, a rude and frightening king. This king, some say, murders brutally, and despite that, he was a great king, one to never lose or let go of his own.

The door opens and a maiden comes in, holding her hands close to her abdomen, and she spoke "Sire, the banquets are ready." She said, with her head lowered down.

"Leave" he replied, slowly she took a step backwards, and when she reached the door, she bowed and turned to leave.

"I hope she won't cause any more trouble," A voice sounded as soon as the maid left the room. Liam looks at the pretty old lady, sitting at the corner of his chambers, she looked more excited than worried.

He scoffs, and smirks "I doubt" he raised a brow at her, and she nodded, watching him adjust his belt.

"Well, Congrats, you're finally getting married, who knew Liam Dagon would wake up and announce his marriage?" She smiled at him, it was only right to return the sarcastic smile she had on, Tracy— Liam's grandmother and also the Grand Queen of Nuland.

"Thank you, Grandma." He was closer, their eyes met and he takes her hand, kissing her. "I really hope she doesn't cause any more trouble." He added.

Aurora— twenty, a girl whose vision was to become a fashion designer, she had arrived in town a month ago, and two days ago she was taken to be Queen, her life and dreams shattered for her to watch, she didn't look so happy on her wedding day, and only hoped for this to end. Despite being forced, the King was too hot, and she craved him.

She stood in the middle of the room, dressed in a white underdress, and her long brown hair flowed down her back, resting on her butt. Despite been 5'5ft she was beautiful, her honey-brown eyes shined. Aurora wasn't fat, and neither was she slim. She's a peanut butter truffle tone, the darkest of the light-skinned, her skin tends to flourish.

"Who wouldn't fall for that handsomeness," she whispered, staring out the window. Her mind played dirty tricks on her, and craved him so much, she wished she would see him again.

"Your Highness?" A voice called, so annoying and yet sweet, Aurora turned to her.

"What?" She asked, aggressively, and rolled her eyes.

The lady didn't mind her, and continued speaking "Don't," she warned, "Don't mess it up this time, okay?" She nodded, heading to the white dress placed in the room.

"Queen?" She ignores her, turning around, and watching the festival going on outside.

Who said she wanted to be queen? All Aurora had ever wished for was a normal life just without attention or trouble. She was twenty and was too young to become Queen. What decision do I have to make from now? I can't even make one for myself, she thought but there again, Liam is so pleasing his hands around her waist made butterflies gather in her stomach

"Wait a minute?" She paused, "I have to wake up to his face every morning?" Her eyes widened.

"Get ready, we about-" the court lady said, but Aurora doesn't let her finish.

"Sania? What going on?" She asked worriedly.

"His Majesty awaits you," Sania said with a smile.

"And my mother?" She requested.

"I don't think she can make it" Sania replied, Aurora sucked in the flood of tears about to hit her, She couldn't ever believe her mother was selling her out.

The wedding ceremony was over, and it was a tradition for the King and his new Queen to accept gifts from his people and enjoy the party, women performed different dance steps while they both sat behind a transparent black curtain, Aurora smiled because she enjoyed the music, dances and so many performances. Little did she know the King watched her smile.
