“Mum!!!”

Aria could not believe the words of her mother. Her parents stare at her sternly as she vibrates internally. She storms out of the living room to her room. She bangs the door as she does so. She sits on her bed and caresses her long silky hair backward.

She sighs.

“Princess, the King, and Queen seek your presence downstairs” Robert the butler walks into her room a few hours earlier

“Is there a problem?” Aria raised her brows

Aria got back home a few days ago after her long stay in Canada. She was away from home for over three years for vacation at first but eventually stayed more than planned for reasons that she has decided to share with no one.

“None that I know of miss,” Robert nodded

“I’ll be down in a minute,” Aria stands

In a few minutes, Aria was downstairs on the sofa staring at her parents as they seemed a bit hesitant to say why she was called upon.

“If you guys wanted to stare at my face all day long you should have just taken a picture and save me the stress,” Aria felt bored with the silence and stares

“You are getting married” King Farris Lumpson, Aria’s father harshly spoke

He was tall and dark. He had cold dark eyes. His hair was black and it had a silky look similar to that of Aria. His tone was rather cold and blunt.

Aria adjusted a bit on her chair and raised her brows. “I don’t understand,”

“What don’t you understand?” Queen Evelyn Lumpson, Aria’s mother sparked

She was fair, slender, and curvy. Aria had most of her physical appearance. Queen Evelyn has a calm and soft tone

“But mum, I just got back what I need…”

“We’ve made the decision you will be getting married in a month” King Farris glares at Aria

Aria’s jaw dropped and her heart sank. “A month? But dad I…”

“Stop trying to explain anything to us, Aria, You will get married in a month and to Lucas,” Queen Evelyn rested her back on the sofa

“Tell me you're joking right? Who is Lucas?” Aria becomes angry

“You must know Lucas, the son of my childhood friend King Frederick?” King Farris smiles

“Yeah, I know who he is dad but I don't want to get married at least not now moreover I don't know him too well to get into a relationship called marriage with him," Aria lost her mind at her parents' words but had to keep composure

“And that's why you both are given a month to do that"

Aria looked dumbfounded. She had no idea what to do. She had numerous friends that were forced to get married to their parent's friend's children for reasons known to them but she never expected it to happen to her and a few days after her arrival back home

“Why? Why this marriage?" She could not help but think

“It will greatly benefit this family and most especially the business"

“I'm lost" Aria looked perplexed

“You getting married to Lucas will increase the bond of friendship we had with his family. They are also a partner in the business, if you both get married they might decide to invest even more into the business" Queen Evelyn paused “We haven't told you but they are thinking of pulling out of the business and they hold most of our capital"

“Why will they want to end the partnership? I thought you all were friends"

“Your father had an argument with Frederick and Frederick said for him not to end the partnership we need to create an alliance"

“And I popped into your minds?" Aria scans their faces “You both seem as though you rehearsed what you just said. My answer is no mum" Aria stands intending to leave

“Sit!" King Farris raised his voice

Aria jolted a bit as she did not expect his reaction. “I said sit Aria," King Farris said with a lower but commanding tone

Aria reluctantly sat. “You will get married to Lucas no matter what you say and we are not telling you as a request but as a royal command,"

“Moreover, this marriage will keep you on a leash after your behavior when you travelled it is uncertain to say you were not into inappropriate things while in Canada," Queen Evelyn glares at Aria

Her statement triggered Aria's anger which made her yell and leave the living room.

Aria is twenty-two years old. She is fair, tall, and elegant. She has wonderfully carved eyebrows, full dark eyelashes, and blue eyes. Her lips are pink and thick. Even though she is the crown princess of Ashela, she loves dressing simple which makes it hard for people to recognize her as the crown princess and she is an ambivert.
