King Helix of Eellendra and Chief Gabor of The Sila Kingdom made an agreement when their children were brought into this world many moons ago. It states that when Princess Qadira reaches the age of 18 years, they will betroth her to Prince Zoran. They set it in writing and sealed the deal with a wax symbol of their family crests. The two Kingdoms will unite on the 3rd of August.
Now fast forward to two weeks before the princess's birthday and the time has arrived for the arrangements to go ahead. She will be 18 soon and Prince Zoran is 20.
Zoran Prince of Sila is a studly, well-proportioned specimen. He's polite and has noble ways. His almond-shaped eyes are a beautiful shade of crystal blue. Zi has a gentle but also an intense stare when he is looking at you. It's very sensual and passionate.
He has sharp features, olive tone skin with dimples on his cheeks when he smiles. His teeth are gleaming and perfectly straight.
He has no blemishes anywhere on his clean-shaven face. His dark thick hair gently swaying with every movement he makes. It has a gorgeous sheen and looks to be well maintained from where she was standing. She can't help but stare directly at him.
Qadira's parents call her to their private chambers to have the TALK. She skips along the corridor and arrives there quickly. She knocks on the door and walks in.
They are already seated with weird looks on their faces. They ask her to sit. This is bad, she can sense it. Thinking, what did she do?
'Am I in trouble for something' 'Why did they summon me here?' 'What's with the weird looks?' 'Shit I'm nervous '. All this is floating around her head.
They proceed to tell her that she will marry the prince on her birthday.
She is absolutely furious.
"I'M NOT MARRYING ANYONE, I'M TURNING 18, F**K! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU ARE THE RUINATION OF MY LIFE? MOTHER TELL HIM PLEASE I DONT WANT TO!".
Her Mother replies in such a sweet tone "It's done sweetheart, we already agreed, you will marry Prince Zoran, everything is signed and agreed upon, he's arriving tomorrow with his family so there is no backing out now".
King Helix in a disgruntled manner, "My dearest, where did that colorful language originate?.
Please don't tell me you and your friends defied me once again? The Veil? have you been peeking through, you know that place is off-limits, how many times have I told you to avoid it, QADIRA! are you listening to me"? I am very disappointed with your behavior of late.
It is unbecoming of a princess. I raised you better than that, my child, heed my warning, stay clear of that area, nothing good will come of it trust me, It's settled that on the afternoon of your birthday you WILL wed the prince and that's that".
Qadira slams the door and storms off, fuming. Her hands are heating, her temper is flaring, it's hard to conceal her anger.
Everything she passes smashes into thousands of pieces. This day is dreadful for her. She takes off towards her bedroom and paces up and down for a while, mumbling gibberish under her breath.
Eventually, she calms herself. Laying on her gigantic bed, she falls asleep.
When she awakens, there seems to be a lot of commotion downstairs.
"What the hell is all that racket"? talking to herself
Down she goes to see why it's so noisy and for her breakfast as her belly is rumbling? As she enters the dining area she sees her parents, grandfather, Chief Gabor, his Queen Lavender, and her fiance seated around the breakfast table.
'He's very attractive but marriage at this age is just lunacy, she thinks to herself. "Why does it have to be me though? Can they not find someone else".
She must look strange or something because everyone stares in her direction. She bows her head out of respect and in turn, they do the same. Adahlia rises from her seat and in her sweet tone, she speaks.
Queen Adahlia "Your majesty's this is my beautiful daughter Qadira.
Chief Gabor "Lovely to make your acquaintance my dear, come closer I won't bite".
Princess Qadira "Hello, the pleasure is all mine. So! you're going to be my father-in-law it seems ". in an insolent tone she reaches her arms out to embrace him and he's a little taken aback. She thinks it's so hilarious how freaked out he looks.
Chief Gabor "I-I wasn't expecting that, my dear. STAND UP, SON! come meet your bride to be ".
He stands and starts walking towards her, bows his head and with flushed cheeks, he speaks.
Prince Zoran "Your Royal Highness It is an honor to be in your presence. Shall we go for a stroll on this fine day"?

Princess Qadira "Let's go, it will be great to get some fresh air and get away from those," she breathes and gives him a cheeky wink. Off they go.
She's stuck with all of this now, unfortunately.
She doesn't have a lot of time to get to know him, truly know him. They definitely landed her in quicksand here, but she will survive.
The parents talk amongst themselves, while Qadira and her new sweetheart go for a walk around the grounds.
He really is delightful and definitely her type.
After getting to spend a bit of time with him she decides that she will go along with the deal as he's in the same boat as she is so they might as well take the leap together. They have a lovely day together, so at least that counts for something.
Zoran is being the perfect gentleman towards her so she thinks to herself99Please respect copyright.PENANA4s49GwgZfk

"maybe it will be easy to be married to him, he's very charming".
Busy as a bee she is, giving her input on the planning of her wedding/18th/Zenith Power acceleration. She likes her ideas to be put into action quickly.
She is a stubborn young woman. Unfortunately for the prince, she doesn't get much time to spend with him, so he has to spend his time with the in-laws, mostly.
As far as she knows he seems happy, well that's what she wants to believe. She absolutely hopes that he enjoys himself.
Fingers crossed, eh? They will get to see each other sooner rather than later, hopefully. Well, for definite at the altar when she is walking up the aisle...99Please respect copyright.PENANAyrDhTxU2nl
