"I order you to stop!" She yelled. He who she had chased for the past minutes controlled his horse to make a stop, he climbed down his horse and tied it around a tree, taking a walk to where her horse stood as she looked down at him. He forced out his sparkling smile that charm every girl's heart that he meet, thinking such charm would work on the lady on the horse, surprises he was yet to find. "Is there any problem my lady" he said smiling before offering to get her off her horse since he has been sitting there for a while now. Octavio was unaware of the fact that the fat lady he was yet to despise was his crown princess. He smiled again as he seemed to be winning her over, he didn't care one bit about her size besides his flirty charm was for all sizes. "My gown.... It's dirty" she said, pointing to where the stain lie not explaining how it was Octavio's concern. "I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" He asked, taking a step back so she could get down from her horse by herself. "Yes... You and that filthy horse of yours stained my dress, you should know that you aren't supposed to ride your horse quickly in that tiny road even as you are a noble" she said, clearly taking it that he dresses well so that places him above commoners and the fact he had access to the slim road from before shows that he was no ordinary person. "As your Princess I would like to show mercy if you apologise to me" she said proudly, she does take pride in letting people know her status while using it to torment them. Octavio laughed. he recognized her now, the rude lady from before to think he would've really apologise for what he did wrong especially to a lady like her who doesn't even care about people's feelings. He snubbed her presence and went on to untie his horse leaving the princess to watch the dust..... Such disrespect!
Chapter 1 The Proposal
Far far away, off the coast of Thorns River and in the midst of the Pacific there lies a kingdom which has been isolated for several years but flourished inspite of that with a growing population of over three hundred thousand and different kinds of animals that was mainly for consumption in that land, the kingdom never lacked.
Kingdoms from afar was know to have travelled distance just to create trade relations with this particular kingdom, her name was Aurelia and was ruled by King Quezaca alongside his beloved daughter Princess Yvonne.
Aurelia has never been better. The people praised and worshipped their King but hated his daughter, Yvonne, not for her rude behavior nor for the fact that majority of the kingdom's earnings goes to her well-being, she wasn't loved and neither did she care, for all he knew her beloved father had her back.
The reason for her subjects hatred was that she was unmarried and hadn't had a single suitor, the people saw it as shameful for in the land a girl should be married before twenty but such wasn't the case with Princess Yvonne, she was twenty years and not a single prince has asked for her hand in marriage until today.....
A long table lies in the midst of the dining room and was saturated with different varieties of food and wine with Yvonne's favorite not been left, a large turkey sits and stood out among all.
Princess Yvonne was already seated and awaited her father, she wore a frown on her face as usual without every reason to, it was just how her face was sculptured.
"Your Highness, his Majesty is here" Yvonne's maid and adviser, Crystal said so that the princess could sit properly as Yvonne's head was laid low, a princess should always remember to keep her head held up high no matter how heavy her crown was.
The King and his Royal guards walked into the dining room and every other person apart from his daughter bowed their head in respect as the King took his seat at the head of the table.
He smiled at his daughter who couldn't wait to dig into her turkey, the only thing she couldn't stop thinking about even in her sleep.
"How was your night?" King Quezaca asked his daughter who was about to chew on the leg of her turkey.
"It was a good night father" She replied before going in to take a bite off the leg of the turkey when one of the Royal guards rushed in to announce that messangers from the kingdom of Restropia has arrived to meet with his Majesty.
Not knowing why a kingdom like Restropia would like to seek his audience given that it was a very small kingdom that couldn't even last a day in a war or could it provide for it's people, the kingdom was a total wasteland compared to Aurelia and other great Kingdoms, the king did order that they should be allowed in.
He already had it in his mind that if they were here to seek aid then he won't offer any help, to him doing trade or forming diplomatic relationship with neighbors is like an eye for an eye, so what use will it be to him if a kingdom like Restropia who has no eye be to him.
The messangers came in, their dressing was considered laughable as Princess Yvonne tried to hold in her laughter after looking at their inappropriate dressing, all three messangers had on shorts that was after their bum and an iron vest, it was how guards and workers in Restropia dressed because of the heat level over there but here in Aurelia, the cold was sure to kill them in seconds.
They hand over the scroll to the King's Royal adviser who gave it to the King to bless, a tradition in Aurelia which meant that if a King touch a scroll then all that is on it shall be blessed, it all started after Kingdom of Thorns which shares borders with Aurelia sent a message about the surrounding river that flows into Aurelia and was the only good water for consumption in the land considering that the Pacific was salty.
During that period, Aurelia was as Restropia, a wasteland and it's inhabitants were all poor unlike today so they had fear that the message sent from the Thorns Kingdom was to block the water from flowing into Aurelia, the reverse was the case when King Soopers the first King of Aurelia touched the scroll brought and turns out that the Thorns Kingdom only wanted to build a bridge to strengthen their bond.
Ever since then the Thorns Kingdom has been their greatest Ally and that tradition grew to the point that till date Aurelia has never recorded any wars or suffered any bad relationship with other Kingdoms infact it greatly prospered to lengths other Kingdom find it hard to reach.
It was for that reason that many kings after King Soopers had faith that they weren't surrounded by enemies.
Rather than blessing the scroll as it should, king Quezaca made a slight tap on it and went on to eat his food as the Royal advisor read it aloud, it was a known fact that the King was proud a trait his daughter took from him.
"Greetings to the Royal family of Aurelia, I, king of Restropia and my Queen write to seek your daughter's hand in marriage for our son...." The Royal adviser stopped reading, he like everyone else was surprised at this even the king wasn't left out as he and his daughter both stared at each other.
The untouched turkey in the hand of the princess fell from her hand to the floor. The King didn't believe what his ears had heard, he personally doubted it. How long had it been since a marriage proposal was brought into the kingdom.... Twenty one years ago when the late Queen came into the palace, no surprises that her kingdom wanted Quezaca as their son in law, the King was known for being handsome another trait his daughter took from him only that hers was hidden under her chubby cheeks.
The Royal advisor went back to complete the reading of he scroll, ".... Prince Octavio, we believe that this will further strengthen relationship between our two kingdoms and increase diplomatic missions across borders"
King Quezaca wanted to be happy his daughter got her first proposal but didn't want that happiness to be because she got it from a small kingdom, it will be a huge slap on his face. It wasn't like he hadn't sent out marriage proposal to other Kingdoms but all responded that their prince were not of interest to wed yet, it was all lies just to run away from getting their son married to a fat princess.
The King has been devastated since then and has spoken that such shouldn't be spoken of in the palace or gossiped about on the streets of Aurelia, it was a shame he wanted to cover.
The King of Restropia was smart and witty he of people knows that if he gave an offer to Quezaca, an offer which it will be hard for him to refuse then he will be in control. He of all people know that Quezaca feared no one and that the only problem was that his daughter was unmarried.
If he was to get his son to marry his daughter then all shall be settled in Restropia.
"Abomination!" The king's voice erupted throughout the dinning room. " Leave my sight immediately..... Now!" Everybody present except for his daughter and the messangers from Restropia stood there.
The King angrily pull out the table cloth allowing everything on it to shatter completely as it hit the ground, food and wine mixed together as the King stomp on every piece of it before lifting his chair and hit it repeatedly on the floor.
Yvonne sat quietly watching her father's madness, she was use to it, it was her fault he is being disgraced this way, what would be said of him if she married into a Kingdom that was more of a dumping ground than a habitable place.
"I feel insulted.... " King Quezaca said, panting. "Go tell your King that they should get ready for the engagement"
