BETROTHED TO MY WORST NIGHTMARE

____ ELDORIA KINGDOM ____

Princess Lavinia stood by the window her gaze fixed on the Sky. The morning light filtered through the Window Casting a Soft glow on her features.

Yeah...She basically loves staring at the Sky. This was what she does almost every time , She has no friends. Her father won't allow her to associate with anyone expect during royal party where she get to talk with guest.

Asher, being her lover has been kept a secret because her father won't hesitate to kill him. Her meeting was always secretive.

A soft smile played on her lips as she stared at the ring on her middle finger. Asher had proposed to her a week ago and she accepted without hesitation despite her father's disapproval

Her mind wandered back to the day she first met Asher Over a year ago, She was taking her usual stroll through the town when she saw him.

Despite not being a prince, Asher had Captured her heart. She doesn't Care if her father disapproves of their marriage.

"I will run away with him" She thought within herself.

She sighed wishing she had a mother who can at least tame the King. Her father doesn't even have a Mistress.

The sound of a gentle knock echoed through her room and she tore her gaze from the window.

"Come in"

The heavy wooden door creaked Open revealing one of her numerous maids.

"Mi Lady, Your father King Edward request of your presence in the dining hall "

Lavinia groaned mentally, but her response was Calm and Composed.. " Alright, I will be there in a minute ,thanks"

The maid bowed her head before leaving in a swift motion.

With graceful movement, She made her way to the dining hall, Her steps light and elegant.

"Morning Father" She greeted with a warm smile as she entered the grand room.

King Edward acknowledge her with a nod and she took her seat.

She picked her fork and began to eat slowly.

"I will like to take a stroll today Father" She said breaking the silence.

"Don't be late" He simply replied.

"I don't want to see you anywhere around Asher" He added and she said nothing .

*****

Princess Lavinia smiled as she stepped out of the car. Her smile grew bigger as she looked at the beach. This is their favorite spot and where they meet.

"Don't follow me" She told the guard who tried to follow her.

He just bowed his head not saying a word.

Her long flowing gown swirled behind her as she made her way to the shore.

A smile spread through her lips as Seeing Asher. He is still looking handsome as ever.

"Asher " She called out with smiles running into his Waiting arms.

"My princess" He replied Planting a quick kiss on her lips.

"I've missed you" She muttered kissing him again.

"Same here, I can't wait to marry you"He replied.

He took her hands kissing the ring on her finger. He led her towards the cottage they had built here.
