Athena looked out her window at the beautiful sunset. The silver rays seemed to dance with the water of the fountain. The air was fresh and pure. No sound of cars or anything else could be heard to spoil the beautiful sight before her, only the sounds of small animals giving their recital on this beautiful summer night. The days were so hectic at the manor that she preferred the night and its silence. She smiled as she closed her eyes. If she didn't have this deep sadness, she would already be running down the steps to the river for a night swim. Athena sighed.
She had not left her room for two days now. She only let her maid in when she brought her food or came to clean her room... She didn't want to see anyone else, not her mother, not her sister, and certainly not that oaf of a duke who was her father. She was angry at all of them for agreeing to give her hand to this prince Don Juan who was on the front page of the scandal press and this without talking to her as if her point of view did not count... It was her life after all... Of all the princes and lords that existed on earth, it was Prince Louis that her father chose as his future son-in-law... He had after all found a charming marquis for his sister, why didn't he do the same for her... She would have to accept the fact that she would never make a love marriage because of her title... She couldn't be asked to marry a man she could never stand. It was too much for her...
She remembers flatly refusing when her father decided to tell her about it... Her father, of course, told her that it was not a request but an order and took the opportunity to remind her that she was the daughter of a duke and that she should have a husband of noble blood. Her father went so far as to add that Athena was lucky that a rich prince was willing to marry her because with her modest manners, he had simply hoped to entrust her to a knight or a rich landlord. The young woman was offended by his words and to show her disenchantment, she shouted at him that she would lock herself in her room until he changed his mind. "Leave her, she'll come out eventually..." her father had replied when her mother was pleading for her daughter. Athena had this dream where she saw a thunderbolt, hitting her father. It was mean of her to think such a thing but she prayed to see her dream come true. She didn't hate her father... She just hated the fact that he put duty before family all the time... Athena had never seen him smile. Or at least...she couldn't remember the last time he had smiled. Not to mention the last time she decided to talk to him like a father to his daughter and not a king to a princess. Athena sighed and looked at her bedroom door. She wouldn't last a week, she knew it... She loved her long walks and crazy horse races too much.
Someone knocked softly on her door and she could easily guess who was at her door...
- Raidjah? I don't open... I am still sulking. And I won't sulk again until Daddy changes his mind.
- Athena... you are overreacting! It's been two days already.
- And I'll be staying a long time. Good night!
- Athena... I came all the way to see you but you, you hide ...
