I don't know how long I've been hanging here. I've been fed four times so if I had to guess I would say around two days and my knight in shining armour has yet to come and rescue me.

I've tried to escape a couple of times. Every time my food would be delivered by a little troll. I'd spit on him, kick him and even try to use my powers but nothing worked if you were up against something with powers. For some reason the troll had all his powers even when he was in the room, I suspect he had some type of immunity potion. He would elevate up to my chains and let me loose, stand there watching me eat and then chain me up again all while he was telling me stories that made my skin crawl.

Right at that moment the door opened to reveal the troll. Even the plate he carried was made out of plastic. There was no way out of this whole and I was becoming increasingly worried about my sister.

"I hope you're not planning to escape again today. The sooner you start acting like a good girl the sooner I can take those chains off of you for good. The master would be arriving tonight and you have to look your best when you see him and in those chains it would not be an easy task" he started blabbering away again while levitating to take the chains off of me

I fell to the ground with a huff. "Oh so the wonderful master has finally decided to grace me with his presence, how lucky can a girl get?" I asked sarcastically while rubbing my wrists.

"The master will not like that attitude of yours, it's time you started acting like a lady!" the troll preached

"Oh yeah. My bad. After he kidnapped me, chained me to a wall and left me hanging there for days, the first thing on my priority list should of course be to worry about what your master would think of my manners." I said just as sarcastic as before

"Yes you should. If you are to be the masters' future bride, you will have to start acting like royalty. Not like some hillbilly forest girl" he insulted

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you the best part of being stuck in this dungeon. When the mastermind behind this complot finally shows up he is planning on making me and Zanne his brides. He really knows how to charm a girl, doesn't he?

"I told you before. I am a royal! I'm Princess Reyna Zahee." I tried once again to persuade him

"Yes of course you are. Listen, stop living in your little fantasy world and get down to reality. You are to marry my master tomorrow and that's that." He said agitated. I decided to just drop the argument. I've been trying to tell him who I am for days and since I can't use my wings, it was a hopeless case.

"Besides, most women that the master marries starts to enjoy living in the palace. That is until their nine months are up." He continued with a frown

"You mean he did this to others? Why? And why does he only keep them for nine months?" I asked in distaste.

"Yes he did this multiple times before and he only does it to get an heir. Once the heir is born the mother gets to be its first meal" he explained

Oh no, oh no. That thing wants to use me and Zanne to... Zanne! "But Zanne is..." I started to say but then quickly stopped myself. If the master only wants us to give him an heir, then Zanne would be killed if they found out that she was already pregnant.

I saw the troll looking at me expectantly, waiting for me to finish my sentence "Zanne is my sister and I will never let you harm one hair on her head" I said evilly towards him

"There's nothing that you can do about it 'princes'. This is the masters' plan and nothing or no one has ever been able to foil it." He said but I didn't listen. His words from earlier finally were getting processed by my brain causing my face to turn deathly pale.
