The Duchess

Willow was a widow to say the least or in the terms the people said it A Duchess, she was the wife of the grand duke, but recently he had passed due to sickness and the poor attempt the king made for his subjects, during their marriage Willow and her husband had been planning for months to have at least one kid, one kid to carry out their legacies,
but that dream was killed, like a vegan thinking their eating vegan food but its real meat, being the only female equerry remaining, she had to keep a close eye on those around her, always finding the king somewhat near her,  as the king's wife was dead, she died years ago. The King and Queen weren't really in love with each other as it was an arranged marriage and in the castle arranged marriage was big in the royal Family.
Willow was summoned at once by the king, 
"You called for me, Majesty," Willow spoke, bowing her head. The king chuckled "please refrain from calling me that, please call me Dad" he said.

Willow raised her head in confusion but lowered it back down "i-uh may I question this, your majesty" she said still bowing, "I've been observing your routine for the past two weeks,  and you've been with us for a good while Willow, so I have arranged you with my son, Charlie" he spoke,
Willow could pass out at that very moment, not only was she a widow, but she was also very young "what No!? your majesty this is absurd" she said, the king sat there blank, just stared at her "your majesty i can't first im already married"

she said holding up her left arm to show she had indeed been married "secondly Prince Charlie is a lot older than I am" she said in a fury, the king did nothing but walk towards her, Willow backed up, but what too late when the king suddenly grabbed her arm, the force the king but on holding her arm froze her, the king then yanked Willow's wedding ring of her finger, than threw it off the balcony "NO!" she yelled as she reached out over the balcony,
but the ring was already lost, somewhere on the castle grounds
And looked back at her

"Not anymore, your husband is gone now, and it's best to leave the him in the past,

I am Your king and whatever I say goes, and what I say is that you will Marry my son" he said,
Pearl white tears fell from willows eyes "Y-yes, Your Majesty" she said, she gave up, as much as she wanted to fight it, she couldn't she was working for royalty, and didn't have the rights to leave the kingdom,

"Great! I'll get the wedding arrangements ready, you two will be married in a week, he said, "minister!" the king yelled, a tall clean eldery man no older than the age of sixty came up to the two

"Yes Your Highness" he said bowing "bring me my son, Charlie, i have found his bride" The King said "Yes Your highness i will retrieved your son at once" the Minister ran off "You two are great for one another, and bring wonderful Children to our family" the king said,
Tears fell from Willow's eyes, she was being forced into a marriage she didn't want, where she would have been if Her husband hadn't died. She'd at least be with the person she actually loved and the person she had true feelings for, all this was done against her will, the decision was final she was getting married again

She Was No Longer
