The runaway princess

Prologue

I'll take a risk, take a chance, and break away...

"I will not meet him Father, I can guarantee you I won't!" I exclaim to my father, stubbornly as I start packing my bags.

"Please princess. He's really excited to meet you, and I think you guys would make a great match!" he says back to me he says almost sternly but lovingly.

You see here? That's what I love about my Dad. Although he is a powerful ruler, he does not boss me around like his subjects. He has treated me like a spoiled princess, which is exactly what I am. However, lately he seems like he will not let this marriage thing go unnoticed. Ugh the stupid rules of Paruji.

"Daddy you raised me to be independent. I don't need a man to rule beside me." I say as I continue to pack. I sling my bag over my shoulder and cringe a bit under the heaviness of it.

"It's the law daughter," my father says sadly as he reaches to take my bag off my shoulder.

I cringe away from him and run past him. "I'm sorry Father, I can't obey the law this time,'' I say as I run out the door without even a backward glance at my dad.
