HE WANTS TO MARRY ME!

You are a fine, young and good looking Lady. I need to marry soon. Maybe I will choose you!

His words echo in my head.

I am not allowed to be caught. Under NO circumstances. Never ever. I bet if he found out he would kill me. And if he knew that mother knew it all along, she might die, too. Therefore I need to be careful!

Do I even want that? I am only sixteen and he is twenty-one. It is just such a huge gap. At least from my point of view.

My thoughts trail back to when Edward introduced me to his brothers. I could have sworn Prince Frederick had a rather suspicious look on his face when he saw me, but he did not say a word about it.

"Pleasure to meet you"

That was all he said. And he grinned. It was just so weird.

With all these thoughts in my head I finally manage to fall asleep.
