Goodbye love. Hello hate.

"What do you mean by that!?" I asked my father in a shocking state.

"Exactly what you heard." he responded in a serious face.

"M-marry? From now? Who? I don't understand. How can you just announce me that I'm getting married without even asking me!?"

"Ask you? Don't make me laugh. I am the king of the great Silverlands! And you are my subject. Do you understand me? You have no right to do anything without my permission."

"How can you... Father!!"

"King! I am your king princess Yuki." Said increasing the volume of his voice, something that he rarely does. I was frozen. "Be prepared. Starting tomorrow you are going to be meeting suitors, one every day until I find the best possible alliance." Added some seconds later.

"I will not marry someone I don't love just for an alliance! We are one of the most wealthy countries, we don't need any alliances. You, fa-.. my king, can destroy anyone!"

"Enough with your rudeness! Continue disobeying my words and you will soon see the consequences. I let you do anything you wanted until now, gave you everything you desired, but playtime is over now. Accept it before it's too late."

I was woken up early by the maids. After breakfast, they immediately started preparing me for the dinner. There was no way I would marry an idiot prince who only wants me for my kingdom. If my father wants me to attend the dinner, I will. Otherwise I'm sure he will punish me. But! Only until there.

After a week I was called by my father. He just couldn't understand why no suitor wanted my hand. And why every and each of them run away. He was clear that if I fail to charm the next one, I will no longer be needed. In normal situations that would mean death. But I'm his daughter! So.. I'm not exactly sure what he meant. Lately... I'm unable to recognize him. The way he talks to me, the way he treats me... He's my king, my father! Please don't make me hate you...!!

In my way to the dinning room, I saw a man lying on the wall with crossed hands. He had long blond hair and his eyes were... his eyes... I couldn't see the color because he had them closed. But even like that you could see how beautiful his face was. And not only the face... When he noticed me he bowed. I bowed too. Brown. His eyes were brown.
As I tried to walk he suddenly appeared in front of me. So close to me that no human alive has ever been. How could they even dare? I'm a princess after all. But he... I made two steps behind. I was full of embarrassment and I didn't even know why. Maybe because I hesitated to step back for a moment?

"Hmm... orange hair... green eyes.... Not bad." He said looking at me from the head 'till my toes.

"What!?". I made one more step back. He made one more step forward as he replied me.

"No need to be afraid..." and playfully added "Yet."

"Yet!?". He smiled in a way that's sweet and annoying in the same time. Aghh!! What's wrong with me! "Who are you??" I asked loudly. He continued walking closer to me leading me to the wall. There was no escape. My back had already touched the wall and he was standing right in front of me. What's this situation??

"You are soon going to find out. Since you are cute enough. There's no way he's not going to like you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Patience is a necessary virtue for a princess don't you think?". How can he be so rude?

"You...". No! No, no, no I must hold myself! His smile slowly faded. His eyes were now glued to mine. No sound. It was like the time had stopped. He lifted his hand toward my face and slowly brought it closer and closer. My heart was beating so fast I almost thought it would explode. He stopped right before he touched my chin and suddenly lowered his hand again to touch mine. His eyes didn't let go of mine for a single moment. Slowly and gently he kissed my hand... and let go of it.

"What's wrong with this expression princess? Did you expect something more?"

"Wha-...!!". His smile appeared again.

"Haha... You are a dirty minded princess aren't you?"

"I am NOT!"

"Don't worry... Maybe next time." Were his last words before he disappeared.

Here I am now, one step before I open the door to meet my alleged future husband. Hmp! Like I will ever...!! Prepare yourself prince of I don't care! 'Couz I'm going to make you run in fear in no time!!
