Due to the wars between your castle and the enemies, your father thought of a solution, one he thought was best.

To offer you as his bride.

You were in the age of bearing kids and old enough to marry, and you were quite beautiful as well.

He agreed

When the ceremony came, I didn't smile at all. He only said the vows and wedded you, that was it.

He didn't say anything to you, compliment, or give you any sort of compassion.

You were stuck, and you felt stuck.

The honeymoon wasn't the best either. Him just 'getting over with it' to produce an heir.

Which failed.

And failed

And failed.

It's been almost a year and a half, and you weren't getting pregnant.

A ball was thrown in his castle, people laughing and drinking.

You walked into the ballroom, your husband on his throne already. People bowed as you walked to your throne. But one female said,

"She hasnt produced an heir. Why is she even queen if she can't do her job? I could give him an heir easily. Maybe he will then see how useless of a queen she is, " she whispers

Halted.

You looked. Everyone didn't know what was happening, but you shouted.

"Excuse me?"

Everyone looked, even Kaelen.

The woman looks, eyes widening. "Oh, uh.." she said. "Look, everyone's thinking it. You're not doing your job as queen, producing an heir and all. You're not fit for this,"

You couldn't help but stare, your hands shake

The woman speaks "see youre weak? Getting emotional, and all. A queen needs to be strong, which youve not..im sure your husband would love -"

SMACK

the woman stumbles back with a yelp, eyes going wide, touching her cheek. And feeling a taste of metal in her mouth.

Everyone stares

Kaelen eyes are wide.
