Act 1 Scene 1

At the royal castle of Vimore

Victoria's pov
As I walked down the long stretched hallway all I could think about was what would Father want of me now. You see I am the only princess of Vimore and to my father I'm just something to throw around. All because I have an older brother, who will take the crown one day and everyone in this kingdoms will forget I even existed because I'll be married off to some random prince or king. Wait a second, maybe he's found some kingdom he wants as an ally and I'm the key to it. My mind was buzzing in circles when the guard who was leading we come to a sudden halt.

We had reached my fathers study, and waiting at the door was my mother. My mother is the most beautiful woman in all of Vimore and our kingdoms best Mage and wyvern rider too! She looked over at me with a sad look. I slowly walked to the door and gave a slight knock. "Father, you wished to see me," I spoke.

"Yes, enter Victoria", I pushed the big doors open and once I was inside they slammed back into place giving me a little scare. I walked up to his desk and I noticed a map laid out. Once I was close enough to his desk he looked up at me. "My dear daughter, I've had recent thought about your future", I gulped I could feel my palms starting to clam up. "You see, have you ever heard of the Kingdom of Nohr"? I nodded. Too nervous to speak. "Well for years Vimore and Nohr have been neutral countries. But now I wish to have them as an ally. For many good reasons, they have an amazing army, and many good items for trading. Which is where you come in, dear Victoria. One of the Nohrian royals has asked for your hand," my eyes widened. "I'm in the process of doing all the paper work that will bring our kingdoms together. As we will also help them in the war there currently in," I took a few seconds to process all of this information.

"Is that all father?" I nervously asked.

"Yes, I will inform you later on some more details but until then go back to your room and continue as normal," I bowed and took my leave. After I was out of the study my mother wanted to speak with me but I ran back to my room.

Once I reached my bed chambers I flopped down and started crying. I could tell that my retainers were looking over at me with worry. I sat up and turned to face them. Nefertari came and sat on the edge of my bed and rubbed my back.

  "What troubles you mistress?" She asked

"It's my father," I sobbed. Alexandros brought me over some tissues.

"Now princess having daddy issues never got anyone nowhere," she snickered.

"Nefertari now isn't the time for you perverted jokes," Alexandros scolded while I continued crying. "Mistress if you could, try to tone down the tears so you can explain to us what made you so upset or I can just think that your being put to death." I took another minute or so to empty my eye sockets of tears.

"Now do you care to tell us about your daddy issues Vikky?" Alexandros lightly punched Nefertari in the shoulder for saying that.

"Yes, you see my father now wants the kingdom of Nohr as an ally," I sighed.

"And what does this have to do with you princess?" Alexandros asked.

"One of the royals has asked for my hand to kind of 'seal the deal' sorta thing I guess," Nefertari gave me her wiggling eyebrows look and left my room.

  "Well Nohr doesn't have a very good king, he has 5 children that are rumoured to all have different mothers and well their currently at war with there neighbouring kingdom. I don't think your father could've done any worse," that's Alexandros for you, always naming the negatives. Then Nefertari entered my room she had a few pieces of paper.

"Look through these princess, it's some portraits of the royal children," she shoved them in my direction and I started looking through them. First I seen a little girl with big blonde pigtails. "That's the youngest princess, princess Elise," she looked pretty cute. I turned the page. On this page there was a male with short blond hair, he was holding some sort of tome. "This is prince Leo, he's the youngest prince," he had this slight emo kid vibe to him. I flipped the page again this time I was faced with a purple hair woman. "This is the oldest princess, Camilla I've heard that she also rides a wyvern," so I might find a friend in all of this after all. I turned the page again and this time there was a tall man with a soft but chiseled face. Blond hair with a slight curl to it. I'll admit, he had good looks. "This is the high prince, Xander. Handsome isn't he?" She giggled.

  "Um, yes. But Nefertari if I may ask. What are you trying to say by showing me portraits that you've had our scouts smuggle in our boarders? And what about the fifth child?" She gave me a big grin.

  "I'm sure that you'll be marring prince Xander, since he's going to be the next king. Nohr's current ruler must want his son to have a wife before he hands over the throne. Just imagine how cute your children will look!" Alexandros just rolled his eyes.

"No one besides the royals and the castle staff have seen her. She doesn't leave their northern fortress" Alexandros said I think he was trying to scare me.

"Are you sure of this Nefertari? Father said that my future partner had asked for my hand. So it could also be the younger prince," Now I really wanted to know who my future husband will be. Especially after looking at the two princes.

"Or you could end up with the king, he's a crusty old man. He's a lot like what your father would be if the Queen pasted away," Alexandros cut in to say. I tried to picture my father that way, and I know for sure that it doesn't look very pretty. Now it was Nefertari's turn to punch Alexandros' shoulder.

"Don't be silly, her father wouldn't allow that to happen. He may be a bit cruel towards Vikky. But he stills loves her," Nefertari said back to him. Then there was a knock at my door.

  "Excuse me princess, but supper will be ready momentarily. So please make your way to the dinning hall very soon," it was one of the maids

  "Of course, thank you." And she left.

  "Now let me fix you up so you look presentable to the rest of your family," Nefertari shooed Alexandros out of my room then she redid my makeup and helped me in an evening gown along with taking my hair out of a bun and brushing it.
