Chapter 16
Flame
"Fiancée, Fiancée! I will not marry some arranged fiancée. Why do I have a fiancée in the first place? Why am I being forced into an arranged marriage? Will someone explain this situation to me? Tell me why am I in this idiotic and unnecessary situation!"
"Calm down you idiotic son. Stop embarrassing me. You are getting married to Princess Liana because you are the heir to the throne. That way we can expand the kingdom and have a peace treaty between the kingdom of Liekos and the kingdom of Nessa. It will prevent any future war between these two strong and powerful kingdoms. Don't you see son, it is for the good of our kingdom, your kingdom. When you take over, the kingdom will be twice the size it is now and it is all just for you."
"Father, I will not marry her, even if it was good for the kingdom. I already have a girl I love."
"Who, that Ice girl? Isn't she the rebellion leader? Why on earth would you marry someone who tried to overthrow the throne. Why one earth would you date someone who tried to overthrow me, your father. Why would you love someone who tries to wreak havoc and cause chaos on a peaceful land."
"Don't you see father, there is a good side to also marrying Ice. Number 1, I love her. Number 2, she is the face of the people. The people love her because she gave up everything for them, she helps them live a better life. If I marry her, the people won't try to revolt."
"Are you saying that the people I lead now are not living good lives. That I don't treat them well? How do you know she is not just going through you to get power?"
"That is not what I am saying father and I just know that she is not using me. I don't have to prove it. The proof of our love is evident enough."
"You guys aren't even dating yet and I don't approve. Nor will I ever approve of any relationship you two have. Even friendship."
"What? Why!"
"Do you really think I will so stupid, that I won't know her real identity? Ice Legend. Daughter of who? Hm? Daughter of the very two people that happen to be frozen in the middle of my throne room. Daughter of Quene and Xavic Legend. The very people who tried to defy me. The very girl who just so happen to murder my wife? My wife! Do you think I would let you date, let alone marry the girl who murdered my wife! You can love her, but I will never let it get further than that. Hah! You must take me as a fool! Get out of my sight! You will marry Princess Liana, if it is the last thing I do! Now get out here! Get out, you wretched, ungrateful boy! Get out, I don't want to see anyone who associates themselves with the murderer of my wife! I don't want to see anyone who associates themselves with someone who tries to oppose my rule and overthrow me from my throne. I should just kill that wretched girl! In fact, I think I will! Now get out of here! Get out! Get out!"
What am I going to do now? I don't know what to do. I have to keep my Ice safe from my evil dad. I need to keep her from any harm that he plans to throw her way. How? I don't know, but I know I can do it. All I know is that we are going to get through this, I will never marry Princess Liana. I will never marry anyone except the girl I love, I will only marry my beautiful Ice, and only her.
