Chapter 7

Dianne sat wearily and stared at herself in the mirror, at long last, she was able to rest. Somehow, father decided to make their journey to the northern kingdoms, a little earlier, they had been trudging nonstop through the woods on carriages and horses. Luckily, the northern men had built houses along the roads, making it easier to rest as they went along. Yet, she felt father wasn’t telling her the truth, what could possibly had made him in such a hurry to marry her off, speaking of marriage, she sighed, all to soon she had wished they spent more time on the road.
Now, tonight was her wedding, the prince made sure that her wedding was an elaborate one, kings and queens were invited for their wedding. Here she was, decked out in the traditional wedding attire of the northern, white and baby blue, the two colors she hated the most, she wanted a bolder color, but father said it was proper, especially since it represented that she was untouched. The dress was hideous, covering her from head to toe, it didn’t even showcase her curves, which she was proud of, even widows' garment was better than this. She looked as if she was going for a funeral instead of her wedding, she told maria, she hated it and she said.
“My princess, you look beautiful”.
