Lyra
I sighed quietly as my mother laced up the back of my dress to the point of where I couldn't breath. "Mother" I hissed " do you really think you need to lace it up this tight. I can hardly breathe. I'm going to pass out before the king can even meet me" I said to her. "Silence yourself. You will be fine" she spat " be thankful that you even get to meet him." She finished tightening the corset and she pushed me towards the door. " Go" she said. I hesitated a moment before walking out of our small house and over to the line of girls that were standing on the side of the road. There were only four of us, we had all been friends since birth. "He's going to pick you Lyra" my friend Isabelle said to me "You're the prettiest girl here" I blushed and looked down until I heard the sound of horses running in our direction. I saw a beautiful black and white horse with a man on top of it. That would be our almighty king. He had long brown hair and piercing hazel eyes. Most people would do the smart thing and look away from him, because it showed a sign of obedience. I was not obedient. I stood up straighter as he slowed down his horse to look at the four of us. I could see how he was judging us, seeing which one he thought was the prettiest. I hoped he didn't pick me. I didn't want to live in a big castle or be royalty.

Zachary
I rode down the road on my horse. I was on my way to go pick out a wife. If I didn't marry soon, I would lose my kingdom, which was something I did not want. I slowed my horse as we reached the village, seeing atleast ten girls run from their houses to line up on either side of me. All of them looking at the ground. I smirked slightly and was about to point out who I wanted until a girl began to run toward us. She was absolutely stunning. She would do nicely. "Give me her" I said to my guard. "But be gentle. I wouldn't like my wife to be bruised up the day of the wedding"

Lyra
I nearly gagged in disgusted when he grinned at me. "I know how to bow. I just refuse to respect someone who refuses to help my village" I muttered with disgust, refusing to hold his gaze. "My name is Lyra" I muttered as he turned his horse around so that we could head back to the castle. For me it was a long and agonizing journey. For him, well I wasn't sure. He was probably happy he would just have someone to call a queen so he could keep his fucking throne. I hated this man with a burning passion, I hated even more that I had to be married to him. After awhile, we came to a stop at the foot of the castle, I looked up, unhappy that I would have to live here with this monster I had to call my king. After I climbed off of his horse I looked around, seeing that fucking smirk on his face like he had won some kind of prize. Little did he know how much of a challenge I would be. I wasn't going to listen, and if I was going to be his fucking queen I would do as I damn well please. I saw him hold his arm out for my and I just glared at him before making my way up the steps to the main doors.

Zachary
I flashed her a charming smile before realizing that she looked almost...scared. "How about we switch m'lady?" I said nicely. I saw her look at me with confusion before I slipped off the horse. I helped her move forward before climbing back on so that I was behind her. I grabbed the reins and turned the horse, making sure that she would be safe. "So, my dear, what is your name?" I asked her curiously as we made our way toward my large castle. I had a feeling I was going to have a slight challenge., simply because the look she showed me was that of disgust, and well, the fact that she was late when I arrived suggested something else as well.

Lyra
I let out a light chuckle. "you humiliate me on our wedding day?" I said with disbelief. "I wish you the best of luck. Because I'm not the one who married a peasant just to keep his throne." I spat at him. "There would be no humiliation for me, because it's an 'honor' to marry a king" I narrowed my bright blue eyes at him. "You said you loved a challenge my king" I said spitting the words out at him. "Well you got your wish. Because I will make your life miserable. I might be too big of a challenge for you" I said before stalking away from him. I opened up the oak doors and walked inside before turning around to slam them right in his face.

Zachary
I just smirked at her comment. "I'm okay with it, It was the reaction I expected" I said to her as we arrived at the doors. I slid off of my horse and helped her down. "Shall we?" I said holding my arm out for her. I saw her hesitate a moment before linking her arm with mine. I led her up the steps and through the large ebony doors to show off the exquisite interior. "I will show you to our room" I said to her, I couldn't wait for all of my plans to take play. Before this gorgeous woman could realize it, her life would turn into a living hell.

Lyra
At the sound of him saying he could kill my parents I flung my doors open, causing them to slam against the wall. "Go ahead and fucking kill them!" I yelled in his face, my face red with rage "I'll fucking thank you if you do! They never cared about me, they never took care of me. I took care of myself! They only ever cared about my fucking brother!" I could feel the tears in my eyes but I forced them back. "You think killing them will affect me any?" I snapped. "Well, where were you when my entire village was starving? You were hiding away in your fucking castle. You got everything handed to you! I had to fight for what i had! You think two people who threw me out into the snow and rain cared about me? Do you really think that I would care if you killed them. Hell I will gladly separate their heads from their bodies myself" I snarled "You can try to break me and upset me all you want but it will not work" I snarled before slapping him.

Zachary
I chuckled lightly. "We are going to share a bed, but trust me, what you're thinking of won't happen until after you become my wife." I said to her. "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you, If I wanted to, I would have done it already" I said with a shrug of my shoulders. " I have some business to attend to, you can look around if you like, but you can't escape, just thought that you should know that." I said before walking out of the room.

(and it's so much harder with us being on opposite sides of the world >.<)

Lyra
I glared at him through the bars of my cell. "I'll be damned if I stay locked in this cell until the day of our wedding. Just know, don't be surprised if I say fuck you instead of yes. Because you don't deserve a child or a wife until you learn that there is more to life than power." I spat. "Now that I think about it, I hope you never get the chance to have a son. " i snapped with a defiant glare. Before i could react I felt his hand grip my throat as he began to squeez, causing me to narrow my eyes at him before digging my long nails into his neck, watching as the blood slowly leaked out of the deep scratches on his neck. "You are no king" i hissed out, catching him off gaurd. "You are nothing but a prince which is why you need to marry me"

Zachary
"Of course you can my love. There are plenty of dresses for you in the closet. If you need help just call and one of the servents will come in and help." I said to her. I gave her a sweet kiss on the forehead before continuing my walk toward the large throne room.

( yeah, it really does suck)

Lyra
I gave Matt a cold.glare of pure hate. "If you even think about it I will fucking kick the shit out of your balls" I snapped at hi.. "I'll make sure you go through as much pain as i can before you fuck.me" I spat at him at I sat on the bed , my legs pulled up against my chest. "Why the hell you'd marry someone who.will caus you more pain and problems than what you want is completely unknown."

Zachary
I gave her a smile before slowly walking over to her, giving her enough time to slip the dress on but not zip it up. "You look adorable when you blush" I chuckled lightly. I walked behind her and gently placed my hand on her back before slowly zipping it up.

Lyra
I slowly stood up and walked over to the door. I wrapoed my nimble fingers around the bars. "So what? Are you going to keep me locked up in here until our wedding day where you're going to force me into a hideous wedding dress and force me to be your queen? Speaking of when the hell are we getting married?"

Zachary
I smiled lightly and wrapped my arm around her waist. "I'm thinking in a 3 kr 4 days. Just so we have time to get everything set up and perfect." I said to her. I kissed her temple before pulling away. "Would you like to see the garden? I'm sure you would like that part of the castle the most"
