I had always wished that I will find a mate with both inner and outer beauty such as the ones mom use to tell me about when I was young. But considering how long I have waited I really doubt such kind of a girl really exist. For the sake of the kingdom and to get my parents off my back I had to get engaged to the only other angel in the kingdom.
I might not feel the mate bond between me and my current alleged mate. But she got most adorable virtues that any man would have desired. Not to mention she will make the most kind hearted queen of the kingdom.
My expectations of a princess should have been corrupted by my mum's childhood stories. According to her, princesses are always adorable beautiful and kind but the more I became an adult I realize that those were just stories. Physical beauty just soothes your eyes while a pleasant character and mind is permanent and soothes your soul.
I hope I will start feeling our mate bond soon so that I can give her the love that she deserves.
AVA'S POV
I wake up with dark circles under my eyes. I didn't get much sleep after the party. I had accompanied my price to the room I had specifically chosen for him. The one closest to mine. I also had spent half of my night awake trying to figure out all the possible ways to convince him to get rid of my stepsister permanently and as soon as possible.
I figured it out that our father would never want the price to ever realize that he is associated with her in any way leave alone him knowing that she is his daughter. He may be of great help at eliminating his own daughter. I may as well try to get the price to love me more so that he will do me more favours. I need him to give my stepfather the authority to execute her himself. I really hope Talia will not recover any time soon or she will destroy my plan and I'll have to get rid of her to.
There is a sudden knock on my door and I remember I had asked my mother to get the three maids who are now my witnesses so that I can take them to the price personally.
I ramage through my clothes looking for the best dress . I need to make myself irresistible. I put on my best blue shot dress and ask my personal maid to apply make up on my face. A few minutes late I stare at my self on the mirror and I think I'm good to go. I start for the door when my maid speaks.
"My lady! I did cleaning yesterday and I can get you a more beautiful dress." She says smiling.
I have never liked the old woman she behaves more like my mother than a maid, like she has the authority to tell me what to do. I'll have to get rid of her when I became the queen.
"What's wrong with the one I'm wearing?' I ask impatiently.
"I think it's a little bit too short." She states making a demonstration with her forefingers making it seem like I'm wearing a f*****g handkerchief.
What a dumbass woman, no wonder she got divorced. I know men and I know the price will like what I'm wearing.
"Just do your f*****g job and stay out of my business, maid!" I say the last words slowly hoping she'll get the hint that she is too pathetic to advise me.
I walk out of my room feeling less confident as I was a few minutes ago. The woman can really destroy my moods.
I make sure that the maids understand that they must only say what I and my mother told them before asking them to follow me.
I knock softly on his door several times before he opens it.
