The princess's love
Chapter 1
In the royal palace in the kingdom of Slytherin, Princess Serenity, the only daughter of King John and Queen Malory and heir of the Slytherin thrown, looks out the window of her room at the kingdom that she will one day rule. Tonight was the night of her grand birthday ball, where all the nobles in the kingdom would come and wish her a happy 17th birthday. Tonight was also the night that her father would announce her engagement to Lord Draco of the house of Malfoy a marriage which had been planned since Serenity was a little girl. Serenity shuttered at the thought. "Why did my father promise me to such a horrid man." Lord Draco was a greedy man who wanted to marry Serenity only for the crown of Slytherin. He did not love Serenity even though he pretended in front of her parents. She walks around her big room and sighed. "Father does not understand that if I want to marry, it will be out of love and nothing else." She heard a knock on the door and Queen Malory walked in. "Hello Serenity, are you ready for your ball my dear?" Serenity forced a smile. "Yes mother, I am ready." Serenity had on a dark green velvet gown with a silver stomacher. A silver hair net held her long, silky, black hair. Malory smiled and got out a small box. "To my lovely daughter on her birthday." Serenity took the box and opened it. She gasped. It was a beautiful tiara. "Mother, it's beautiful." Malory smiled and placed it on her head. "It was mine. I wore it on the night of my 17th birthday when my father announced my betrothal to the king." Serenity sighed. "Thank you mother, I shall cherish it always." Malory looked at Serenity. "Serenity, I know you don't agree to your betrothal to Lord Draco, but the king thought it best for you. You will learn to love him." "Mother, how could father know what's best for me if he doesn't even ask! I will never learn to love Lord Draco! He's a cruel, greedy man and I despise him!" Serenity sat down on a chair and sighed. "I always thought I would marry for love and not for comfort or duty." Malory sighed. "I know sweetheart, I would have loved to see you marry someone you loved, but your father is very ill; he's doing this so you will be well taken care of when he passes on. Please Serenity, try to be happy." Serenity looked at her mother. "Alright, I will try to be happy. Now, let us go to the ball." Malory smiled. "Yes, let us go." Princess Serenity and Queen Malory walked out Serenity's room on their way to the royal ball.
