Here a new story expect some english mistakes just saying hope you will enjoy it!

Today was a big day in Sybil's life and she had absolutely no idea about it when she woke up that morning. Since her birth she had always been the joy of the family as well as the nicest. Everybody loved her and since her young age she was really naive. She thought she had all life in front of her before thinking of grownups topics.

She woke up quite early and as usual after her maid dressed her she went to say hello to the staff before going in the lunchroom to eat her breakfast. Her parents never understood why she cared about the servants since she was born. But they lived with her all her life they were part of her family too. And since Sybil was her parent's princess she could do whatever she wanted they would let her. She always lived a happily care free life and was happy with it. But today all her life was going to change. It started at breakfast.

"Hello mama, what a great day today!" She said acknowledging her mother.

"Indeed Sybil Indeed" Sybil didn't like the ton her mom was using. Her dad entered the room a little after.

"Oh Sybil you're already up, good thing it's a big day today. Grandmamma is coming here today."

"She's coming here almost every day what's new." Sybil care free mocked.

"Watch your ton young lady! You're not a child anymore you now have to behave like a women." Her dad almost screamed.

Sybil was more than shocked , her dad never talk to her like that. He never ever screamed at her. What was he saying about her being a woman, all right she was 20 now put she felt like a little girl and everyone always treat her liked that. All that ceremony about her grandmother coming was troubling her. A day that had started so well started to turn grey. She finished her breakfast silently and did nothing until lunch but dreaming of wild and romantic young loves. Her grandmamma arrived home quite early and the all gathered in the leaving room. Sybil sat anxiously wondering what was going to happened, she knew it wasn't good the atmosphere of the room was nothing but heavy.

"You told her already or did you left me the pleasure to do it myself." Lady violet said to excited for Sybil's taste.

"No mama we left you the pleasure and after all you're the one who knows all the details."

"Well my dear Sybil i have a great news, you're getting married!"

"What! But i'm too young, i mean i don't even know him! i can't, i won't."

"You'll do as i say Sybil!" Her dad shouted.

"But who is he? How old is he? Why did he agree to marry me?"

"Well He is an Irish duke, i heard he had the biggest castle in all Ireland."

"If he is so rich why does he want to marry me?"

"i must say the story of his life is a really sad one. He lost his wife and only son a year ago, Lady Stewart his only sibling left, convinced him to remarry but he left all the details of it in her hand and fortunately Lady Stewart happens to be great friend of mine and i proposed you as a bride. She's coming tonight to see if you fit, so please behave well."

"And if i don't?" Sybil challenged.

"Really Cora, you spoiled the child! There is no if! young lady, you will behave well!"

"You can't let this happen mom! What if he is a monster and treats me badly, it will be all your fault!"

"Oh, Sybil don't be so dramatic, I'm sure he is a good man. We will know more about him tonight , now let's eat, I'm starved." Her mom said.

Sybil understood that for the first time in her life everyone was against her and she had no say in it, she felt helpless and she wanted to cry but she kept a straight face all through lunch. After she quickly ran to her room and busted into tears laying on her bed. How could her parents do this to her? Didn't they love her? Who could she marry someone she didn't know? She thought life was so unfair to her! She pity herself for some time until Anna entered her room to dress her.

"Did you hear?"

"Yes Milady."

"How could they?"

"You don't know until tonight if you will really marry him and if you have to i'm sure you will be happy."

"i hope so, really, the marriage is for life, doesn't love should count?"

"Oh milady sometimes the arranged weddings are more solid cause the feelings can never leave."

"Perhaps you're right i hope he is a nice lad cause i'll have to leave everything for him even my country."

She left the room and rejoined her family to wait for lady Stewart arrival. Her mom tried to make her smile more but she didn't listen. She didn't want her family to be ashamed of her and she didn't know what lady Stewart could say to the world to destroy her reputation but she couldn't bring herself to act happy. Lady Stewart arrived and greeted lady violet directly then her parents and finally came her turn. She looked nice and at least she will know someone in Ireland if she tries to befriend her.

"Oh, you must be lady Sybil, you're such a beauty lady Grantham didn't lie a bit."

"Do i ever?" Lady Violet joked.

"Thank you lady Stewart." Sybil replied politely

" Well if you may follow us dinner is ready."

They all settled at the table Sybil was in front of Lady Stewart who was by the sides of Lady Cora and Lady Violet. She kept watching her all dinner perhaps to see her manners. She didn't talk much, she was not really supposed to. Her mom asked to know more about this Irish lord. Lady Stewart gladly answered her, she saw him almost as a god, it was surprising but it reassured Sybil.

"Oh, he is the truest man on this earth, he run his estate so well, a bit modernly i must say. He is nice with everyone below him and he has a big heart."

"How did he manage, you know, his wife and son death?"

"Not well i must say he loved his wife so deeply, every inch of her, it was a love wedding you know and i don't know which one of their death hurt him the most."

"Are you sure he is ready to remarried and will treat his new wife well?" her mother asked.

"Oh i'm sure his new wife will have all she needs and desire."

It's seemed to please Sybil's mom like life only revolved around materials things. Sybil answered all Lady Stewart questions, she started to love the woman and that Mr. Branson didn't seemed so bad after all but when she learned he was 30 years old she got a little be scared about how he could look. What did she expected he had a son after all. She went back to her room to leave the adults discuss about her future without a say in it. Anna stared to prepare her for the night when her mom came in.

"Oh dear Sybil, she said yes you're the lucky one who's going to marry Lord Branson!"

"The lucky one isn't the term here."

"Sybil, grow up! You can't do anything you want! You will have tons of money and a big castle!"

"Mom i don't care about those things!"

"Oh, right all you want is love!"

"Mostly yes!"

"Then you should fell in love with this Lord Branson cause you're marrying him! We'll leave to Ireland next month for the wedding."

"Mom, do you love me?"

"Of course Sybil what a stupid question."

"Since you want to send me all over to Ireland and never see me again i doubt it!"

"Don't be a child I'm too old for that, go to bed!"

She finally went to bed and thought that this morning she was to happy and innocent and all her life had changed in one day, she felt asleep not without a few tears falling from her eyes.
