Chapter 1: Big News for a Prince and Princess

CPOV

I sighed as I made my way down the stairs to the throne room. Yes throne room. I am Princess Clarissa Morgenstern, daughter of the King Valentine Morgenstern and Queen Jocelyn Fairchild of East Idris. My parents had summoned me down to the room to meet our guests the King, Stephen Herondale, Queen, Celine Herondale, and their son Prince Jace Herondale, of West Idris. I don't know why they were staying with us I mean they had their own castle to loiter in. So why loiter in ours?

I opened the doors plastering a smile on my face and curtsying. "Good day, your majesties. I welcome you to my humble abode and hope you enjoy your stay. My home is your home and you are welcome any time." I said sweetly.

They smiled at me except for Prince Jace who just looked bored, Oh lord I hope I won't be seeing him to often and that these random visits won't become a habit although he is quite handsome but I wouldn't dare let him find out, lord knows his ego is probably big enough, I thought. "Why thank you Princess Clarissa. We are very happy to be here and have wonderful news for you and my son." The Queen replied smiling gently at me.

I attempted to raise an eyebrow but failed miserably and instead asked "Really? Well I can't wait to hear this wonderful news."

"Yes, we will announce it shortly Clary dear but first why don't you go get ready for dinner and we shall talk about it over dinner." My father said smiling at me. I love my father. He was a very sweet man and treated me as an equal.

"Of course father. I shall see you all soon and-"I was interrupted by a loud crash followed by a moaning noise.

I sighed and muttered "Oh Izzy."

I opened the door revealing a moaning Izzy sprawled on the floor with a platter of tea surrounding her. I rushed to help her up. "Are you okay Iz?"

"Yeah I think. Sorry about that I tripped over Jem's tail." She said referring to my puppy she then looked and saw the King, Queen and their son and her face grew red with embarrassment.

"Izzy, this is their royal highnesses' King and Queen Herondale and that is Prince Jace. Iz why don't we go get ready for dinner."

"Okay. Nice to meet you your royal highnesses' again I am sorry for my little accident and shall see you at dinner."

We curtsied and left to go get ready for dinner.

The princess and that girl Izzy left to go get ready and I tried to get a hint from my parents to as why we were here in this godforsaken castle but they wouldn't even give me a hint. I didn't want to admit it to anyone or really even myself but the Princess was actually quite pretty with her curly red hair, emerald green eyes and petite frame.

We made our way down to the dining hall and a few minutes the later the princess and that girl returned.

Once we were all seated and the drinks and food had arrived my father finally told us the apparent wonderful news and I must say I was shocked and quite frankly upset with what he said, he had said "Prince and Princess the reason we are here is because we have decided you two are to be wed-"he was cut off by me spitting out my mouthful of water and the princess choking on her food but she quickly recovered after Izzy smacked her back. She said in a low voice "I'm guessing Prince Jace and I don't get a decision in this matter."

"No Clarissa dear. I'm afraid not you see your marriage was decided when the two of you were born." Her father said.

She replied with "So in other words an arranged marriage."

"Yes, that would be correct." My mother replied.

Oh dear lord I'm screwed and so much for my father and equality, I thought.
