Helo guys! I'm starting a new story as you all can see! Enjoy it ^^

Once upon a time there was a beautiful prince. He was leading a very good life in the palace where he was born. He never had to fight in the wars his country had, nor did he had to interfere with the affairs it had. This carefree boy is called Tino. He'll be going through alot from this point on. It's the year 1xxx and a war has broken out between Sweden and Finland.

"W-what? A war?" I repeated. I hated wars. There is always too much blood-shedding and hate on the battlefield. "But why, father?" I asked, hoping that he was making a joke. " Because God has decided it to be so" he answered coldly. There was no use to talk with him about stuff like that, so I turned around and walked away, back to my room.
"...I don't want people to die for this country" I whispered softly, sitting on the edge of my bed. Every time there was war, one of my brothers or sisters got sent to fight, or to marry the king or queen, as a living peace contract. I wasn't the crown prince, so I had a big chance to be brought there this time. " Lucky for me, the king of Sweden is a male!" I said whilst laying down, having a short nap.

Some hours passed and I've woken up. It was snowing outside. I reminded myself of the time of the year. It was winter, and we had a war. That means that many soldiers shall die because of the cold. It was an unpleasant thought, and I hoped that it wouldn't be true at all. I sat on the edge of my bed, thinking of how I could possibly stop this war from going on. However, I couldn't find any solution to this.

A year had passed since the war between Finland and Sweden broke out. Finland was obviously losing, and the king had to make a wise decision. If this war continued, he would end up losing the whole country to Sweden. Many Finnish soldiers died this year, and the people of Finland wanted the war to stop. Young men contributed their lifes for Finland. Women became widows and children lost their fathers. The king of Finland started to get depressed.

"Father..." I silently muttered. My father kept drinking. He became depressed as the troops of Sweden multiplied by day. "Father..?" I repeated as he furiously threw the bottle of cognac against the floor, the bottle breaking causing shards to fly in every direction. I've never seen my father acting like this. He normally was very serious as king. "Tino.." He said, his dark eyes looking at every detail of my face. "Y-yes?" I answered hesistantly as I felt an unpleasant feeling gurgling up in the pits of my stomach. "You... Are turning 17 next week..?" He said. It quite hurted me as he didn't knew the exact date of my birth. " Yes father..." I responded, finding this question quite suspicious. " Tino, my son.." He began, "You're the only one who can stop this war" he said, his dark eyes closing as he thought of his solution. I felt my heart pound louder as he kept silent for a while. "I'm sending you to become his wife" he ended up saying. I was afraid for this. I knew this somehow would happen. " But father, I'm a boy!" I trembled while saying it. " We can disguise you... As a girl"

" But if they find ou-"

"TINO!"

" Y-yes father? "

" It's your duty to protect your country at all costs!''

I felt pressured. I didn't know what to say. Father has tried to seek peace with the neighboring country, but it failed every time. If I'd disguise as girl to their country, wouldn't they easily find out? I feared the consequences I'd have to face. " If they find out... Then you have failed to serve your country" my father coldly stated. In other words , I'd be seen as a traitor if I'd come back to Finland alive. "Tino, you'll be send tomorrow evening, and that's my final decision".

The poor prince kept sobbing through the night. Only one single thought kept the Fin content. He might be able to end this war, and protect the soldiers who are still alive. He will be disguised as a woman called Tina. She is 17 and is the daughter of the king's cousin. Ofcourse, she is all made up.

I woke up and stared at the ceiling above my bed. ''Today is the day..'' I muttered.
The sun had barely risen, and I already had to prepare for this voyage. Many maids entered my room, placing all sorts of dresses into my baggage. ''Prince Tino..'' one of the maids said. I turned around and smiled. '' P—Please be safe!'' she said, her eyes full of worries. I nodded, and told her not to worry. It actually felt nice to have people worry about you, it means they care about you.

After my baggage was packed, some other maids entered the room with a breath-taking dress, a wooden box filled with cosmetics and other accessories. When I saw that, it had hit me. I'll be marrying the king of Sweden. I'll be marrying a man instead of a sweet loving girl. A man who is at war with my beloved country.
The women started to comb my hair. It surprised me that they didn't make me wear a wig. They told me my hair was styled feminine enough. I didn't know how to receive that remark so I laughed it off. They rubbed some lip stuff onto my lips, making my lips a sweet tint of pink. My lashes were dark brown and the eyeliner was dark brown too. It accentuated my honey-colored eyes (they said). But the worst part of all was the waxing. Oh God. That hurts so bad! They waxed my legs, arms a—and even my private parts! EVERYTHING! They epilated my eyebrows into a feminine form. They sprayed a sweet scent onto my neck and wrists. After 4 hours of hard work, I was finally done. They made me wear a light pink puffy dress with a crème colored ribbon in my hair. My hair was slightly curled at the end too. I wore some light make up too. I looked into the mirror. '' Wow..'' was the only thing I was able to say. If I didn't knew the person in the mirror, I'd actually find her quite attractive. I blushed slightly, but soon my 'wowness' faded away as I thought of the marriage. I wonder how the king is like. I heard he was scary and silent. But honestly, I hope he is at least not old! Even if he is..

I have to do it! I'll do it for the people of my country!
