Percy- 20
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Annabeth POV
I never wanted this to happen but it did. It was the decision that changed my life and would change my life forever it was the day my loving mother Queen Athena of England note the sarcasm decided she needed for me to get a husband it was the best day of my life in the future but worst day of my life right now. It was just those three words that changed everything.
"Your getting married." her mother said without any sympathy in her eyes it like she didn't even care about what Annabeth thought or her opinion.
We were all in throne room in the Athens castle. My mother called all of her children Annabeth, Malcom, Bobby and Matthew to the throne room and said it was a complete emergency. It must have been because when she called them they were all in their Pj's and it was 4:30 in the morning some of us half sleep others just knocked out.
"WHAT! HOW CAN I BE GETTING MARRIED I'M NOT EVEN 21 YET THIS IS A OUTRAGE MOTHER!" I screamed in response how could she do this to me! I mean me.
"ANNABETH MARIA CHASE!" Oh god. She knew I hated it when she called me by my full name. She only did it when she was angry. "HOW DARE YOU talk to me in that tone young lady. You are getting married because when I step down as queen you will be my heir and ruler of Athens." She said
"What about Malcolm he is older than me and if I am not mistaken by the ancient laws the first born is always the heir." I said with a calmer tone but still just as firm.
At the hearing of his name Malcolm woke up instantly from his sleep but falling out of his chair in the process. "Sis I've already told you I never wanted to be king I signed my rights off to you when I was 19 years old so its yours and I already called no take backs."
"Then I give my rights to them." pointing to my now sleeping twin brothers
"It too late Annabeth the royal court is getting angry and they demand a heir within a year time and one that is 21 or turning 21." my mother said
"Who shall I wed? Last time I checked there is no eligible bachelors out there that are worthy nor royal." I replied with a small smirk on my face
"Well there is one his name is Perseus Prince of Atlantis a fine and rather handsome young man. He is your age and single and his brother Triton is heir to his father Poisedon's throne but is in second in line." my father spoke for the first time since we arrived he had a look on his face that told me he didn't like the idea either.
"His father Poisedon is annoying and rather stupid but his mother Queen Sally is sweet and kind such a weird combination I would say. But Darling this marriage will not only on be beneficial to you but the kingdom too. Athens and Atlantis have been at cold war for years always agreeing and disagreeing on certain things. This can help us as a nation unite and join forces that will help the economy. " my mom countered
"So I'm just your economy fixer you just want to use me?'' I said clenching my fist in anger.
No one answered
I sighed in defeat "But arranged marriages have not been used in Athens for 180 years. Why now?" I asked
"Well marriages now are kind of arranged. Usually they put the two children together when they're young and they grow as friends hopefully more than and usually more than that and they engage but thats not the case Pumpkin. Listen I know that this will be hard for you but you don't have to do this we are asking. If you don't agree there will be no marriage then our family will no longer be heirs to the throne and a cousin will get it but if you accept then the monarchy will live on." my father said sympathetically
"We love you Anna but this is you choice yes or no and we need it now." my mother said lovingly
I thought about for a few seconds do i really want to be in a arranged marriage? I don't even know the guy. I mean I can tolerate him for a few years maybe but forever?. I don't have to have children with him I'll just die and Matthew or Bobby's kids can be heir I really thought about it too. I was never one of those girls who cared for guys I didn't even want a husband so this wouldn't be so bad.
"Ok fine I'll do it." I said after a few seconds
"Great I'll tell Monica to call Sally immediately we'll host a ball in a week so you two can get aquatinted with each other." My mom said standing up from her throne giving me a hug in the process. "I love you." she said with a small smile
"Here is a picture of Perseus." my father said handing it to me
They were defiantly right when they said he was handsome. He was waving to a crowd in Atlantis. He had windblown combed back jet black hair but I can tell that his hair was messy. I could tell by his arms that he was very athletic and fit. He was smiling a amazing smile with his perfect teeth, but the most amazing part was his unbelievable sea green eyes that made my legs almost buckle.
"Thanks I'll see you in the morning. Love you!" running to my room down the corridor up some stairs all the way to the other side of the castle.
I opened my two doored door and went straight to my desk to my laptop. My room was simple but huge. I painted it gray and blue in some places but mostly gray with owls painted on the walls. It had its own mini kitchen with a king sized bed with a sitting area and a plasma TV. I also had a huge room sized walk in closet that I didn't fill up at all enough for two. I also had a desk area were I spent most of my time with blue prints scattered everywhere.
I immediately search Percy Jackson on google and clicked on wikipedia. He grew up in Atlantis has two brothers Triton and Tyson. He fences and is a excellent swimmer even qualified swimmer. I moaned every girls dream guy I thought but I bet he was just some stupid stuck up rich guy. After I was done I went back into bed and closed my eyes immediately drifting into a endless sleep.
