Learn To Love

"Our marriage is not based on love" He said turning away "Our marriage is based on duty. To bring heir for the throne. No one will address you as Fire Lady, it was Mai's title not yours. You'll bow to me and Mai whenever you see one or both of us. You will fulfill your duty as a Child Barrier and that's it" And he left without giving her so much of a second glance

1. Prologue

"That's it? There's nothing you could do for her? That can't be it" The young Fire Lord screamed at the healer.

The healer, just a shade darker from a corpse, shook his head and gulped. "N-no. I'm sorry Fire Lord there is nothing I co-could do f-for her. I'm afraid she had been p-poisoned. The poison had prevented her from being pregnant, and she'll be weak." He stammered

"So then… that's it? Right? That's it." The most powerful man in the Fire Nation said silently, and the healer noted silently that his silent was scarier than he had when he was screaming at him.

"I'm afraid so, my lord"

"What will the Fire Sages said to me?! AH! We can't bear a child. She can't bear a child" He runs his delicate fingers through his already messy top-knot.

The old healer gulped and raised his hand "Well, there is one…"

"Maya! Maya! Where are you? I have big news for you!"

The girl, no older than 19, sighed as she continued to ignore the old woman's voice calling for her. When I'll be married later, I'll marry because of love She thought as she stared at the two young couple laughing happily from her window that is until the door swung open with a violent hearing slam.

"Great news! I just got letter from the palace, from the fire lord!" Her mother already in her sixties, she noted silently, still had the spirit of a teenager.

"The Fire Lord?" Her curiosity got the better of her

"U-huh" She said waving the red scroll, with the Fire Lord seal at her.

"For who?"

"For you!" She nodded eagerly and gave the scroll to her

She hastily open it and read it silently, and her eyes grew as big as a size of a plate "I-I'm getting married?"

"YES!"

"To be the Fire Lord's second wife?"

"YUP"

"But… what happened to Fire Lady Mai?"

"It turns out that she had been sick and that she can't bear a child. So the Fire Sages instructed him to find a second wife. But, since his first was his choice not an arranged one, the Fire Sages had the power to pick the bride. And that is you!"

"There's no way to refused it, isn't it" She mumbled only for her ears to hear "Well then I guess, I'm getting married then." And there goes my last chance of happiness.
