(Blossoms POV)

"Blossom,you're not getting any younger. You really should find a husband before it's too late." My sister,Princess Bubbles said as she sipped on her tea.

"I'm only 23," I said,frowning slightly. "Exactly!" She replied. "Mother was only 20 when her and father got married. As the oldest child,you should have accepted a man's hand in marraige a long time ago."

I rolled my eyes and focused on my crossword puzzle. "Bubbles, I haven't met the man who will sweep me off my feet yet." Bubbles giggled slightly. "That's because everytime he arrives at the Castle gates you make up excuses not to see him!"

Bubbles and I erupted into a fit of giggles. "A princess must not laugh so carelessly!" Madam Bernice said as she walked in with a string of maids behind her. Bubbles and I quieted immediately.

"Princess Blossom,The King has requested an audience with you. The maids will help you get ready. Do not be late." She said as she walked out of the room.

"How do you survive with her?" Bubbles whispered. Bubbles had left home a year ago,after marrying the Duke,Boomer. Buttercup,on the other hand,had joined the royal army. And I had taken over all the princess responsibilities.

"Ma'am,which dress do you prefer?" A maid asked as she laid the dresses she had brought in on the bed. "I'm fine as I am," I said as I walked out of the room. The maids stood in shock. Madam Bernice would probably yell at them and say," The princess was wearing her afternoon tea gown! what is wrong with you? why did you let her leave like that?"

I heard Bubbles apologize to them as she ran after me. "Blossom,you will get the maids in trouble if Madam Bernice sees you in this gown." She said,smiling softly.

"I doubt Father can tell the difference between an 'afternoon tea' gown and an 'audience with the king' gown,so it doesn't matter." I said, as I headed for Father's private study.

I knocked three times on the door before stepping in. Father was alone in his room. "Father you wished to see me?" I asked as I took a sit across from him. His facial expression told me it was news I would not take kindly. He sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Blossom, King Brick asks for your hand in marriage." He said, not bothering to beat around the bush.My eyes widened. Of all people in the world to court me it had to be King Brick?!

"Father,I will not accept!" I said, rising. Why would I marry into that family? A family that caused trouble everywhere they go. I would rather die alone. Father sighed. "Blossom,you have no choice. It has already been decided." Hot tears threatened to fall and I blinked them away. I could see on Father's face that tears would not change his mind.

"Why Father? Why me?" I asked. I deserved an answer at least. Why are I being married off to the likes of them? Father shook his head. "Blossom, our two countries have been in conflict for far too long. Marriage between the two royal families will bring peace. That is why the King wishes to marry you."

"Don't I get a say in all of this Father? Is this not my life?" Father raised his hand to silence me. "Enough! You will leave in the morning. The maids will pack your things and your wedding with King Brick will be next week and you will marry him Blossom. For your kingdom." I was dismissed shortly after.

As soon as I arrived in my room,I fell on the bed. Bubbles asked all the maids to leave and shut the door. " Blossom,you look unwell. Did father have bad news?" She asked as she sat at the edge of the bed.

"Father is marrying me off to King Brick. I must leave for his kingdom first thing tomorrow morning." I could see Bubbles go pale. "B-Blossom... does father not know how dangerous he is? He is trouble!" She said,shaking slightly.

"I know,but there is nothing I can do. I tried everything." Tears fell and I hurriedly whiped them away. I was supposed to be the oldest and set a good example. Crying would send a bad message.

"Just promise me... you will not fall in love with him," Bubbles said. Her worries were not wrong. Brick really was a monster. His reputation preceded him. Every female who fell in love with him had their heart's crushed in the most painful of ways. Brick really spared no one's feelings.

Falling in love with Brick would only cause more problems for myself. Right there and then on my bed as I drifted off to sleep,I vowed to never fall in love with King Brick.

...

"Be careful," Bubbles said as she hugged me the next morning. She would be leaving for her home soon. Buttercup had wanted to be here today,but her work needed her more. She had promised to attend the wedding next week. My wedding,I thought grimly.

"Princess Blossom,the carraige is ready for your departure." Stealing one last look at what was my life,I said goodbye to life as I knew it.

The carriage ride was quiet and I soon fell asleep,all thoughts of what was to come,vanishing for the moment.

"Ma'am,we have arrived." The carriage driver said as he woke me up. I looked out the window and sure enough,after almost 5 hours,we were finally here. He opened the door and I stepped out.

Many maids ran towards the carriage,and grabbed my belongings and led me inside. Once in my room,a maid came to me and said,"My name is Amber, I'm your personal maid, Princess Blossom." She seemed nice and we quickly got along.

"King Brick's coronation is sometime next week. His father gets more and more unwell each day,that is why Prince Brick must be announced as King soon,so that he takes over all the responsibilities." She said as she unpacked my stuff.

"And where is King Brick?" I asked. Shouldn't he have welcomed me personally? Amber seemed nervous and she avoided eye contact. "Amber, where is King Brick?" I asked again,squinting my eyes.

"H-He and his lady friend are still in b-bed your Highness," She said finally,looking at the ground.

"At two in the afternoon?" I asked and she nodded slightly. " Has he no shame?! I came all the way here and he's still in bed,and with a woman? The nerve!" I yelled as I rushed out the room asking anyone I met where King Bricks room was.

Amber was hot on my heels begging me to stop,but I ignored her. If I had actually listened to her,my first meeting with my future husband might have gone a little bit different.

But I didn't,and everything happened as it should have.
