Chapter 3

The ridiculous thing is Valia and Connor never even asked my opinion on this ball they just said you have to do it. Of course I had to comply I mean they're my adopted parents. I don't know how I could have denied them. I considered petitioning the law and if they were anyone but my parents I would. I was the next chosen ruler at such a young age, if I would've known at a younger age I would have had them change it. I didn't find out about this until three months ago! Four months before I have to marry a man and claim my adoption right. Only four months! Didn't they think I'd want at least a year's heads up. Besides the point it's illegal in America for anyone under 16 to be wed. But Connor isn't considered a part of America since it was created for the purpose of parents to get rid of their kids. The legal marriage age for Connor is only 14 but the legal ruling eligibility age is 15. Which is why Valia and Connor have let me put this off until this year.
