Flashback:
"Father I'm not ready to be married!" I yelled at him.
"Jessica! You will marry Arthur in little under a week!" my father ordered.
"I refuse to marry someone who I've never met!" I protested.
"Well that won't be an issue, we're dining with his family tonight!" he said.
When we reached the palace, we were escorted to the banquet by a young boy he was handsome and he had the most startling, deep blue eyes. He pulled back a chair for me to sit down. I saw that everyone was already seated. I sat facing Arthur, he was a handsome boy with blond hair and blue eyes, as I looked at his face there was a form of arrogance and self pride which didn't appeal to me.
After dinner Arthur took me to his room. As I entered I saw the boy that had escorted me to the table, sweeping out Arthur's fireplace.
"Jessica, he is my servant Merlin." Arthur stated in his arrogant voice.
Who could think such an attractive person could be a just servant.
"Hi, Merlin I'm Jessica" I said reaching out for a handshake.
"There is no need to be formal with the servant" Arthur said in an impolite tone.
I smiled and slowly pulled my hand back, he smiled back his teeth were perfect and his smile was so innocent.
"So are you looking forward to becoming Princess of Camelot?" Arthur asked in a stuck-up tone.
"I'm not sure" I said.
That night I lay in my bed completely frustrated that I had to marry that arrogant little brat. My father and Arthur's father, the king Uther had betrothed me to Arthur a few weeks after was born. Uther only agreed because my father was of noble blood and my father agreed because he always does what he thinks is best for me. Why doesn't my father understand that all I want is to have some freedom and marry who I want to?
I sighed as I drifted off to sleep.
