===Kiley's pov===

I whimpered softly as my father approached me, his harden gazed stared at me. I wanted to look away but, I fear the consequences if I did. He stopped near the bed side, I quickly sat up and looked at him. He remained silent for a few moments, before I could blink I felt a sharp sting on my cheek. I whimpered once more, he raised his hand once more to me.

"I heard what you had done while you were with the prince" he said coldly

"I'm sorry father…I…I just" I stutter

"Did I ask for you to speak" he said

He slapped my cheek once more, this time he did not hold back. I fell onto the bed, the tears slowly fell out of my eyes. My father grabbed my wrist and pulled me onto my feet. Then he dragged me out of the healing chambers, I held back my tears from the servants we passed. Father would punish me more if I were to cry in front of the servants. He opened a door on his right then threw me inside, he locked the door behind himself. I started shivering…why must father hurt me?

"Do you know how embarrassed I am to hear my daughter had fainted in front of the prince of the Upper Kingdom" he said

I did not answer, he would only slap me if I would speak out of turn.

"I give you the chance to impress the prince but, you ruined it. Now he is with both princesses from the East Kingdom. At this rate, one of them will marry the prince. And you what happen if they do marry the prince" he hissed

He slapped me, I whimpered knowing he wanted an answer.

"You will lose your kingdom" I whimpered

"That is right, and do you know what will happen when I lose the kingdom" he asked

"…we will lose everything…become nothing" I said

"You understand now. You will get the prince's attention and make him marry you" he said

"But father" I said softly

"But what" he growled

"…I want to marry someone…I love" I said softly

After I said that I was on the floor, my face stinging like the burning rays of Ra. The pain was unbearable but, I could not cry. I would only be hurt more. I felt a swift kick to the stomach.

"Marriage is not about love, if it was your harlot of a mother wouldn't have slept in another man's bed" he hissed

That's right…father always tells me I am not his child…I never knew about my real father or my mother…Father just only tells me that he banished them into the desert when I was born…I do not know if they are alive or…

"Be lucky, I deiced to keep you instead of banishing you to the desert" he said

"…I'm sorry father…I will do as you ask" I whimpered

"Good, cover your face. You will embarrass me if you show yourself with those bruises, and change for dinner" he said

"Yes father" I said

I slowly got onto my feet, my eye sight dazed for a second then cleared. My father left the room, I better hurry and dress before his temper raises once more. I walked over to a trunk that was set in front of the bed. I opened it and looked through the clothing inside. I chose a white dress , along with a violet sash, and a dark violet sash. I changed into the white dress, then wrapped the violet sash around my waist. I wrapped the dark violet sash around my face, doing the best I could to cover the bruises. I walked out of the room. My father looked at the clothing then nodded slightly. I smiled gently, hoping he would smile back. But, all I got in return was a harden glare. I whimpered softly.

Father began to walk away, I followed behind him. I prayed silently, please gods all I ask is for my father to love me.
