Yue's Journal

by Katalana

Go deep inside the mind of the beloved Princess Yue as she writes down her thoughts and experiences from both her life and after her death. (I do not own Avatar The Last Airbender. The style of writing, a few of the characters and scenes are, however, mine).

4. Chapter 3-Anticipation and Contemplation

Monday, December 5, 66 AG,

Since that conversation that I overheard days ago, I have puzzled as to what it could mean. Am I to be married within a year? That is not permissible until a young lady advances to her sixteenth year. Although, a year from now I shall be sixteen...

Hm... A marriage? To whom? Shall I have to make any decisions about it? This is a choice, usually made by a father, that every girl either dreams of or dreads horridly. I do some of both. I am truly ecstatic to marry...yet I worry. My parents' match was wonderfully made, for they loved each other very much, but I have heard stories of girls who spent the rest of their lives being very distant from their husbands, and remained forever lonely and unappreciated. Shall I have to live that way? Or shall I love whomever my father chooses for me to marry?

I continue to contemplate this as I mull the dilemma of bringing this up with Father. He might become angry with me for listening in on an obviously private conversation. But if it concerns me, should I not be allowed to discuss it with him?
