Presenting marriage

My parents have been receiving gift from a man of whom I know nothing about I try to persuade them sometimes but I get no answers from them but today my mother has decided to tell me and my siblings during dinner

We all sat down at the table enjoy the elegant dish when my mother suddenly announced

" I'm happily excited to tell u all about the marriage between Jiao and emperor Qiang he's coming next tomorrow for one of the marital rites " my mother said and sat down, this enraged

" I don't want to get married...... yet" I gritted my teeth

" you have no say in it, you're getting married and that's final " my mother said in her commanding voice

I stood up angrily and stomped out my younger sister and maid trailing behind

" sister Jiao I also do not accept about the marriage, mother and father have made a mistake " my only sister Meili says

I keep walking fast in anger, my sister tried her best to catch up with me but she failed miserably, I went to my bedroom and changed my clothes to something more suitable for hunting

I went outside to the stable, grabbed my arrow and grabbed my horse, rode Jim to the forest sometimes mother and father annoy me, mostly mother, I won't smile when that man is around, foolish man wanting to marry me

------------------*

I sat down on my bed staring at the ceiling the stupid man and his family will soon come, I keep staring at the ceiling

" if you keep making that face it will stick to your face " I turned to see my maid, jisoo staring at me, she's my best friend apart from Meili

She carried a tray in her hand

" I brought tea for you " she smiled, I got up grudgingly and took a sip, how can I ever say no to her tea, like she's the best tea maker

" so u heard you're getting married soon and the Prince is coming today " she says

" yes, but I don't want to get married to that beast " I frown

" oh, have you told your mother " she asks

" you know how she is, everything she says is always at stand " I grunt

We keep talking about stuff until a maid came to tell me that the Prince and his family had arrived

I got up and walked downstairs, his parents looked happy to see me and so did he but I had to put on a fake smile, the emperor mother did seem really happy

" how bout you too have a walk together and get to know each other, while we adults have a chat " my mother said

The Prince held out his hands for me to hold but I only stared at it and said politely

" I don't wish to touch any man till I am married " I said, my mother laughed nervously while his parents smiled

" she is so pure and innocent " empress said

We walked away in silence

" I'm emperor Qiang " he smiled and I ignored him

" what's your name " he says but I ignore him, Chang comes up out of nowhere and starts to whistle

I run off to him

" isn't that your future husband " Chang says

" yes unluckily for me " I say

" that's a very rude thing to say " he says

" how would you feel to get married by force " I grunt

" well I can't " he says" you know Jiao you're really lucky to be getting married to such an handsome Prince "

" lucky? I'm not lucky " I say

" he's rich, handsome and smart you should be lucky "

" you're right he is rich " I smile deviously

" Jiao are you planning on stealing the man's money, you're already rich enough, your father is emperor of our Kingdom how can u want more money " he frowns and I nod in agreement

" the man seems to be feeling nervous how would you feel in his shoe " he says

" you're right, thanks Chang " I say and ruffle his hair

" easy on the hair " he says putting his hair back in place

I walked over to Mr prince, he stared at me nervously, poor Mr Prince

" the garden is beautiful, follow me if you want to see it " I say to him, turn around and start to walk away, I heard his footsteps behind me, we keep walking till we reach the beautiful garden

I pointed at a bench, he dusted it and sat down then patted the space beside him after dusting it, I sat down on it

" let's get to know each other " he smiled, I kept mute for awhile

" I'm Qiang, I like hun....... Ahhhh " he finished the last sentence with a shout, he looked scared while I just stared dumbly at him, I looked to see a snake
