I hate the idea of a arranged marriage 😔 I read romance novels
original catarina
and I also see our people when I am aloud to go outside of our castle and even a few of the servants that fall in love the look they have in their eyes and they smiles they have on their faces and the redness on their faces is it bad that I want that as well I want the man I love to buy me flowers and to be by my side no matter what and at least ask
original catarina
for my side of the story and to trust me and know I only have eyes for him I want that so bad ❤ but that won't come if I am randomly chosen to marry a guy yah it might come months or years later or it might never and he could have multiple wives and forget about me that would hurt so bad
original catarina
💔 or we only a couple for show and I only get pregnant because I had to not because we were making love and we got a beautiful child in the process why can't father understand I want to pick my husband 💔😢 a few other kingdoms let the princess do it why can't I why can't my father love me in the way that he will let me marry the man I love even if it's one sided at least I marry a man I loved not forced into a marriage 💔😢 I really hope i don't get chosen I pray to the gods that I won't be chosen

princess after princess after Nobel after Nobel did what they prepared some did dances some sung , one wrote a song and sang it to the crown prince(she sang horrible and the lyrics were worse then her singing and that said something cuz everyone's ears were bleeding metaphorically.......I hope)

original catarina

zaren (fl father)
💭 what is she doing
original catarina
*walks in the middle of the room and nodded to her maid who Catarina taught how to play an instrument and so the maid was playing it and Catarina was dancing so elegantly and beautifully with the sword that no one and I mean no one dared to take their eyes off her for a single moment or they would miss the dance once she was done she bowed and graciously hands the sword back to the prince and goes and sits down *
and the rest of the Competition went and did the routines they prepared for
after another 3 hours the entertainment part was done
