Episode 1 The Marriage
it was Anastasia's 18th birthday celebrations ball when the Royal verdict was declared upon Anastasia as a gift from the royal family.
Eunuch
Anastasia grace, the daughter of the grand Duke and Dutchess, you are honoured with the title of the royal princess and given the opportunity to become the spouse of the Second prince Leonardo Belarus. It is a royal verdict.
To Anastasia it was more like a curse rather than gift.
Anastasia
*falls to the ground* no...i don't want this *tears emerge from her eyes as her face turns red*
A royal verdict can't be rejected as rejection of a Royal verdict is punishable by death, hence there was no way to save Anastasia from getting married to the second prince, the rumoured monster
Anastasia
father please do something!
Alvaro Grace (fl's father)
I'm sorry my little song bird but we can't reject a royal verdict. *looks down ashamed* I'm sorry please forgive your incompetent father....
Everyone present in the ball was pitying poor Anastasia for her misfortune as she is engaged as soon as she turns 18 and to make it worse, she is engaged to the second prince Leonardo Belarus who everyone despised.
Eunuch
*reads the remaining verdict* the marriage shall take place 5 days from now.
Alvaro Grace (fl's father)

Eunuch
It's the royal verdict and cannot be changed.
Anastasia
*falls into despair* my youth is ruined.
Leona Grace (fl'mom)

Leona Grace (fl'mom)

Both Anastasia and her mother looks at Alvaro with hope
Alvaro Grace (fl's father)
I'm sorry *looks down In shame* i can't
Every Nobel in the land attends the wedding, the wedding is grand and beautiful but, it seemed more like a funeral rather than a marriage. Nobody had a smile on their face, not even the bride, neither the groom.
The groom waited for the bride, As the bride walks in, holding the hand of her father. as they walk up to the aisle, they walk a little slower hoping they would never reach the aisle. Anastasia's head was bowed as she didn't dare look up to her miserable fate.
They finally reach the Aisle as Leonardo stretches out his hand, asking Anastasia to give her hands and come stand with him, Anastasia hesitated, she couldn't let go of her father's hand as she looked at her father through her veil.
Leonardo (Second prince)
come here *pulls Anastasia by force*
Anastasia
ah! *she looses her grip over her father's hand and is forced to stand beside the second prince, who was staring down at Anastasia's small frame*
Leonardo (Second prince)
you look a gorgeous little dove *stares at her*
Anastasia looked mesmerizing, and the white bridal dress added to her beauty, making her look like an angel. Anastasia looked small and tiny compared to Leonardo. Leonardo was tall and muscular while Anastasia had a petite figure.
Anastasia
*I glanced at His hand, gripping my hand. his hands were so big that my hand wasn't even visible in his grip* (What If he hits me with those hands? what would happen of me?) *i gulp down the lump in my throat and keep looking down*
Leonardo (Second prince)
I can't wait to hold you in my arms *whispers in her ears*
the whisper sends shiver down her spine as suddenly remembers that after the wedding they will be having their wedding night and this huge rough man in going to take Anastasia's vir*inity
Anastasia
*trembles in fear*
Leonardo (Second prince)
*notices Anastasia's shaking in fear* don't worry i will try my best to be gentle but i can't guarantee anything.
