My Obsessive Hubby Is A Prince
Chapter 1 - A Single Princess
Why do most good things come at the expense of others?
If you want to expand your country, there will always be lives lost in the war.
If you want more food, you are taking the chance for someone else to be full.
This world is full with consequences and actions. It's down to luck whether you create those consequences or suffer because of them.
I was born in the top 0.01% of the country as the second Princess of a burgeoning kingdom called Fyora.
In the eyes of the public and unfortunately in the eyes of my father, I am seen as the one closest to the people.
While I am the most liked royal out of my whole family, I was the black sheep between them.
I don't believe in war, or sacrifice, or even pain.
But the one thing that I do believe in is consequence.
My father broke me out of my daydreaming state, my eyes turning right towards him.
I've never respected him as a man, much less a monarch. All he believes in is sacrifice.
As today is his 56th birthday, the whole capital has gathered to honour it in the most "Redgrave" way possible: putting foreign slaves to death in an arena.
I find it disgusting; in fact, I find it revolting.
Nya Redgrave
What is it, Father?
King Redgrave
You don't seem pleased with today's festivities.
He knows that I hate it. Forcing me to attend, dressed all regal... I wanted to punch him in the face.
Nya Redgrave
Shall I pretend to enjoy it? Perhaps I'll bet on a warrior like my brothers have.
My father showed his disapproval with the way I spoke to him.
King Redgrave
You've become increasingly unbearable lately, Ananya.
I hated that name. Ananya... I much preferred to be called the nickname my mother used to call me, Nya.
Nya Redgrave
Have I? I guess that I've finally broken into that stage of adolescence.
He slammed his fist against his throne, making my whole family, including my step-mother, turn towards me.
King Redgrave
You will smile, you will laugh, you will gasp, and you will cry. But I won't have you judging me, is that clear?
I'm doing more than judge you, Father. I'm cursing you for finding amusement out of this.
The trumpet then sounded and his eyes found the arena, like a dog who hadn't seen food in weeks.
King Redgrave
It's starting!
I clenched my fists as I watched the men fight and get brutally hurt, and even murdered.
Slaves from war with our two neighbouring countries, forced to fight to have a slim chance of survival.
I was offered food and drink but refused. How could I stomach anything after witnessing such horror?
Then, my attention suddenly found the very last man to go up against the current champion.
His skin looked tanned from the desert and even from a distance, I could see his shining amber eyes that reminded me of one of a panthers.
And immediately, I could see that he looked just like me.
Trapped in our own different situations... but we'd always fight against it.
