SaffronRose said:"All the same, I thank you."
After a few moments of silence, Bella looked at her Father.
"How are the plans for the banquet?"
Bella smiled brightly. "Thank you, Father."SimonW said:IC:
"And I welcome you," he replied fondly.
After a moment of ilence, Bella had asked about the banquet.
"All is in readiness, just need a few bits and bobs done. Oh, and Dirk will be coming too. I made sure he got a seat next to you, Bella."
SaffronRose said:Bella smiled brightly. "Thank you, Father."
In her head she groaned.
Bella's eyes widened.SimonW said:IC:
King Herod smiled.
"I'm glad you like the idea, daughter. I was going to leave it to later, but, since you feel the way I do, I shall tell you. I am going to announce your engagement to Prince Dirk at the banquet tonight."
OOC: lol!
SaffronRose said:Bella's eyes widened.
"What? Father! I couldn't!" she lost all words, speechless.
"But Father, I don't love him!" Bella cried.SimonW said:IC:
"Why not? It is an arranged marriage, has been for years. Ever since you were children, it has been in the minds of his parents and me to link the two kingdoms with the arrangement of your marriage to Prince Dirk," stated King Herod.
SaffronRose said:"But Father, I don't love him!" Bella cried.
ooc: wow... im still kinda speechless.
Bella left without another word, leaving the room at a run.SimonW said:OOC: lol, yeah, it a shocker.
IC:
"It is not a question of love. Besides, in time, you may find you love him. As King, that is how it stands," he stated, slightly severly.
King Herod stood up from his throne.
SaffronRose said:Bella left without another word, leaving the room at a run.
When she reached her room, she collapsed on her bed, crying.
ooc: wow...SimonW said:IC:
King Herod sat within his throne after he saw his daughter run out.
"Well, that went rather well," stated a voice from the shadows.
Dirk emerged from behind one of the pillars in the throne room.
"I hate to do this to her," stated King Herod.
"Oh, yes, I know. But, you know you must. My father....does not like disappointment. He has a greater army then you. And if you fail to agree to our terms, well...."
Dirk smirked and glanced in the diection where Isabella had ran from.
"It would be a terrible shame for your daughter if you refused me, Herod."
"Don't you dare harm her!" enraged King Herod.
Chuckling cruelly, Prince Dirk stated, "Now, why would I harm my own bride? Just keep your promise, King, or pay the price."
Dirk left the throne room, wandering down the hallways and slinked outside into the sunlit front of the castle, leaving King Herod to mull over his proposal.
King Herod felt at a loss what to do. He was being bullied by an upstart prince and his war-hungry father! Sighing deeply, he slightly slouched in his throne.
"I have no choice, she has to marry him," he stated to himself with a defeated tone.
SaffronRose said:ooc: wow...
ic: Bella wiped away her tears and sighed.
"I guess he's not so bad.." she tried to convince herself.
ooc: quite... lol. It was beautiful.SimonW said:OOC: lol, I know! Stroke of genius on my part. lol.
Bella wiped away her tears.Lady Larien said:Gwen had been walking in the fields and forests when she heard somebody crying. She looked up and knew it was coming from inside the castle. She flew up to the window. "Hello Princess Bella" Gwen said in a cheerful voice.
"Whats wrong?" Gwen said after entering the room through the window.SaffronRose said:Bella wiped away her tears.
"Hello Gwen," she said sadly.
"Have you met 'Prince Dirk'?" Bella asked.Lady Larien said:"Whats wrong?" Gwen said after entering the room through the window.
The White Dragon said:the queen was in her room writeing some thing then she got up and want to fine some one to help her delver her lattler she want all over the castle then she saw the King " why hello what are you doing?" she ask witha big smile
