{Chapter I}
It all started a few days ago, when I was announced to become the fiance of the 2nd Feline prince, Espris D. Vaxium.
“ MOTHER! How come I was not informed of this !?!” My tail lashed violently back and forth; I was absolutely livid, how could my own mother marry me off to the prince without speaking to me first?
“AMELIA! I did this for your sake and you know that in being a lady you must marry wealthy, you’re lucky I was able to snatch a man for you let alone a prince! Do you know how many strings I had to pull?” she held me in a steely glare,” now I want you to prepare yourself to meet the prince, we’ll be heading to the palace in the evening.”
I couldn't look her in the eyes, her betrayal felt like a sharp whip against my back. I merely shot her a glare before heading to my room where our maid had prepared the clothes I was to wear. We would be staying at the palace for a few days so the maid had also prepared my suitcase, but for now the maid helped me into a beautiful red gown. When I was all prepped and ready i headed out of my room where my mother met me in the main parlor, she eyed me up and down making sure there wasn't a hair or string out of place, when she was satisfied she spoke,
“ now that you're ready, let's go, the carriage is waiting, we should arrive at the palace in the morning.” I nodded and handed my luggage to the butler before following my mother to our family carriage. True to my mother’s word we arrived at the palace in the morning.
The palace was a stellar piece of architecture. It was quite intimidating with rows of roaring tigers lining the pathway up to the main palace, each one looking down on me blazing ruby eyes. I looked away from them, focusing ahead. When we arrived at the entrance the royal butler met us at the door, “ good day, welcome to the royal palace of the family Vaxium. I will be in your service during your stay here. I will show you to your rooms now, please follow me this way” he gestured his hand into an immense parlor, it was giant. The butler led us down a hallway and led us to our rooms. My room was delicately decorated with ornate detail. I stayed in the room until lunch where I was to meet the prince for the first time.
