Chapter 16: My sweet obsession
>>Corvina
"What?" Father and Hubert both looked at me with stern expressions, "Do you have anything against it?" Hubert, who already looked at me with indifference, his gaze turned colder.
I felt my head sting. It was a weird sensation, as if my brain was moving around looking for something I had missed. And it didn't take me any longer than two seconds to find out what is was.
Ah!
Right,
It did happen. A few weeks after I turned sixteen I got engaged to the third prince. Prince Lyal. An unknown prince of the empire, that was neither the crown prince, nor a public figure. He held no influence either, well not till the time he was with me.
I only met him a few times, during our meeting arranged by the elders.
"No," I shook my head, "I have no objections." I kept my gaze low,
"Good," Father nodded, "This is the least you can do for the family, you useless child."
...
"Prince Lyal will come meet you in a few days, be sure to doll yourself up, he'll take you to the holy temple where you'll both get engaged."
