The carriage pulled by two white horses pulled into the castle courtyard, circled once and stopped, waiting for the herald to announce the arrival of its occupant. Said occupant, Princess Francis Octavia, waited with as much irritation as nervousness for the man to pull himself together and step outside to announce her. Her father had bartered her off, as politics would force him to do with each of his daughters, to be wed to a foreign leader. Francis sincerely doubted any of her siblings were to be mated to a monster however.
She didn’t have a mind for politics, but even she understood her father was trying to get rid of her before her tomboyish ways cost him dearly in court. A few rumors about wall climbing and playing in the forest and the court was all ascandal. Not that there wasn’t plenty of truth to the rumors, but wearing a dress all day was enough to try anyone and she had no idea how the ladies did it. Any of them would have fainted by now at the prospect of being sacrificed like this in order to ensure a peace between their nation and that of Nyria’s.
Not much was known about her husband to be other than Nyria was some sort of white serpent monster. Francis didn’t hold much hope she’d make it through the evening before becoming breakfast, but dammit, she was not going to be a coward. Tossing a reproachful look at her herald, huddled on the floor, she stepped out unannounced into the castle that was supposed to be her new home.
