*FLASHBACK*
*Anna*
It was so hard to sit down and look at him with this stupid fake smile. Especially when he was smiling too, I couldn't even help, but imagine who he had finally found to sell me off to, all in the name of marriage. "Anna" he continued, with that stupid smile "today Mr Evans came over to ask for your hand in marriage, he claims that he wants you as his wife my dear" . Father added the last statement with a glow only found in the eyes of a happy child, meanwhile, I was dumbstruck. Not only was Lord Evans our kingdom's highest ranked Lord, second in command to the king, even rumoured to be our unknown king's best friend and second in line to the throne, since our king has no family. Which would have made him the perfect husband, but Lord Evans was married and had a son, yes I know that it's normal for Lord's to marry many wives, but I would never imagine my own father putting me in such position, " b - but father", "No buts from you, not on this, Anna thousands of women would praise the Lord for such an opportunity and you intend to complain. I won't be so foolish to allow such an opportunity to get past us, not this time" . An opportunity, it's laughable that this is all I am to him, nothing more than an opportunity.
