Kathy face change completely, great just the way to start her day she thought. The king she hated him as much as she hated her step mother.
" Don't worry about your...I mean the king, I'm sure it's nothing." Martha said nervously
" Wanna know the difference between me and Cinderella that I hate so much , her father wasn't present." Kathy said and proceed to the door." We'll talk later." She said and left.
But they couldn't talk they needed to run away Martha thought, she's got to get everything ready.
Kathy went to the throne room only Royals and advisors with of course the guards were allowed in here . She walked slowly taking her time eyeing all the people in there, she couldn't bring herself to look at her father's face it was too painful.
She looked at the others though. Her uncle Williams, her aunt clara , her aunt's husband Matthew, her step sister ( older one at that) Paulina, and of course her witch of a mother.
She went to her seat facing all of them. She was upset but was powerless to do anything,
" You called." She said they were all quiet for awhile
" Well yes we did." Clara decided to break the rather awkward silence." D..did..you heard of the news lately." Clara asked she seemed nervous about something that made Kathy smirked
" About my sudden marriage." Kathy said nodding her head ." I did why?" She asked
" Do you approve.?" Williams suddenly asked
" Does it matter, I don't even know who I'm getting married to now do I." Kathy said
" How deceitfully cunning of you Emily, so you didn't tell her who the hell she was marrying did you?" Williams asked
" I didn't feel like telling her." Queen Emily merely stated
" You never cease to amaze me Emily." Williams said smiling sarcastically but the Queen just shrugged
" So are you ready to tell me just who I'm getting married to?" Kathy asked as innocent as she could and Paulina scuffed
" Well it's prince Damian Alliengn from Althreaze." Queen Emily said not fazed
" The rumoured one." Kathy said slowly
" Yes ." Emily simply said
" And may I asked what shockingly situation spirred you to arrange a suicide marriage for me." Kathy asked and they were shocked . She wasn't the type to talk or question back
" Oh you've sharpen your tongue I take it." Emily said
" Well you're so bent on getting rid of me in the most terrible way possible, so tell me why should I hold back now. If you are so desperate to kill me why not just poison me instead?" Kathy asked and everyone looked at her was this Kathy that they all knew. All the while the king said nothing and she was glad of that.
" Listen Kath, we never planned this it just sort of happened." Matthew tried to explain
" And I got nothing to do with it right? So tell me why does it have to be me to get married to the lion instead. Why can't Paulina get married?" Kathy exploded.
" What how Dare you low life..." Emily begun but was cut short.
" Low life to a prince, now isn't that just interesting." Kathy said
" Listen to me you ungrateful bitch. If I say you're getting married you're getting married and that's that." Queen Emily said boiling
" You should choose your words carefully Queen Emily, I haven't anything to be grateful for." Kathy said.
Emily was so mad she thought she would burst
" So kath you don't want to get married right?" Clara looks shaken. A thought came into Kathy does she want her to marry the prince.
" Why are you asking her she has no say." Emily said
" Oh really then Paulina should get married instead after all we all know she's a whore." Williams said and Emily gasped
" How dare you talk to my daughter in that manner." Emily shouted
" Your daughter is here Emily ask her. There is no need to be shouting." Clara said. Paulina face turn red
" Shut up you miserable little thing." Queen Emily said
" Kathy do you want to get married or not." This time it was Matthew who asked. Kathy wondered why they were asking her.
" I said she doesn't have a say." Emily began again
" Emily that's enough." The king Ethan finally spoke.
Kathy gritted her teeth just the voice of him alone was just enough. Oh how she's come to despise his every being
" Kathy." Her father called softly
" Yes your majesty." She said
" Do you want to get married to the prince." He asked
Kathy felt like a shot of lightning struck her. He was asking, they all were asking. How could he ask? . They want her to say yes that could be the only reason because she couldn't think of any other reason why they would ask her if she wanted to get married to a devil. Kathy saw the satisfied look on Paulina face. The king's words made her very weak . Though she hated him she didn't think that she'd take it, he was abandoning her
" Do you all want me to say yes?" She asked and they all went quiet .
" Of course not." Clara said
" Then?" Kathy asked
" Well we don't want to mess with the Althreaze now do we." Clara said laughing nervously
" Of course not." Matthew said and Williams rolled his eyes
" So Kathy do you want to get married?" King Ethan asked again
Kathy was fuming red , what the hell is wrong with her ' family ' . Why did it have to be her? She slowly looked at her father . The realization finally dawned on her, he wanted her to get married instead. She means he had three daughters with his witch of a wife can't one of them go? She was the only child of her late mother so why must she be the one to go into hell.
" Do you want me to marry that prince rumoured to be the mad one." Kathy asked the king
" Kathy..." The king began
" Don't call me that name, you don't deserve to call me that. Not anymore." Kathy said
" You little pest. " Emily said
" I'll do as you say." Kathy said to the king and everyone eyes widened what did she say.
" Kathy listen, you can't do this to me." King Ethan said
" Yes I can, I'll only listen to you. So tell me . I'll do as you say . " She said waiting. Some how her sixth sense told her Paulina was smiling.
