On Lily’s nineteenth birthday, six months after the twin’s sixteenth and seven months after Lily’s eighteenth, the king gathered his children in the grand hall.
Lily, my darling daughter, you are becoming old and must marry before your twentieth year, as must your sisters. I am bringing the finest prince’s and noble’s to match them with my daughters.
No word could change their father’s mind. So, two weeks later three young men entered the castle, in hopes of gaining a princess.The first was a prince, about to become a king, the second was a young, rich, noble, general of the king, the last was third in line to the throne of the neighboring kingdom.The princesses watched from a window.
Suit yourself Cat! We all know why he doesn't love you.
Both of you stop! We can fix this. We got to stay determined.
If father really loved us he'd never marry us off!
Father wants us to marry so we must!
How is that? We are being sold off! Do I need to spell it out?
