3 years ago,the emperor of Sonova wrote to the emperor of Vliadmar. The letter stated,"With all due respect emperor Lucian Vliadmar, if I may, our schors are in need of supplies and we are sure that your mines would be enough. I hope this will become the start of our friendship and hope you see this as an opportunity for our countries to prosper."

  Father didn't respond. His ego was too big to admit that his own people were not so smart as our neighbouring country, Sonova.

  Of course it was prominent what would happen as both sides were equally egoistic. So began the war, and so came the cries, sufferings and destruction.

  It sted for 3 years until both countries decided that the war should end. So, finally they joined their hands together and agreed to maintain peace and a good retionship with one another.

  The kingdom of Sonova got part of our mines while the kingdom of Vliadmar got weapons made from their mines.

  Finally came the time for us, the Vliadmar kingdom to congratute our knights for their loyalty. The event was also held to officially state that we had joined hands with the Sonova kingdom. Before the day of the event, I was called to my father's office.

  *Knock knock*

  "You may come in" came a serious voice from my father.

  I enter and immediately bow, "Greetings your Majesty, the morning sun of the empire. You called for me?"

  He smirked and said, "Princess Lilianne, the most valuable jewel of the empire, your reputation exceeds you.As my most beloved daughter, I have called you here regarding your marriage. As you know, you have come of age but due to the war, we couldn't celebrate your joyous event. However, I know you are more mature than all of your siblings, so I put my utmost trust on you to fulfill a request of mine"

  "I am intrigued on what you may tell me, your Majesty."

  "I need you to seduce the crown prince of Sonova, prince Raphael."

  I look at him in confusion. I know my father is not one to joke. I let out, "Any choices you make are fine by me, your Majesty. But since our countries have managed peace with each other, isn't the only sensical answer that we get married for eternal peace between our nations?"

  "That's also what I thought initially, Lili. However, those resource sucking snobs don't wish to wed their one and only son to the princess of this nation. They say that they value their son's happiness over anything else. They are willing to we'd their son to any girl he chooses regardless of status. It's baffling because their son is known as a womanizer."

  My father's eyes stare at me and become more stern. "So Lili, I put my utmost trust that you can we'd this man for our nations eternal peace. Do not let me down."

  "Yes your Majesty." I bow and take my leave. I walk to my room with my head high and perfect posture. After all my trainings, this much is expected of me.

  The next day arrives and so all the preparations begin from 5:00 in the morning. As a princess, there shouldn't be and mistake on my appearance. I have to wear the most beautiful, shining dress which might be too heavy for me to carry; but somehow I have to look graceful in it. I have to wear the most exquisite jewellery, one that no one can afford but one that doesn't make me look full of myself.

  Everything I wear from head to toe has to be perfect. Any mishap and I would become the talk of the nation. I have to be the most graceful woman in high society. That much is expected of me as the princess of Vliadmar.

  The event was boring not to say the least. All I had to do was mingle with the dies. Sometimes, I wished that I could join my father and say a couple speeches. But I'm not the emperor nor the future ruler of Vliadmar.So, all I could do was watch from the sidelines.

  "Princess Lilianne" a servant called. "His Majesty has asked you to be prepared, my dy."

  I knew what my father was trying to tell me. I bid farewell to the dies and prepared myself for the seduction.
