Aurelia always thought they was nothing more to her life other than being slaves to others
Until this very day
A man putting on very expensive clothing came to the their house, he came with a letter, sealed with wax crest like none she has ever seen.
It symbol was a dagger through a star.
It wasn't jogging any memory of hers.
She wondered who it was from, moving forward to get the letter.
"Ahh" she fell down
No, she was pushed by her cousin oriana,
Who rushed to grab the letter see how rich the young man was looking.
She immediately went blank once she saw the name on it.
It was from the Thalzorin.
It was a marriage request, no request means you can say no to it .
It was a demand.
" Princess, what is wrong" that Aurelia uncle
" mar...mar..marriage letter" oriana stuttered
The letter clearly stated that the daughter of the virell is to get married into the Thalzorin family in a week time.
Oriana fainted after seeing the letter, while Aurelia stood still.
The man left while their entire house was in chaos .
Aurelia finished her chores and returned to the living room but the atmosphere was different.
Everybody was staring at her
Mrs. Anne was kneeling in front of her uncle.
It looks like they have decided who would be getting married to the Thalzorin family.
"Mrs.anne, no need to plead for me. Am More than willing to go away from here"
She had already anticipated the possible outcome.
And Aurelia was prepared to leave this current hell she was leaving.
She went to her room and sat down,
Everything just started flooding in, from her loss of parents at a young age.....
To getting married to someone she didn't know
she really wasn't ready for anything before it happened
She forced her tears back and layed down , she turned around for a very long time and finally fell asleep.
Aurelia woke up to the soft sound of Anne voice
"Wake up darling" Anne voice said
Aurelia has developed a fever over night
Anne quickly called the master (oriana father) for help.
Aurelia was taken to a hospital.
The doctor said she suffered from malnutrition.
Anne knew the Thalzorin family won't be happy about it.
But Anne was happy, it seems like heaven was helping them.
If Aurelia was sick she can't get married in a week time.
" Little miss shouldn't get married in this condition, sir" Anne said with concern
Oriana looked at her dad with tears in her eyes
She couldn't afford to get married to that family
Rumors had it that their bride never lasted a day in the house
Her uncle heart was already made up, he wasn't willing to sacrifice his own daughter.
Even though she was older than Aurelia.
He didn't pay attention to Anne
" Then sir at least arrange for a better room for Lia once she wakes up, so that she could recover early" Anne Said
Her uncle simply raised his hand and body guards had the room arranged for her.
Aurelia finally woke up but she was in a different room, this room was warm.
Not like her shabby room
This was different.
She sat up and saw Anne laying next to her.
Anne explained the situation to her
How hypocritical Aurelia thought
After years of maltreatment, they treat her nicely only because.
They don't want the Thalzorin family to know she isn't well.
Her heart stung. This feeling was the feeling of betrayal, pity for oneself
It is alright she would be married soon
Was it going to finally be over or was it just the beginning
*The Thalzorin estate*
Inside a Ball room sitted a man in his 40s.
It was the head of the Thalzorin family, his eyes was shut and his head rested on the head of the throne at the end of the room.
"Are you sure draven would marry her" the man who just got back from Aurelia house said.
Mr. thalzorin was quiet
A young man walked into the room, pushing the doors wide open.
This man was in his 20s.
It was Draven.
Mr. Thalzorin opened his eyes looking straight at Draven.
This wasn't the first time this scene was taking place.
The Rich suit guy looked at both parties before walking out.
"I don't want to get married to her" Draven simply said with a cold expression
Mr. Thalzorin was even colder " I don't remember asking you what you wanted "
The atmosphere was getting extremely cold
Both parties was staring at each other intensely.
" If she is like the rest, I won't hesitate ending her life" Draven said before walking out.
Mr. Thalzorin remained sitted.
The Rich suit guy came back in.
And then went out after a few minutes.
* The virell estate*
Aurelia sat at the balcony of the virell mansion, the sky was drowning in twilight filled with purple and deep golds.
The weight of her newly found fate was pressing her down.
She stared at the sky for a very long time.
She eventually fell asleep.
Days passed by quickly, they was no stopping it.
Night came and soon it was morning.
Today was her last day here,
Aurelia walked around for a while, the estate was big.
*Slap*
Aurelia grandmother just hit her.
" How dare you try stealing from my precious granddaughter" she said
Aurelia was still in shock trying to process what just happened.
Oriana was standing there glaring at her
Her grandma told her that even if she was about to leave the house she still won't leave with a single thing.
How bad could marriage possibly be Aurelia thought.
Grandma, no need to hit her, just let her have it oriana said holding their grandmother hands.
Aurelia has always been the quiet type.
She said nothing even though she didn't do it, she still never stood up for herself.
"No this daughter of a bitch can't take what belongs to others"
After searching her and found nothing, and enduring several hits
Oriana maid finally came and gave oriana the diamond necklace.
Oh no, grandma I gave Lucy to help me polish the diamond. Oriana was smiling looking directly at Aurelia
All of this was going to be over after today.
So Aurelia thought
