Marilyn , the name was haunting , It was bruising. My father named me Marilyn , He wasn't a father to me . To me , He was monster . I didn't shed tears because my folks gave up on me , I didn't cry because leaving that house was a freedom . Even if I was trapped in another one . But leaving that ground made me feel happy .
'You have no right to eat today , You shall work till dusk until you starve ' He said , pulling away the book from my hands and pushing me out the doors of the house .
'You know what to so , I want the yard clean , not one spec of dust . I was all the wood sticks to be collected in the shed , You will not enter my house unless I am satisfies with your work . '
I grabbed the sticks from the ground , tossing them in the shed . Dusting all the leaves however it was all in vain . They kept falling from up above . I kept cleaning until the sun had gone behind the huge mountains leaving the village in a cold ,dark and freezing state .
He hit me . Because I was born a girl . He and my grandparents wanted a boy . A man who could work for them . My mother couldn't give them another child . They destroyed my childhood .
Mother never gave me the warmth I need during the chilly nights . I had bad dreams . Dreams that no child should have. I was threatened to be married to a older man till I turned a age , All for my father's need of money . He was a addict . He had never gone a day without alcohol .
Giving a women alcohol to drink was a sign . It was a sign of turning her into a amusement for men. My father gave me alcohol one night . He sat me on the table with his companions looking over me . He forced the drink down my throat .
I ran away that night . Came back the next night to be left alone . Outside the house . He didn't take me in for one whole day . Left me in the snow to freeze .
" He wasn't a father to me , The one who gave me this name . I prefer Rosetta " Because The king called me Rosetta . I was his rose . I belong to him . I had giving him myself . Submitted myself to him and I will never question his decision . Even if I was to become a mistress to him . Even if he chose a Queen who was not me .
Because I wasn't worthy enough to him .
" And what if he was to make you his mistress ?" I heard the deep growl from My king . He was angry . Tears brim my eyes but I smile . " I shall never question My king's choices Your Grace . I have submitted my self to him . He shall do whatever he pleases with me . B-But , "
My knees go weak as they touch the ground . I was bowing to the late King and Queen who watched me . I heard Aric call for me . " Please do me show the kindness and not leave me back at the the brothel " . "Rosetta , Stand Up " . Upon hearing Aric's voice I lift myself up . His arms wrapped around me making me suck in deep breath , I did not dare look up .
" Choice is over me , Who I choose as a wife is my decision not yours " I gulp .
In this kingdom , When the king passes his coronation ceremony . He is named as the the god of all . Also above the previous King and Queen . The king shall do what he wishes and no one is to ever deny or decline his decisions .
When Aric spoke to the late King and Queen in such manner as if addressing to his subjects it made me see his other side . He was the ruler . They all bow to him . His power was shown to me when Both his parents stood up . The never gave him a bow but they never talked as Aric was insulting his mother's words .
" We only hope for the best . Let's sit and have dinner shall we Aric ?" I was given The seat next to his mother . I was hardly able to eat while the royals sat around me. The time we were done Aric stood up and grabbed my hand . " We shall be leaving now " He did not wait for any reply .
Whether she was to become his Mistress or his Queen . His mother had no right or power to meddle with his decisions . The king gets what he wants in return of protecting his people . She knew better than to make his women leave his side . She was devoted to him , any change in her behaviour if his mother caused it would result in her getting banished or never to be spoken to again .
He was just like his father ,she thought . " He is a tough ruler Clara , If he wants her now , he will need her again . He is my son . And you know how much protective we get of our belongings . She belongs to him now . I suggest you to lay off . If that women gives us an hire is our only concern . And looking at her , I assure you she doesn't have any dirt on herself " Aric's mother gulped .
"Of course " She said leaving the hall .
" What had you father done to you Rosa " She creased her eyebrows unable to forget the hate her father showed her . "I-I am sure you have much more important things to look at-" She squeaked as he pulled her into his chest . Biding her hand behind her back , her chest collided with his . His eyes fuming with rage . Demanding a answer from His Rosetta .
"H-He wasn't a good father " She replied . Aric was filled with anger when his precious spoke of him . His father wasn't as good to him but never had he raised a hand over his son . Never had his parents insulted their child . Then again , The future King was never to be spoke to in such a way .
The way his Dove's father had treated her , the way she cried speaking of him and her family gave him a better reason to punish them .
He ran his hand over her cheeks , the dried tears . Her soft skin , down her neck and her soft heaving chest as she slept peacefully in his arms . His hand were rough but he took enough care to make her snuggle into his rough hard chest more .
He frowned , in anger giving his little queen several kisses . " I am sure you will hate me when you see my true form . But you belong to me now . Submitted to your king and you will never get away from me . I shall always have you here , In my arms . Where you belong . " He whispered kissing her lips . Her soft noises made him smile .
That smile turned into a smirk . A smirk far away from something sweet . It was sinister . He was planning . Happily Planning the death of each one of the family member . How beautiful will be to have their blood painted over the walls of his deeps dungeons .
