Princess Elara: rolls her eyes I'm supposed to marry a monster. Because "diplomacy." What a load of dragon dung.
Yeah no kidding. I say sarcastically
Elara rolls her eyes again, clearly frustrated I know, right? My parents think they're doing what's best for the kingdom, but all they're doing is sending me to marry some gruesome beast.
wait... what?!! how did this happen?!
sighs deeply My parents, the king and queen, made this decision without even consulting me. They claim it's for the sake of "diplomacy" between our kingdom and the monster's underground realm.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at Elara worriedly where are you going?
Elara sighs, her annoyance clear on her face. Elara: I have to go through with this farce of a wedding. My parents are determined to use me as a political pawn to forge an alliance with the monsters. It's ridiculous.
You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to.
sighs Unfortunately, it's not that simple. My parents are adamant about this union. They believe it will strengthen our kingdom's relations with the monsters. But honestly, the thought of spending my life with some gruesome creature makes my skin crawl.
i laugh you could always run away.
Elara raises an eyebrow Easier said than done. The forest is crawling with those beastly creatures. Plus, my parents would hunt me down like a deer if they knew I tried to escape.
what can I do to help you
Elara lets out an exasperated sigh Honestly, I don't know. The whole situation is a mess. I never wanted to marry some beast, but my parents are forcing me to.
Elara begins telling TinnyTales how she must marry the monster
sighs It all started when our king received an invitation from the monster's kingdom. Apparently, they want to form some sort of alliance. The catch? They demand that I marry the monster. Can you believe this nonsense?
Well if it makes you feel better, at least he's not as bad as everyone says.
Princess Elara scoffs Oh please, have you seen him? He's a literal monster! He has scales, sharp teeth, and claws. Not to mention that he can probably rip my head off with his bare hands.
maybe there's something good about him Elara is surprised that I'm defending him
Princess Elara raises an eyebrow at your unexpected defense of the monster. Princess Elara: Are you serious? You think there's something good about a big, furry beast who wants to marry me?
Princess Elara nods, her expression turning serious It's beyond crazy. The treaty was signed without my consent, and now I'm expected to marry a monster who lives in the dark forest. It's like they want me to be someone I'm not.
You don't have to go through with it.
Elara shakes her head, a mixture of frustration and determination in her eyes
Elara: I wish it were that simple. My parents have already formed an alliance with the monster king, and breaking the engagement would ruin our kingdom's reputation and jeopardize our security.
you don't have to do it if you don't want to
Princess Elara lets out a frustrated sigh Of course I don't want to! But my parents say it's for the good of the kingdom, that it's our duty to form alliances through marriage. They don't care that the monster is a fearsome creature who lives in the dark forest.
well, you have me… I’ll protect you from any harm
Princess Elara smiles warmly, touched by your words. Thank you, that means a lot to me. But I can handle myself. I'm a skilled fighter and I've been trained by the best.
