The Princess Licorice
Chapter 02
Pov Licorice
My name is Licorice Magnolia Zelda, the youngest daughter of king Benedict and queen Vanessa, I have three brothers and are all boys, so I am the only daughter in the kingdom of Zelda. I was born when the magnolia blossomed, so my mother slightly added the name of the flower to my name.
And soon I'll be seventeen, and in a few days I'll have a simple party, that's enough for me.
"Princess will soon be seventeen years old, not only that you have also graduated from noble school." Mary was very pleased with the achievements that the princess had.
"Yes Mary." Mary's beautiful smile always warms me, my whole life has never seen my mother's smile, how she is and what her face looks like when she smiles.
I love to read and my free time will be used to read various books, such as history, politics and many more, I want to know what the outside world is like, and I want to know a lot of science from books. Right now that I am studying the basics of politics and law, I want to understand what the royal world is like.
In the world of royal politics, marriage is also one of the shortcuts to the unity of the two kingdoms, it can be a strong relationship for the two kingdoms, he said, not only that they could also build a mutually beneficial foundation.
But surely the king had to sacrifice one of his descendants, which must be married and tied to a husband and wife, and this would be very detrimental for both, and would be very mentally draining.
I read carefully this part, the part that is so important not to be missed, how would it be if I were in that position? will I accept it? the world of the kingdom is indeed very scary, they fight for each other's throne. I am not very interested in the throne of the kingdom, I am grateful for being born the youngest child, but still I am still the direct descendant of the king.
His blood runs through my veins, there is even a decreased nature in me, even if I leave, I will still be a descendant of blue blood. Actually being a royal person is a difficult thing, where we must be able to obey the rules of the palace, must always maintain good name and good manners, and must be able to stand in very good faith, he said, all of that is really troublesome.
"The princess has word that the king of Federick's kingdom will be coming in a few days."
"What was the matter until they came to the kingdom? especially the king himself who came, could he not send his messenger?." I wonder why the king of Federick kingdom came directly to the palace of Zelda.
"I also don't know princess, there may be important things that king Philip will do with his majesty."
I feel bad about it, will something bad happen on the day of King Philip's arrival? I want to know what it means to come to the kingdom of Zelda.
"Licorice.
"Can't you scream, you're always disturbing the quiet of my reading room." I'm annoyed my second brother did come suddenly in my private reading room.
"Oh come on, Licorice.Are you not tired of being constantly in a stuffy room like this, let alone surrounded by books, how about I take you around the city, that's my card for your birthday, you can ask me anything." I smiled at how considerate my second brother was, he would have taken me away before my birthday.
"Huft sis I'm happy to read, soon yes plisss." I still want to read the book, and I really enjoy it. Rafael took my book and closed it and put it on the table, he took my hand and took me out of my reading room.
"So slow, don't be in a hurry." I'm upset that Rafael's sister is asking me to run, but I'm wearing a long dress and it makes me difficult.
"Sister, my dress is long, it's very difficult for me." Rafael finally stopped running, he looked at me with a smile.
"Yes sorry.. You're long way Licorice, we don't have much time, maybe until evening I can invite you, because I'm now getting busy." indeed what Brother Rafael said is true, maybe until evening I can invite you, all of my older brothers are busy, and maybe dad is also looking for a suitable partner for the crown prince.
"I know sis... I'm glad my brother took me around, maybe later brother will not have time for me, because being a prospective advisor to the king will be very busy, and certainly rarely have free time, maybe, thank you brother for everything I'm so happy." I'm glad all my sisters love me, I'm happy because they always make me laugh, even though my heart is sad.
I always remembered Mary's story about my mother Vanessa, I always wanted to know what my mother was like, she must be very beautiful and loving. I looked at the blue sky that was covered in white clouds, everything spread beautifully closing the thin sky. Although I am dear but are they not sad after losing the diamond in this palace? moreover, that is what my father and my three brothers are guarding.
Your mother is the diamond of this palace, without you my father is a king without a queen, and a prince without a spirit, and a princess without a backrest, everything is gray, the diamond has disappeared and will never return.

Federick Kingdom
"I've betrothed you to the youngest daughter of Zelda's kingdom, there's no reason for you to turn her down."her eyes rounded up instantly, hearing news she never wanted to hear.
"What the fuck is this dad?! I don't want to marry that girl, didn't I tell you I already have the girl I love. So just cancel this stupid matchmaking."
"Shut up Christopher!!..Paith this matchmaking father will not cancel it, in a few days you and daughter Licorice will be engaged, you must come with father to the kingdom of Zelda." king Philip insisted that this was a marriage of alliances that greatly benefited the two kingdoms. And since Licorice's daughter has agreed to it, the engagement will be held there immediately.
Christopher clenched his hands, why would he marry if he didn't love each other? to hell with the royal advantage, a king is like that, they always do their best for personal satisfaction.
"You must be willing, this is for the sake of the kingdom, don't argue with me." After saying that, King Philip left,
Prince Christopher was so stubborn and so unruly that king Philip made him a general of the army, that he could be more disciplined, but still he was difficult to persuade. He was the second son of King Philip and the first queen, Sharon, who died at the coronation of Christopher's elder brother, Albert, so now the queen of Federick is his second wife.
It was hard to accept the departure of his mother, Christopher became very quiet and rude and even very difficult to manage, sometimes he did not want to listen to king Philip, but since he became a general, he was very difficult to manage, now his situation was starting to improve, and his attitude was more polite than before.
"Akhh siall's.......!! I don't want to marry that girl.I have to meet her and explain everything." Christopher soon goes to see his girl, the girl he loves so much, because she heals his grief, even accompanying him when Prince Christopher is down.
"I don't want to marry anyone but him..... "
