devil's fang

Princess Emilia was sitting in her chair, thinking about the upcoming wedding, she was only 14, but her father did not stop it. Salt water trickled from the girl's eyes. The princess was already calming down, but her heart was still heavy. The girl got up from the chair and went into the historical corridor. In this corridor, there was her entire family tree, or to be more precise, already deceased relatives. the founder of the kingdom, great-great-grandmother, great-grandmother, grandmother and portrait of the mother. Emilia's mother's name was Margarita, she was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom, and died when Emilia was only 5. She was killed by their gardener, Because of envy, she was the second most beautiful in the kingdom, and thought that if you kill the queen, the king will choose her as the new queen, but unfortunately or fortunately, she was quickly deduced and executed. Emilia reached the historical corridor, and approached the portrait of her mother. A young girl, about 25 years old, was sitting in the portrait, her long, brown, curly hair was loose, and she was dressed in a lace dress the color of the deep sea, stars were visible in her dark brown eyes. - mom, I need to tell you one piece of news - Emilia began to tell the portrait of her mother, and another tear flowed out of her already red from tears, - my father is going to marry me to the prince of the heavenly kingdom, please tell me what to do, give me a sign. - the girl finished, and more tears flowed from her eyes. The girl sat down on her knees and began to cry, suddenly, through the open window, a large, black feather flew in, with a red overflow, such feathers were only in the crimson raven, or demon. Emilia calmed down a little, got up, and taking the pen in her fragile fingers, went back to her room.

An hour passed, Emilia was sitting in her chair as usual, she was looking at the pen, trying to figure out whose it was. Crimson crows were not uncommon in the kingdom, but demons. There have been no demons in the kingdom since its foundation, because they were considered a product of evil, and not people, not angels, did not want to have anything to do with them. To tell the truth, Emilia always wanted to make friends with a demon, after all, can't all demons be cold-blooded murderers? In any case, her father would not be satisfied with such a situation, because he forbade her to be friends, even with simple, poor citizens of her kingdom, so in the list of her friends, there was only a rich nobility with whom Emilia was not particularly friends, except for a girl named Sophia, she had short black hair that emphasized her bright green eyes, she herself was quite tall, and two years older than Emilia Katrina, the maidservant, came into the girl's room. "hello, Princess Emilia," the girl said in her gentle voice, "your father is waiting for you in the refectory with the guests," Katrina said and left the room. Emilia got up from her chair and thought about who the guests were, she didn't have to think for a long time, because obviously it was a business conversation with the queen and the prince of the heavenly kingdom. Undoubtedly, the prince was handsome, his hair was the color of sand and his eyes were the color of a nut, but the girl did not like him in love, she talked to him after the announcement of the upcoming marriage, he was also not particularly happy. Emilia went into the refectory, her father and the queen of the heavenly kingdom were sitting at the table, the prince was sitting a little further away. Emilia approached the guests, bowed slightly and greeted them affectionately, as was customary in their family. She sat down on the "royal" Chair. there were many different dishes on the table, and there was a bottle of expensive wine "justice" On the label of which it was written "strictly after fourteen" The girl always laughed awkwardly at the ambiguity of this amendment. The father, drinking wine from a beautiful glass, began to talk about where the wedding would be held. In the very garden where Mom died. When the king finished his rant, Princess Emilia and the prince went for a walk in this garden.

Fucked up," said Emilia, after a walk in the garden. Unable to hold back her tears, the girl jumped on the bed, plunged into a velvet blanket with her head, and pulling her favorite toy, a snow leopard, began to cry into it.
