" I can never marry you."
" Your highness please, please, think of our daughter, your daughter, please..." the woman cried resonated round the palace court.
The king sitting on the throne looked at her in disgust and the queen had a joyful look in her eyes, though it was concealed through the sad expression on her face.
The man sneered.
" Do you think I care?"
The words pierced into the woman's heart and broke her sprit.
"Xavier..." She whispered.
" Take her away." The king ordered.
Guard rushed out of the shadows and lifted her from her knees roughly
"Look at her,"
"She's so shamless."
"How dare she ask the king to marry her,"
"With her slave blood, this woman have guts."
"Dearh is not even enough to atone for her crimes."
The nobles muttered amongst themselves, but it was loud enough to reach the ears of the queen
The queen smiled buy quickly returned to her sad expression.
A little girl around 5 or 6 ran out of nowhere crying,
" Mama, mama, don't go, don't leave me. Let go of my mama, let go."
The guards roughly shoved the girl aside and she stumbled but she didn't give up, so a guard was told to restrain her, but her cries were heard.
" Mama!"
Few minutes later one of the gaurds who took away the woman came back carrying her lifeless head
" No!, Mama!"
Izabelle woke up with tears streaming down her face.
A gaurd opened the door
" Princess are you okay ?"
With her head down Izabell nodded " go away."
The gaurd left but still stood gaurd outside.
Izabelel took a glass of water and drank it all.
" Mum, I swear on my life I will avenge you."
She opened the locket on her neck, and inside was a picture of a woman and a child.
The woman was very beautiful with a gentle appearance, and a nice aura while the baby was about 2 years was smiling looking cute.
Izabell went back to bed with that locket in her hands.

I woke up at the sound of the Alarm.
It was time for practice. I jumped out of my bed then heard a clinking sound, I looked at my feet then noticed my locket I quickly picked it up and dusted it then wore it back on my neck.
I put on my training clothes, picked my phone and went out. The gaurd at my door also followed me even though I hate, I have to endure it this was the rules but soon everything will change.
------
I reached the training ground and I saw others ( the gaurds and warriors).
When they saw me they bowed their heads.
" Stand up." I said to them
" Good morning your highness." greeted my sparing partner
" Good morning." I pack my brown hair into a ponytail and we began fighting.
Round one was easy cause it was only physically but round in round two we have to use our powers.
I am an ice princess. I can control ice and my sparing partner can control fire. The battle was a little bit tough but I won.
" Good match." I said to the boy
" Thank you, princess" he answered stood up, bowed and left.

I had just finished dressing up when a maid said the king request me to come downstairs
My face turned cold at the mention of the king.
Does he deserve to be king? No he doesn't.
He is a monster claded in human skin and I am going to kill him with my two hands.
He killed my mother and made me a lowly slave for 15 years.
" Hahahahaha." I laughed coldly.
He sees me as a commodity always trying to get me married and gain power.
I will surely strip him off his throne and I will hunt down those who killed my mother.
" Tell his highness I will be there shortly."
" Yes princess."
I took out my phone and played games on it for 30 minutes before going down

When I got to the dinning room the king's face was ugly.
" Izabell, do you know how long we waited for you?!" King Xavier Grande thundered
" Yes izabell, you can't be so disrespectful to the king." said my step mom, Queen Deborah Grande.
If I had the power I would have Sliced her to pieces after breaking her limbs.
I rolled my eyes at her as she was indirectly threatening me
" Apologies, your highness but I was busy."
" Doing what exactly?" King Xavier asked
" Resting."
" Resting?, Izabell the king called you but you were resting" Deborah. Yeah I don't call her queen just her name
" Today's training was much."
King Xavier gritted his teeth then said
" Today we are having a banquet for your 20 birthday, and also to announce your engagement to prince Jakob." king Xavier said and I was shocked
" Excuse me?" I was shocked. I didn't know anything about this, then I saw the evil smile on Deborah's face and then I knew she was the one behind this.
And seriously, prince Jakob? That man was a player, he uses and dumps women and they want me to get married to him .
Alright then since they wanna play why not join the fun.
" Izabell, prince Jakob has sent a proposal to me and I accepted it. He his handsome, rich and the future king. So he's good for you"
" Ok, father." I said then quickly ate my food before eating. On a normal day after I finished talking I would leave, but I was hungry and the food smelt damn good,so I couldn't resist.
What I said left Deborah and King Xavier surprised cause they expected me to throw a tantrum but no, I won't give them that satisfaction.
As I entered my room I took out my phone and dailed a number.
" Target is Prince Jakob." I said to the phone.
