"Are you excited?" you chuckled, taking a drink of water. "Of course not. As the prince said the night we met, I'm nothing but the king's whore. I mean, it's better than marrying a different man I don't love, because at least I'll live a life of luxury here. It's just funny." you confided in Kyoka and Ochaco.
"You're not a whore! Don't say that!"
"No, I am. His children are older than me. I will spend the rest of my life used as nothing but a tool to make heirs for the throne." you sat up, choking on your drink. Kyoka harshly patted your back as you hacked, trying to get the water out of your system.
"Has Princess Momo written you back at all?" Ochaco was trying to lighten the mood, but her words only made you feel worse. "Of course. I'll be seeing her later today at my wedding, along with the rest of her family." she hadn't written you back in over a week. Something made you feel like she was tired of you, and that she didn't feel the same way. She probably was tired of you, but you prayed that she loved you back.
Ochaco helped you into the bath, washing your hair as Kyoka and Mina painted your nails. "I'm so happy for you! The wedding will be awesome! Don't you think, Ochaco?" you winced. "Mina, shut up. You're making her feel worse." Kyoka gestured to you, giving you a look of pity.
"I don't need your pity, Kyoka. If I have Lady Luck on my side, I won't get pregnant. I've given up on getting out of here. I've accepted my fate."
Katsuki's mother ended up helping you into your dress, which was the most complicated thing you had ever seen. Katsuki and his father were also helping, just with the laces though. It was 'improper' or whatever for men to see you semi naked.
"You look gorgeous, Princess Y/N." Mitsuki complimented as you stared at your reflection. "Three hours from now, my freedom will forever be gone. Izuku," you waved your hand at the boy in the corner. "go get me a drink. Make it strong, I need to be able to get through this."
"Absolutely not. Izuku, don't do it." you glared at Kyoka, who spoke up. "Fine. I'll do it myself." you tried to waddle your way across your room, but Mitsuki stopped you. "Katsuki, go get her a drink. Princess, you're not supposed to be seen until it's time for your wedding."
"She can get it herself-"
"Just do it, brat!" Mitsuki slapped the back of Katsuki's head, and you giggled.
You downed the rest of your drink, shivering from the feeling it gave you. "Good luck, Princess. We're rooting for you." Ochaco kissed your cheek, and then you were off, walking towards the aisle.
At one point, your father joined you, linking arms with you as he led you down the aisle. The wedding was gigantic, with citizens from every kingdom. You swallowed your nerves, smiling at Enji from under your veil.
"You look beautiful, my love." your eyes were filled with tears, but not the happy kind. It would only be an hour from now. An hour from now, your entire being was going to be under control. You wouldn't have any more privacy. The worst part? Nobody could see your pain.
You lifted your veil, and you heard a gasp that you knew belonged to Momo- she must've recognized you. The priest started to speak, calling you and Enji a match made in Heaven. He rambled on, talking about how happy the entire kingdom was that after years of the king being single, he finally found you.
"Y/N," you looked into Enji's eyes, which held a sick form of love in then. "I have loved you since I first saw you. You have given me light in a dark time in my life. I am so happy for you to finally be my queen, and to help me rule over this prosperous kingdom."
"Enji," remember the lines, remember the lines- ignore Momo. Ignore Momo. "I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you. You've given me life, a rebirth of the most magical kind. I am honored for me to become your queen."
"You may kiss the bride." unexpectedly, Enji pulled you into a kiss, and your fate was sealed.
A single tear ran down your cheek.
