"Catrin! Really, what princess sleeps until the afternoon? When I was younger I was up at the crack of dawn every morning to attend breakfast, but you, you're still asleep by the time lunch rolls around." Catrin Rhomantus groaned when her mom, Queen Catarina Rhomantus, yanked her thick blanket off her bed. Usually, Catrin woke up on her own and slept straight through her mother's yelling, but today was different. It was the first day of autumn, which meant the day before the start of hunting season. Without a second thought Catrin shot out of her bed, running fore her wardrobe.
Instead of pulling on her normal dress she settled on a pair of leather trousers and a cotton shirt, which she tucked into the trousers before pulling on a pair of boots and a belt, which she settled a dagger into snugly. "Where do you think you're going in that?" One of her five older sisters spat angrily, her nose turned into the air.
"Away from you, that's for sure!" She laughed maniacally at her elder sister's shocked expression before running to her father's throne room. "Father!" She breathed, running over to her father's throne. "Father, are you coming with me? I'm going to get the traps and everything else ready for tomorrow!" A smile swelled across her ecstatic face.
"Catrin," her father looked at her with sad, yet proud and joyful eyes, "I have something I need to discuss with you." Catrin looked at her father quizzically before nodding slightly, bright eyes attentive. "You know of the Terrwyn Kingdom, correct?" Ah yes, the Terrwyn Kingdom, otherwise known as the Rhomantus Kingdom's lifelong enemy.
"Of course I know of the foul beasts!" Catrin spat, eyes full of hatred.
"And you know of my motives to become a peaceful nation with them, correct?" Catrin nodded and rolled her eyes. She didn't know why he was trying so hard. The Terrwyn Kingdom had been their mortal enemy for the past two hundred years. "There's no easy way to put this Catrin, but-"
"You're getting married to the Prince of Terrwyn." Her father's royal adviser suddenly interrupted.
"I'm doing what?!"
