Orion,I said, voice steady, give me back my dowry.” 

I never agreed to marry you.” 

Perhaps sensing that I wasn’t lying, Orion’s brows furrowed. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he caught sight of the trinkets cluttering my writing desk. He relaxed slightly

Claire, I know you’re upset, trying to provoke me” 

But I know you still care about me. Otherwise, why would you keep all the little things I gave you?” 

Under his confident gaze, I walked slowly to the desk

Then, without hesitation, I scooped up a handful of the keepsakes, raised my arm, and hurled them out the window

Claire! What are you doing?he shouted

They landed with a series of splashes in the pond below. Each one sounded like a slap across Orion’s face

Claire! Those were gifts from mehow could you treat them like garbage?” 

Well, well, well.He said in a furious tone, then stormed out of the room

collapsed to the floor, stunned and heartbroken, wiping away tears in silence

Fatheryour daughter had failed you. I couldn’t even protect the dowry you gave me

On the day of the wedding, Alice had me dressed and ready at dawn

Outside, there was the sound of celebration. Orion sat tall on horseback, looking dashing in his formal suit

He looked down at me arrogantly. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t marry me? And yet here you are, waiting obediently for me to fetch you.” 

His gaze fell on the opulent crown on my head. His expression darkened

That’s not the crown assigned to you as my wife.” 

Claire, how dare you! Just to outshine Serena, you went and broke palace protocol?” 

Change her attire!” 

Two servants came at his command, gripping my arms tightly

Shame and fury burned in me. Let me go!I cried

But no one listened. Orion even stepped forward himself and reached to snatch the crown from my head

Stop!” 

At the sound of a familiar voice, I looked up

Before Orion could react, a figure stepped between us and seized his wrist, forcefully shoving him back

Caught off guard, Orion stumbled several steps and nearly fell

The world spun around ine, but then I felt Rowan’s arms catch and steady me

Orion pointed at Rowan, furious. How dare you! Let go of my fiancée!” 

Rowan stood tall, calm and composed. With all due respect, Your Highness, Princess Claire and I are betrothed by royal decree. Are you planning to defy the king and steal his chosen soninlaw’s bride?”

reached out and took Rowan’s rough, calloused hand, raising it high for Orion to see. My lips curled into a mocking marrying?” 

As you can see.” 

Orion, I’ve told you more than oncethe man I intend to marry is not you.” 

Orion shook his head in disbelief, backing away as though the ground beneath him had given out. Had the servants not caught hi

Noimpossible. You were going to marry me. Everyone knows you love me” 

His head buzzed with confusion, everything spinning

Still unwilling to accept it, he shoved past the servants and lunged toward me

But a thunderous voice from behind stopped him in his tracks

You disgrace! You were so determined to marry the Waverly girl, and now you’re making a scene in front of Claire? What are you playing at?” 

Orion turned and froze at the glimpse of deep violet fabric. His lips parted, but no words came

When he finally spoke, it was through gritted teeth, finger jabbing at Rowan

Father, you said Claire’s husband would be heir to the throne. Rowan’s no royalblooded prince! He can’t-”
