The king's daughter
He tried to stop me, I could imagine his palm crashing into my face, but I didn’t let him.
“Let me die happy!” I yelled.
That puzzled him, and he decided to return to his seat again.
“Finish dinner in peace, then I have some news that will make you very happy.”
………
The king looked horrified at Isabella, he thought that her mere existence was proof that God had punished him for all his crimes. That young woman was a monster to him.
There was silence throughout the dining room, both of them looking at her as she finished each bite.
Isabella wiped away her tears, then she ran her plate away and, without looking at her father, told her that she was ready.
