Truce
AN: This happens before the Milesians forced the Sihde to leave the surface of the Earth.
The news of the truce spread like a wildfire through the palace. Princess Selenity ran to find her mother, Queen Meagan, hoping that the rumor was true. 'If it is true, then all the senseless deaths will stop.'
The rivalry between the Milesians and Sihde had long since changed from the friendly one it had started out as so long ago. Over the past three years it had escalated into a full fledge war.
Selenity's footsteps quickened as she neared her mother's solar. With a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, she knocked on the door.
Her mother's voice floated out to her. "Come in."
As she turned the knob, Selenity worried about the weariness that she heard in that short invitation.
********
Princess Selenity stared at her mother aghast. 'She is proposing a political marriage with the Milesians? Or is it something she has already agreed on?'
Queen Meagan smiled at her only daughter. "It would join our two nations together, and put an end to this ... rivalry between us." She laid her hand on Selenity's shoulder, and rubbed soothingly. "I know this is hard. I never wanted you to have make a decision like this. I wanted you to to be able to marry for love." Her voice faltered.
Selenity smiled bravely. "It's okay. If it stops the war, then..." She straightened her shoulders. "Then I'll be fine."
Queen Meagan searched Selenity's face. "Are you sure? Not that there is much choice, but are you really okay with this?" She watched as Selenity's uncertainty struggled with her sense of duty.
"Will I get to meet the Crown Prince and have time to get to know him before the wedding?" Selenity eyes pleaded with her mother.
Meagan nodded slowly. "That was one of Prince Brendan's requirements also. His decision might change the wedding." She rubbed a hand across her brow. "But everything has been agreed upon and signed, so I doubt it."
Selenity closed her eyes briefly. 'At least there is a chance. A chance for us to learn to like each other. A chance for this war to end. A chance for our people to join together as one.' Opening her eyes, she looked back at her mother. "When is the Crown Prince to arrive?"
Seeing the acceptance in the bright silver eyes gazing at her, Meagan felt ashamed of what she was doing, but knew she wouldn't change it. "Next week."
