The eyes of the family members around her was all serious and directed to her, she could feel them right into the bones, no one was talking, all awaiting the answer that was something she could, would, was unable to say but had to anyway, her hands were firmly gripping the metallic cylinder that contained the holo reel, they had all watched it, they were all proud and happy about the deal, she was not.
Mind trying to grip after strands of sanity, what to do, how could this all come down to this, she was an individual, not a mindless slave or a repair drone, and the Khanid kingdom and Caldari state had been friends, well, perhaps not friends but in close relations for quite some time now, even built a few ships with each others technology, how could they not see that a man from the Caldari, a god to honest true proud Civere man was not good enough for her, instead they presented this, and old, white haired Amarrian for her to marry with, this man, who had never seen the stars as she had, had no drive to want to explore, an old, fat, wrinkled man who spent most of his awaked time doing trades in the confines of his office, he did not even own a ship.
She wanted to see the systems up close, travel thru the star gates, see the last remnants of the old wormhole that she had heard so much about, nothing of this was taken into thought at this time, no one was thinking of her needs, the old fat stinking Amarr man only wanted a wife so that his sexuality would not be in question by the others, that would be really bad for business, she had heard this from a few Achurian friends and after some thought and own investigations having come to the same conclusion.
Well.. are you not going to answer me child?
Her father slowly got out of the old wooden chair, the priced possession of the family, the fathers chair, smiling, he was pleased, he knew about the ôromancerö as he called him, he even refused to say his name.
Is this not a fantastic turn of events.
You have not been able to find a good man on your own, and then this fine man have had an eye for you for a long time.
Kharidor is a very rich man, he will be a good husband to you, and he will make our family even stronger, we know he is not of Khanid, but, he most certainly will put us over the family we do not speak of.
This was all he cared about, the status of the family, the damned fool of a father.
He smirked and all the other family members smiled along with him, except her.
I.. I will have to.. this is so overwhelming, I need to, please, may I be excused for a moment father, I wish to see the message again, on my own.
The knuckles turning white when wanting to twist and rip the cylinder apart, smash it right into the smiling face of her father, spit on the rest of the family and walk out with the head held high, this was totally impossible of course, but she had a plan, oh she had a plan alright, she would never be able to see her family again, never return to any form of status within the Khanid kingdom, but, at this point, the kingdom could burn and fall for all she cared.
((Thank you all for reading this, at this point IÆm looking for pointers and criticism, just trying my had at this, have the follow up brewing, so any and all comments will read by me, and hopefully making the follow up better))
