Her mother had been pacing the room after everyone had left.
"Osiris what was that back their with Orion?"
Her father King Osiris was gleaming over what he'd seen, completely forgetting the power surging mess that was his daughter just hours ago.
"I know to think how lucky we are that we arranged not just a marriage but a match, Andromeda, she was marked!" So happy that this wasn't the worst thing he's ever had to do to her. Relief washed over him. But her mother, the Queen was riddled with worry. Had her daughter been doing magic without a teacher? Was she aware of herself? Was she okay? Question after question filled the queen. No more answers but 1000 more questions. Now it was dark out and Orion still had not come home. The queen was worried. She told the servant to go and fetch her brothers.
The king tried to reassure his wife "my dearest, Orion is a strong princess she will be fine, she can handle herself"
"Osiris, I do not worry of harm becoming of her, I worry she won't come back." She finally admitted. Scared her daughter feared herself. Feared her uncertain future. Scared she chased her daughter away forcing this choice on her. But what else could she do? It was not an ideal situation, no, but it wasn't like she would just let anyone marry her daughter. She would at the end of the day pick her daughter over her kingdom. Some say that makes her a terrible queen. But others would say it what makes her a great one. To value the individual over the many. Her daughter has to know that this was the only way the other territories would agree, if they were willing to give up their daughter, the only girl to be born into royalty with the throne to show they hold no ulterior motives and simply want for all everyone and to survive and take down this rising power.
