 "Father you cant be serious, these conditions are ridiculous. To prove myself? I have worked all my life for this. Incase you havent noticed."  She spat out at her father after hearing his first condition he was making before letting her rule the kingdom. Tavia thinking it couldnt get any worse as she pinched the bridge of her nose trying to not fly off the handle at her father. WHat was wrong with him and why was he putting a condition on her taking over rule of the kingdom. 

The King gave a soft sigh and looked at his daughter, staring at her beauty and how much she had reminded him of his late wife.  "Tavia, there is one more condition. You must marry. I am giving you a year to complete these two conditions. " He stated in a stern voice, he hated doing this to her but he needed to know that she could lead the kingdom and make it through hard choices, it was why he needed her to prove herself. The second one, marrying someone, was simply ruling alone was gruelling task, one in which had cost him to much time from his daughters side while growing up. He had watched her from afar but never to close as his duty as King had always pulled him away. She might of seen it but he cared deeply about her, afterall it was his only family he had left. 

Tavia hearing the second condition couldnt hold back her raging anger that now coursed through her body. Slamming her fists down on the table she glared at her father.  "How dare you tell me I have to marry. I dont need a husband or want one. Please reconsider Father. I can do the first one, I will prove myself to you. But please dont make me marry againt my will. " She stared him down as if that alone would make the man change his mind. 

He kept his head held high as he shook his head no to her and then spoke, his tone stern and harsh with her as he needed her to complete these two things.  "No Tavia. I have already made up mind. If you dont do these two things, then the kingdom will be up for grabs." Knowing that would motivate her a bit more, knowing full well how hard she had trained and worked to be the kingdoms next ruler. 

Tavia glared at her father as tears of anger fell from her eyes, she turned and left the room. For the next five days, she had came back every one of them to try and convince her father to change his mind. To tell him different reasons every day why the conditions were pointless and that she didnt need to complete them. By the end of two weeks, she decided there was no way her father would budge on this matter. The only thing left to do was to figure out how to complete both of his conditions so she could take her rightful place as Queen someday. 

Spending the next two weeks working non stop, trying to come up with a way to get both conditions completed within a years time. Getting married was something she never thought she would do but finding the right person was going to be the tricky part. A tournament. The best suitor winning her hand in marriage at a tournament. It would be an easy plan to carry out and she was sure there were plenty of men wanting her hand. With on plan down she started the preparations to get the word out across the lands on what she would be holding. The other condition of proving herself to her father was going to be a lot harder to come up with. Tavia still at a loss at what to do but knew that carrying out the first plan had to start. It would take some time for the suitors to show up at her kingdom. 

A month had passed since the first wave of notice went out among the kingdom, letting all know about a tournament for the princess's hand, holding by none other the Princess. People were allowed to start showing up upon reading the notice. Tavia had kept herself busy and out of the eye of the public while the castle started to get suitors around the kingdom. She was not ready at all to hold this tournament and give her hand to complete stranger all to save her kingdom from falling into a strangers grasp.
