Arranged marriage to the princess of the Red Scorpions

"Who's this thin twig in front of me supposed to be." the girl asked, boredom in her eyes and a slight frown on her face as she poked the leg of the boy sitting in front of her. She looked far less pleased than he had expected her to. Before he had a chance to speak though, a older, deeper voice broke the silence to answer the question. "This is Samuel, Lena. Your soon to be husband." Both shot their heads over to the man who had just entered the room. "Really, this is Sammy-boy, eh? I had been expecting something rather different, but I suppose he does have a good face." the boy felt rather offended at her comment but chose to keep his mouth shut until they were alone to tell at her Samuel Foster would be turning 18 in two weeks. He grew up in a fairly normal low case family home with his parents and two younger siblings. The thing out of the ordinary was he knew for as long as he could remember he would be getting married at 18 to a girl he never had met before due to a promise his family had made. Lena Scarlet, Princess Scarlet was feared by many, respected and loved by everyone near her. Deadly as she was calm, her one annoyance in life was the arranged married he father decided upon before she was born. Being fiercely independent and trained to protect herself, she never felt the need for a relationship or marriage as she fully capable of taking care of all her needs. However, a promise was a promise and whether either of them liked it or not, their parents were at least going to force them to live together before calling the wedding off.
