I kind of would have said that, too, for some reason.
She stretched out her hand, "I am not accepting this, but some light while I show you around would be good. As soon as we are done, I am giving it back to you," she said sternly.

How sweet, but it seems a little too convient for him to openly be so pleased to see her by even bringing her a gift, but something feels off.
"Here's your present," he said and pulled out his hand from behind him. "I don't know if you know it, but all you have to do is—"

This must excruciatingly difficult for Bel. I kind of feel bad for her now.
Bel knew she couldn't hang around the door. She was here to show she could be agreeable. She rushed in with her mother, and when she was close enough, she bent her knees and her head as she grabbed the hem of her dress.

I highly doubt that you'd like a review of how things went, so might as well behave temporarily.
Bel pushed herself off the bed; she could easily protest against this. She might not win, but she could make it unbearable for both of them. However, the incident from this afternoon still haunted her, and she didn't want a repeat of it.

Me too, because pretty much everyone knocks first. Might be her dad. 🤔
Suddenly her door flung open a little too forcefully. Bel jerked out of bed, frightened, wondering who it could be. She doubted just anyone would barge into her room like that.

Princesses don't really get the luxury to choose who their husbands are.
Bel grimaced and looked away from her mother, wondering what part of her apology said she was happy about the marriage.

Staying up late to entertain the in-laws is what the queen has been doing.
"I know, but staying up late had an effect, not to mention the other circumstances also took their toll on her."

For real, sister Hazel is right. If you have to do this, make some demands!
"It does," Hazel insisted. "You might not have a choice about marrying Prince Davien, but you can decide how everything else goes. You can make demands both to our parents and the vampires. You're only missing one chess piece, not the whole."

It might be too late for sorries.
"I am sorry, father," she said as he placed his hand on the handle. "It was not my intention for things to turn out like this."

I don't think he'll play into that. You severely messed up, girl.
She wasn't going to give up without a fight. If she couldn't be direct, she could tug at her father's emotions. She could play the perfect role of the victim that she was.

You kind of went about it in the wrong way.
There was no one on her side. She was alone in her defiance, and by the looks of things, only straws were left of it.

"No, not until you get the guards off me."

Right, don't be too selfish that those who care for you are the ones taking the brunt of your actions.
Hazel looked torn for a few seconds. "I am worried about you, okay? I don't want you to anger Father. I want you to have as much choice in this matter as possible. That's why I am hoping that in time you'll see how much this benefits not just you."

Oh, he won't. I'm sure he intends to make her fall in love with him.
"However, we would probably still be able to keep the alliance if he is the one who ends things."

Of course, Hazel feels like she's a selfless person.
"Yeah," Bel said, absentmindedly. "I suppose I do."
~Bleeding Hearts~
Fantasy · GinaStanley
Ummm.... well, at least she has some idea of why she's needed.
"You are too trusting Hazel. He doesn't even know me, he has absolutely no reason to want to marry me. They probably just want my magic," Bel replied.

"What if he is a terrible husband? I will be stuck in a marriage that I hate. Why do I have to do this? Surely, we can have some alliance with them without me marrying him?"
