I was born in Slovenia in 1985. I started writing when I was about 15 years old, mostly short stories. As a child, during the holidays, I was always the one with a notebook and a pen. I never got the chance to publish my books. As e-books are very popuar now I'm posting some of my work on Smaswhwards.

SAD BRIDE

It was autumn already. Everyone in the castle was preparing for the war. Knights were training in castle’s woods while the king was making sure his queen and his daughters were having the best last day.

Are you sure this I for the best? Asked queen Dru.

Yes. Almost. We are not ready for their army. said king Ferdinand.

Yes, it is true. William’s army is quite strong. So send this letter already.

Yes dear, agreed the king.

He called his loyal servant who sometimes had to be the postman. The king put the letter to his arms and asked him to take it to William and he must give it to him personally. Jack did that. He took a horse and went on his way.

The king is giving you this letter. You have to write back in five days, said Jack.

OK. Thank you Jack. thanked William. Jack took his horse and went back t the caste.

William opened the letter. It did not contain more than 3 sentences.

I have a daughter Jane. You have a son, but I can’t remember his name. I want a wedding. Best regards, Ferdinand.

William thought for a while and then called his oldest son Rake.

Son. We found you a wife. said his father.

Already? But I am only 20 years old. Rake did not approve.

I know. But your wife, as far as I know, only has 18.

Why do we have to merry then? Who will I merry? asked Rake.

With my enemy.

You want me to merry with Ferdinand’s daughter? Why?

I want to rule his kingdom and he wants to rule mine, but his army is too week, so he decided we will join kingdom Butterfly and Ferlan.

Ok, so you will both expand. I still don’t understand why I have to merry. Aren’t there any other arrangements?

Oh, son. I told you so many things, but not all, I guess. Well, the only arrangement there is, is a marriage. You will have to get married sooner or later.

Yes I know. But you never told me you will force me into it.

You are right. Why would I force you, you have a 14 year old brother, so maybe he can get married in a week.
