The Arranged [Open/M]

There once was a King who ruled over the land of Stormwind. His name was Anduin Wrynn. He was a just and fair ruler over the land. The peasants loved him along with everyone else. He would do anything he could to help those in need. He was also the king to form an alliance with Ironforge, which was ran by Magni Bronzebeard. Now having this alliance, the King made one promise to Magni. which was their children would marry. Ten years later, Anduin and his wife Calia, gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Claire. She was a beautiful baby and as Anduin stared down at his bundle of joy, he could only smile and think of what a great ruler she would become herself.

Claire grew through her toddler years very quickly. She learned to walk, run, read, speak, and many other things. She made friends every day. She loved meeting new people and helping them the best she could, as her father had taught her. She had one friend that was the best above them all. He was her rock and was always there for her. They played, fought, made trouble together, and a bunch of other stuff together. But as much as she liked him, he was from the city of Stormwind. She knew of the arranged marriage, but at her young age, she didn't pay much attention to it. Mean while, her best friend and her grew closer and closer until one night he was forced to leave Stormwind by his own father. Claire cried and cried until the tears stopped flowing. She thought of everything they had done and seen together and felt nobody would be able to replace him.

On Claire's sixteenth birthday, she was awoken by her father. His dashing smile made her smile as well. "Good morning father." He continued his smile as he grabbed her hands. "Tonight is the ball and the night you will take the hand of King Magni's son to be your husband. And in a short few months time, you will be married." Claire pulled her hands away from her father's and looked into his eyes with a disgusted look upon her face. "What about love, father?" Anduin smiled once again and then chuckled as well. He shook his head as he spoke, "my darling child, you are sixteen. What do you know of love? You will marry Magni's son as has been planned since you have been born." With that being said, he stood up and walked out of her room, closing the door behind him.

Claire grabbed a pillow and held it close to her face as she cried her heart and soul out into the pillow. She finally stood up from her bed and walked over to the balcony of room. She peered down at her father's garden and watched the workers buzzing around like a bunch of bees, trying to make ready for the ball. She took a deep sigh and then walked back into her room and laid on her bed.

Hours past and Claire decided it was time to get ready. She changed into her ball gown with the help of her attendees and then gracefully she walked down the stairs to the ball. The guests all stopped talking as she walked gracefully down them. Claire took slow breaths since the corset was squeezing her so tightly. She approached her father, who was accompanied by Magni. She smiled and bowed to the both of them. "He is near the refreshments, my darling daughter," Anduin said as he pointed to the young gentleman. Claire bowed once again and nodded her head, "yes father." She closed her eyes and then started for the refreshments.

[[OOC: So your character must be a male... BUT you get to choose if you want to be the best friend, who has returned to marry Claire or you can be the son of Magni, who must earn the love of Claire... Totally up to you and either way I can make it work!]]
