Clary's POV

I walk down the cold halls of the castle. My long lacy cardigan brushing against the red carpets. I was dressed in a long black flowy deep V Neck with slits for the a leg. My black combat stilettos which clicked when reached the marble floors of the ballroom. The cold air blows past me. I walk outside. The burning white sun against my porcelain skin. I sit down on white chair hanging from the trees branches

. "Clary? Your father is upstairs with another man." Said Izzy.

"If it's for the arrangement tell him I'm busy." I repeat.

"Your father doesn't care."

"I guess we share that in common."

"Clary it's the best bet for the kingdom." She pleaded.

"I'm sorry Izzy I could care less about this cursed kingdom and love which must be faked. I didn't ask to be a royal child did I rather be with you walking around Idris as a normal!"

"Clary I would like that too okay let's make a promise you go to this meeting and we can go to downtown at midnight but please keep in mind your parents were arranged and they became happy not right away but they learned to love each other."

"Lead me to them." Clary held out her hand and Izzy took it they made their way to the office.

"Hello father." Clary rolled her eyes.

"Good day king." Izzy curtsied.

"Isabelle you are free to go." Izzy nodded and left.

"Now Clarissa show respect." Valentine warned before exiting. A golden man entered. He was about a entire foot taller. He was wearing a white button down with black jeans.

"So what's your name mines Jace." He extended his arm.

"I'm sorry but your mother or father and my father discussed for you to come here so that I would find my prince but please pay very close attention this isn't happening I am not getting married and if I do I am certainly not doing arranged so if you thought you had a chance you can leave."

"Um Clary? I am your fiancé."

"No your not." I started panicking.

"Your father told me to hold the news till the end but he was getti-" with that I walk out of the room and head to My fathers office.

"What the hell does he mean by fiancé."

"Your plan was to hate everyone till I gave up and you know darn well that will make me do something now I chose for you."

"But I'm only 22!"

"Good bye clary your dress fitting is in 4 weeks."

"I hate you Valentine if mom didn't die she would never have agreed to this! It's all your fault." I storm out back into the garden.

"I'm sorry about your Wife to be." Valentine sighs like it's nothing. Jace nodded.

I was sitting in the garden crying for about 2 hours. The Sun had set. My life and freedom was being taken away. I had to love someone I didn't. I wanted to disappear. "Aww clary what happened?" Izzy ran up to me.

"My father chose someone for me and I'm being fitted in 4 weeks that means I have no more freedom and I have to listen to some stupid man who tells me how to dress what to do or what to love. I run alone with my longass black lacy dresses because I want to. I'm not wearing some cute pink shortass dress just so he can show me off or use me. Izzy you don't know what I grew up with my mother always fucking fighting pretending they were happy I'm not getting married!" I was sobbing. Izzy pulled me in a tight hug.

"I promised a night out did I not. Wear your dresses for one more night." I nodded walked to the castle and walked into my room. There stood Jace waiting on the bed. Izzy stopped dead in her tracks she looked at me with 'is he the guy?' I nodded.

"Out." I growled.

"Clary I'm your fiancé now-"

"Shut the fuck up and leave don't make me repeat myself." I raise my voice a little to make all the venom in my voice noticeable.

"No, Isabelle leave I am your soon to be prince."

"Excuse you! Izzy stay put or swear to god!"

"I'm not going anywhere!" Izzy stepped in.

"Isabelle I will not hesitate to call your king he will not have any problem with me and clary talking." Jace said.

"I'm sorry the guy wins again sorry." Izzy walks out.

"What the hell you have no right to go and talk to my friends with no respect if that happens I swear to god I will whip your ass almost immediately!" I part yell.

"For your information I do have the right! You are my fiancée whether you like it or not I'm sorry but I don't care your father chose me and that means I'm staying!" Jace yells back.

"By all means stay in one of our many guest bedrooms! Not my bedroom!" I yell back.

"I am not moving!" He made his way to the bed and sat down still facing me.

"Have fun!" I yelled and walked over to my closet grab a pajama. I walk out of the room and made my way down the stairs. Then midway I was back to crying. I heard footsteps behind me I continued my way downstairs. I ran to the nearest bathroom on a random floor and locked myself in it. On every floor in one room I hid a getaway from my parents now my fiancé. I went to the room on this floor entered the room and went through the secret passage. I was out of the castle. I was now walking around in the streets of Idris. I went to my favorite cafe. Inside was Magnus Bane just the man I needed.

"Hey Magnus can I have your panda latte."

"Hey biscuit what happened of course."

"Can you take a break?"

"Of course." With that we moved to a table. I explained everything to him he promised to keep it a secret.

"So you are getting married to a guy named Jace. Does he know where you are?"

"No 20% looking for me 70% talking to my father and 10% sleeping. So no." I sip my latte.

"He does how golden hair and eyes also wearing a white button down and black jeans."

"Yup why."

"He's about to walk in." I look he is entering the shop. I can't run to the bathroom it's right in front of Jace I ran behind the counter Magnus followed behind closing the door.

"Have you seen a small woman wearing a long black dress fiery red hair and pale skin?"

"Yeah she was just talking to Magnus." Said the man. Then Magnus walked up.

"I can assure you we were talking but she left when she saw you so sorry." Jace opened his mouth then closed it and walked out.

I was going to be in so much trouble when I come back.
