England, 1850

The wind was ruffling the autumn leaves while the sky poured its tears on earth. I could feel the water slowly dripping from my hair to my neck refreshing me on the hot and humid day. I gently urged my horse to go faster and finally reached the stables. I quickly dismounted Juliet, my powerful black horse, to run to the back door of the mansion hoping to go by unnoticed by my father.

Unfortunately, this was not what fate had decided. The moment I entered the empty kitchen, I was told by Chi-Chi, my faithful maid, that my father was waiting for me in the study.

I resolvedly walked towards there, rearranging my appearance, trying to order my dishevelled hair and soaked dress. I entered the room to find my father quietly waiting for me beside the chimney. His lavender eyebrow twitched. Once. Twice.

"Bulma, what did you do this time. No, don't say a thing. I know your nature. You probably thought that it would be a shame to go by ignoring this wonderful storm."

I sighed. It was not a secret that my father never appreciated my little escapades, not to mention my tendency for the new sciences and martial arts.

"I'm sorry, father. I just could not resist to the urge…"

"I know. I thought a lot about your situation and the effect the absence of a mother had on your life this last two years. You forget your place more and more everyday. This is why I decided to marry you. This was planned a month ago and the marriage will take place in one week."

I silently fumed trough all of his little speech and finally exploded.

"I'm sorry father but this completely out of question. I won't marry someone I did not ever meet and it's final!"

The noble man, for the first time in his life stood up to his daughter and angrily said,

"You will accept this no matter what. It is essential to my, to our survey. You will have the right to bring Chi-Chi and that is all. You will depart in three days and when you will arrive at his castle in Scotland in one week. You WILL marry him."

I shuddered, the inevitability of my situation suddenly hitting me. I finally asked for one last request.

"Can Goku come with me please. He is the son of one of your farmers. He is really strong and could protect me from any danger until I reach Scotland. "

(and could continue teaching me martial arts…)

My father, very happy at my rapid submission and lack of breaking precious things, quickly accepted. I stomped out of the room to search refuge in our vast library finding comfort in the books. I had read each of them by my 18th birthday. I was now reading them for the second time finding new subtleties in every book.

I was now 21 years old, considered old marriage material by every man in the country. I had blue hair with light lavender streaks which attracted a lot of the opposite gender's attention. I knew I had a good body since I trained and mounted my horse everyday. Nevertheless, I never accepted any demand in marriage since my mother's death completely broke the heart of my father and I though he needed someone by his side. I guess I was wrong. I will go to Scotland and meet this Vegeta man. If I do not like him, I could always run away with Chi-Chi and Goku who would understand me I am sure.

The emotion of the day finally draining out all of my energy, I slowly drifted to sleep trying to forget what life had planned for me.

To be continued…
