Vaidehi may have learned to live the life in the palace as this was millions of ways better than the life she had in the brothel. Yet the queen did not like to see the happiness in the eyes of Vaidehi. So when no prince for other kingdoms agreed to get married to the princess who everyone in the country knew used to be a man and would never be able to give any kingdom a heir. She decided to get the princess married to her brother Param. He was known to be a philanderer and thus had been unable to get married himself.
Getting him married to Vaidehi would keep the crown in her family as her brother did everything she asked him to do. She knew if she told him he would not say no to marrying the princess even after knowing her past. Soon their engagement was publicly announced all over the kingdom. The public was happy that the princess was going to stay in the kingdom and that she was at least going to be able to marry.
The queen though making sure that things go her way, soon after the engagement she forced the princess to publicly announce that she would be giving up her position as the future queen and ruler to her husband to be. Param would take the position of prince and the future king and ruler. This would finally and publicly make it official that Vaidehi no longer had any claim to the kingdom. Vaidehi would still be a future queen but could never lay claim to it till either the queen or the new king were alive. The queen already planned to rule till she died and afterwards any child Param would have legitimate or illegitimate would get to be the ruler. He already had a few with some woman so the chances of Vaidehi ever becoming the queen and getting the power to rule was impossible.
Finally the planned wedding day came up. Vaidehi was actually dressed and made up to look like a royal princess. This was her brother's wedding so the queen allowed Vaidehi to be made to look beautiful for the public. Everyone in the kingdom was happy about the royal wedding. All the kingdom had began celebrating one way or another for a week before the actual day of the wedding. It had been quite a long time since anything could be celebrated so the people had lot of excitement.
Vaidehi was really happy seeing the joy among everyone even if it was for her forced marriage as she loved to see the people happy. She was happier knowing she was the reason for all this happiness. She thought about that instead of what the future held. Having suffered so much she had learned to find joy in simpler stuff.
She was still working up the courage to be someone's wife. She knew what it really meant. Especially as the reputation of the man preceded him. He was known not only for his sexual prowess in the palace but also his sadistic behavior. He loved humiliating people publicly and even hurting them till they could no longer scream from pain. She was still trying to find a way out but knowing there was not much she could do. The queen had really won and her remaining life was written to be the wife of type of man she really hated.
Vaidehi was finally married to Param and for the rest of her life she remained his play toy. He would come each night in her room finding new ways to destroy her body in bed. She felt her days in brothel were better than each night with him. She scream the first few nights from the pain but it only got him more excited so now she took everything silently. She was never allowed to leave the room but some servants came with food or to give her a bath everyday. She was no longer allowed to attend the court but only visited on special occasions and made to stand beside her husband just like other courtesans instead of sitting. She never recieved any justice in her life and spent majority of it as a girl, prostitute and a wife but she was remembered in the kingdom for a long time as she was the prince who lived as a princess.
