~ Jabrel ~~ A couple of days ago ~I woke up this morning around seven o’clock; I needed to know more about my sister’s future kings. So, I cleared my schedule and gave Mia my work for today. Good, she knows how to handle these meetings better than I do. “Are you sure you want to clear your schedule?? You have a busy day, and Mia will have extra work on her hands?” Lily asked out of concern.“Mia and I do this all the time. She made me take her schedule like last month because of the boys. She won’t mind doing this for me. Besides, I want to talk with them. Don’t worry; things will be okay.” As we were walking, I bumped into Hamon by accident. “Oof— sorry about that,” I said. Hamon turned around and immediately bowed. I shook my head and told him it was alright. He smiled as we walked away. Being the noisy person I am, I hid behind a pillar to see what he was doing. Mikhal entered the picture as soon as Hamon walked past a room.“What is on the agenda today, Hamon? Will the princess

I was thrilled when Jabrel told me he was going to save them. My mother has no right to go behind my back to do something so devilish. Now I know this isn’t for me; it’s for my mom and what she wanted. One day out of the week, my brother and I met at the throne room alone. Our parents were out on a business trip.“The two haven’t been executed yet, which is good. However, she wants the whole kingdom to see their deaths. So, she planned it for the day after your wedding. Who knew they were this cruel??” Jabrel said.“Only our mother as father goes along with what she says. We need to put a stop to this. They don't deserve this punishment.” Tears flowed down my eyes. Jabrel patted me on the back for comfort. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t love anymore. If I marry him, it would be like a prison I can never escape.Someone came through the doors as we talked– it was Matthew, of course. What is the problem?? I ordered him to leave as he cannot enter the room. However, he stated that

~ Anisel ~~ A few days later ~Jail cells are my worst enemy, especially this one, due to the harsh security. The Queen has some fucking nerves to drag us here while we sleep. I'm surprised she didn't kill us. As I was lying in this uncomfortable metal bed, I stared at the ceiling. I pictured my life if we took a different path. Would we still be here? Would we be dead? Would we be ordinary citizens living our daily lives? If things were different— would I have met Mia??Fuck. All we can do is just sit and wait. When I got up from the floor, I went to my cell door to peek out. Joshua was right across from me. “Josh, you here?” I said."Yeah— unfortunately."You can tell he has broken down mentally. He has lost everything from his home to his girlfriend. Joshua doesn't deserve this, either do I. His voice faded as he told me sorry. It wasn't his fault or my– it was the queen’s fault. She made us like this. If she ran her kingdom better, then we wouldn't have done what we needed to.Jo

~ Anisel ~I was thrilled to see Lily standing in front of us. She made sure we knew the plan and if we were aboard. Shit!! Better than sitting in this cell to rot. I got to thank Mia after this because this was her doing. The princess got everyone acting like they did not see anything. The guards are working under our command, and everyone who the Queen worked for. If that’s not a leader, then I don’t know what is.During the night, Hazel snuck in to see her boyfriend. I never saw him so excited since we were thrown in here. She explained that this plan needs to be executed perfectly. Not everyone outside the kingdom is on our side; we can not fuck this up. Once this is set, it is up to me to stop the wedding in time. However, I do not know how to do that.We have two days to get shit done. “You have to intervene at the right time, or it will be over. Mia is doing everything she can to keep you alive. But she can't end this wedding by herself, take that power and expel it.” Lily said

I met with Jabrel and Yuli on the outside patio; they instantly knew something had happened. "Your highness! What happened to you?" Yuli said."I have to tell you later. I don't want to talk about it." I sat down and began to snack on the fruit. "You two will accompany me at the rehearsal today. I don't want to be alone with him.”Jabrel bowed and explained the details to me for tomorrow. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan. He must stop the wedding alone, or else everything will fail. We worked hard trying to do it, and for them to not take that chance will be a waste. I know Anisel; I know that he will do the right thing. We continue our conversation and enjoy each other's company until it is interrupted.Matthew returned from whatever he was doing and escorted me to the venue. I wish I had a say in what goes into the wedding-- but it's already been decorated for us. Which means I don't have to stress about something I don't want to have.I waited behind the door for my cue

Good, they leave with problems, and I hope they make it on time. It all comes down to rather we win the war or fucking it's up big time. I lay down in my bed and closed my eyes. The following day, Hamon tapped my shoulders. Ugh, today has finally come.I stretched my body and glanced at Matthew, who was still asleep. Good. I slowly got out of bed and started my day with politicians. The people who made the law– I hate them. I sat down at the head of the table and crossed my arms."My lords, what brings you to my palace?" I mocked."This is not your palace until you have gotten the crown. Until that, you just live here, your majesty. We wanted to congratulate you on your wedding day. As you impress us with how fast you found someone." The person smiled.I did find someone, but not the person they think. I gave them a little blank expression, then nodded. "Thank you, my lords. Now is sitting on that throne and getting the crown." I said, smiling.The politicians looked at each other, "W

As we approached the chapel, a stage was set up for people to watch the brothers' death. My stomach dropped to my legs. I couldn't believe my mother would do this. We got escorted inside and to our spots. What are we going to do!! My hands got sweaty as the clock ticked by. Mikhal takes out a napkin to wipe them off."My lady, your makeup is going to be ruined. All you have to do is wait. Everything will fall in line." He stated.I don't know if his words will comfort me this time. That's when Hamon gently took me by my shoulders and made me look up in shock. He moved up and then down to indicate breathing. I have been paranoid since my mother put them on death row."No matter what, your majesty, we, your servants, will always be by your side. Marriage or no marriage, queen or no queen. Mikhal and I will serve you until beyond the stars." Hamon told me.Now those are the words I wanted to hear. These two have been by my side since I was born. The old geezers raised me and taught me mo

“Anis–” I got interrupted by Matthew who took a hold of my arm. He yanked me towards him and everyone was on their feet in shock.“You are supposed to be in that cage along with your brother! Why are you in our presence at this moment?” he shouted.The steam from his ear began to form. Anisel had this smirk on his face like he won something. When he stepped forward, guards went to seize him. They burst through that door with all of their force. Joshua hid behind some people and Lily backed up. My family stood in front of me except for Jabrel.“YOU HAVE NO RIGHT BEING HERE AS YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO OUR KINGDOM! BE GONE! JUST DIE!” my mother shouted from the top of her lungs.I was held back by Matthew, who had the tightest grip on me. I said ouch but he ignored my pain. Anisel stood his ground as he fought back with my mother, father, and Matthew. I began to get loose from his grip to push through my family barricade. Their faces were priceless.My father held my wrist to stop me from ma

~ 4 years later ~I was sitting in my office doing paperwork when someone knocked on the door. "Your majesty, you have company," Hamon said as he let the person in. It was Joshua, who looked like he had seen a monster."You okay? You need to sit down?"He stood there depressed. When he opened his mouth, nothing came out when he saw his brother enter. "Umm, did I interrupt something?" he asked. I shook my head and told him to continue his work. Joshua made no eye contact whatsoever and then crossed his arms. Is this a joke? I didn't have time for this until I saw blood on his uniform. I got up so quickly to the point I hurt my hand."Joshua Dean, did anything happen today? Your uniform is stained— with blood. You must tell me the truth as you are under oath."Anisel lifted his eyebrow in curiosity. Why was he bleeding and not saying a word? There was a miscommunication near the front gate of the kingdom. That was all he told us, no further details of what happened. We all know multiple

"Your majesty, your majesty... it's time to get up." Mikhal said as he poked me. I toss and turn in the covers then bury my head into my husband's back. I shoo him away as I wanted to get more sleep. "My lady, you can't be sleeping in, you know. Guess what today is?""Leave me alone day?" I told him.There was a slight chuckle from him, then the word coronation came up— I jumped up. Anisel was woken by my sudden action. He asked what was going on as he looked at me with such confusion. When I told him that I was going tobe a queen today, he just smiled.I'm going to be queen. After the wedding, we took some weeks off for our honeymoon. We went to America and had an awesome time. Then a couple more months passed as we got situated. Planning a coronation takes time and effort as we wanted certain people to come. Then certain actions must be taken in order to continue on.It took about 10 months after the wedding to make this day happen. I got up and began to wash up a little. We had br

~ Wedding Day ~"Hurry up! Get her ready!" Mikhal shouted at the workers who were running around.“You are sweaty. Relax, my lady.” Hamon said as he handed me a napkin. I can’t relax as today is my wedding day!! It is finally here!!! And I am so excited!! After months of preparation and crying, we have made it through it all. I can't wait to be with him and rule this kingdom together. Hamon patted my forehead.Yuli helped me with the gown, and Mikhal kept yelling at people to look alive. This day better be perfect, or I will snap. Once everything was done, I started in the mirror. “When I leave this palace, I will no longer be single. I would be a married woman.” I smiled.Everyone gathered around me and prayed. This atmosphere was different and lighter than before. The smile never left my face as we headed out. I can’t wait to see Anisel at the chapel. I fan myself as I didn’t want to ruin anything. “Someone help. I can’t control my emotions.” I whined."Get a hold of yourself, Mia.

~ Mia ~The politicians debated, and cheers roared throughout the kingdom as they declared the dethronement of my parents. The light shines through the dark clouds as people toss their arms. My mother fell to her knees, distraught. We won!! WE WON!!Tears began to flow down her face, and being the caring person, I went to her side. I bend down, “did you think you would have taken over? What were you trying to accomplish??” I said.“You will never know the true pain of this kingdom. I kept the peace! I did what I had to do for it to fall in line. You marrying a peasant was out of the ordinary! I wouldn't give up my kingdom to someone who didn't understand!! I did what was best for my family!!”“You were blind by corruption, and you didn't see the people you hurt. You killed the innocent to bring balance to this broken place. You even tried to kill us, Mother. YOU weren't fit to be queen since the day you were born!! This wasn't home; this was prison!!” I shouted.Jabrel and Anisel stoo

~ Anisel ~We were in a stampede as we marched. Our speech had everyone as one and gave energy to those who needed it. The kingdom was in our sights; Mia and I paused our movements as we stared at the entrance. Guards were standing there with swords drawn.Jabrel and Mia walked forward. “Stand down; as your prince and princess, we order you to stand down!” Mia said in a threatening tone. The guards didn’t budge as they don’t take orders from them anymore. Mia and Jabrel were dethroned. The king ordered this action.THE KING?!?! I knew it. I knew he couldn’t be trusted. He was trying to get informa— “You heard them. Stand down.” Mia’s father said. Wait— wait— what the fuck?? If he didn’t order that, then who did?A voice came from above; it was Matthew. That son of a bitch is wearing the royal crown. "YOU SICK OF A BITCH!!" I shouted at him. The family turned to me in fear. I never raised my voice like that, but it was the reason."As the guards said, you don't bark orders anymore. I d

We annoyed the guards by repeatedly saying to let us go. I did promise them nothing is going to happen if we band together. My mother can't destroy us all. This time I will protect my citizens. The guards looked at me like I was insane for this plan, but they trusted me.They still couldn't let us go, and that is okay; because during transfer, we would riot. Everyone else agreed, and we discussed the plan. In the end, Anisel and I will be getting the throne back and defeating my mother. As the night rose on us, “You and this planning things come easy, huh?” Anisel said as he pulled me close.“Perks of being a student of a leader. I got it from my parents. But I use that power for good.”"I wish we could spread the message more than in this kingdom. We need to grow in size. Who knows what your mother can do." Anisel was right. We need more people than the kingdom's citizens. We need that one voice to carry the word around. I lay on my boyfriend’s lap to think more.My eyes glanced forw

She threw her kids in jail— HER KIDS!! What kind of parenting is that?? Just because she wants to marry someone right for her. Ugh! Whimpers and cries were heard throughout the large cell. They threw us back into Satia Prison.The queen knew about the escape plan because of that no-good piece of shit, Matthew. I peeked at Mia, who was clinging to me like a koala. Her head was down, staring at her legs. Jabrel stared at the window, and there was no sign of Joshua and Hazel. “Mia, are you okay?” I asked her. She looked up at me with puffy eyes.“Yeah, I’m fine as long as I’m with you.” She smiled. I missed that beautiful smile and that face of hers. I couldn’t believe she risked her status for me– for someone who did wrong in the past and tried to do wrong now. Once you are in love, then there’s no breaking that bond you built. I brought her closer, and I wrapped my arms around her. Jabrel came over to us, looking heartbroken. His eyes were puffy as well, and his face was red. I felt aw
