~ 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

“This is utterly ridiculous!!! If Jabrel were first in line, then you would have handed him the crown without ease. But with me, I have to follow these transitional rules. Why do I have to suffer while he lives the luxury.” I was sick of this law, and to know my brother could snatch the crown away just like that was heartbreaking.“It’s just how it is, sweetheart. The officials are just doing their jobs and telling you before your coronation. You can find someone easily.”“Ha! You are joking, right?? That won’t be enough time for me to fall in love. That takes time and effort, mother. It can not happen in a day.” I stated as the tension got thicker. You can cut it with a sword. Knowing my anger and frustration, Jabrel approached me and patted my shoulder.“You will find someone, Mia, and when you accomplish it– void this law.” He smiled.The room somehow turned brighter. My brother always knows how to light the mood and handle these situations. This is why I trust him more than anythi

A knock woke me from my slumber, so I turned over and placed the covers on my head. “Princess Mia! It is time to get up! You have a long day ahead of you, my lady.” Hamon’s voice rang through the room. Ugh. Do I have to get up?? Do I have to walk around the town examining the nobles? Can someone else do it for me?? Some nobles are stuffy and snobby.I dragged myself out of bed to go and open the door for him. To my surprise, Jabrel was there as well. “Why are you my room, little brother?” I said, still half asleep.“I was going to ram the door in to wake you like the good old days, but you got lucky. Our lovely parents won’t join us for breakfast as they have work.” He said as he walked off with his servants right behind him.“I knew they weren’t going to join us. Now I have to go out and search for myself.”“Mikhal and I will accompany you, your highness. We will ensure nothing goes wrong for this,” Hamon said. He enters the room to pick out my clothes for today.“Where’s Mikhal? He

Hours passed; I met every noble around the kingdom area. It was a lot to handle because most needed to be qualified. My servants saw my tiredness and led me to a cafe to rest my legs. People immediately served me food. I wasn’t hungry for those types of meals. I wanted sweets. “Hamon, are there any more of those prissy people?” I asked as a joke.“No, my lady, that was the last of them. Is there anyone you will choose now?” He questioned me. No, it is too soon to pick. He began to write down some notes. Mikhal approached us with my order and their orders as well. It doesn’t bother me to give my servants what they want. They have taken care of me since I was born. It’s time to return the favor. Peace rang throughout the cafe until a bunch of people came in. In that bunch of people was Hazel. Sighing, I stared at them with so much hate.“Do you want to move somewhere else, your highness?” Mikhal said.“We shouldn’t have to move anywhere because people should keep their voices down!” I r

~ Flashback into the past ~“THE ROYAL DIAMOND IS MISSING!!!” A guard shouted from across the kingdom. Joshua and I were long gone before the bell rang but got spotted crossing a road. We ran for our lives, trying to find a hiding place. There were so many moldy rocks that it was perfect. As we bent down, my back bumped against someone. I glanced behind to see she wore a black coak.Footsteps approached, and the girl tapped my shoulder. She pointed in a different direction, away from the guards. I wasn’t sure, but I trusted her anyway. We ended up in this run-down, paint-peeling, bug-ridden, collapsed-looking building. Perfect! When the coast was cleared, she sat down and uncovered herself fully.Both my brother and I were stunned by her beauty. But confused as we never saw her before. She was a peasant, her brown hair was in a high ponytail, and her brown eyes were like honey. Her lips were pink and soft, her cheeks were rosy, and she was absolutely gorgeous. “Thank you very much...u

We talked for three more minutes, and the plan was set. My tailor guided me to the fitting room once I was done. The boys waited outside, and when I stepped out, they were shocked. “You look extraordinary, my lady.” My tailor said,“Thank you. Due to your skills, I always look great.” I said, looking into the mirror. “Beck, what are your thoughts about the announcement? I know my parents told you?”“Yes, they did. It’s a stupid law that needs to be void. I never liked it anyways. You are a great leader and can do it without someone.” He stated. Beck always voiced his opinions which I liked. I don’t want people sugarcoating things. I agree with him; the law is stupid and needs to be changed.But I won’t give up just because of this. Hours passed, and the dress was finished. I thanked Beck for his work. My servants and I headed back once everything was paid. Mikhal saw how unhappy I was. So, he stopped me. “My lady, would you like to get ice cream?” he asked. Drew was freaking out. He k

~ Anisel ~When I woke up, I found that Joshua was gone. He can't be leaving like this without me. Out of nowhere, there was laughter outside the trailer. “Good morning, big bro,” Joshua said as I stepped out. Something didn't sit right with me when I looked at Hazel.“What in the hell are you two planning?”“Sir Anisel Dean, congratulations!! You have been selected as Princess Mia’s betrothed. Now, you are free to be around her as much as you like.” Hazel smiled.Was that true?? They are not pulling my leg, are they?? Out of all those rich nobles, I got picked?? Am I one step closer to ruling this shithole?? Joshua hugged his girlfriend from behind and then jumped on me. We fell to the ground as Hazel told me about how she convinced her parents to let us stay over. Since we live “so far” her parents felt bad and invited us. Good because we may get caught one day.If we are at her house and they are best friends— that means I will get to see Mia more often. Who would have thought the

I laughed as I stretched my sore back. We talked for an hour or so. All we did was talk about ourselves the whole time. During the conversation, my brother’s voice popped up from nowhere. “MIA!! Where are you!!! Lord Matthew is here to see you!!” his voice rang out.Anisel hurried back to the other side. He waved goodbye as he disappeared into the brushes. “There you are, Mia. Matthew is here. Hurry, don’t keep your future king waiting.” Jabrel nudged playfully. I hit him in the arm as he didn’t have to say it like that. I fixed myself before greeting my old friend.When walking into the parlor, Matthew stood up and bowed. “My dear lady, I was worried sick about you.”“Sorry for any inconvenience, my lord. I forget about the time.” I said with a gentle smile. With no worries, he took my hand and kissed it. What a true gentleman. We took a walk around the lake, where there was complete privacy. It was good to see Matthew; we hadn’t seen each other since the last grand ball. That was ye

"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

“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

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
