princess

You were the heir to the throne, but you were only 15. You were a teenager who wanted to be like everyone else, not a princess to be cherished. So you barely lived in the castle. You lived in the town nearby. You went to a regular school and led a normal life, until you received a letter inviting you to the castle for negotiations. Damn, the queen election, how untimely. You didn't really want to be one. Wearing dresses with corsets and heels wasn't your thing.
But you can't argue with your mother, so you trudged into the castle. It greeted you with a neat interior and huge ceilings adorned with chandeliers. Your mother and grandmother met you at the entrance, wearing dresses and carrying fans, while you, as always, were wearing modern jeans and a T-shirt. Other princesses, your old friends, were walking in the background, but now everything has changed. You barely talk to each other, but as children, you were best friends. This Leah and Vika, they were also princesses. They lived in your castle with their mothers.
There you are, standing in front of your mom and grandma. Surrounded by guards and security, and you're late as usual.
