Princess Karina
After an hour of preparation for her approaching birthday, Alice chose to go on the underground battleground. She desired to vent her stress via practice in order to let go of all her anxieties and disappointments. Her father now appears unconcerned about the stolen jewel, which perplexes her.
Previously, the King was the one who was most concerned about the lost diamond. He's not doing anything now that they've figured out where the jewel is."Argh!"With each stroke of the blade, Alice yelled. Due to Alice's sword forces, the metal figure swings back and forth, north to south. The piercing sound of grinding metal reverberates throughout the immense expanse.She comes to a halt as she takes a deep breath. After an hour of practice, she can feel the weariness in her knees as they wobble. She decided to sit on the ground. Her sword acts as a rod. Alice's face is drenched with sweat, and her tiredness is visible."Alice!"Related chapters
Fated to Rule (The Royalty Series #1) Prologue
There's an adage that goes, 'it's a bit easier to run a private family than a huge country,' and I agree. My name is Alice Windsor, and I am the future ruler of Bridgeton. My life revolves around the palace, following a set of rules and training. I had actually never been free. My father often reminds me that a queen has to embody twice the qualities an ordinary person has. Instead of going out, I spend my leisure time reading and practicing. "Are you excited for tomorrow?" my cousin, Harriet, inquired. She's referring to my father’s birthday. I sighed, then shook my head and stared at the target. I was not a big fan of parties, not to mention the fact that many royals would arrive to attend. The need to socialize is draining the energy out of me. It wasn't really ideal. "Don't you like it? Maybe you'll run across your future husband?" she teased. I drew the string, relaxed my muscles, and let go of the bow, striking the center. I glanced at Harriet for a moment as she sat on the

Alice It was already time for the firework display when I arrived at the orphanage. After meeting Rembrandt, my father didn't let go of me immediately and subtly pushed me to entertain the man. And by the look that he gave me earlier, I knew that man had already become his prospect. Rembrandt, without a doubt, is handsome but his cold manner does not help matters. “You’ve been spacing out since you came. Is there a problem?” Harriet tapped my shoulder. I forced a smile and shook my head. “There’s nothing.” The future remains hazy, and whoever my father wants me to marry, I have no option but to acquiesce. It has long been a family practice to arrange marriages among families of similar stature in order to maintain our title and position. Unless I wish to give up my rank and become a commoner, I don't have any independence. I heaved a sigh. It is still too early to worry about that. "You're like a dark cloud bringing thunder but no rain," Harriet added. “So gloomy.” I ignore Ha

Alice It was almost midnight when we reached home last night. A couple of realizations hit me, and somehow, those realizations made me want to become a more humble ruler in the future. Ianie, the kid, slept in my arms last night as I tried to give her comfort before my cousin and I went home. It was such an experience that I've treasured. This morning, I woke up early, just as I do every day, for my daily training. Contrary to the common belief that a princess's life is easy, it's far from the truth. I dressed in a pair of well-fitting black shorts, matched with a snug, buttonless long-sleeved top. My hair was neatly tied up in a bun, and I wore comfortable combat boots. Today's training focused on archery, though I wasn't sure if my cousins, Harriet and Karina, would join me. We had different trainers. After getting ready, I headed to the underground training area. "Good morning, Princess," Niccolò, the head of the castle's weaponry, greeted me. "Are you ready?" he asked. I nodde

Alice As my cousins and I made our way to the royal kitchen, something strange caught our attention within the palace. It was impossible to ignore – every royal guard and even the palace knights had paraded into the royal hall. The same hall that was reserved for important meetings and deliberations, especially during times of war. We exchanged puzzled glances, our curiosity piqued and decided to follow the crowd into the hall. Upon entering the venue, I was taken aback by what I saw. A long table dominated the center of the room, already nearly complete with attendees. Even the entire royal family was present, which was unusual for an unscheduled conference. I took my seat, choosing one close to my mother, the reigning Queen. My confusion was evident in my expression, and I couldn't help but convey it to her with a questioning look. She, in turn, simply urged me to be patient and wait for the meetings to proceed in their proper order. Restlessly, I scanned the room, my eyes comin

Alice As my cousins and I ventured deeper into the Enchanted Forest of Doria, the conversation from the day before still lingered in my mind. Karina's desperate plea weighed on me, and I wished I could have helped her more. But the truth was, I couldn't. The wand, Elizabeth's wand, could only be used by her descendants, and I wasn't one of them. "Alice, as much as I may appear thick-faced... can you assist me in detecting who the culprit is? You have the greatest authority among the three of us. Can't you use Elizabeth's wand?" Karina's anguished plea had tugged at my heartstrings. "Of course, I'll help, Karina, but as you know, I'm not a sorcerer. I'm unable to utilize the wand," I explained, the frustration evident in my voice. Elizabeth had been the kingdom's most powerful sorceress, and her wand was a symbol of her unmatched magic. Even though she had passed away many years ago, her descendants were yet to be found. "Wait! Do you remember the Mirror of Truth in the Longsati c

Alice I wore a princess-style gown as I attended Karina's father's trial, where we aimed to prove his innocence. Last night, we managed to find the Magical Bug, and fortunately, it recognized our presence, resulting in the blinding light we witnessed. Currently, the underground royal room was packed with people, and the living mirror was securely locked away. The Windston Royal family, along with the most trusted royal knights, gathered here. As the royalties engaged in casual conversation on the left side of the room, I couldn't help but notice Prince Casper's restlessness in the right corner. Karina was bombarding him with questions, and he appeared agitated. The Royal Knights began arranging the four mirrors to form intersections, one each for the south, north, east, and west. They placed a round table within the mirrors and set the magical bug on top. The room filled with a blinding light as the magical bug reflected in the mirrors. Prince Casper erupted in anger, spitting acc
Fated to Rule (The Royalty Series #1) The Preparation
Even though it was 9 a.m., the sun refused to shine. As thunder and lightning raged on the ground, the heavens were obscured by thick clouds. The rain fell in torrents, making a buzzing sound on the ground. The weather appears to be linked to the kingdom's misfortune or perhaps to how Alice is currently feeling. Her mind was confused with ideas as she paced back and forth in her room. The fire in her heart grew more and more by the minute, and she wanted to sneak out of the castle and go into the enemy's den to find the diamond. Her mind, however, is split in two as she mulls over the different outcomes along the road. If she goes, her father will surely be worried, and it might ignite a sudden war, which she doesn't want to happen. This is, so far, one of the most complex decisions that she had to deal with in her lifetime. She sat down and sc
