Ruthy’s
The past week had been a blast. I’ve never felt so happy in my life. The Wilhems already left last week, but they promised to return in three months for the wedding. Yes, I’m getting married. I know, it may seem fast, but we have a lot to do before even getting married and after. My parents said they were ready to pass the throne and they even became emotional, but they were proud to crown me as Queen of Rinovea. I am getting a little over the future there, but it will come.
“Ready when you are, love,” Noah says. We are now heading to the Throne Room to have a discussion with my parents. Noah seems calm and confident, but I know he’s feeling nervous beyond the soul. This is the first time we’ll be having a serious talk in front of the King and Queen with regards our plans for the future. We’ll also talk about what will happen to our family.
“I can feel your hands shaking,” I teased him as we walked hand in hand.
“No, yo

After 3 months The Royal Wedding I woke up feeling nauseous and light-headed. Last night, I couldn’t bring myself to sleep because of excitement and nervousness. I couldn’t decide if I was feeling cold or warm when I was laying down in bed. Althea, who arrived in our palace yesterday, strictly ordered me to have at least 8 hours of sleep. I ended up having 5 hours of sleep. The men stayed at the other side of the palace, while we will be preparing at the Women’s Room. As soon as I woke up, Althea came knocking down my door. “Princess! Hello? Bride to be! Wake up! It’s way past your breakfast!” she said outside the door. It’s currently 6 in the morning, the wedding will be at 11. I stood and went to the bathroom to wash my face. My maids were already arranging the make up and other accessories at the Women’s Room together with the other maids. The Women’s R

"Princess Ruthy, it's time to have breakfast," said Genesis, one of my maids. I rose from my reading table and straightened my gown. I glanced at Genesis and showed her a bright smile, where she giggled and returned a smile as well. As I was straightening my gown, Danielle, my other maid, rushed to my said, "Let me do it for you, princess." "Oh no, it's okay. I can handle it," I said and winked at her. Danielle and Genesis bowed. My maids are used to my attitude- the winks, gestures, and speech, but I don’t act like this in front of my Father. He’s the King, of course I won’t get away with it. I may be his daughter, but I am also a princess. A princess who should act with decency and pride- which I sometimes lack. I’m still growing, okay? "Now, let's go." I positioned my tiara while walking down the hall and came down the stairs. The guards opened the double-doors which led to the Dining Hall. "Good morning, Father," I

I cat-walked my way to the throne room where my Dad is supposed to be waiting. The throne room is one of the biggest rooms in the palace where we sometimes hold meetings with the whole royal family. "Yes Dad?" I asked as I stood in front of his throne. "Have you signed the papers?" He asked and I nodded. "Very good. I hope nothing absurd will happen during the parade," Dad added. There was a brief silence before Dad spoke up. I made my way to my seat to join him. "Have you ever thought of getting married?" Dad suddenly asked and I almost choked my own saliva. "What?" I exclaimed and cleared my throat. What’s with the sudden topic? Well, Dad usually speaks to us about sensitive and confidential topics to ask for our opinions, but this is the first time he mentioned marriage. "I'm just a little worried, dear. You'll be turning eighteen in a few months. The court will bring up the rule again- about you needing to be married to be

My maids are currently putting me in my peach lace tube gown that has pointed tips on the breasts. "Isn't this too revealing?" I complained as I looked at myself in the tall mirror. Is this even appropriate? "It looks perfect on you, Your Highness. You look absolutely stunning," Genesis said. I heaved a sigh. I feel like this is so inappropriate. It's a parade for the orphans- for children! "Please let me change," I pleaded and they sighed. At last, they let me change into a dark blue lace gown with thin off-shoulder sleeves. At least it's not a tube. "We're running 5 minutes late, Your Highness," Danielle said as she pins my hair into an elegant bun. "A princess is never late," I said and wore my transparent heels. I walked to the back of the palace where our float is parked. Sir Angelo and Sir Saint were waiting at the bottom of the stairs. "Ruthy, you're late," Dad said as I climbed the stairs. "Sorry. I had

"Are you sure you're okay Keith?" I asked while my maids tighten my gown. I held a breath while they tie my back. I can't believe I'm going to live my life with gowns this tight. "Of course, I am. Today is the grand celebration for the orphanage. I heard Mom set the desserts for tonight." He excitedly said and I hummed. I was wearing a rose gold fitted gown with a lace top that has long sleeves. My maids put on light make up as I requested and attached daisies around my hair. "You look gorgeous, Ruthy. I hope there ain't no suitors around?" Keith teased and we both laughed. "If there will be, he better be royal or it's his end," I said and chuckled. Keith immediately went to the Ball Room while I haste. He looks really excited for the desserts. The guards opened both the doors and I heard instruments play. "Your Highness, Princess Ruthyelia Nobingale of Rinovea," Sir Saint announced and the visitors bowed. The music played and the room

Sir Angelo was called to accompany some of the guests who were going to arrive soon so I was left alone. As I walk to the Ball Room, I saw some of the guards running toward the main entrance of the palace. Are the guests here already? I followed them and waited patiently in front of one of the fountains. A warm welcome wouldn't be so bad. "Your Highness! You have to get out of here!" shouted one of the guards who was now running towards me. My brain didn't immediately process the situation. The next thing I knew, I heard gun shots from outside. I dropped to my knees and had a shock. It suddenly hit me that there are so many people here right now. Then I heard commotion just outside the doors. "Your Highness!" I heard Sir Angelo. He came to me and pulled me back to my feet, taking me to the safe room. "But everyone else in the Ball Room..." I said with a shaky voice. I just can't imagine the people getting hurt because of me, es

"Ruthy? Are you feeling alright now?" Mom asked as she entered my room. I just finished washing and my maid was busy putting me on my dress. "Yes, Mom. The wound is healing very fast and I'm glad to get back to work now," I said. I wonder how this day is going to be. Although a lot of re-construction is happening, the palace is kinda noisy. "We actually offered Noah a place in the kitchen. He seems to have the skill in baking." She started as she sat on my bed. My eyes widened. "Oh. So he has the skill. And did he accept it?" I heard my Mom giggle. "He said only if you let him to." I found myself smiling with the thought. I just talked about giving him and his uncle a new bakery, that won't be postponed. "Thank you, Genesis," I said to my maid and then left my room with Mom. Outside my room, Sir Angelo was waiting. "Breakfast is ready, Your Majesty, Your Highness," He said with a bow. I saw the uncertainty and worry in
