~ 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
Stranger To King 3
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
