After a little drive, we soon arrive in a little town. As we make it past the sign, people just lined the streets, as we drove by they all cheered and waved. Did all these people really come here to see me? In no time we pull up at a building, outside stood a man in a smart looking suit, either side were railings where people with cameras stood. My guards stand either side of the railings as my door is opened, I put a smile on my face climbing out the car. Immediately, the cheering got louder as I take a look around, I send a few people little waves before walking over to the guy in a suit.
"Welcome your majesty" he smiles bowing his head, we shake hands where I say hello " I'm Mike Falcon, these two are Maria and Jackson" he smiles walking backwards a little where two children stood.
"These are for you" Maria smiles handing me a bunch of flower
This week has had to be the most hectic in my life, now I know I've said that a lot since I arrive her but this one, well it hit a peak. Mason has been sending me here, there and everywhere. He keeps telling me it's to get me out there and seen, the people need to know I'm the type of person who will go into the community. Thankfully, it was Sunday a day I can get off, in no way did that mean I was getting a lay in. Today Kyle and Emma were visiting, I haven't saw them in nearly three weeks. It feels like a lifetime since I got to give Kyle a hug, a hug I've definitely needed. I was fully ready and waiting outside the castle, I asked them to come early so we had more time to spend together, with my schedule you never know when my next day offs gonna be. A car pulling into the gates makes a huge smile fill my lips, I begin to slowly walk down
It was the start of my third week here, my second week of duties which I feel are getting easier. Well not really easier, I'm just getting used to the schedule I guess. At the start of each week I have a meeting with Mason, he gives me a rundown of the week so I'm somewhat prepared. I walk into the room shocked to see someone else sat there, a man in a blue suit that looked maybe my age stood there. "Good morning your majesty, I'm Erik your new royal advisor" he smiles holding his hand out, I smile shaking his hand but was utterly confused. "My new adviser, what happened to Mason?" I ask still confused, I saw him on Saturday and he seemed fine. "He has been relocated to fulfil a different job"he smiles pulling his folder out "and before you ask, no it had nothing to do w
The office was silent as I sat there staring at the letter, why would my parents choose now to reach out to me? My life was just starting to go in the right direction, now the road block that caused all this mess has turned up in the middle of the road again. Kyle has always told me that we don't have any parents anymore and I need to put the thoughts of them behind me, but obviously due to this letter that's something I can't do.I could just ignore the letter but than Erik said there has to be a reply to every letter, I wouldn't even know what to say if I decided to reply. They've been out my life for so long that I don't even know who they are, it would be like pouring my heart out to a stranger and I don't do well talking to strangers at the best of times. We could claim that the letter never arrived if they write another, but that would be lying and seeing that's it's only my first year doing this job, I don'
Kyle stood frozen in place, his face was blank as he stares at the letter in my hand. He seems to snap out of his trace where he proceeds to pace, I knew he was trying to collect all his thoughts."I knew this was gonna happen, I kept telling Emma sooner or later they were gonna reach out now you're queen" he says still pacing the room "you might be queen but I'm still your older brother, you just need to ignore it and throw that away" he continues, pointing down at the letter still in my hands."I can't, when someone writes a letter to a royal they have to get a reply" I tell him, it was a rule I didn't know existed until toady."Then say you never received a letter" he says but I shake my head him, he knows me better than that.
The next morning went by so quickly, I loved the way Erik was scheduling my work, it actually felt like I was doing something not just running around all over the shop. It was the first day I didn't need to cover my neck! If felt great not to always have a boiling hot neck from the scarf I needed to wear, also it meant I was getting closer to Gray too. It was the end of my duties for today but my day was far from over, my parents were due to arrive within the hour. I hadn't thought about the meeting until I saw the castle, I've been so wrapped up with my duties that they totally slipped my mind. It was probably for the better though, knowing me I'd be worrying about it all day and wouldn't have been able to focus.I begin to make my way into the castle, when I got halfway up the stairs I see Gray shouting at someone through the window. He looked rather angry, I've never actually saw him like this before. I look aw
"Kyle?" I ask unfolding my arms, he begins to make his way over to us giving our parents looks as he went."Like I expected, all you guys want is to worm your way back into Clara's life as she's queen" he says shaking his head "unfortunately, Clara is too nice of a person to see that, which is good that I'm here" he continues, he comes to a stop beside me staring down at our parents."But how did you know we were having this meeting?" I ask looking over at him, he smiles towards me with a shake of his head."I'm your older brother Clara, I know how your mind works even if you try to hide it" he smiles while I just roll my eyes, he was probably right "I knew it would eat away at you if you didn't respond, I checked with the people here if I could come visit you and they said su
The next week was actually okay, Erik was scheduling my work so I had time to come up with plans about my parents. They were actually due to arrive today, this was the day they were going to tell us what Cyrus gets up too. Once we get all the information he can be arrested which we'll be so fun to watch, wait is it bad I wanna watch someone get arrested?Grayson's been acting off for awhile, he's constantly working and when he does come back he stinks of cleaning stuff, it smells as though he's been cleaning bathrooms all day everyday. I think about asking him but I don't know if I'll like the response he'll give me, I just have a bad feeling he's doing some stuff I don't wanna hear about. We did do our first day of duties together the other day, it was actually really great and people loved it.I got a message that my parents and Kyle were here
The next day was a Sunday so luckily, I didn't have any duties today. Today myself and Erik were heading to my first pack, the one Cyrus got us kicked out of. Gray wanted to come along but I thought it would be best if I go alone, that way I can tell Gray after and stop him from going and attacking my father if what he told us was really a bunch of lies.Erik and I were walking side by side towards the doors of the castle, I feel like I spend more time with Erik than anyone else, even Gray. As we make it outside a bunch of cars were waiting, guards were also waiting outside who immediately, bow their heads in my direction. I send them all a quick smile before walking over to the car, as I climb in I clock Gray standing in one of the windows watching me. Someone I haven't saw much of recently, I sigh beginning to climb in where shouting erupts from the other side of the car.
