My Lady it's time to wake up.
No response.
My lady-?
No response still.
Mrs Thessia's it's time to get up and get ready, you're gonna be late.
I look at her in bed worried, with her body sprawled out, completely unbothered.
I then stepped closer.
The large book I've been holding in my hand.
I lightly placed it next to her bedside table.
The book was given to me by Thessia's father.
The King of this Kingdom.
I stepped even closer and looked at closer with interested.
I then leaned away from it and looked at
Thessia.
I got closer and leaned it towards Thessia.
I then flicked her gently on her forehead.
Come on, can you please get up.
You'll be late, I sighed and stepped back away from the bed.
I then finally got a response.
Wha- five more minutes... please? she mumbled while half asleep.
That's all you said! I said out loud with frustration, I give as I sighed.
As I was about to speak to her again.
A knock came from the door.
I turned around and walked over towards the door and opened it.
To my surprised I looked down to find her sister Nyra.
She then asked me politely.
"Is Thessia ready, ma'am?"
I opened the door wider and shrugged.
Not quite I said, I'm having a hard time getting her up.
Nyra then smiled deviously
.
Before I could respond to Mrs Nyra, she dashed past me into the bedroom and leaped onto the bed.
Landing right onto Thessia's with a big smile and laugh.
She then screams out loud.
Thessia's lets out a big groan and immediately gets up from bed.
Thessia's surprised and stunned from the surprise attack
.
She struggled to push her sister off of her, and rolled out of bed as you hear their bodies hit the hard wood floor.
Nyra then said.
"Wake up sister, you have training remember?"
Thessia's then escapes Nyra, she then
dashed towards the door were the maid was.
She then hid behind the maid for protection.
You know you shouldn't do that? said the maid with a mature attitude.
Nyra then gets on her knee's and says "I'm sorry"
No need to get on ur knee's said the maid, as she starts sweating nervously.
You won't be in trouble this time.
Since you were able to wake up your sister.
Just promise me, don't ever do something like that again at least, I said with a sigh of relief.
Nyra gets off her knee's and says "I promise" with a cheerful expression.
Nyra then dashed to door before she closed it, she smiles and waves goodbye to her older sister Thessia.
Now then, since Nyra is gone.
Let me pick your outfit my lady the maid said in exciting tone, as she moved towards the wardrobe to prepare Thessia today.
Why am I even waking up early?
Thessia groaned getting herself off the cold floor rubbing her eyes.
She then drags her feet along the floor slowly making her away towards the maid.
The maid in excitement opens the big
wardrobe.
Mrs Fioren why am I getting up early?
Today is my day off said Thessia muttered, still mostly asleep.
Have you not been told, Mrs..?
Been told what, Mrs Fioren?
You're getting engaged today.
What!? Thessia shouted, fully awake
.
Who authorized this!?
Mrs Fioren confused and shocked by the sudden out burst.
I then looked at Thessia.
Well that be your father mam with a serious expression on my face.
I'm going to see my father right now she said in an instant with an angry expression.
Mam before you go please bring that book with you I said nervously.
Thessia mid walk stopped, as she was about to reached for the door.
Why should I!? She snapped.
What's so damn important about it!?
Mrs... Mrs Fioren hesitated, nervous to speak the truth.
I clenched my outfit tightly.
Mrs Thessia she said shorty after...
She said softy, that book was written by your mother.
I pointed at the table...
you should take it with you, your going to need it I said.
But... how? Thessia eyes widened.
I thought mother was dead....
Just right after I was born? Thessia said in shocked and disbelief.
Thessia in distress her anger went from sadness to confusion, not knowing what emotion to feel.
I think it's important to go talk to your father immediately.
Then come back to your bedroom immediately said Fioren in a serious dark tone.
Thessia with a deep breath.
She walks towards the table next to her bedside.
Thessia then leaned forward and grab it off the table.
I began to brush the dust off and clutched it tightly to my chest.
Without another thought.
I dashed towards the door and flung it open.
Spirting down the castle hallway. My heart pounding like a drumbeat.
I ignored everything and everyone in my path.
A tightness gripping in my chest like fear, confused and anger all swirling inside of me.
I threw my body against the towering doors.
Using every ounce and strength in my body and soul to push them open.
Inside stood my father and next to him, my step mother both dressed in black and a stranger stood beside them as well.
Someone I've never met before.
My father began to stand up.
His expression has angered written all over it.
Why are you not dressed!? He screamed violently.
I began to clinched my fist.
Trembling but finding the strength to say what I need to say.
I then spoke.
Why the hell didn't you tell me I was getting engaged!?...
My step mother in all black leans her head away from me out of disappointment.
I'm only 17 I screamed out loud to my parents.
The whole room echoed.
There was moment of awkward silence.
My step mother leaned over towards my father.
She started whispering in my father ear.
She then leaned away from him.
My father still standing by he's Throne.
He spoke again.
Don't be a disappointment to our family he shouted.
Do you wanna be like your mother!? he shouted out loud, hearing he's voice throughout the room and hallway.
I then started crying, trying to say a word.
I then spoke while crying, trying to understand this.
What do you mean I end up like mother I mumble…?
My step mother Interjected.
Don't worry about what you're father said you brat, you do what you're told! She said in a aggressive manner with deep hatred in her tone of voice.
There was awkward silence.
As I look at my step mother and father in disbelief and disappointment.
My step mother spoke again.
Now do good for the family and The Kingdom.
Marry our guest he came a far away just to see you.
You could at least show some respect....
What a disappointment of a daughter.
There was awkward silence, as the rain starts to pour outside.
My mouth moved on it's own it felt.
I said something I would regret but it needed to be said.
I then shouted so loud the whole castle could hear me.
I'm not fucking marrying him!!
You're not my real damn mother and I'm tired of all the toxic bullshit I had to tell with for the past 10 of years of my life because of you.
I broke down in tears, my chest tighting until it felt like I couldn't breathe.
But I kept on speaking.
My head wasn't thinking clearly….
Only my soul and heart.
My voice trembled, louder with every word, until I shouted so hard it hurt to speak.
Father…
For you to marry another women so soon after Mother died, it's a disgrace to her memory and legacy on this Kingdom.
To our Family name. To everything we were supposed to stand for!
My words echoed throughout the Castle hallways.
Then died silence followed after, no one stopped me…
I then turned and ran, tears running all down my face, as I stormed out of Throne Room.
Just before I crossed the threshold.
I heard movement…
My father stepped forward, as if trying to speak to me.
I glance back once.
His eye wided.
He looked shocked, even regretful as one hand slowly reached out towards me.
I looked at him…
I wondered to myself.
If this would be my last time I'd ever see him again.
Then I turned and kept on running.
