ITALIAN PRINCESS
Ellizabeth-
I'm currently sitting in front of my window, looking out at our royal garden, and reading an old romance novel.
I'm waiting for my butler, Charles, to call and tell me that 'princess dinner is ready.'
Charles is the only teacher who has stayed with me for a long time, unlike the others who came to seduce my father, who is entitled to be the 'King without a Queen,' and yes, my previous teachers were women. After that, my father stopped hiring such women and decided that Charles, my grandfather's former butler, would pass down to me and continue to teach me.
My grandfather came up with the idea of teaching us about the real world we live in today. Teach his future ruler some man's work. To defend a woman's right. To demonstrate equality between men and women, yes, my father believes in those things, thanks to my grandmother, who is my nonno's muse.
After that, my grandparents were ambushed, and only Charles survived. He still remembers the message my nonno tells him, which is to protect and continue to teach me on what they've started. He's like my second in command; he gives me information with a single wave or gesture of my hand.
KNOCK, KNOCK......
"Come in," I said softly, still facing my large window and not reading my book.
"Princess dinner is ready," and speaking of my personal butler, he came to inform me. "And king Radusé have some things to discuss with you," he added.
I take a step forward and approach him. He leads me to our colossal feast.
"Do you know who my father wants to talk to?" I ask as I walk with my head held high.
"I believe it's about marriage," I say as I come to a halt, looking back to see Charles following me from behind.
"My?" I ask, perplexed.
"Yes," he said, nodding.
"And by whom?"
"Velkov's"
I turn around and continue on my way to the dining area. I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now; I needed to hear from my father first before jumping to any conclusions.
