Royal mornings

On that morning i knew my father was in the kitchen with my mother having breakfast i put on my purple dress that moved as i walked going over my legs i put on my white sparkly diamond taira gold line at the bottom and shiny at the top my maid tonia was sweeping the hallway i bow to her even though im a princess about to be queen in three years i have to respect others no matter how powerful i am “good morning tonia did you sleep well” i ask feeling empathy for her i knew that she lived in the palace ever since she was eighteen now twenty three she slept in the underground home with all the other maids in there bunk beds “i slept not well but i have to get my job done so i dont have to sleep there anymore not that its a bad thing its not comfortable” tonia said “no i do im sorry” i then whisper in her ear and my final sentence was “dont worry when im queen everything is going to be different” i say walking away tonia says “people like you luella gives me hope for the future” i thank her and head to the dining room i see my mother in a yellow dress long with her white sparkly queen crown with red diamonds in the center my father wearing his red striped white shirt and his dark mexican skin but my mom doesnt like mexicans, blacks, asians, lower classes, homosexuals, overweight people, and disabled people. My mom always said to me “the reason i married you father was because he was a prince” which to this day doesnt make sense to me i sit down “hello sweetheart we are having a party tonight at the palace” didnt surprise me when she said that we are always having some party or ball at the royal palace “also you are going to be queen in a year its time you learned how a well mannered queen behaves” my father said “but i already know how father ever since young youve always taught me how to-” my mom cuts me off saying “enough your training starts tomorrow being queen comes with rules as well as being a princess and one of the rules of being the princess is no talking back you will do what we say no matter what understood?” i nod oh how badly i wanted to be queen to change how my mother ruled our so called kingdom my dad claps his hands and one maid beth comes and bows my father says “dress my daughter for the party tonight and the theme is heavenly goddesses got it” she nods i get up from my chair and head to my room beth pulls a sparkly no strapped the dress going to the floor and going to be showing my breast when i was finished i thank beth my mother then passes by saying “what do you think your doing not wearing any makeup” my mom grabs my arm tight “you look discusting without it ugly and horried put makeup on now” my mom says making me feel ugly i sit in my chair almost at the verge of crying i put my conceler on slowly when im finished with my full face of makeup i head outside i go to the kitchen and see anne who was now washing the dishes “hello luella you looking beautiful as always aren't you” she says with a smile “come on hang out with me please” i ask begging her “fine , lora cover for me” lora a chef nods and we head out anne who was now 24 years old looked and acted about the same since she was 16 the only thing i know that has changed was her height and she is now married living with her husband and trying and planning on getting pregnet “have you found someone yet” she asks “no” i respond “luella im worried about you im not trying to rush or pressure you but i guaranteed your parents are you know you have to marry a prince by your 18th birthday in oder to become queen or your parents will choose i dont want that happening to you” i have always been furious with this law since my mother told me when i was only twelve years old “i know anne but most of the princes in this kingdom are selfish dont care about others feelings and some even hate women” i say it was true some of the other pinces have said how there own brothers treat others when the journalists arent around “luella looks like youre never going to change you still talk to these uneducated citizens” archie a self absorbed brat who own the north side of the kingdom we have known eachother since we were five and now he is the captain of the knights “archie why don't you go with the other knight and leave anne and i alone” i say as i get up to stand proudly he bows walks up to me and kisses my hand “as you wish princesses” i don't know what every girl in the kingdom sees in him girls throughout the town have been drawn to him because of his brown deep eyes brown hair that flows in the wind as im told by princesses he is gentle and friendly but to me its always been lies When i was thirteen around the time my mother told me about me becoming queen, Arichie came to my room as i was combining my hair. “hello princess” he said closing the door “Archie i told you you dont have to call me that call me Luella” i said softly “oh right Luella, i love you” he said i was shocked, i never felt that way about him i only saw him as someone i had to get along with according to my parents. Not wanting to hurt his feelings i said “im sorry Archie but i dont see you in that way. Your a good prince but i dont love you im sorry, you dont deserve me.”

he looked at me in anger and the next thing you know he punches me to the ground.

As i lay there, he comes to me pulls me by the hair “oww stop Archie stop” he then covers my mouth and says “you will love me no matter what Luella, someday im going to be your husband whether you like it right or not ill be yours.” he then kisses me on the forehead as i shed a tear he says “and dont think anyone will believe you. Everybody knows im a kind friendly prince and you your a women, who do you think will say ill make sure he stays away from you.

You are going to pretend this didnt happen alright” as he was still pulling my hair i managed to nod, he let go walking to the door and opening it “good talk Luella” he said after an hour talking with anne she leaves. As i walk back to the castle i heard yelling, running in my dress when getting to the area i saw a boy laying on the ground. “faggot” “get out of here” the knights yelled “whats going on” i say everyone goes silent until one knight says “princess were sorry we didnt mean disturb you, this women wanted to be a knight.” i look down i could tell she was a women, seeing by her bra strap a little to the side of her shoulder. It didnt matter its not that i wanna be a knight, i just wanna learn how to fight so wont need the guards when heading to the village.

Girls in my opinion should be allowed to fight no matter what.

The knight continued to say offensive words to her so i said “enough” everyone got silent again “why would a women of all people wanna be a knight, what your talking about its a fantasy a women wanting to fight ive never heard that.” i say knowing im lying right threw my teeth “but-” i cut off the knight and said “enough no women has short hair unless there infants, shame on all of you for thinking that way this is clearly a man and if i see you calling him any horrific words i will speak with my mother understood boys.” everyone was silent until all the knight said

“yes princess” and bowed to me “Now leave, i have to fix your mistake” They left I then help her up, as i do i say “hi im luella im sorry about them they are just awful, dont worry your secret stays with me whats your name anyway.” she then gets on her knees and pledes “ill do anything just please dont tell anyone.”

i hate when people assume at least people in the villige that princesses are only obsessed with makeup, looking pretty, money, and drama. “im not like that i promise, i wont tell whats your name.” i ask “camron” he said “oh im sorry i thought you were a girl.”

“oh i used to be but, no im now a boy now and thank you again princesses” he bowed to me i bowed to him “you dont have to bow to me, if anything i should be bowing to you and please call me luella.” he smiles and walks away before he leaves i tell him “if they say anything to you report it to me” he nods and keeps walking as i head back to the castle i hear someone in the dinning walking in their i hear my mother running towards the kitchen closing the door i head over trying to open the door it wasnt open i knock “mom are you ok” i say my throat feeling dry and my stomach was feeling twisted “yes dear i just got a little dirty is all go get ready for the party tell the peasants they clean the ball room quickly before people arrive” “yes mom” i say and head back out still having a pit in my

stomach.
