A Different Beginning // WMMAP

CH. 13 - Unfair

Unfair

"Your Majesty, this is absurd!"

My eyes bore into this dog. "Are you challenging my authority, Alpheus?"

Everyone in the meeting room started whispering to one another. "Your Majesty, please reconsider... Princess Jennette is also the same age as the other soon-to-be princess, but she isn't even learning yet!"

I smirked. So you are challenging me.

"I don't care. And fix your call for Athanasia, she isn't a soon-to-be. She is a princess. Get that in your skull."

"That wench will learn how to be a proper wife and will be sent to a prince sooner or later. So there's no need to fuss about her education."

"Y-your selling me off, Father?"

I turned around and saw a wench that wasn't supposed to be her.

"What are you doing here?" She flinched and looked around, finally realizing that she entered somewhere she shouldn't be.

"Felix, take care of her now, I'll deal with that thing later."

Felix nodded. I saw him holding her arm as she started to get teary.

"This meeting is finished. One more nagging from your mouth Alpheus, I'll make sure you won't be able to talk in the future." I glare as he cowardly backs down into his seat.

I stood up and left the room.

Walking down the hallway, I thought about it. Why didn't I hired teachers for that wench? Ah! There's no need for it. Right!

The aftermath of a disgraceful act. Did they think I wouldn't know? Seeing her betrayal, I wouldn't even try to get her near me.

And for them to push me to get the thing to study, to what? Rule? Hah!

I reached my office where I found the wench kneeling, and sobbing.

"Stop crying like a baby. I hate it." I said in a cold tone.

"Y-your M-majesty, is it true? You'll sell me...?"

"Are you deaf? You heard what I said earlier, isn't that why you barged in without my permission?"

She flinched. "If you're selling me, please don't sell my sister..." My eyebrows shot up at her statement.

"Who said I'm selling her? She'll be staying here. Studying on how to become a proper Princess, and being a perfect Empress." I stated.

I saw her eyes widened. "But Father! The seat for the heir is supposedly for the firstborn! I'm the first princess of the empire, not her!"

"How can you do this to me?! I was here first! How can she easily get your attention, your time, your affection... But I can't?" She started sobbing loudly.

What an ugly sight.

"I am your firstborn Father... But I didn't have an eternal name, something that means immortality... Maybe If I got your blonde hair, you'll treat me fairly like her right?" She started talking to herself.

She then turned to me, "How can she stay in the palace meant for Princess, but I stay in a palace for the emperor's concubine?! I'm also a princess Father! Even if you don't treat me like a daughter, I'm still... a... Princess..."

"If you're done. Get out. Felix, this Princess is banned from leaving her palace until further instructions. She cannot go near anywhere aside from her the Ruby Palace." I ordered and the wench looked at me with tears and sobbed loudly.

"Get her out, now!"
