The next few minutes, Anica already where she would end up. She folded her arms as she stared at ceiling blankly. Her mom, who was beside her, just sighed and said, "Why can't you be more neat, gentle, and modest like your other sisters? You're way too messy, violent, and proud. You're the complete opposite of this family." Anica's mother continued scolding her and babbling words she never paid attention to, and her mom soon realized it, so she just sent her away. Anica lazily walked around the castle, and headed to her room. She hopped on her bed and decided to sleep, but was disturbed by a bang on her door. "Not again..." She said as she groaned, and immediately walked to the door and opened it. "I'm not really surprised to see you, what is it?" Anica asked as she leaned on door while keeping an eye contact with her slightly older sister, Annie. Annie scanned her sister, from head to toe, and started giggling, "What happened to your clothes, did you get into a fight with a boar or something?" She said, somewhat mocking Anica, who never understood a thing she just said, all she wanted was to sleep and dream she could meet her "prince charming." Annie gradually stopped laughing when she saw Anica's eyes already closed and started snoring quietly. "This idiot." Annie said as she started getting angry. "WAKE UP!" She yelled. Anica got startled and opened her eyes half, "Huh? What? Is it dinner already? Okay thanks, Annie." She said as she moved her head from left to right, and slowly, but clumsily walked through her sister, who was already burning in anger. "It isn't dinner yet moron!" Exclaimed Annie. Anica rubbed her eyes and twisted her heel, finding her sister's face red like tomato. Anica scratched her head and whispered to herself, "Why are most people in this family so hotheaded?" "Why don't you know how to respect your elders, Anica?! You're attitude is disgusting." Said Annie, "You never know how respect me and our other sisters, you know nothing but sleep and venturing forests. I really wonder how you will rule this kingdom if you become the Crown Princess. You'll probably be the reason for our dynasty to end." Anica started to get angry and began crossing her arms and scoffed, "To be honest, Annie, you really amuse me a lot." She said with a smile so innocent and sweet that you don't even expect it's an evil one. Annie raised a brow, and Anica continued, "Your ego is so high, maybe as high as the heavens, but your IQ and everything else is just as low as the height of a small pebble in the streams of forests. You don't even know how to answer questions, you always ask Lili or Annette, who is literally the youngest among us, for the answer, and just give the credits to yourself. If you become the Queen, how will you rule this kingdom? Maybe YOU will be the doom of this dynasty. Plus, I'm sure Dad wouldn't choose you anyway." Annie stuttered for a moment like she wanted to say something, but just scoffed, trying to cover her humiliation she just received. Anica held back her laughter, and walked back in her room, "Don't just think about yourself sis, think about how the empire will do if you become the Queen, okay? Now shoo shoo, I'm gonna take my nap." She said as she slowly shut the door and lied on her bed, "Finally," she sighed, and curved to one side of her bed, "I can finally sleep in peace!"
After a few hours
Anica walked slowly on the shore as she gazed at the beautiful view of the sun setting in the horizon. The sound of the waves crashing and the reddish-orange reflection of the sun on the ocean gave Anica a peaceful, joyful vibe. She let the ocean waves that reach the shoreline ripple her bare feet, and let her dress flap through the strong wind breeze. Anica soon stopped on her tracks and started picking up seashells that were lying on the sand. She collected all the seashells she could see and filled her pockets with them. Everything seems to be going fine, well, not really for long. Anica's pockets we're all filled with seashells, so she stopped collecting more and just played with the waves.
"Anica!"
Anica's joyful face immediately turned into a frown, and she turned and found her younger sister Annette behind her with the biggest smile. "What is it Ann?" Asked Anica as she stood up and dusted her dress, which was covered in some sand. "Mom said you're grounded because you destroyed the vases in the living room." Answered Annette. Anica rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in annoyance, "You framed me up again huh? You're really a GREAT sister." Said Anica while walking across her sister and pushed her aside roughly, which made Annette fall to the sand. Her dress was now disheveled and filled with some sand. Anica chuckled and rushed away immediately, which made Annette laugh, "Is she scared? What an idiot." She said to herself, still lying on the sand. Before Annette could realize it, a wave suddenly splashed on her entire body, which made her literally soaked wet. Annette screamed at the top of her lungs and ran off back to the castle.
Later
Anica walked around the castle while gazing outside through the big windows on the walls. Anica turned at the fork of the hallway and was about go upstairs, but accidentally bumped into one of her sisters, Allie. Allie yelped and fell to the ground as if she was hit by a muscular, large man. Anica shook her head and just helped Allie up, but Allie pushed her away, "I don't need your help, I don't want my hands to get filled with such dirt." She scorned, "Plus," Allie added, "I don't like ugly people touching my beautiful body." Anica's eyes widened, "Really? Where am I ugly? Where exactly?" She asked. Allie chuckled and scanned her from her head down to her feet, "Everywhere. Your face, eyes, hands, body, legs, everything. You look ugly." Said Allie as she laughed evilly. Anica sighed in relief and said, "Oh, that's great then!" Allie raised a brow and said, "What?" Anica smiled and answered, "Well, at least I'm only ugly on the outside, not on the inside. Your character is what matters most, not beauty, and you can never ever cover that with your petty makeup." Allie opened her mouth, trying to say some words, but nothing came out. Anica smiled and bowed down slightly as a sign of respect, but somehow as a sign of mocking her sister as well, and walked past her sister who was still in a trance. Anica skipped around and soon started running, but not too fast, just to be a little quicker to reach her destination. Anica glanced at her pockets which were filled with seashells and she smiled joyfully, "I'm sure sissy would love these!" She said, and continued running until she reached a large door that had snowflake designs and certain patterns.
