Checkmate

Asteria

In a story you have a far away land with a beautiful princess who gets saved by the prince they kiss and live happily ever after.
What if the story changed and the princess kill the prince and stabs a dagger threw his heart. Probably not scratch that.
...

"World History all about the ancient kingdoms pick a kingdom learn it tell me its history and you pass." My professor Figgy said handing me a old book. The old man fixed his glasses sitting across from me.

"Figgy you know I'm good at History. Why throw more at me?" I ask sitting back in my chair scanning the old book.

"Beacuse you will be queen one day and I dont want you to make mistakes like some of these kingdoms did." He replies patting the book. "Plus I taught your father and he is a great king." He winks standing back up.

Figgy was right I will be queen one day. Sometimes that word queen sounds unreal. So close but so far away. I will have the kingdom in my hands and I can either kill or it make it better.

"Figgy do you think I'll be a good queen." I ask fixing my dress. Figgy turns and looks as me. Giving me a faint smile.

"I think you will be an amazing queen Asteria." He responds. "Though a queen is never late for lunch with her parents, but you might me if we dont hurry." I stand up and walk to the kitchen with Figgy.
...

"Asteria...figgy right on time." My mother responds sitting in her chair as my father follows her. My mother blonde hair flows in a nice low braid as her red dress perfectly fits her body.

"How was today's class?" My father asks? Unlike my mother my father has dark brown hair. Both giving me a light washed dirty blonde. The cook brings in each a salad to start off with. I take a bite.

"It was good just learning about the ancient kingdoms." I respond looking at my father who taking a sip of his wine.

"Ah good lessons they made me a better man. " His voice echoes mother nods and I give a small smile.

"Dont forget about the evening gathering tonight you two. Asteria I want you in the black dress and hun do something with the curly mess." She added referring to my hair. I nodded.

"Yes the gathering the king from the South will be here tonight...sadly" my father says rolling his eyes. "He always eats to many sweets he is getting plumper." My father laughs and so do I. My mother gives us both a stern look.

"Don't encourage bad behavior Ralph." She adds with a harsh tone.
Me and my father both exchange a small smile.

"Dont be so harsh my sweet." She rolls her eyes as my from gives her a kiss on the cheek.

...

I change into my black dress that fits perfectly on my my body. The hair dresser curled my hair and fixed some light makeup. I put on a tiara and my heels. The clock says 5:30 I have 10 minutes as I sit as my desk.

"Janniel do you what the event is for?" I ask my maid who sets fresh clothes in my bed. She gives me a faint smile.

"Ms.Galez I'm not for sure but I did see some lovely young men down there." She gave me a wink. I roll my eyes at her comment as she chuckles.

"You won't catch me with any of the pervs." I reply opening my book. Setting my feet on my desk. She smiles looking at me taking the book out of my hands and knocking my feet on the ground.

"Possibly but your gonna be late. So hurry shoo shoo. She rushes me out of the room as I'm welcomed by my guard Draven as he sends me to the ball room.
...

The room is filled with people from all of the world. I see my father and mother across the room. I walk to them as my mother gives me a approving smile.
