Being royalty is overrated. It's dresses, parties, formalities, fake smiles, and "privilege". Don't get me wrong, I'm forever grateful for a roof over my head, warm showers, clean clothes, and food. But being a princess, it's not great. That sounds selfish, I know. But I would trade anything for a normal life. To go to public school, have regular friends, and party at night. Not tea parties, actual parties. That's why I've decided I'm gonna do something about it. As a child I always heard about a place that lies outside of all the kingdoms. A small island where life is normal. No royal family, no government, just a small police department. It actually sounds too good to be true. Maybe it is. But I don't care. Im leaving tonight.
I feel as though I should give you a formal introduction. My name is Delaney and I'm the princess of Varlett Kingdom. The kingdom the rules over North America. I'm the future ruler of the continent, once my parents pass on. That's how it works with all the other kingdoms to. Once, about 20 years ago, the kingdoms weren't established. One kingdom ruled over all, with several rulers. That was until the kings and queens had a disagreement and the continents split. That's a story for another time.
One other downfall to being a princess is the nagging in your ear about finding a prince. Someone who would be good for the family line. A beautiful, strong, rich, independent man to rely on. That's the thing. I don't want or need a man to rely on. I can do things myself. Though sometimes it would be nice. To actually fall in love with someone and have them be so in love with you. But that only happens in the fairytales.
This is not a fairytale.
