Flashback/dream:
"Here's a flower for you, Lia." She whispers and giggles as she gives me the little daisy.
The sun hits her face and I can barely look at her. She glows and I'm not talking about her outside...more like a bright light from the inside. Like magic...
"Thanks Lili, but I don't have one for you." I realise. It seems like the worst problem in the entire world.
I don't have a single flower for my friend.
"Don't worry, you don't need one for me." She says and smiles.
"Because you're the princess."
*flashback end
I wake up as if somebody slapped me across my face.
"Because you're the princess."
I didn't realise it then but it's been haunting me since I was born. Born to be queen. Queen of Maya.
Anxiety fills my lungs. It gets harder to breathe. To exist. Each day that goes by, I feel like I'm running out of air.
I'm already 18 and it's time for me to-
To find a partner. A men worthy to help me keep Maya a peaceful place on what's left of Earth.
I take a deep breath. Don't freak out Lia, just breathe. You still got time, I try to calm myself.
Before I freak out completely, Lilith my maid storms into my room. Like always in her work clothes which make her look older than she is.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
She says with slight anger in her voice.
Usually she's so put together but since my parents new 'project', as I like to call it, she's been loosing her cool quite frequent.
"You have a meeting in an hour with your parents and the council, because of the Selection. "
Selection. How much I hate this word.
"Uhhh, isn't this exciting? 30 men just for you." She tries to sound happy or excited...I can't tell.
But for some reason it feels like...
She's trying to get rid of me. When I have a- *ugh* lover, there will be no need for her.
"Lili?" I ask her.
She stops preparing my clothes for today and looks at me suprised.
"Yes, your highness?" Lilith asks me politely and weirdly formal.
I take a deep breath.
"First it's still Lia for you. It's always been just Lia. So drop the Highness or I will murder you in your sleep."
I demand loud and clear. But still can't shake a little grin.
"And second, are you trying to get rid of me?" I ask directly.
I never understood why people wouldn't come straight to the point. In this department I am like my father. Honest. Direct.
Her eyes widen. "Your hi-"
She clears her throat.
"Lia, you know I would never. It's just..."
I stare into her eyes, longing for an answer. Right now everyone is pushing me into this role of a queen and away from a girl who's just Cecilia.
Lilith eyes look at the clock. In pure shock she quickly talks herself out of the situation and says: "Nothing important. Now get dressed or I will murder you."
I want to be mad but burst into laughter. She knows me too well.
Laughing I quickly get ready. Don't want to be more of a disappointment before the 'project' has even started...
