Present day.  Y/n's pov:

I slashed the sides of my sword against a pole of wood, preforming multiple techuneqes and manuveres. Letting all my anger, stress and frustration out on the helpless piece of wood.

(Dont come at me, I haven't gone to fencing class yet, idk how it works :,,D )

Although Today in particular is a day to stress about. Today is the day of the ceremony, the ceremonial of the crown being passed down to the only child in this kingdom, that only child being me.

Today I am becoming the leader of the kingdom, and oh boy how I im stressed as fuck.

I have to be perfect or at least act perfect for this kingdom or else everything goes to shit, everything my parents have ever built on this fair land, all being held on my chest now.

Not a fun feeling.

But its tradition, and if you dont stick to tradition in this age, well, things get.. messy.

Of course I had dreams of doing things else wise than ruling the kingdom when I was younger but those were dreams of a immature child, too blind to see how shitty this world really is.

But really all that matters right now, is getting ready.

I was pulled out of deep thought with a voice, "y/n its time to get ready for tonight, you literally cannot be late", gwen or as I call her 'gwennie', 's voice said to me from across the room.

Gwennie was an abandoned child that two of the castles guards found on patrol a few years back, the two guards, Matt and Stevie ended up taking her in as their own and now they have a cute little (gay) happy family.

Gwennie is only a few years younger than me, we're basically sisters, Matt and Stevie have always been like parents to me as I like to pretend my blood-related ones aren't my actual parents. Those fucking dickheads. Anygays-

"Okay gwennie, ill come up In a sec, let me just put away my shit real quick" I quickly replied, she nodded and walked away.

I started putting away my sword and other equipment before quickly running up the stairs into the halls to catch up with Gwen.

I caught up to her.

"Okayyyyy so what's first?" I asked her, resting my hands on my hips.

"Well what I remember from maid training, we should go check up on dress settings. Oh hey by the way have you double checked the guest list, finalized the colour scheme and go through the food menu's for the third time yet?" 

She asked mockingly since all ive been talking about and working non-stop on the past few weeks were about the caramony and making sure it goes smoothly, hopefully gaining respect from the more popular guests, showing off the amount of time and dedication that went into the party.

"Haha...wait that reminds me, I need to look at the guest's list again, I might of accidentally skipped a few names last night,, im not sure..." I responded worryingly.

"Y/nnnn dont worry, im sure everything will be fine, plus look at the bright side, you wont have to totally be under the control of your parents anymore!" She reminded me, trying to lift my spirits, which I deeply appreciate.

"Okay, now moving on, where are the dress arrangements again?" I asked, changing the subject back to the original topic.

"Right along this way, follow me" she responded happily skipping away down the halls with me following behind.

Alex's pov:

"Alex, esta noche hay una ceremonia de coronación de un reino rival, pero desafortunadamente tenemos que irnos, como es tradición."

("Alex, tonight there's a crowning ceremony from a rival kingdom but unfortunately we have to go, as it is tradition to")

my father said to me, eyes on the mirror infant of him, fixing his bow-tie.

I grunted.

"¿Estás seguro de que me tengo que ir?, ¿por qué no pueden ir tú y mamá?"

("Are you sure I have to go?, why can't you and mom just go?")

I asked, annoyed I would have to post-pone the planning of my own crowning ceremony. Which I wasn't at all excited for, I still had the dreams of running away and making my own nation, Im still determined to bring those dreams to reality aswell.

"Alexis." Father deadpanned.

I sighed, "alright, ill go get ready".

"That's more' like it" father said in a happier tone, probably glad he wouldn't have to argue.

I went up into my bedroom and got changed into a pair of black slacks, a white work shirt and some regular suspenders. Grabbing my tie and suit jacket to put on later.

I gave a few pats on the head to Stuart the mouse in his cage and left the room.

Stuart was one of the mice y/n had sent after the rats weren't working the first time, poor mouse was hungry and thirsty when he first came with a letter. So I took him in as a pet, he's quite old but he acts as if age doesn't effect him. Stuart is really all I got now so I appreciate his presence. Especially the memories he holds.

"Are you done yet hijo?" (Son)


"Si, im coming down right now!"
