Arthur went to check up on our airplanes and boats. Lately, he's been absent and away from me. I wish he would lighten up on his work and spend some time with me. Yet, I do understand that his duty as King comes before me. Do I want it this way? No. Will I put up with it anyway? Sure.
I sat inside of my room confined between these walls handling Persianian finances. I managed to answer many emails from our Witch courts. Everyone is in the ruling, if I'm not married by the time my coronation is here, I'm getting crowned without marrying. The great thing about me is, Persianian courts are on my side and always have been. Everyone is scared because I'm this 'big, bad hybrid' and plus everyone loves me.
Sitting in this room by myself is lonely. I haven't felt this alone in forever. I guess it's because I've been wrapped up in Arthur's presence that I've forgotten what it feels like to be alone.
Suddenly, I get an email from General Tyler, my military general assistant.
----------
"Dearest Princess, July 22nd, 2025
We've received regards from Jenoviah, if they do not win the war against Rolumpus they are going to declare war on Persiania. We must discuss our tactics to avoid an ambush/attack. I know you're busy, but when you can please contact me, Persiania needs help.
~General Tyler"
----------
I sigh "I have no way of avoiding this, really?" I decided to call Tyler "Hey I'm on my way over" I hung up the phone and opened a portal to Persiania.
Fathers brows furrow at Tyler "She isn't fit to-"
I zip his mouth shut and point at him "I've heard enough out of you."
Tyler sighs "Okay now, never mind him. Persiania is in trouble and I've no idea where to start. We need our leader."
I laugh "Drag everyone in the military on duty. I want guards and soldiers to lock, stock, and barrel the borders." I grab a cup of tea "I want all cops on duty too. You know how to do our daily run outs, I want as many up and going as possible."
He smiles "Of course, Princess."
I sigh, for some oblivious reason he thinks I'll get back together with him.
Father tried mumbling something out and I glared "The only thing you're worried about is your power. The thing I'm worried about is my people's power. So until I'm done cleaning up a mess that you won't clean up yourself, your mouth will remain shut."
Tyler chimes everyone in "Everyone to the HQ, I repeat everyone to the HQ."
I take a sip of my tea "Send one of the guards to the central PD and tell everyone to go on staff."
"Raith go to central PD and alert the officials that the Princess wants everyone on standby."
I sigh "Rolumpus will win, so we have to be prepared for any attack that Jenoviah tries throwing. I want to be prepared. We must always be prepared."
The office doors fly open and my enraged orange eyes are met with gorgeous red eyes.
Arthur comes from behind me and wraps his arms around my waist "It's so cute watching you defend your home."
I look back at Tyler "Nobody, and I mean nobody is allowed to sleep or go home till I'm sure that Persiania is safe, this may need to go on till the end of the war so I'll need you to daily update our Police, EMT, Firefighters, and soldiers."
Arthur rubs my back trying to ease all the anger out of me "Calm yourself."
I breathe slowly trying to regulate my heart rate "I don't want to see a single aircraft in our skies tell all of our aircrafts to come down immediately. If an aircraft flies over and they're not marked by the Persianian mark shoot it down, no questions asked. Guard our waters, nobody goes out past the reef if you see another boat enter our coast, sink them."
Tyler walks out of my office getting straight to work on my orders. Wonderfully I've given orders without my father trying to pressure marriage and exercise his 'power'.
Arthur kissed me "Good job keeping your cool and guiding your people to safety."
His lips tasted like mangos and that was my cue to shut up.
I unmuted dad and he tried walking over to Arthur and I but two guards stopped him.
I took advantage "This is what a true ruler does. They protect their people and fear nothing. They don't crave power. They crave to lead and guide and want the loyalty of their people."
Arthur held me close to him, as if he's truly proud of me and what I just got done doing.
----------
Arthur ordered the chefs to make me sushi and crab legs as a peace offering to the little demon that stirred inside of me today. The enragement I've reached is enough to turn someone's head into a bobble head. I sat in Arthur's bed reading over Rolumpian finances. He sat inside the miniature room and played a soft song on the piano.
I see a book laying on his nightstand. I look over at Arthur to see if he's paying attention then I grab the book. I began to read.
----------
"June 27th, 2025
She's as gorgeous as the last time I saw her. Beautiful tan skin, big brown eyes, angelic wavy brown hair that reaches her knees. That innocent smile is enough to blind a god. I have no idea if she even feels the same as I once did and still do feel."
----------
"June 30th, 2025
She's as graceful as a Queen. When she becomes Queen she'll be such a modest and classy one. A true Queen of patience, dignity, and kindness. never mind the horrible things people call her because she's a hybrid. She's just so glorious and majestic."
----------
"July 07th, 2025
A majestic night sky,
A sky that settles beneath,
A sky that holds itself up for the mistress to sleep.
She lays soundlessly,
Glory in her face,
She rests once more, as the light takes its place."
----------
"July 14th, 2025
I can tell she hasn't been at rest like this in a long time. I'm glad she's at least comfortable."
There was a sketch of me laying in his bed on July 14th. It was the most delicate and dedicated art I've seen. A piece that truly was in tribute to me.
----------
A hand reaches for the book and takes it away from me "You are so nosey."
I smile nervously "I didn't mean to intrude your privacy I just-"
He kissed me then pulled me into his lap "It's okay" he began to stroke my hair "think about your sleep now..."
That's the last thing I remember before sleep pulled me into a deep slumber.
