No Ordinary Peasant [Sashanne]

Chapter 1

In a far far away land known as Amphibiland, the happiest kingdom in all the world. The land is ruled by King Grime and the late Queen.

They had one daughter, Sasha Waybright. A princess who would one day rule the Kingdom of Amphibiland along side her significant other.

Sasha's POV

"But father, I don't wanna go to some goofy royal ball!" I grunted, complaining about this dumb idea.

"Sasha, you are twenty years old now!" My father turned the tables, becoming angry with me. "You will have to take over the kingdom soon, and I would hate for you to go through it alone like-"

"I know, I know. You had to rule the kingdom alone since mother's death." I rolled my eyes, annoyed with this recounted story. "We have been over this a million times, father. Mother died after giving birth to me! I get it!"

Father become silent as I recalled his exact words. "My apologies father, I just don't wanna rule the kingdom. I wanna be a knight. Someone who fights off dragons and witches, someone who gets to learn how to use a sword, and someone who gets to wear something besides a puffy pink dress."

"I know, sweetheart. In another life, you probably are a knight in shining armor. But I need you in this reality. You are a princess, and you can't change that." Father basically and literally snapped me back to the realization that my dreams are trash. "I don't understand why you hate the dress so much. I think you look beautiful."

I crossed my arms, knowing he is just saying that to change the subject.

Then, the door to my room creeped open, revealing servant Percy. "Pardon me, your highness. Your presence is needed in the grand hall."

"Tell them, I will be right down. I must go, Sasha. The ball begins at 6pm, please show up this time." He pleaded before disappearing down the hallway.

When the door closed behind him, I felt into my bed behind me. "Ughhh," I whined, covering my face with my hands.

"Everything okay, Princess?" My maid, Braddock, checked in from another room.

She must have been cleaning, considering the cart she was pushing around.

"No. It is boring! Being a princess is boring!" I got up from the bed, over flowing with frustration. "I do the same thing over and over every single day. Nothing is excited. It is always listen to father, attend my royal duties, and blah blah blah."

"I totally understand." Braddock gives me a warm smile, trying to cheer me up. "I cannot fully understand being a princess, but I know the feeling of being bored with the same routine. Sometimes we just gotta hold our head high and spend it with those you love."

"Girl, are you referring to Percy?" I turned, teasing.

Her face become flushed with a bright red blush and shocked expression. "Whatttt? Nooo."

"Awww come on! It is plain to see that you like him, and he likes you." I explain, pointing out all the small hints I gathered during their last interaction.

Her blush remained as she quickly changed the subject. "Oh would you look at the time! I should go, so you can get ready for the royal ball tonight, my lady."

She rushed out within the blink of an eye. "Oh, she has got it bad."

I glared at my dress that father had tailored for this evening. It was a pink dress that puffed out towards the bottom and had to two small straps that crossed on the back and held in on my body.

I have never liked wearing dresses. I was always so jealous of the guys that father has invited to these royal balls. They got fancy suits while I got dumb dresses.

I wanted to be knight from a young age. They got to do something new everyday, but I got the "luxury" of being a princess.

I slipped into the dress, hating every minute of it. I called for my makeup and hair dressers, allowing them to only give me a simple look for the evening. That just meant light makeup and curling my hair down. I put a pair of matching high heels that father had delivered this morning.

I looked in the mirror, not resonating with the girl looking back at me. I let out a sigh, crunching my eyes shut.

I am just so ready for this night to be over already.

I slap on a mediocre smile, trudging down the stairs to the massive sized ball room.

They had went all out for this one with fancy life sized ice sculptures, a chocolate fountain, streamers, golden balloons, an orchestra band, and loads of appetizers.

There was already a lot of people stirring around the ball room. None of which remotely caught my attention.

When I got to the bottom of the steps, I was met by my father. "I am so glad you came down, darling. I have already gathered a group of potential suitors that would love to meet you." He practically dragged me to the center stage with several guys in line.

I zoned out because of how boring and bland every guy was. It was the same thing over and over.

"I am Prince Alec, and I am madly in love with you."

"I am Prince Derek, and you will not find anyone better than me. Did I mention was the best?"

"I am just here for the shrimp cocktail."

I managed to escape for a few minutes from the room, using royal meeting as an excuse. I just decided to hide in my room for a few minutes until I recoup.

I stared out my bedroom window at the dark and starry sky.

I just wish I could get out of here for just a moment.

Suddenly, I saw something. Or should I say someone. I could make out a dark complected girl with shaggy brown hair.

I had never seen her before. That is saying a lot too because I have seen everyone in the kingdom at least once. I don't forget a face.

I decided to go out on a limb and find out who she was. I changed from my dress into my own custom made knight armor that I hid away and tied my hair up. This will help me get out of the castle without anyone suspecting anything.

"Halt, knight! Where are you headed?" I was stopped at the gates, leading to the woods.

I deepen my voice, "I am heading into the woods. Princess Sasha's orders."

With that, no questions were asked, and I proceeded.
