Birthstone kingdom

Chapter 4

I wake up to the smell of pancakes. I put on something decent and walk downstairs. I see Luc's mother singing while cooking and I walk towards her.

'good morning!' I say and she turns around. 'Oh good morning dear! Go sit on the table and then we can discuss about your paperwork for royal duties.'

I sit down with the most delicious pancakes and his mother looks at me. 'So I did some research last night and it states here that you have the rights to do it whenever you want and need nobody's permission. Once you sign it you can go back but it will be hard. The only way you would have to continue your royal duties is if they run out of heirs to the throne.' She stops to take a breath and I jokingly say: 'Well guess I don't have to worry about that.'

Aiden, Luc's older brother, walks in and jokingly says: 'Well good morning princess.' His mother gives him the death stare and he quickly walks away. 'Well let's "unprincess" you.' She says while grabbing her bag. I follow her and we get in the car.

The car starts driving and I am very nervous. 'It is okay darling, I will park down the road and you just go in.'

I get out the car and walk to the gate. The guards see me. They ask no questions and let me in. I hear them talking into a mic. 'Princess Elena is coming to the front door.'

I see my mother running down the stairs towards me with my siblings following her. I look angry to them. My mother tries to hug me but turn her away. My sisters are yelling at me but I don't care. I look to my mother and say. 'I am here to be released from my royal duties.' Everyone falls quiet and my mother just starts crying. I walk past them and I see Freddy in the door opening. 'back so soon?' I say nothing but he noticed my mother crying. He grabs me by the shoulders and turned me around. 'What the fuck did you say to your mother?'

I look at him, look away and walk to my room. I pack some stuff I couldn't bring the first time.

When I am done I walk back to my mother in the library who has the paper ready. My mother is crying, Freddy is looking at me in pure disgust and my siblings look sad but happy that someone is gone in line of the throne.

After I sight the contractEugene is hugging my mother and screaming at me: You fucking idiot, you see howmother is? You don't marry for love! Just accept your fate.' I am so done withthis treatment that the only thing I say back is: 'I hope you end up with yourprecious throne and loveless marriage.'
