A broken kingdom

chapter 3.

TW: arguing

It's been a few hours since I left Dream out in the hallway. Like I suspected, no one came to say I could go out. I knew for sure they wouldn't today since the royal family is here now.

*knock knock*

Maybe I'm lucky. Maybe I'll get to be escorted to the library today. Maybe Dream is there at my door to let me out.

I walk towards the door, grabbing my cape and pulling it over myself. Everyone here knows me, but I like having my cape. It's my security item. It makes me feel like I can protect myself. I've been secretly sparring and training with Dream in my room a few nights a few, just so I know how to protect myself. He even slipped me a dagger, to keep with me.

I put my hand over the long slender handle of the door and push down. Well... Im fucked. Shit.

My 'dad' stands there looked very pissed off, this is going to be fun. He's always been a hot head who could never control his emotions. He was a almost a foot taller than me which he always used to his advantage by standing over me to try and intimate me, I just never told him it didn't work.

"Did you talk to King Phil and his sons you rat" He spat out looking down me, his large crown thats somehow smaller than his ego.

"Well, Jack (no not the mr.manifold)
maybe I did, is that such a problem?"

"You rat its, King Jack to you, you are so ungrateful, you should be happy Im even giving you a room." Jack said clearly on the verge of snapping.

"I should be grateful? Are you serious? You are keeping me a secret and giving MY right to the throne away to a selfish brat!" I snap, not caring anymore.

"Oh you lil sh-" Jack said slowly rasing his arm in an attempt to hit me.

Im not afraid so I don't flinch but instead look him dead in the eyes and say "I'm not afraid of a selfish, stupid King who could not give a single fuck about his own daughter."

His face turns a brighter red in anger, and his raised hand drops down to point directly at my face.

"This is why we never wanted you, you are so fucking lucky that we even kept you" Jack says in a whisper of anger inching closer to my face.

All I did was reach my right hand to my small corset that hides my dagger, while he looks at me, my face stone cold. My fingers wraps around the silver handle of the dagger.

I smile, he looks confused. I swiftly pull the dagger from my corset and point it as his throught.

"I- y/n what are you doing" Jack says as the cold tip of the dagger touches his neck. Hes slowly stepping back into the hallway as I push forward.

I'm going to make a scene.

"What do you think I'm doing! I'm so sick and tired of  you hiding me away because I'm a female! I'm sick and tired, I'm older, you know I deserve the throne more, Finn will just mess everything up!!" I shout louder than I knew my voice could go.

For once the king, King Jack, he looks scared and I...I like it.

He yells for the guards, but I don't care. We've backed up into the wall, and I'm still smiling.

I feel....I feel.. the dagger still in my corset and my fingers grazing the handle. None of that happened, his finger is so pointed in my face.
I still told him the truth at least that he's a selfish stupid king. How am I going to get out of this...

"Jack, can you get out of my face now, you don't want to cause a scene do you?" I say with a sly smirk.

"You are a selfish little brat, and you know it" Jack said, I swear I saw steam coming out of his ears. He knew I was right.

He pulls his finger back and turns around with a grunt and walks upstairs, where I should be, not him.

"Wow" I hear a deep voice speak, a hint of suprise in their voice.

I turn to my left and see Technoblade, he's going to tell King Phil, oh no.

"Chill, I won't tell anyone." He says leaning on the wall and looks at me in the eye this time, he dosent look away when I meet his eyes.

"I- sorry.. he just pisses me off... how much did you see..?" I ask, scared he might have heard too much.

"Somewhere around the words 'my right to the throne' "

Oh shit. He knows.

"So you're the princesses, I thought the family only had a son?" He says, his eyebrows rasing, I didn't realize how much he walked towards me. Only a few feet between us now.

"To the world I don't exist and they'll make sure it stays that way, to the people of the household, Im a distant thought." Why did I just tell him all that, am I seriously that desperate for a friend?

"Oh... how old are you? "

"I'm 19"

"Im 20, you're older than Finn. Why should he get the throne?"

"They don't think I'm fit to rule, they wanted a man to rule not a woman" I say it almost ashamed that I was born a woman, its not my fault, I shake the thought from my head.

"Damn... are you aloud out at all?"

"Only when they say I can and even then its rare. And now, with you guys here, I won't be able to go out until you leave." I say slightly sad because I missed the gardens, where I felt somewhat okay.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that I-"

"Go" Technoblades eyes dart up to whatever is behid me and I turn quickly.

I let out a breath, damn it Sam, he really needs to stop scaring me.

"Sam!" I say, running towards him, giving him a big hug. He was always there for me, I always felt safe telling him my secrets when I couldn't tell Bad or Dream. Don't tell Dream, but Sam is my favorite gaurd. He would always bring me flowers from the garden during patrol.

"Hey n/n, miss me, haha?" Sam had been gone to get more supplies and stuff for the kingdom. It's been a week since I last saw him.

"Of course!" I almost yell.

"Hey you and the prince, go to the garden I'll cover." Sam says, looking at me with a wink.

I turn to Technoblade, who has a small smile and shrugs. I pull my hood farther over my head and start walking down the stairs, he follows.
