My eyes crumbled.
They were paining because of my night disease, insomnia. I am never able to sleep at nighttime and I often feel lazy and sleepy in school.
As my eyes finally opened wide, I remembered that I was in one of the most precious and expensive cars. I opened the windows, and I could see the entire town waiting for me.
Kids were already idolizing me.
Everyone had different flowers in their hands, roses, tulips, orchids, etc. I didn't care. I didn't really like flowers, but when I did, daisies had always been my favourite.
The car stopped. I could see tall gates with stems handing around. The ones I read about in my dark academia books.
Yes.
THOSE ONES.
Before I had a chance to react, a guard swiftly opened the door. Guiding me, I emerged from the car. All around me, I could sense the gaze of countless people, captivated by the presence of the "king's" daughter. I am my mother's girl, the rightful queen.
IT IS WHAT IT IS!
Thank God, I wasn't wearing one of those stupid gowns I had to pick up and elegantly walk-wave to the crowd like I was a goddamn celebrity. I might soon become one.
I place my hands in the pockets of my sweater and walked towards the gate of the palace followed by a ton of thug-looking guards.
I finally saw him for real.
He hadn't aged a bit.
My dad, Alexander Asheton. He grabbed me in his arms and hugged my tightly. Viviane starred at me the whole time. She was proud of me, but at the same time she wished I were dead. She gave me THOSE EYES.
Dad introduced me to Mattheo, my younger brother, and Valeria my youngest sibling. I can't really call them mine as they aren't really related to me.
All I came here was for revenge. And I knew I'm not going anywhere without destroying every single person's life here. Not all maybe. Just Viviane and Alexander.
