The Queen's Daughter

Charlotte and Harriet

Aria walked with a pace, after walking 300 m. She finally arrived at two great doors made out of oak. The guards at the sides didn't even need to wink. As soon as they saw her they opened the doors pushing with their strength." Good morning" Queen Felicia said in her enthusiastic voice. Aria replied. The doors shut behind her. She propped at the long dining table, decorated with candlesticks and bouquets of the world's most exotic flowers. The 40 seater table was just occupied by Queen Felicia and two small girls at the closer end of the table.

She gave her little curtsy to her mother and her little sisters, Charlotte and Harriet and sat down. A waiter arrived with a platter of food. The platter had enough to feed a small family, who couldn't afford any income. Aria loved to eat yet she kept her tall figure slim.

She picked up her knife and fork, carefully placing them in her hand as her mother taught her too. Her back was straight. Queen Felicia was drinking her cup of coffee, she had been reading the newspaper and a few letters from the ministers. Queen Felicia and Aria didn't have a great mother-daughter relationship. They would talk but Aria even wondered if she even remembered her name. Queen Felicia and Aria would always talk about her ruling the country, how she should act.

Aria's problem was that she had a serious life, she had lost her smile. She was burdened with no fun. She couldn't laugh with anybody, lessons carried out till the evening. Her mother would always remind her of her duties and this country. Aria needed to scream at her mother, if she did it probably cause an earthquake because of her frustration. She wanted to run away but it just seemed so wrong.

She just wanted to quit. Aria couldn't take it any more. She wanted to be a normal 18 year old girl, have fun. It was not always this way, when her father King Ian was here, he would take her out to parties, take her horse riding, shopping, vacations and of course spoiled her. He made sure his 11 year old daughter had everything and was happy until he married Queen Felicia. Felicia was Aria's step mother. King Ian and Queen Felicia had two daughters named Charlotte and Harriet, whom Aria loved despite their differences.

Queen Lynarria was Aria's mother, like her husband she was a fun lover. Her brown hair was just like her daughters. She enjoyed as much as she could and also took care of the country. She would constantly remind Aria on how much she loved her.Aria knew a few years later why, on Aria's 13 th birthday. She died of lung cancer. The sneaky disease bred in her until she finally said goodbye and left leaving Aria alone. The following year King Ian had also died, exhausted by life. Ever since then queen Felicia took care of the country.

Queen Felicia noticed Aria's silence." Are you not hungry, Aria?" She asked. " I am" Aria replied, starting to pick on her bowl of fruit. "Well I have received a letter from the minister, he says that we are continuing are success in trade and that he hopes his best." She remarked with a smile. Felicia loved money more than her own daughters, Aria could say this because she had seen her leave 3 month old Charlotte behind to spend on a vacation.

"Aria, I think I need to talk to you about something. Very important" Queen Felicia said in a deep tone. " I'd like to see you in my office at 3 in the afternoon." Aria nodded. After breakfast, the Queen went to her room to read, that meant Aria could finally breathe. It was 9 in the morning, Aria had just another hour before her first lesson. She decided to see Charlotte and Harriet. She knocked on their bedroom door and slipped in.

Charlotte was reading her book and Harriet was painting, they noticed Aria was in there room and ran to hug her. Aria was almost about to trip. "Careful "

Charlotte and Harriet were twins, with their blonde hair and brown eyes. Both of them were 10 years old. Both of them were different. Charlotte loved to read. Her bookshelf was bigger than the entire library in the palace. She was very creative and her imagination was amazing. Charlotte would tell her sisters how the moon could actually turn blue(without the Smurfs).Harriet was the loud and wilder twin sister. She loves sports and dance. She could pick up any dance move at tremendous speed no matter the difficulty. Aria was happy that at least her sisters didn't have to run the country an they could have fun even when they were 21!

"What's wrong, Ari?" Charlotte asked Aria." Mother wants to talk about something important "She replied "So what's wrong in that?" Harriet asked. "She wants me to become quuen,Harriet!"Aria knew this day would come. The twins did not know what to say. It was finally then when my lessons started with my mistress, Reading, History, Maths, Archery, Horse Riding and then Art and Science. Aria was supposed to have etiquettes right now but she had to see her mother,
