The Magical Kingdom Past

Arguments and Family

(Back in LK pov)

This sucks... I'm stuck in a house with no way to entertain myself. I am slowly getting better from the recent event. But now I have to sit around in a house with no way to entertain myself. I haven't spoken to Maria or Bella but I have been frequently chatting to Elaine. God I love Elaine. Not in a weird way, in a friend way. She listens to me whilst I rant, and instead of coming up with crappy solutions, she shows sympathy.

Whilst I was trying to do something to entertain myself, I got called down to go to my father. Side rant here, why does my dad do that? He's perfectly capable of walking up a flight of stairs to talk to me but he refuses to. He must just be lazy. But I hurled myself out of bed and forcibly walked down the stairs. I was met with a very angry father. Dammit.

"Right, listen to me closely young lady. We are having a Royal meeting today and I need you to be on your best behaviour. None of your run away attempts, Crying fits or anything. This is a royal meeting and I Expect you to behave. If you don't, you will be in severe trouble, missy. Also, wear a dress and freshen up a bit." He ordered.

"Can't I just wear this?" I said, referring to my Shorts and shirt.

"No. It's not very princess like. We need to look the most like a royal family." He explained.

Better not get drunk though, or you'll fight my mother and then we won't look like a royal family. But I kept that thought to myself. I dragged myself back up the stairs.

"meeting is at 6pm!" He called out after me.

I collapsed backwards onto my bed and just dreamt about things being different. After all, Why wouldn't it be? Why can't it be? Why must it be?

"Princess?" A guard said, startling me.

"Oh! Uh, Yes?" I say, sitting up.

"Are you okay? The Queen told me to ask you because of what the king said." He told me. And Yet again, My parents are being lazy and sending messengers instead of themselves.

"I'm fine I guess..." I muttered. I was actually angry at the fact that I'm not allowed to wear whatever I want. Who's going to care anyway? It's a royal meeting not a royal announcement.

"I can tell that's a lie. What your father said was unruly, I'm aware. But he kind of has a point. This royal meeting is a big deal to a lot of people. The Prince of minecraft and his family will be there, they are really important and if they think less of this household, it will shame the Kingdom." The guard said

"Simple, tell them to stop looking then." I complained, Making the guard laugh a little.

"I wish I could, Princess. Trust me. But I can't. How about you get yourself ready and prepare yourself for the Royal meeting?" The guard told me.

He left and I put on my Dress and the makeup I usually use. Luckily, my dress is long so I hopefully won't get harassed by way older men today. If not I'll just hide in the kitchen with Chef Marty like I usually do. What is it with men and not understanding the meaning of the word "No"? I wear this dress because I'm forced to, not because I want to be harassed by 40 year old men.

Once I put on my dress and Makeup, I gave myself enough time to mentally prepare and practice my "I'm happy to be here" face. At least I've somewhat mastered Pretending.

Walking down those stairs feels like walking to my death. Butler Dean was being helped by Various guards and Butler people to set up the tables and chairs. You could hear Various people counting the amount of chairs or plates or something. In the kitchen, Chef Marty was back and fourth between Ovens and stoves. With a server counting the dishes per individual. Alongside that was glasses upon glasses of Expensive wines, Liquors, Chardonnay, Bordeaux and some Juices or waters for children. They know though that the Majority of the children will just sneak a glass of wine or Liquor. It's the only way to help us get through this meeting.

People were beginning to show up and sit down, being offered glasses of Alcohol. There's Quite a few people my age but I prefer to stand to the side and let everyone talk to each other. Boring, I know.

Except this time, the Prince of minecraft actually came up to talk to me. I assume his mother told him to. I looked up from the book I was reading in the kitchen to see him in his Prince outfit. His blue eyes blending in with his blue suit.

He looked down at me, kind of confused as to why I would be reading at a time like this.

"Hello... I'm Prince Donny, the Prince of minecraft. What's your name?" He asked.

"Princess Kelly, Princess of the Magical kingdom." I said. Why on earth is the Prince of minecraft talking to me?

"Nice.. I just thought I should get to know some more of the Royal families in this area. I haven't spoken to a lot of people in this area." He said. Okay. So small talk then. I get it.

The rest of the meeting went by like expected. Adults getting drunk and joking about things that probably shouldn't escape the meeting like Adultery, me sitting here bored out of my mind and just regular small talk conversations. Blah blah blah, you get the drill.

Or at least I do.

But anyways, Pulling me out of my thoughts was the sound of silence. Like, everyone had gone Quiet. What the heck?

"Augustus, I thought I told you to not drink this much!" A woman with Light ginger hair pleaded, Hugging his arm. Augustus (I presume) shoved her off.

"I can't stand staying in this Hic house any longer. C'mon Agatha, we're leaving." The quite drunk man said, Pulling her away with him. She stumbled a little but was Quick to her feet, Racing him out of the house.

Then everything went silent. Like God awfully silent. I looked over at my father, who's eyes refused to meet mine.

"Right, Although this meeting has been lovely, I suggest me and my wife be off. Son, you shall be coming with us too. It was a pleasure coming here King Tom and queen Sophie." King David said as he ushered his son over.

They were quick to leave, the Prince giving me a tired wave and following his father. Many other people said their farewells and left accordingly. Until there was no one. Then butler Dean, Chef marty and various other guards began to make the throne room normal again, Tables being moved to the dining room, Plates being cleaned, disregarded empty bottles of various Alcohols being Cleared away until all settled into silence.

I went to my room, ignoring my parents hushed whispers and discussions. I'm so over this. The next time I have to go to a stupid meeting I'm putting my foot down and saying no. I changed out of my dress, Cleaned off my make up and went to bed. I slowly managed to fall asleep since I was exhausted, even with my parents faint bickering in the background.
