Chapter 3/Yelena Heartjoy

,,Majesty" the voice of my servant woke me up and ended up my dream. ,,it is time to wake up. King and queen are expecting you for the breakfast"

I rolled over in my bed yawning. And then I sit up, looking towards the door.

,,Of course Mira, don't worry. We wouldn't wanna keep the king and queen waiting" I replied softly with a bitter taste of annoyance in my voice.

I slowly got up from the bed and walked towards the door. I put my hand on the door handle, getting ready to open the door.

,,Can I come in your majesty or d-" Mira started but was shortly cut off as I opened the door and she almost stumbled into the room if I wouldn't put my hands on her shoulders steadying her.

After I was sure that she was standing properly, I let go off her. Mira dusted off her dress and looked up at me. ,,Thank you so much your majesty"

I smiled at her and turned around to face my room, slowly walking towards the bathroom.

,,Absolutely no problem Mira. The fault is actually all mine. I should have expected, that you're going to be against the door" I opened the door to the bathroom and turned back to Mira. ,,oh and Mira"

She turned to me. ,,Yes your majesty?"

I smiled at her and softly laughed. ,,Call me just Yelena"

She smiled back at me. ,, I'm sorry Yelena. I just keep forgetting".

,,It is completely okay Mira. I can understand" My smile faltered a little bit.

It wasn't really common for our staff to call us by names. A royal family... you might ask if everyone in my family is like this. And my answer is no. The great king, my father is the exact image of power and even if he plays to be really nice and gentle among others, to his own family he's really stern. At least to me. My mom says it's because I'm not afraid to let myself be heard and say what I think. She, on the other hand is mostly afraid of my father I think. She never speaks out of her line. The line, that king created throughout those years. And my brother is like his father, just with the cocky grin and behavior. Trust me...he thinks that every girl will just fall down to his knees after one look. I beg to differ but he's a really good actor and most of the girls just do fall down to his knees. But I still keep hoping, that there will be a different one, that will see right through him and his game. Overall, he plays this role of a good son and prince too well. Snobbish like his father.

And me? Well...I feel like the black sheep of the family. I see more to the life just than being locked behind that royal act and face. And that's why I'm trying to be different, to show people, that even the royals can be like them and can be...free of the act.

,,Yelena...Yelena...princ-...Yelena"

The voice of Mira brought me out of my thoughts.

,,Are you okay Yelena?"

I shook my head and smiled. ,,Sure I am Mira" I paused to take a deep breath. ,,well let's get me ready then"

And with that I went to the bathroom with Mira following me.

Queen's pov

I stood up before the tall dining room window. I didn't really realize how long I kept standing there, until I heard the voice of my husband.

,,Adelaide" I turned to his voice and smiled.

,,Yes my dear?"

,,Where is your daughter? I've sent for her two hours ago" He rubs his forehead. ,,Oh I swear that sometimes I think she doesn't even care about this family"

I put my hand on his shoulder and make him look at me. ,,Don't worry, she absolutely loves our family. She's just getting ready. You know how the girls in her age are. 20 years and trying to look pretty and decent on every occasion".

,,Or she's just not quick enough" the new voice cuts in and my son descents the stairs.

,,Mother" he bows his head at me in respect and then turns to the king and repeats the action.

,,Damen, my son" the king hugs his son. ,,good morning. I hope you slept well."

,,Of course father" he lets his father go. ,,well....where's my amazing sister?"

,,I'm right here Damen" in that moment my daughter comes down from stairs and strolls to us.

,,Glad you could finally join us sissy. Your father here couldn't wait any longer." Damen offered his arm to Yelena

,,Well I'm sorry, I was late but I had a really interesting dream"

,,Care to share sis?"

,,Absolutely no" Yelena takes her brother's arm. ,,besides, I'm sure that father didn't call us here for the "spill the tea of my dream" or rather "spill the dream"...am I right father?"

We all sit down behind the table.

,,You are right Yelena" he takes his morning coffee and takes a sip. ,,I called you here to tell you the news about our ever first funfair"
