"well my sweet darling Raven, you wanted me didn't you, well here I am" he said with a twisted smile whilst he caressed my cheek. Madness, passion, love and obsession swirling in his firery eyes as all I could see was my reflection. Yes this is the...
Well last night I dreamt about what Neva told me about love and it sounded like a life long exciting game to me than a feeling. Maybe it can be felt but what is this love of another, I may be the next queen of Rubri but to say that I care about my subjects will be a sin in my mouth on its own, I don't care about them neither have they cared for me anyways, all they care about is a stable monarchy and who to blame if everything in their lives get shitty. Well I ain't cut out for that besides that being a ruler also cuts my chances of exploring this vast continent so I'll make sure I carry about my plan of worst heir known till my brother exceeds me in talents and fame and takes the throne.
I got out of bed and did my hygiene routine wore a white dress and gold jewelry. Sigh, gowns like these ain't for me I tell you, they contrast with me but they are our national color so I must. I heard a knock on my door and a young maid with dark brown hair and brown eyes got in.

What an odd combination but it suits her.
"Good morning your highness, I'm here to inform you that breakfast is ready" she said with a bow. I hummed an acknowledgement stood up and walked out the door. I walked in the corridor humming an unfamiliar tune, one I heard whispered in my ear, I can't quite get the words of the tune but it goes well with my voice almost as if it was made for me. When I got to the dinning hall, I sat down and servants began opening the dishes for me as they served my plate. My plate consisted of bacon, lettuce bread, cheese and wine as well as water. Wine has become a part of my blood with how I so love it. As I savored my meal Neva came in and then bowed with a greeting. I acknowledged her with a hum as I continued eating.
"Your highness your brother wishes to meet you in the drawing room" Neva informed me. Cornelius wants to see me? How lovely I smirked.
"Very well" I said as I finished my breakfast. I stood up and waved a hand as I walked towards Cornelius' drawing room, he did love art when he was still a baby now these corridors are filled with his art, telling stories only a few with vision can interpret. When I arrived a knight that was stationed at the door bowed to me knocked on the door and announced my arrival. I had a deep come in and when I entered I saw him focused and entranced in his next piece.

Cornelius
"Why have you summoned my presence little brother, it's rude making your elders walk for you" I smirked as I sat on one of his plush sofas. He put his paint brush down sighed then looked at me with a raised brow.
"Well sister I thought why not have a little chat and entertain you since you were so bored" he said his voice monotone. Crap, so this was a trap for a lecture. I clicked my tongue as I crossed my legs and put my chin on my hand.
"This kingdom is as monotonous as your voice" I bit. What did he expect I do? Smile and suck up to the nobles in my kingdom please.
"Why not try securing your position in the land so when you ascend to the throne you'll have a firm foundation" he said to me a bit of concern laced in his voice. How sweet
"None ever wanted to make me queen, they just can't control me Cornelius....like you" I said. He frowned at that but could not refute because he knew I was right.
"Sometimes we have to live by the laws of this world if we want to remain intact" he said with a sigh as he stood up came to were I was and poured himself some tea as he sat down, he knew I don't drink that crap unless it's for a hangover.
"Why not fight fire with fire then?" I asked annoyed at his small sighted logic. He looked at me then looked out of the window. He knew something, why isn't he saying anything? See my brother can receive visions of the future and the past. With such a gift he could have ascended the throne with ease but my brother like me doesn't want that damned throne, it just doesn't feel right sitting on it.
"To face a kingdom you need a kingdom Raven" he said his eyes glowing. I looked at him then sighed, he was right and I don't have enough power in my kingdom to begin with what more another. I stood up and then looked at him.
"Goodbye Cornelius" I then turned and walked away.
"But we haven't begun yet" his voice laced with amusement. I ignored him and walked through the door Neva opened for me then the door shut behind me.
"Oh dear sister, there's more to your destiny than you know and enough adventure to satisfy you for a lifetime"
