"What's going on? Is anybody going to tell me?" I asked, but my words hung in the air, completely ignored.
Five minutes ticked by in silence. Finally, we arrived at Yasmine's chambers, where we waited for her to continue.
Yashi took two deep breaths, closed her eyes, and covered her face with her hands. "Aish, let's set aside personal issues. As your queen, I expect respect. Remember, I will never forgive you." Her gaze pierced mine.
"I need a favor from you. That's all." Her words dropped like a weight.
I longed to escape, to disappear. Eight seconds of silence dragged on.
How can she be like this to me. Everytime a try to untangle the threads messed around us, but it's like she doesn't give damn about that. Everytime I try from my side, but it's like she had given up on us long before I was old enough to understand. And now I don't think our relationship will ever change.
Breaking the silence, I declared, "Whatever, I'm not here to hit my head against the floor." My voice echoed through the room.
-"Remember, don't dare play with me. I acknowledge you're queen, but I'm not a puppet on your strings."
Anger clearly flashed in voice, words and in all my features.
Uncle James intervened, his voice cold and expression serious. "Please, I request both of you to refrain from arguing here."
Yasmine turned, her gaze fixed on a point on the wall. "Okay, no more fighting. Aish, I just want you to behave and show good manners when our guests arrive. Please, don't reveal our relationship to the world." She exhaled deeply. "It's better to keep it private."
I murmured, "Is that all you want? Is there something else?"
Yasmine's eyes sparkled, hinting at hidden secrets. "You're right; there are other things."
She leaned forward, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "I'll tell you about them later. But first, promise to act like a smart and decent princess in front of our guests."
Yasmine reclined, her expression dismissive. "You may leave now. It's better, if you get for sleep now."
Yasmine dismissed me without giving me a chance to speak, her formality a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing inside me. She just told me to leave, without answering the unasked question storming inside me. How can expect me to remain quiet after all this? And at the top of that, she had audacity to order me to sleep? How can I sleep when she had done terrible things to steal it from me?
Why can't she understand my feelings and emotions? Loneliness has become a suffocating shroud, billing me with its crushing weight. My own sister wants me dead.
If only I had someone to halve my burdens, to share my feelings and keep me company. But I'm alone.
Every night since I was 10, dark nightmares terrify me. Blood-soaked visions haunt me – people screaming, and I'm killing every man who dares to come near. My anger rages out of control, and my dreams reveal the horrifying truth. I don't have control over my anger, which is totally catastrophic and uncontrollable, when at heights.
Exhaustion finally claimed me, and my heavy eyelids surrendered to sleep.
