Royal blood

4. Jake and Alex.

I got up early. i had no lessons today and queen emillia promised me to let prince alex show me more around the kingdom...or take me for a walk or something.. and i can be a bit more....FREE...

i wore a casual dress and headed out to queen emillia. she shook her head at my clothes. i looked down and found a big rip on the end of the dress.

i returned back to my room and wore my pair of jeans and a dark red top. i tied my hair in a high ponytail and went out of the room

"thats good" queen emillia said and i nodded. she was speaking to alex who was ready to go.

"-dont let your eyes off her, keep her safe." she said and i rolled my eyes.

"okay, what about him, pleaseee" he begged. i didnt know who is 'him' but i kept my mouth shut.

we went out of the castle and i gasped. the garden infront of the castle was awesome. for some time i felt that i was locked in my room all those days.

we rode our horses and we started the trip.

i was living in a large jail of boredom and pain before i come to the castle.

"queen emillia agreed that we can take jake!" he said in joy as we started moving.... i nodded...

"whose jake?" i asked.

"a friend of mine." he said and i nodded once again.

my phone rang and alex looked at it with a silly look on his face.

"thats a very old type. tell queen emillia to buy you a new one." he said and stuck his tongue out at me. i let out my tongue at him back and we burst laughing.

i forgot that my phone is sill ringing. i answered.

"hello?" i said.

"yep dustie, clean the staircase" said the person on the line, then gave a laugh. i didnt recognise the voice but i kind of remembered these words.

"um... who is it" i asked with a frown and alex gave me a whats happening- sign with his hand. i shushed him and concentrated in my call.

"dont you remember your adoptive sister?" said violet and i growled.

"Violet! how could you?! im the princess you idiot!" i shouted at the phone.

"ha! i know but i still know you are the maid, rose, who cleans our rooms." she said and i hung up.

i dumped the phine in my jeans pocket and inhaled and exhaled slowly to let my anger meter down.

alex looked at me in his funny confused look.

i gave a nervous laugh.

"who was it?" he asked turning serious and stopping his tracks whith his horse.

"umm... a prank call" i said hiding that it was violet.

i didnt tell anyone that i was treated badly. i didnt want to show them that i was weak in old days. ill just pass it on quietly

"a prank call?!" said alex wide eyed.

i nodded.

"prank call a princess?! is that person crazy?! he should be punished!" he said and i shook my head. he calmed down and sighed.

we arrived at a beautiful house. alex went forward and knocked the door.

a kind-looking boy in me and alex's age opened. he greeted us with a wide smile.

"hello jake" said Alex giving jake a hard strong, painful one-arm hug. i guess they were close friends.

"hi" i said in a quick wave.
