I look at them and thought to myself, "I have never dreamed of such a perfect life." I haven't even complained about anything yet, that's for sure. I wish it can stay like this forever.
I am the 8th child, the last and the youngest Princess. I live under the throne of King Hikiah, my father. I still need to treat him with great respect, even though as his child, I've already seen him doing the most craziest things just to make me laugh. There are times that he becomes a jongleur rather than a King. But the similarity is, both has to lift other peoples sorrow in a way they were destined for. And how I am also fated to carry the future of our people.
Our kingdom is peaceful as it is every day. The bells would ring in the morning - a cue that people must eat at the same time as the royals. My father and mother truly cares about the people in our kingdom, and have pledge not to let anyone starve.
My mother, Queen Syden, sits beside my father. Unlike most of the kingdoms, we sit wherever we want to sit, on this huge dining table at the dais. Our Great Hall is enormously huge since a lot of royalties and nobles come here to visit. Also, I have siblings that would throw balls just to show off or find their never ending true love. Their "once upon a time" - how absurd.
Back to the table, even though its gigantic, we dont sit far from each other. My parents have a unique way of thinking, our table has two chairs on its ends, so they both sat beside each other - a sign of equality.
On the left side, I have my oldest brother who will soon take over the kingdom, Prince Haikas. The 2nd oldest is, Princess Shana; an elite archer, the best in the whole continent, even the world. Robin wouldnt stand a chance against her. The 3rd child is Princess Sydney; she's really shy but once you get close to her and know her really well.... all you would ever hear are perverted jokes. The 4th child is Prince Harry, she's really gay. Yes, I said she.
On the right side of the table is, the 5th child, Prince Hadas. He's a great craftsman. That's his hobby. He built his own room, and it is something you cant afford to buy or even to look at. The 6th child is Princess Shaidy; the outgoing and tantalizing daughter. At the age of 19, she already had 21 suitors from different kingdoms and nations. I guess, attractiveness runs in our family but it got cut out when the 8th child came out. The 7th child is Prince Haidus, well you can consider him as the 6th too, since Shaidy and Haidus are twins. Same distinguishing personalities - a bit creepy, but I can announce that he's the most good looking out of all my brothers.
They are all special in their own ways and so I look up to them - how they manage their lives, and how our people treat them with such great respect.
Lastly, there was I, the 17 year old unattractive Princess. My mom can't bare any children anymore because she's too old. Oh I forgot, she hates being called old... So for sure I am the last one. I have black-brown eye color on my right eye and bloodshot pupil on the other. It was peculiar at first then I began to wonder if there was something wrong with me. But just like what my father said "magic runs in our blood. You're a wizard." My father had explained the basics to me and thought me how to keep it in control. He must have been ashamed of me, a little witch in his family... Telling me that Im a wizard when Im a witch. Lucky enough, my father understands what Im going through. He thought me a spell on how to change me eye color.
"Motheeer! piece of crap!" Harry stood up and yelled.
"Im sorry Prince Harry, I didnt mean to... The glass slipped- its just water," says Prince Harry's maid.
"Did you just said crap? You know how I feel about that while we're eating Harry," You could hear how uninterested my mother was in her tone.
"Mother, I'm very sorry about the "poo" that I said. At least I said it in a really cute tone. As for you," she looked at her maid and continued, "I would forgive you if you start to address me as Princess Hannah"
And everyone stared at him and bursted into laughters. As usual, Harry is still insisting on calling her "Princess Hannah." If only he could look at himself seriously in the mirror and see how unfitting it was for him.
"Harry, with that muscular face and body of yours. Nothing about you will be adorable." Shana said in a bored tone.
"Shana, its her moment. Just give her a second," Hadas interjected.
Shana replied, "oh look at the time, his second is over."
"Stuff some bananas in his mouth, that would be funny," Sydney suggested.
Haidus and Shaidy were dying because telepathy, who knows what they were thinking.
My father was laughing too but he got serious and said, "And we called ourselves Royals." He said in a frustrated voice.
My mother kissed his cheek, "We may be royals, but were still a happy family."
I am blessed for I have the perfect family.
Everyone got out of their sits and as it is a Sunday, everyone in our family went out of the castle and visited different parts of the kingdom. Everyone is assigned to different towns - to check on how the people of Nazaki is doing. There are 12 towns in Nazaki and each of them is different from the other. I have to visit two towns today as I am given less responsibilities. I went to Coala first, their specialty is mining and making coals. Then I went to Searatt, where the sea surrounds the land and fishes are the most abundant.
