Princess and I

4: Here We Go, Again

"Are you ready to visit your town?" Sydney asked.

"Sydney, I don't feel well today. Can you do it for me?" I pleaded.

"I would but do me a favour? Please lose some weight. 130 labs of fat ass," She laughed. Sydney is so annoying.

"Wow. I'm really impressed that you know my weight. But that's pounds dumb ass, not labs. And are you that insecure that you know everyone's weight," Everyone was laughing.

"Speaking of not doing your duties, Haikas is going on a pursuit for three months. Two of you will have to handle his towns. The schedule will be delivered soon," my father interjected.

I went to my room and sat beside the window. I love the view from here, you can see everything that happens in this kingdom; the new structures, more houses, more people and the sea is beyond gorgeous. The farming community is so green and alive. The mine town ... you would expect that its covered with black dust because of the coal but its not, its bright and elegant.

In a few weeks later, it would be my turn to visit three towns, which we rarely do.

"Sekinah, its your turn to swing by Haikas' town. Smile always or they'll think that you're ugly like your sister over here," Haidus teased and pointed at Shaidy.

"No wonder why you're ugly too. I mean your twins right, if she's ugly, then you are too," I reasoned.

"Such a smart sister," Shaidy said as she walked away laughing.

"Enough with your nonsense talks, your mom and I are physically dazzling - it is only logical that all of you are too. So go out now or you're all going to catch the dark. Specially you, little Princess, you need to visit three towns," my father interjected.

"Yes, father" we all said.

As usual, we stood up and went to the stables. I have three horses and Nika is my favourite. She's fast and stunning. Her body is covered with chestnut hair and white three huge spotting all around her.

I rode her to the towns. There was nothing new in my towns, which is good in a way that the economics isn't declining. I don't even know why we need to visit our town. It's the same every week. The truth is, Coala doesn't even like me. They assumed that I'm wicked just because of a single accident. One day, I bought a pile of gems in order for my town to earn money. It's not practical or intellectual to do so but I did. Anyhow, I, on the other hand, accidentally, picked up an extra gem and they thought that I was stealing from my own town and corrupting them. So, one pointed at me and said that I'm a thief. I dont know why would they call me that even though Im a Princess and I have everything I need and have every right to this place. But because the King is so virtuous, we weren't thought to think like that.

So, I just rode my horse and went straight to my room and cried the whole. It was embarrassing for me and everyone in my family. And so, my father learned what happened and he cut off their supply of food for a week days as a punishment of being injustice. That's why they are not that fond of me. I never told my father but they still snarl at my presence. It helped me grow though, I ought to be independent and I want to gain back their trust and fulfill my duty as a Princess. But seriously, I don't even know why I chose this town.

I went to Haikas' town. The town of the rich, educated people. Most of my father's friends live here. Here is where the most respected families are, after the royals and nobles. But, I never had a friend here. This got me thinking, why do we need to visit this town? Its obvious that intelligent people can handle their own businesses.

"Hi, Princess Sekinah," a girl from behind tugged my cape and said.

I was shocked and Nika got scared with my reaction; she accidentally kicked the girl behind me. I went down and helped the kid stand.
