Royal blood

11. aunt selestia. duh.

I sat on my bed, I just woke up. I glanced at my calendar.

Sunday... Oh..... Today my aunt is coming for a visit. I got up, I was so excited.

I entered the bathroom attached to my bedroom to take a quick shower; I wore my purple dress, and started putting on my makeup. I braided my hair a French braid and opened the door and went out of my room.

Alex was here, he was wearing a simple blue t-shirt and loose pair of trousers. "Good morning Alex!" I greeted perkily.

He nodded wearing a bored expression on his face. "Why so dull today? Your mother is coming!" I said.

"Yeah, that's the problem idiot!" I looked at him incredulously.

Why is he so rude?!

"What is wrong Alex?!" I demanded, wearing an angry but calm expression.

"My mother is so selfish so people think I'm selfish too, especially queen Emilia. So whenever my mom comes to visit this kingdom, people keep cursing me" he explained.

"BUT YOU ARE ALREADY SELFISH, AND GREEDY!" I shouted waving my hands frantically in the air.

"And how is that 'miss-I-am-so-royal'?!" he shouted back. I raised my eyebrows at the name.

We always fight!

"You are so mean to me just because you want the throne, Alex!" I screamed.

He was speechless. It was true. He really wants this throne.

Ding dong...

The door bell rang. I shot Alex a death glare and plastered a fake smile on my face.

He rolled his eyes and did the same. Aunt Selestia entered, handing her bags to the guards and greeting Queen Emilia with open arms for a hug.

"Oh my! Long time no sees!" squealed aunt selestia.

"Yeah... right" said Queen Emilia with a forced smile, once she told me that she doesn't like my aunt that much because she was selfish and greedy.

Just like her son...

"Oh! And I guess this is our future queen, rozzet, right?" she said with an obviously forced smile... she pinched my cheek and I couldn't feel it.

Poor cheek...

"Yeah... it's actually Rosetta... it's nice to meet you" I said.

"Yeah and my lovely son, the handsome little guy" she said. "Which is so fit for being a king" she added quietly only for me to hear.

I looked at her with an eyebrow raised. She gave me an innocent smile.

I thought she would be nice...

"Umm... come darling selestia, let's sit and drink tea," Said queen Emilia.

"Alex, Rosetta, you can go upstairs to talk or do something." Said Queen Emilia.

We both climbed the stairs; I could feel my aunt's glare on me.

We went up to my room. I sat on my bed and Alex sat on the floor beside me.

"You just don't understand!" exclaimed Alex.

"What don't I understand?!"

"The... The actual reason, that I'm treating you this way... You will never keep it shut. You will announce it" he said sadly.

"Alex. I want to know. I promise I won't tell anyone" I pressed.

Alex sighed then turned to face me and then rolled his eyes. "Look, my mother, honestly, is a little selfish and greedy. She was expecting me to be the king. But when you came, she got so angry and made me promise her that I won't treat you kindly. I had to promise her. I have to be honest and actually tell you that I was jealous a bit from the beginning-"
