"Cleo. Princess Cleopatra" I was disturbed by Carrion my personal servant. I was Cleopatra princess of Egypt, protector of the Egypt empire and daughter of Ptolemy XII Auletes. Well his favourite daughter any way. I had two siblings to share the throne: with but I knew as soon as my father died my younger brother Amphenopis would get the throne. It was tradition the boy in the family would inherent the throne or any one close enough to the family. Just to keep the legacy alive I would be married off to some old geezer or the old geezer could even marry two of us. Me and my little sister Amunet like we were toys.
"Yes" disturbed from the sleep I so well needed, I shouted back.
"You are needed by your father" Carrion explained, I kept a puzzled look"about your suitors.I dreaded this day so much I had to choose the Man that would help me continue my legacy and family throne, some one who has royalty in their blood
"Oh today's the day"
Don't look so traumatised about it, it happens to everybody"
"Everybody but men. women are treated so unequally to men. it's a shame because men these days are disgusting creatures" I murmured
"There you go again with your equality rubbish, be careful your father does not hear you or else you will get a right smack in the face" he tutted "Now get up and get dressed!!"
"Urgh fine but I choose what I wear, the more revolting I look to them no one will want me ." I chirped
"You Might want to wear something eye catching and beautiful. I heard the Prince of Greece is coming. Prince Alexandras of the Adonis family"
"Why does every one worship the ground he walks on, I've heard the rumours he is nothing but spoilt brat" I said while getting ready
"It may be true but he is a spoilt brat who can fight"
"It sounds like you have a crush on him Carrion. You interested in guys now,hmm not sure how your wife will take that" I bantered
"I am interested with him surely for the fact that my daughter brought him up at dinner last night and how she would to feel happy being his queen. And that's what you should be doing, enough of the chit chat are you ready"
"Yes Carrion" I said while twirling
" You ignored your previous plan of disgusting the men out" he pointed out
"Well I have a reputation to uphold, princess if Egypt should not look like a commoner." I retorted
"Mmm are you sure it has nothing to do with Alexandras"he quipped
"No Carrion only my reputation" he held my hand and we walked out my room
