Chapter 12: Duties

Luna's POV

"WAKE UP PRINCESS LUNA!!" My eyes shot open when I heard screaming and banging in my door.

"CHANCE!? WHAT THE H*LL!? WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP THIS EARLY!?" I shouted as I rubbed my eyes groaning.

"ITS 8 IN THE MORNING MY MOON SO YOU BETTER GET OUT OF BED BEFORE BREAKFAST GETS COLD!" He shouted as I hear the footsteps faint outside my door. I groaned and rubbed my face and lazily slip out of bed. I went to the bathroom and do my morning routine. Once I finish I went to my closet and change into a kinda 'princess gown but it's comfortable to wear in the house' sort of thing. I don't know it's just a light dress up to my knee, I wore my crown from the dresser, mom said I should wear it everyday 'cause princesses should do it instead of prince's I don't know why but that's what she said. I walk out of my room and run slightly to the dinning room. When I got there I saw them all, eating and staring at me like I'm a weirdo. I sat down beside Chance.

Sitting arrangement:

DAD
BRO T MOM
A
ME B
L
E

We ate breakfast peacefully. Once we're finish we wiped our mouth.

"So Luna, ready for your first day as a princess?" Dad asked and they all looked at me.

"Yup I'm so ready." I said and nodded.

"Well then fulfill your duty." Dad said....

"Wait what duty?" I asked and all of them chuckled.

"Well at a prince or princesses first day as crowned we have to fulfill our duty, kinda like completing a mission but in a more royal way." Chance explained.

"Your brother is so impatient he finished all his duties half a day." Mom said I giggled.

"Really? What's my duty then?" I asked feeling enthusiastic.

"Well Princess Luna, you are invited to listen or perhaps observe a kindergarten school, visit the plantation and the people working in it, have a meeting with the Grand Council, visit the harbors, talk to our trading partners, which is the kingdom of Pyr. You will be meeting the trading partners first then they will accompany you throughout the day." My eyes widened when I heard the Royal Butler said the last words.

"So that means-?" I gasped.

"Yes Luna, Bryan is gonna be there with you." Mom continued, my enthusiasm crashed and broke into pieces.

"Why does he have to go?" I asked, pain, anger and hatred clouded my mind.

"Well he's in charge of the trading, he is the prince of Pyr after all." Mom shrugged.

"Mom you can't just say that easily! MOM HE HATES ME AND HE HURTED ME." I emphasized my words, my eyebrows joining because of anger.

"Luna calm down, one day you will realize that hatred won't last forever and the pain will heal in time." Dad said to me like it's the easiest thing to do.

"My Moon, ikaw na ang nagsabi saakin na acceptance ang kailangan ko para magkasundo ulit kami ni Ethan, and you we're right, just accept this like I did." My twin said.

"I know Chancy pero, I know the reason why he is acting like that, it's hard for him and it's hard for me too." I sighed remembering the night at the balcony.

"Then use that reason to calm him, to soften his heart, Luna always remember: The ice won't melt by itself." I sighed and played with my fork. The ice won't melt by itself? What does that mean? Do I have to melt him? Well that seems wrong, even if I hate him I can't kill him. I'm so confused!
