Izzy's sitting on the garden bench, while I pretend to fan her. Tiny drops of water lay on the leaves of plants, and the sun starts making its way above the trees. "Beautiful morning, isn't it Clementine?"

"Yes, I suppose it is." She turns to me, and her eyes look over my face. Her eyes hide something, and I know she hasn't eaten in days.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

"I'm just... I'm about to be crowned Queen. That's a huge deal! I'm not ready for it. I'm responsible if things go wrong. What if I say the wrong thing, and our country gets all messed up in a war! I'm only twenty-five! How do the expect me to do this!"

"Just relax a bit. There will be advisors to help you, and I'll help you, too. You'll make it, I promise."

"I'm sorry I keep bothering you with this."

"It's fine, you don't bother me."

Author's Note

Hello, guys! So, this chapter is pretty short, I'm sorry. Either next chapter, or the one after that will be longer. I promise. (Kind of) So... yeah. Well, I hope you have a great day! Bye!
