Sunshine

|4| Part 1

Monday

It was the week before Saint turned eighteen; the week before her coronation. Two months had passed. The fairies had swarmed the castle but they mainly stayed with their owner, the Sun Prince. Ever since Saint found out that Oliver left, the Solar kingdom slowly stopped shining.

The people of the kingdom got extremely worried, they could feel the blue atmosphere coming from the castle. Many people had their theories but none of them were true.

The king contacted the royals of the Lunar kingdom but they couldn't do anything as Oliver had gone missing the week after he left the note for Saint. Nobody knew where the heir of the Lunar throne was.

"Saint Olympia," Saint's father began.

Saint looked up and immediately knew something was wrong, her father rarely called her by her first two names.

"Oliver," He paused and looked down. He knew it was going to be even harder for Saint because of the emotional state that she was in.

"Oliver is missing." He looked at Saint, his eyes were drowning in sadness.

Saint stopped wearing her crown the day she threw it at the wall. It laid peacefully in the safe in the basement with all the royal jewels and treasures.

Saint had many regrets.

Tuesday

Oliver was in the room of the Crystal princess.

Skyler Violet was the princess of the Crystal Kingdom. She had purple hair and she had a golden crown with sapphire and ruby gems placed on her head. She even had a matching bracelet.

"You are an idiot for leaving her!" Skyler scolded Oliver.

She had a good point. The Lunar Kingdom and Solar Kingdom were unstable because of the two heirs. The moon cannot function without the sun, the sun cannot function without the moon.

"I know I am," Oliver sighed and rubbed his temples.

Skyler took out her phone and showed Oliver a picture.

Oliver had many regrets.

Wednesday

Saint went through her royal duties without a complain.

She started to accept everything.

Saint was in the fitting room choosing her coronation dress when her eyes landed on the most beautiful dress.

"This, this is the dress," she looked at her servant happily.

Saint took the elevator to the basement and had the guards open the safe. The safe had every single crown and treasure her ancestors had. She looked through the shelves of crowns and it sparked a flame in her.

The flame that was extinguished by the moon was back and it was burning as bright as ever.

Thursday

The people of the Solar kingdom woke up and felt the radiating happiness that came from the castle.

People left their houses and cheered, everyone felt rejuvenated. The people didn't know the reason behind the two months of sadness but they were happy that their kingdom was glowing again.

It was glowing more than it did in the past.

Saint woke up and not a single fairy could be found. She felt like a whole new person.

She learned a lot from her two months of tidal waves. She learnt that you should pay more attention to how people behaved towards you. She also learnt that letting go was the best way to ease the pain.

Friday

Oliver came back to the Lunar kingdom and once he opened the castle doors, his father was glaring at him angrily.

"I raised you better than this, Oliver," he shook his head and walked towards his only son.

Oliver received a hard slap on his face.

"You broke the Sun Prince," he had tears in his eyes.

The lunar king's past was clashing with the present. The promise he made many years ago was going to be broken if Oliver didn't get his act together.

Oliver's fairies were multiplying rapidly.

Saturday

The servants had finished their duties and the castle was ready for a coronation.

Saint Olympia was in her room reading a book her father gave her.

How to rule a kingdom for dummies

Saint thought it was hilarious, she didn't know that they had books like these. She was so excited her heart could burst.

She put down her book and stood on her balcony that had the view of the entire kingdom. She couldn't believe that she
will be ruling the Solar empire in less than forty eight hours.

+

Oliver was in his walk-in wardrobe and looked at the crown that was in front of him. He realised that he hasn't worn his crown since the day he left Saint.

What kind of royal am I to not wear my crown?

There was a knock on his door.

"My moonlight prince, you've been
invited to the...."

Oliver blocked out his servant's voice.

"You'll be leaving at 12pm, the king had a suit made for you to wear for tomorrow's occasion. It's to your left,"

Oliver looked at it and smiled, his father knew him so well.

Oliver excused his servant and continued on with his thoughts.
