"Scarlet its a pleasure to see you again" Alex the head of the council says.
"The pleasure is all mine" I say like I've taught to.
The wealthy must act a cretain way a perfect way.
"The time has come for you to serve your people." All of the council say at once.
I freeze at their words "you don't mean.."
They nod.Dammit.
In this twisted world of magic people, as history goes.
There was a rebillion against the crown and about most of the royals were killed.
The remaining royals and the council organized a plan, whenever a royal turns 18, they have to serve, the council finds a commoner and it's the royal's job to fix up their messed up life.
I happen to be royalty the duchess's daughter to be exact.
And it just happens to be my 18th birthday was 2 weeks ago.
I guess it's my time to serve.
My mama calls me over with a wave of her hand, glancing up I walk up to her.
She has a grim expression on her face.
"Ma what's wrong" I ask.
She smiles at me sadly "Cade, love the council knows."
I freeze I'm so surprised I know this was bound to happen sooner or later, but I'm still surprised.
In a hoarse voice I say "have them taken him away."
"No" my mama says "I begged with them and they let him stay but they're doing something to help you."
"What can they do" I ask.
"Their sending one of those royals to help you she is a girl about your age."
"The fuck" that's all I can say I may not know the royals but I hate them they killed my father if not for them I would be happy, I would have a father.
And not my abusive uncle who tortures my mom and me every day.
I can't even turn him in.
The only reason me and are not mama broke and starving is because of him.
I can escape him when I go to Earth but my mama she is stuck with him, every single day, one day I'll escape and I'll take my mother with me.
Sometimes I wonder if living in the streets would be better than living with him.
"Cade don't cuss honey" my mama says
Inside I am rolling my eyes but for the sake of my mama I say "Okay ma"
"Good boy" she says patting me like I am a little boy again, my mama doesn't deserve this life.
"Maybe this will be good for you"
I stare and anger fueling me say "like you actually believe that."
"Hon calm down" she says
"You want me to be calm did you forget that they killed your husband, my father"
Her face saddens, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories I hug her as she quietly sobs into my shirt
Wiping her tears she says "just promise me you won't be so rude to her"
"Fine I won't" I say slowly.
