(Hailee) Alex's P.O.V.
That day I go to school as usual and have my usual daily routines. I went to school, play with Alex, and went back home. But suddenly when it's dinner time, my parents told me that we're going back to London. Which is the city where I born and live until I was 8.
At the age of 8, my family move here to Louisville. My parents thought that it's better to live in a small city. We look for a good neighborhood and area to live. While we're searching for a place, we're really interested with Louisville and there's a house that sold in an affordable price.
That affordable house is beside Alex's. I remember he always peeking on me secretly. Then his mom will shout "Alexxx!" to come and help her. So I literally know his name accidentally. I still remember how cute he is when he realized that I know he's peeking on me.
Until one day he gave me my family's mail that are accidentally delivered to his house. He try to find out my name. I only answered "The same like yours." Then there he goes, his face really shocked that we both have the same name. So I closed the door and let him shocked in front of my front door. All I can do is giggle seeing his shocked face.
Accidentally, we are in the same class in the same school because there's not much school here. It's kind of awkward at the first time but we become friends by time. We have so many memories together. When we're in London, candy store, parks, and many more that are countless.
I was quite shocked that my parents said that we need to move back to London. Because all of this happen in a sudden. I already fall in love with this city and this neighborhood. But nothing that I can do because I'm just a fifth grader. So I start to pack all of my things and so do my parents. We leave literally in midnight, so the Smith could not know that we're going to move out.
We arrive in London in the morning and my uncle Frank pick us up and take us back to our old house. My house in London is much smaller than the one in Louisville. But it's located near the downtown area and it's much more busy and crowded rather than Louisville.
The wild grass start to grow in my small backyard. Here I am in the same old scenery. I went to my old room and see that all of my furnitures are covered in dust. My mom asked me to vacuum the dust in my room and clean up my room. It takes me straight 5 hours to clean all of it and I feel really exhausted.
I feel really bad for months because I don't have time to told Alex that we're moving out so did my parents. We literally don't say goodbye to them. If I can turn back time, all I want to do is say goodbye to them before I leave.
For weeks I have my normal life in London. Until one day aunt Sue come to my house. I remember that she sat on the couch in my living room talking to my parents. I'm literally curious about what they're talking about, so I try to ear peeking. She said that I'm the princess of the kingdom in England. I literally shocked and I shout "What?" that make them realize that I hear all of their conversation.
Aunt Sue told my parents to give us a moment to talk. She told me that all this time, both of my parents keep it as a secret about all of the royalty family. My mom was actually also the princess of the kingdom but she got married with my dad so she had to leave the kingdom. She takes all the risks because she loves my dad. Now, I become the princess of the kingdom because my grandmother is getting older and she wants me to take her position later in the future.
It takes a long time for me to understood about all of these stuffs. All of the reason how my parents wants to leave far away from London is now make sense. Because they want me to become an ordinary person who has a normal life.
My parents and I move to the castle a few days later. I was trained to act like a real princess just like in a movie. Starting from manners about eating, dancing in the ball, how I dress which are far from what I usually studied about. Usually, I just study about math, science, and stuffs like that. It was hard for me.
One year passed and aunt Sue told me to change my name. She thinks Alex is a name that doesn't suits me. "Ariane" is the name she told me to change to. There's nothing I can do about it, she will not hear my opinion if I don't want to change my name. So, I directly agree with her about changing my name. It took me months to get me used to be called "Ariane".
Still feel bad about Alex, I try to clear up about it by writing a letter. I told him that my family are alright and we're in London now. But aunt Sue didn't like what I wrote and she rewrite the letter about the death of my family.
She wants that the Smith forgot about my family and she doesn't want that the secret about my family are royalties to be known by them. My parents do thought the same, so we sent that letter to them using aunt Sue's name. That's the end of my family's relationship with the Smith. We never met again since then.
