rebel by choice

chapter 8

Two weeks have now passed since, I was not allowed outside, mother keeps wanting me to go back to princess training, but I keep avoiding to issue. things have somewhat return to normal, well somewhat. my brothers keep fighting over who is going to be the next king. which is a very new topic, normal they would all do their own thing. Thomas the eldest is usually down at the docks with the royal navel, he loves being on the water. Being the eldest mean he has more reasonability, so sailing is his only pass time. he sometimes acts as a 2nd mother to me, teaching me thing about our kingdom and how to a sailing and finding your way by following the stars.my second brother Matthew trains with the castles knights, so one day he can save a princess from a tower and have his happy ever after, gag. We sometime get into argument or fights, literally fist to fist or a sword flight. he is the one whom is teaching me how to flight and swordsmanship. If I was not the family leading rebel, he would take the position but right now he is in 2nd place. then they're my youngest brother Nicholas, he a bit of a bookworm. he loves to read and stay in the castle library, when he in the middle of a good book. he will hold up in the library and refuse to leave until he finishes the book, cover to cover. so, who are you going to make king? dad said Matthew. yeah dad whom said Thomas and Nicholas. boys leave your father be, the sun has barely come up. how about we eat breakfast before you boys, start harassing your father. yes, mother said the brothers. the table then got very quiet but not for long. your majesty! your majesty! I have terrible news shouted a maid as she ran into the dining room. she stopped short of my mother and father and started gasping for air, she began to say something, but no one could understand her. what? said the king. it ... it still gasping for air. then Guinevere enters the dining room and walks over to the maid and takes something form her hand. I think this Is the problem, she then holds up an envelope in the air. A letter! this is what your so upset about? said the queen. seriously? mother, it not the letter itself, but the sender said Guinevere, turning over the envelope to its front. She spoke the sender name, and everyone had mixes reactions. father and my sibling were happy, especially me, my mother was in pure shock and so was the staff knowing that the queen would have them cleaning the castle, day, and night until she arrived. final I spoke up with a grin on my face from ear to ear, grandmother coming! said roselle about to burst form happies. The duchess is coming whisper my mother in a scared voice. My grandmother was the only person to ever scared my mother so bad she was at lost for words. so, mother has final decide to return home said the king. yes, apparently said Guinevere. my grandmother is the best, she is awesome! my grandmother full name is duchess Martha Ann but to me she is grandmother. when my father and mother married, one day after they were married she left, disappear. leaving the running of the kingdom to her only son Richard, whom is my father. She left on around the world trip, she has been everywhere, every time she goes to a new place she sends me a letter and a small trinket form the journey. her journey was cut short, when my brother was born. She quickly returns to meet her first born grandchildren but doesn't stay long, even when father asked her to stay and take over the throne again. her exacted word was, you got this and promptly left the next day. grandmother only return home when she wants to, so if she is return now that mean she has something planed, we all wonder what was planning. we all then looked to the letter. Guinevere, read the letter!!! we all shout and once. she then open the letter and began to read aloud.

Dear my beloved family and Helena

I hope that this letter finds you well

I will be arriving in your kingdom, in three days' time.

Sincerely you're duchess Martha Ann

p.s. please make sure my room is somewhat clean, the last time I visited it was I bit dusts.

We all looked at mother steam coming out of her head, Claude! she shouted rusting out the door. a mad cleaning spree was about to happen. we all then began to eat our breakfast while listen to the sounds of mother barking orders at the staff. Let's the games began I thought and then smiled.
