I Am The Queen

She will not reign

"Oh Father, of course, I would not ever do a barbaric thing like that!" I say hiding my lie he looks at me then at his wife Lara probably deciding how to deal with this.

"You." She points to my father, "Do not believe her! There lies clouding the truth don't you see it darling?" my stepmother says sneering.

"Oh father, do you think that low of me?" I pity myself. He straightened his back riding his beard. He's getting nervous, he always does that when he's nervous.

"Oh Olivia, my darling, no of course not my princess, I think very highly of you, the highest," he commands me forward to whisper in my ear. "But my dear I know a lie when I see one."

I step back, I can't hide my smile, I thought I had him just this time.

"But father it is her fault." I giggle out and he sighs. Suddenly, there a knock on the chamber door, and soon it opens.

"Sir princess Olivia is needed for her SKT.," a guard says he nods but doesn't dismiss me I guess he's not done lecturing me.

"This is the last of this Olivia no more. You will be the queen one day and queens do not act like this." he nods his head dismissing me. I mumble under my breath, "Not before it kills me." but of course there has to be the queen input.

Larra stops short, "You are an ungrateful child." She looks from me to my father. "Darling she needs punishment, you always take her side." She makes a pitiful face. "I feel you don't love me anymore." she runs up to my father the king pleading at his side. I stiffen and walk out hearing the start of a roaring argue.

So I dismiss myself I can't take faking it all day.

But with my luck, I run right into a man. He quickly grabs my shoulders to keep me steady.

"Oh I'm sorry Mrs umm." he looks at me for an answer but I'm too stunned because everyone knows me as the 'Nasty Princess', Olivia the troublemaker', the messy queen to be queen.

I look up again at him taking another look he's actually pretty cute, he has soft firm hands, strong arms and a sharp jawline and the most irresistible eyes like a mix of the ocean and the sky so many varieties of blue.

"Um, my name is um." wait he doesn't know me this could be fun. I have to live up to the nasty rumors, don't I?

"Oh my name is Liv, um, Liv Rowan," I say he laughs

"Well Mrs. Rowan I am very sorry for running you over my dearest apologies." he pulls away bowing. For some reason I feel cold and want him close to me again it's like a deep pull that I can't get away from.

"As if this day couldn't get worse, I'm late to meet the king." he sighs. Why is he meeting the king? I look him over again he has fine clothes on, he must be rich, maybe even a general with my father's new fleet, but he has no sword?

"Why would you be meeting the king sir um" he didn't mention his name either.

"Oh, my name is Ivan the first in line.in the kingdom of westfield. I'm here to meet the king for a marriage proposal for princess Emily. Dear god, I'm very nervous people say she a monster in my kingdom." he laughs oh really so he's the prince?

"Well I guess you should go talk to my f- I mean the king." I turn to make a haste getaway so that my cover couldn't be blown by a nice maid saying hello or a guard asking if I'm in need of help so I leave and go to the main hall when I bump into my guard, Max I really need to pay attention.

"Princess that wasn't right, lying to your husband to be and you're late to your training." he laughs and thumps me on the head. I stiffen.

"Over my dead body, that two-timing goody two shoes will not be my husband not in a year and most definitely not in a million"
