Meet Princess Ericka of the Kingdom of Herdell
After the visitors went home, and lucky to me I didnt end up being their "entertainer" because dad and the king had some serious discussion and I am not so badly needed and the same goes for mom and Queen Sarah, Im already in my room fixing my things for school tomorrow. Although I can skip school because Im a royalty. Maybe I can use that as an immunity to not go to school. And I am so blessed if my dad allows it.
One hour, thats what it took for me to finish that stupid school things and Im down in my fluffy bed.
Knock! Knock!
I looked at the door, with my hands and elbows supporting me, and shouted a "come in" before the door opened with my brother entering my room.
"What's up?" I asked while sitting properly and patted the space on the edge of my dearly bed, motioning for him to sit down.
My brother, James Ivan Cortez, is the prince of this huge kingdom. He's 18 years old and already graduating after this coming school year. He excel in all of his classes and he is the strongest prince in The Great Kingdoms.
The Great Kingdoms is like the continent of kingdoms. Its composed of 37 kingdoms and obviously ours is the biggest and the most powerful. But not all of the people knew about me because I dont go outside the palace and I dont go to royal parties. And also about my past? Not all knows about it. Not even 10% of the population knows about it.
Im quite the opposite of my brother, he has social life while I dont. He has a girlfriend and me, I never had although Im only fifteen years old.
She has a girlfriend, also from a royal family. Her name is Meredith Rose Foxx, the only daughter and the first child. She and my brother met at the Royal School, where all princes and princesses with the ones to become lady royals, royal supporters and high-ranked royal guards study from preschool until college.
The Lady Royals are the females who will become royal assistants, advisers and employees of the Royal School and schools which are highly ranked from the others. They can also manage some of the businesses of the palace.
The Royal Supporters are the males whose work is the same with the Lady Royals. And High-ranked Royals Guards are the helpers of the king and prince in holding and managing the trainings of the guards and keeps the defense of the palace.
"How are you?" He asked while taking my offer to him to sit down. I just shrugged and lay back down on the bed. There's a deafening silence between the two of us and I know neither of us will speak soon.
After a minute of silence, he begun to apologize.
"Fine. Im sorry, okay? I didnt mean to leave you with those visitors. I just have to go and see Meredith." He said, although I am not that sad that he left me. I pouted my lips and pulled a face.
"As if she's been thrown in the sea of sharks like me." I mumbled hoping he hadnt heard it. Its not like I hate her, but my brother? Expect him to leave you when there are visitors.
"She's sick, okay? And I doubt she can come tomorrow." That's it! I stopped my face and changed it to a worried one and almost jumped in my bed when I heard those words.
"What?! Why didnt you tell me she's sick? I should've asked Linda to cook some chicken soup or bake my most delicious carrot cakes. You know she love those, maybe they can help." I said all too fast that I dont even know if he understand it. But Im sure he does.
"Well, you can do it tomorrow. But Im not sure you can do it. Its first day, remember?" He said and I almost hated myself for being a selfish bitch to my brother and especially Meredith. How inconsiderate of me!
"So, how is she?" I know Im a crazy freak by just looking the way I rambled my words. "Can I visit her after school tomorrow? Can you drive me there? Cant I just skip school so I can bake my lovely carrot cake and give it to her?"
"Stop Ericka Catygrace Cortez. You're such a freak." James said while trying not to laugh. And he let a small chuckle and I gave him a glare. "Can you blame me? My fucking future sister in law is sick that my oh-so-caring bitch of a brother is so worried to her that he even got to ditch the visitors this morning to check on my future sister in law!" I exclaimed and this time he laughed. Like literally laughed like a lion killed his enemy. Wtf?!
"You are such a freak my dear sister. She is going to be fine by tomorrow and thats according to her doctor." He said, finally. I can keep myself calm. "So how are those visitors?"
"Their here to give me the most fucked up news. And I hate dad for doing it! It's fine for him of me marrying someone I dont even know, might as well his name!" This time Im about to scream in frustration and anger.
How can dad do this without asking me if I wanted it? And most of all Im still 15 years old and a woman here in this kingdom can marry when she turns 25. I still have a decade to explore everything.
"Wait? Did I just hear 'marrying'?" Yup big brother, you got that right. "And dad just agrees with this? Without your consent?" He asks again.
"Yes to all of your questions. And... I cant. I cant just agree to marry that prince. I dont know him or his face or his attitude or his name and everything about him. I dont even have feelings for him." I exclaimed and I know Im about to cry because my visions are getting blurry.
"Sshh. Dont cry. I'll talk to him tomorrow. I'll try to convince him about that matter. And now you have to come down because dinner is almost ready."
"Just go first. I'll just fix myself." And with that, he walked out of my room.
I stand up and head to my vanity and stared at the young girl in front of me. She's so young for everything that is happening. She is fragile.
By the way, Im Princess Ericka Catygrace Cortez. I love reading good books and I even write a diary. No one knows and I want it to be that way.
I reach for my hairbrush and started to brush my wavy brown hair that reached my waist. I got it from my parents but mom recently dyed her hair to almost gold. My eyes is in the shade of purple and my skin is the perfect tan all girls want it to be.
I want to travel the whole world. But dad and mom and James dont know it. And I dont know if they want me to do it.
