"Mother please! This is going to be the biggest royal party ever! I'll be the laughing stock of the Royale High School if I don't go" I cry. She decided she wants to help the chefs bake dessert for the night so I took this as an opportunity to beg to attend this party.
"I'm sorry honey it's just too far away. We can't risk you being hurt and frankly, I don't think you're responsible enough to go on that kind of trip. The answer is no."
"Ugh" I slam my head on the counter. How does she not think I'm responsible enough? I took watch of the whole castle for 3 minutes last week, which is one minute more than I was supposed to!
"This isn't fair" I mumble.
"Time for dinner honey" my Mother lifted my head off of the table. We go ahead to the dining room and wait for dinner to be served. When the food finally was served my Father decided to start a conversation.
"So honey, have you started preparing for the trip?"
"What trip?" I asked
"Oh no, I totally forgot about that" My mother groaned. "I've been so busy trying to keep the village safe. Especially with that conundrum that happened a few months ago. When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow at noon" my Father answered, Completely ignoring me.
"What trip?" I Repeat.
"What? I haven't even packed yet, and what about the amulet?" My Mother answered.
"What trip!?" I shout
"No yelling at the dining table" My Mother scorns me.
"Well no ignoring me at the dinner table." I retort "What trip are you guys going on?"
"Our annual Royal Ball, Across country" My Father explains. "And honey I think we might have to take it with us" My Father answered my Mother.
"What?! We can't take the amulet. What about the safety of the village? If we take the amulet and the village is attacked while we're gone, what are you going to do?"
"Well who are we going to leave it with if we can't take it with us?" My Father questioned.
"You could leave it with me!" I piped in and my parents started laughing.
"What's so funny?!" I ask
"Honey it's not that we don't trust you, but no" My Father answered.
"Come on Father, Mother already thinks I'm not responsible enough, let me keep the amulet and show you both that I can be responsible" I offered.
"Absolutely not" My Mother rejected.
"Come on darling, She's going to be Queen one day we should at least give her a chance to prove herself worthy. What's the worst that could happen?" My Father defended.
"She could lose it and sweep the entire Kingdom into total oblivion" My Mother answered.
"While that is true... Everyone deserves an opportunity to prove themselves worthy, and if she messes this opportunity up, I will take full responsibility"
"Fine! She can watch the amulet, but the second the ball is finished we are leaving" My Mother gave in and I jump up to hug her.
"Yay! Thank you so much Mother" I peck her cheek.
"Yes yes now finish eating your dinner" she commanded.
Royal party here I come
I'm rudely awakened by the sound of guards outside of the castle. I look through my window to see what's occurring, and I see some guards bringing in what looks like a criminal. I put on my bedroom slippers and head downstairs to see what's going on.
"Hey Von, what's all this noise about?! You know I need my 10 full hours of beauty sleep!" I ask the Head of the guards.
"Sorry to disturb you Princess. The other guards found the prisoner who attacked you at the meet and greet. They took him to the dungeon" Von explains.
"Wonderful. I would like to speak with him." I smirk. Von escorts me to the dungeon where his cell is, then waits outside until I'm ready.
"Serves you right" I fold my arms looking at the prisoner. Tatti appears on my shoulder.
"What do you wa..." he stopped to examine Tatti in shock.
"What you've never seen a pixie before?" I ask.
"What are you people? No I've never seen one of those things before."
"Do not refer to my family as "You people" like we're some sort of villagers" I retort.
"You know, I've only known you for a few hours and I can already tell that you are, the most selfish, self-centered person on the planet and it's obvious you only care about yourself. Imagine what kind of Queen you'll be" he rolls his eyes.
"I like this guy" Tatti smiled.
"Go away Tatti" I swat her. "You know, I'm tired of your disobedience and rudeness. I could have you hanged for this." I glared.
"Having an opinion is being rude? Well if so have me hanged at once. I can't sit here another second looking boatload of self-obsession." He turned around so his back is facing me.
"Well then I guess this is goodbye" I roll my eyes and head towards the door.
"Good riddance"
I exit the dungeon so Von could escort me back to my room.
"I want him hanged in the morning" I tell Von.
"Any gibbet must be approved by the King" he explains.
"Then tell the King this prisoner is rude, uncivil, and refuses to comply with those of higher authority!" I yell.
"Yes Princess"
"I think I can escort myself to my room" I shoo him off.
"Someone finally has the guts to tell you how rude you are, and you have them hanged. Typical Kylie" Tatti reappeared on my shoulder.
"I thought I told you to go away" I swat her but she teleported to my other shoulder.
"I bet every single one of the villagers will move to another village when you become Queen."
"That's enough Tatti" I glare.
"No it's not enough! For 17 years I've been helping you and trying to teach you ethics that will ameliorate yourself, but it's obvious you would rather be the horrible person that you are! I mean you are hanging this innocent gentleman that YOU bumped into, just because he told you the exact kind of person you are?! I've been destined to many wizards in my lifetime. Over 500 and you are the first wizard that I hereby expel myself from. Good day Kylie" Tatti disappeared.
