The Peasants Crown

In order to obtain power & climb the high rankings of this kind of society, Autum must marry into the royal family and gain influence. And not just obtain a royal title, but the crown itself. And in order for her to gain the title of Queen, she must use the Heir of this kingdom, Climb the social latters and step upon his back on the way to her heirarchy. The greed of power built into her very core.

Reluctant to marry just anyone, Prince Osiya runs away from the protective walls of the palace and into the crowds of the lower class, pent on starting a new life. Just a few days into his new life, Osiya falls in love with a beautiful girl, but something sinister lurks behind the women's facade.

When Autum finds out of Osiyas escape, she plays the fool and pretends her weeps of acts, begging the royals to help find him, he must be lost somewhere, poor prince. And helps to search for Osiya.

On the journey of trying to find Osiya, Osiyas guard, Zack keeps Autum company. His doubt,dislike, and disapproval in plain sight. He holds his head high above her.

On the way there, they spend some nights traveling and they get closer to each other, one day he asks her,

"why do you crave power so much, Autum?"

Autum smiled at Zack like he was an idiot.

"Look at those people down there Zacky"

Autum hand out and did a ta-da motion with it like she was showing something amazing, but instead of something amazing, behind her hand where the view was slightly blocked, down below them, the peasants and homeless were on their knees, begging for coins and food. Dozens of them crowding the streets near the gates of the palace, eyes sparkling whenever a royal or even a worker who worked for the royal came out of those gates.

"i bet whenever you came out, u ignored the needy. Autum smiled evilly. "I came to this kingdom before" Autum looked at Zack for a reaction

He cocked her eyebrow slightly "oh?"

" It was a strange sight. The heir was going out, but something was off." Autum acted out a confused face. "All of the sudden, these begging peasants didn't exist. Osiya waved and grinned like the fool he is. He knows nothing of the kingdom he will one day rule. His ignorance disgust me. Is it so bad to think someone would better fit the title than i?" Autum green eyes gleamed.

Zack scoffed, "oh. So that is why you want the kingdom so badly? to have the crown upon your head. Because you pity the poor, because you would do so much better for the people."

"I don't live in a fantasy, unlike you and your beloved prince" Autum spit out like it was poison " I live in reality. Reality that not all days are rainbows and sunshine, where the worst day of my life is when my horseback riding lessons with the emperor are cancelled because he was sick." Autum mocked zack "I know what is best for the peasants. I know what the poor needs. I know best of all, compared to any of you living your life behind that glittered wall." Zack was opening his mouth to speak, but Autum quickly cut him off. "And you know why i know best?" Autum laughed hysterically, madly, her breath coming in quick puffs.

"I lived those peasants lives. I walked those poor peoples steps. I KNOW what it feels like to BEG in front of those...gates.." Autum voice broke. She cleared her throat and continued. "if i don't deserve that crown, then no one does."

Zack was honestly speechless, he didn't know what to say, so he stayed silent as he watched the beggings, down from the balcony they were on. He couldn't exactly face Autum, guilt setting in his core, knowing and reflecting that he had done things wrong.

"You see right" Autum chuckled "I deserve the crown, to be royal and in control. I can have it all. I can help everyone and have the mighties beneath my feet."
