Chapter 1

"Mom do you mind?" - I asked annoyed because my mom was disturbing me more than the usual I might add.

"Oh come on Sofi! Just choose the white one or the beige?" - She asked holding up a dress in each hand.

"The beige sure" - I responded turning back to my books.

"Yeah I thought the same! " - she replied. "And what are you wearing? No way you will be going to dinner on those jeans!" She said demanding.

"That's because I'm not going to dinner."

"What! But you know how this is impo.. " - I cut her off and started talking.

"Yes I know how that's important for the palace and it's people and it's their thing , I on the other hand have to focus on my studies because I want to be someone in life mom! Can I just have some peace? You know I don't want to stay here forever" -I said a little angry. -"I just want a different life.." -I said looking at the floor a bit guilty.

I couldn't even face my mom, I knew tears were already at the verge of falling from her eyes. Every time we have this conversation it was all the same. I feel guilty because I know she has done all she could for me and I know she can't let go of me and thats what has kept me here until now. But one day I'd have to let go..

"I just wanted you to be part of such a special moment." - She said sad.

"I know Ma, I just have finals this week and I really need to concentrate, I won't be able to attend anything as long as I'm not finished but I promise you after that I will try my best to go." -I replied more calmly.

"Really?" -She asked excited again.

and I just nodded with my head.

"Okay I won't bother you but I don't know if I will be checking on you regularly, you know I have a lot of work to do so don't forget to eat and sleep, because those are very important things." She said giving me a kiss on the cheek and leaving while I just chucked to the fact that she still treated me like and eight years old.

I'm not usually like this. I'm just really stressed with the finals. I didn't have much choice but to attend university online. Yes the palace provides education and presencial classes but until one point because than it's just about how to be a king or queen. Which I'll never be, so it wasn't something for me. I wanted to do more, i wanted to be more, so I joined one of the best online universities. Hamilton Hase University. At first my mom didn't like the idea, but then she started accepting it. She wanted me to follow in her footsteps, don't get me wrong I just couldn't be stuck here my whole life.

When I was small my dad passed away, one of my hardest moments and for my mom as well. We weren't well financially so the queen -who when younger was my moms best friend  - gave her a job and treated us like her own family. We live in the palace since than, Im really grateful to the King and Queen but I just wanted something different. I felt out of place even though I lived here my whole life. It's not because they treat us differently, we sleep on the same floor as them, we dine with them, we get the same treatment as royals but sometimes I just wanted to be normal.

Nicholas was their first born. A year older than me and my best friend. He has always been there for me. Then came Zayn, my favorite. Now 7 years old. After Gaia's coming he stopped being the center of attention. Everything was focused on the future king and the baby girl but even though small he did try not to show, but I couldn't not see it. Gaia, the baby girl who is now 5 years old has everyones hearts, even mine. I love all of them and I even consider them as my own brothers.

Turning my focus on the books again and without realizing I was already asleep.

The next morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm, 7:30. Had my usual quick bath and turned into some sporty clothes and went out for a quick run outside.

Breakfast is usually at 8:30 in the palace, im not really in the best moods in the morning so I tend to skip them a lot but since I started running some days a week I get really hungry so I probably join them or eat something on my own time at the kitchen.

Yesterday came members of the sixth element foundation so today I woke up specially late because I can't stand having breakfast with a bunch of people I don't know talking about politics.

The Sixth Element Foundation is the group of 6 powerful countries that consists of United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland. They work in ways to help each other grow and benefit the countries through various types of charitable events and other project.

Six months ago they started a project of constructing a big indoor plantation for the special vegetables only acquired in certain countries of the Sixth. Those vegetables are really rich in nutrients and a small portion goes a long way, this could help minimize the homeless because they will be able to have the vegetables for free and with some resources get some education and start working.

Thats why the palace has been flooded with people, important people, workers, supervisors and more. It will probably be a few days or a week and all will calm down soon.I love the idea of the project, I just hope they can put it into practice.

Finished my morning run and went straight to the kitchen quarters. I entered the kitchen and workers were roaming all over the place it was kind of funny how they tried not to bump on each other at a so large kitchen. Everyone seemed busy preparing the foods, appetizers.

"Good morning Chef Antoine" - I greeted the french Chef.

"Uh good morning madame, would you like your usual? " - he asked with a cheerful smile.

Even though he was busy he still couldn't refuse to make me breakfast, he just loves to cook and you can see it right through him.

"No thank you, I will take care of it." I replied.

"You sure?" He questioned.

"Very sure." I said already grabbing some orange juice from the refrigerator.

I heated some bread on the toaster and after being satisfied, I start to head back to my room when suddenly something hit my left leg, and as soon as I realized what it was, I dropped to the floor.
