Rose
The afternoon sun fell on my bare arms. This was the first time I had left the castle since my birthday, which was 4 months ago. My father said that the outside world is "too dangerous" and " the cowardice and impurity of the non royals will subdue me". He has so much hate for non royal families it almost makes me feel sorry for him. His high above everything nature makes him vain and wrath. That all I know him as, the vain wrath king always looking for more power. He stops at nothing to get Rainard The most powerful kingdom in Respuar. His selfish ways have caused this kingdom to be the poorest living kingdom with the wealthiest royals, this earned us the most "royal favoring kingdom" of all of Respuar.
I am shaken out of my deep realm of my thoughts by Jason
"Hello, anyone home in there" he says waving his hands in front of my face
"Yeah i'm fine i'm just thinking about my dad and the competition" i respond still somewhat in a daze
"Well i would be too if i had 6 hot boys coming and trying to win me over" he nudges me playfully
" ugh please don't remind me" i roll my eyes
"What do you not want a husband, just living by yourself in the middle of the woods with 87 cats" he trails off and looks at the sky
" i don't know what i want but i'm really sure that it isn't to be married to one of my dads lackeys sons"
" The invitation was sent out to anyone with power, so you could find this really hot really sexy guard, and I can marry one of the princes' ' he laughs and I join in.
Ever since the competition was announced the castle has been bustling with life, including the servants and guards offering to take me for walks around the castle. Just another attempt at getting me to fall in love with them. Although i have never crushed on anyone really, always thought that Jasons servant Victoria was kinda cute, in a platonic way of course. At least I think it was platonic. Enough of that, i shut the thought out of my head and just listen to the birds flapping over head, the leaves rustle and the serenity brings drowsiness into my consensus. I slip into a small slumber until the booming of the guards comes thought the hall.
"quick get down" Jason pulled me down under a bush of daisies
The clanking of the guards metallic armor rang trough the halls. As they passed you could hear one straggler, light footsteps and moved with haste, they almost sounded female. Thats when it hit me.
"Jason, run its Octavia" I jump up and start running hoping that she doesn't catch me. I get to the entrance and turn the corner... running full speed into Octavia.
"Woah there your majesty, it seems like you are running away from someone" Octavia looks up from the floor and steps a few feet back, out of respect. I always hated that.
" no i just -"
" you were in the garden, and you thought i was coming to bust you"
" yeah" i look down
" i was just coming out to sit, i go there to relax too. Its calming, reminds me of my home town." she glances down and starts to fiddle her hands
" you never really talk about your life before becoming a guard. What was it like in you home town?" i look straight into her eyes and take a few steps closer so we are almost touching. I look up at her, being like 3 inches shorter than her. She starts to step back but i grab her waist to keep her there. She shifts out but i hold my grip
" i don't really like to talk about it. I ran away when i was really little. I never wanted the life my parents had set out for me. "
"Me either" i say, our eyes still interlocked my hand heating at her touch. She breaks eye contact and slips out of my touch.
"Ill see you later, your Highness" she walks into the guardian leaving me and Jason in silence
" you wanna go your highness" he says mocking Octavia. He knows how much i hate being called your highness so he uses it at any chance he gets.
"Yeah, let's head to my corridor. We all know that Jordan is going to throw a fit, she said i had to be here to pick out dresses for the competition." i say and start walking. Jason follows behind me
"You both had some serous chemistry back there, do you think she is going to enter the competition? That has never happened before but i mean you are more of a leader than a follower."
"I really don't know, and if she does she still has to win"
" oh there is no shot those princes have agains her. She is super badass and can totally beat all of their royal hineys."
" Jason OMG! I thought you wanted one of their 'Royal hineys'" we laugh off the conversation but it sticks with me, what do i do if Octavia does enter the competition? I guess i'll just find out tomorrow.
