Distractions

I know. I should have used this perfect opportunity to write my All Maudra doing from Maudraing. I didn't. This is not set in any particular continuity. The challenge for July 8 was:
* Element 1: Write a story centered around royalty.
* Element 2: Roll a six-sided die. Can't roll a physical one due to your location and/or lack of immediate access to one? No need to worry; we have digital dice too. The number you roll determines your protagonist's station in the royal family as per the following list:
1-2: The ruling monarch (e.g. king or queen)
3-4: The heir to the throne (e.g. crown prince or crown princess)
5-6: The heir next in line for the throne after the above heir (e.g. the lastborn child of the ruling monarch)
* Optional element: Make a servant of the royal family a pivotal character in your story.
