I hated that we had to stay at the palace longer. I wanted to go back to the academy I wanted to finish my classes and see Ryker and Lexi, I wanted to feel normal again. I was tired of all this here. The stress, the titles, always having to tell people what to do. It was all just so overwhelming. Soon enough I would have to deal with it at all times, but right now, right now I just wanted to be myself, be a teenager trying to finish school. Maybe that was too much to ask because of my status. Maybe being normal like everyone else was a fairy tale for me. I was born to be where I am now, whether I wanted to be or not. And if I was being honest, I didn’t want it. I didn’t want to be royal. I didn’t want all the stress, all the chaos. I didn’t want to be in charge of anyone or anything. Howev
