CHAPTER 1: THE BEGINNING
*Alison's pnt of view*
- Come on, girl! You're late! - said my maid
- Okay okay, I'm going
I was late again. My father will be angry at me. But it's just that I couldn't stand those long meetings, where I just had to sit up looking worried and listening to how the government talked about the future of the country and problems that, as an 18-year-old girl, I didn't understand or worried about. Half an hour later, I arrived at the meeting room, said hello and sat in my usual place. My father looked at me with a look that said: "we'll talk later" and I swallowed.
When the meeting ended, only my father and I stayed in the meeting room.
- Could you tell me why were you late again? - he asks me
- Sorry dad. I got distracted and I had to... - I answer
- No excuses! - he interrupted me and he touches his head in despair and snorted - Look, it's just that I want you to have a good position in royalty and that nobody can take your place. And if you attend the meetings in time you will be closer to that.
Yeah, he refers to being queen of Rode, there are lots of people who would benefit if I couldn't take my place on the throne.
- I know you don't like this meetings, but you have to attend them. - he continue in a low voice.
- Okay dad, I understand - I say to him amd we hug.
Next, I return to my room and lie down in my bed.
There's still one hour left for my training of the day, so I take the opportunity to take a shower and choose my sportswear.
An hour later I am with my coach to start training.
As for training classes, my father says that I always have to be prepared for any situation that arises, because being in my position makes you have many enemies.
And I don't complain, I love being with Tim (my coach) and being able to feel free once in the day. Although I didn't think I would need them.
When I am returning to my room I see Lili, my best friend and daughter of my mother's maid, I hug her and she asks me:
- How are you?
- Well, not quite bad. I have argued again with my father - I answer
- Again being late for meetings? - she tells me with a false tone of reproach
- You know me too well. You know I can't stand being there
- I know, but it's your obligation, Alison
- Yeah, I know, unfortunately
- Well girl, stop of bad thoughts.
- I see you come from training, how about Tom? - she asks me with a mischievous look
- Weell, and stop looking at me like that, you know that nothing happens between us.
- Well, that's debatable, you come with a smile every time you see each other.
- But that's just because he's my coach, and because I have that time with him to free myself.
- He's also a hot guy.
- Okaaay, yes, he's handsome, but our friendship doesn't go beyond he being my coach.
- If you say so - said Lili looking at me with a silly smile on her face.
I hit her in the arm and I laugh. We continue walking down the hall until we reach my room where we parted. I enter in my room and for the second time in the day I lay down in my bed and then I fall asleep.
A little while later my mother wakes me up and we go down to dinner. Then I go for a walk in the garden and finally I go to sleep.
And this is basically my day to day being a princess.
However, this was about to change.
