The Queen of His Heart

“Wake up and start your job slave, I don’t want to have to be coming to your stinky room to wake you.” My step- sister, Priscilla sneered. ‘I was already awake anyway’ .

" Yes, Your highness.”

I grabbed her clothes and went to start stitching the holes. She keeps saying she’s going on a strict diet and I should go on one too because I’m too fat, but she does nothing at all and buys clothes 2 times smaller than her.

“UGH!! DADDYYY! SHE DIDN’T DO IT WELL. LOOK, THERE ARE STILL HOLES IN THERE. SHE DESERVES TO BE DEAD, KILL HER DADDY! NOW”

Priscilla’s throwing a tantrum because there’s one hole in her dress, which is not in the least way noticeable.

“You know we can’t kill it, princess, we might want to sell it someday.”

“ But daddy, I have nothing to wear when the king comes.”

out of your 3567 ball gowns and 700 tiaras?

“Don’t worry, you’re still beautiful, he’ll either choose you, or your other sisters.”

“It’s definitely me, I’m the prettier one anyways, and YOU! stitch my dress, and it had better be ready when I get back, ” She sneered.

Then she slapped me and walked out with her dad.

I would prefer being sold off than being here.

Priscilla’s room(eldest)

Anastasia (middle)

Grace (youngest)

I mean... it's nothing new.

While I was still stitching a hole, the king suddenly barged inside and dragged me outside my room by my hair.

I’m finally out of that room.

“Here she is your Majesty, though I doubt you would still want to have her-”

“Silence!” I heard a powerful growl. ′woah’

“Look at me princess,” he said. ‘Is he talking to me? But what if he isn’t and he hits me?’

“Yes your majesty, I knew you would make a wise choice since I’m the prettiest in the whole-” Priscilla was cut off.

“Not you, mutt. You, my snow-haired princess”

But I’m not a princess anymore.

“Y-yes your Majesty” I spoke, my voice being a little raspy from not enough water being given to me in the last 16 years of my life; when I was 5 years old and my mother passed away.

‘I’ve been counting, since I had nothing for entertainment’

“Come here, princess,” he said softly.

I shuffled quickly so as to not anger him.

“Sit, good.” He picked me up and sat me on a chair, beside him.

‘I’m blushing?!’

“Your cheeks look rosy, princess”. He beamed, smiling at me. ‘His smile is pretty’

“Thank you, your majesty,”

Then Grace walked in.

“What are you doing beside him you mutt! Get up, that’s my seat”

I was about to stand up, but then His majesty pulled me into his lap.

“Now you can sit, but make sure to move your chair away. You’re nowhere near graceful.”

How am I supposed to sit here? I stink, and I’m probably covered in dirt from all those boots I’ve been polishing.

“Y-your majesty, I’m dirty, your clothes will get dirty too-”

“I do not mind my princess, look at me.”

He pulled my chin and looked into my eyes. woah.

"Your eyes are beautiful princess.”

“Your eyes are also very sparkly”. He suddenly made a sound, like a tiny laugh.

“Well, I have something more sparkly princess, would you like to see?”

“O-ok”

“It’s yours”

He handed me a nest of crystals. So shiny! wha- it’s too much for me.

I couldn’t say yes, because it was too heavy and I could get some powers out of a crystal and because I felt strange since they were all staring at me.

“Out. The lot of you.”

Everybody got out of the room, not before each of them gave me a glare.

“Would you like to get out of here, princess? I can see that they treat you worse than an animal here”

“But your majesty-”

“Call me Alaric princess”

“O-Oh, ok. But they’ll bring me back here” I said, my voice sounding a little panicked. I didn’t want to get a beating worse than I am already used to.

" It’s okay princess, Its okay to accept a little,
