Ugh... I'm so tired of the same routine especially with the amped up protocols. I had thought to myself rolling out of my fluffy duvet covers that are soft and comfy. Oh yeah duh what was I thinking I guess I better get moving out of my comfy burrito that kept me warm in the poorly insulated castle of a home. My dad King Romulus III has never been so uptight until like six months ago, he claims a seer went to him and said there's trouble coming to his home and ever since now I feel like a damn prisoner more or less. *Knock* *knock* "Hello Princess are you awake? The King and Queen are waiting for you in the dining hall wing." My maid had said through the door gosh her voice is better than my dads lectures every morning . I thought to myself "I'll be down shortly, I'm getting dressed now. " I said through the door and heard her walk away. Well I guess I better get dressed and go downstairs just for another morning lecture from my dad yet again. Looking through the closet I find a few dresses that I honestly don't want to wear. There I found the dress I wanted to wear a purple lilac, with a small pleat towards the bottom and body conforming so it's not too slutty but just enough to be comfortable and my hair in a small donut style bun.
Starting my walk downstairs to meet with my parents I silently think to myself what if I can't live to their expectations especially in two weeks I have to prove myself as their equal in the upcoming royal magic trials. UGH!!! I get it why spike security with me though I know how to properly defend myself. A eerie feeling creeps up on my spine as I walk down the hall to the final door before the dining focusing on a reveal spell; a blue orb that I have harnessed plenty of times in situations just like this one forms in my righthand and I throw it in the direction the feeling is coming from just to reveal a shadow figure in the form of a person but didn't manifest anything distinguishable just a shadow figure. I quietly walk into the door and breathe a small sigh of relief to know my parents are still in excellent health "Mom, Dad how are you this morning the month before my 18th birthday?" After a considering look from both parents " Darling Raven, we were just talking and we have decided that maybe you don't need high guards so we are going to start laxing up your royal guards, but if anything happens that doesn't add up or a God forbid a attack on the castle happens then you will be put under high guard again. Since you are becoming an adult and a true future heir to the throne. " My father had said, holding back my excitement from what was just said my maid walks in the dining hall. "My princess, your best friend Tatiyana the future Duchess has called on you and was wondering if her majesty would be available to hang out later on today?" I look towards my parents who were smirking with my mom looking and no so surprised look " Well I don't believe we have anything further to discuss with our Darling Raven until later in the evening. Do we Merlin ? " Dad looked taken offguard at my Mom and shook his head in a "No" manner. I swear those two have their funny moments in all seriousness aside. I had a side of fruit for breakfast I wasn't in the mood for pancakes or anything too hearty I wanted something light but sweet as well. We all talked and discussed birthday plans since in our kingdom the legal age is like 17 for light alcohol and 19 for hard liquer especially since our culture is different. We believe in parental responsibility if they think their kid can handle it then that's their call until the minor is 19 which legal for them to make that decision on their own.
Walking up the stairs now I feel nauseate, dizzy, and definitely not well the stairs started feeling like I was climbing steep hills and my breath being stolen away from me. My vision was slowly fading away from me cause me to hyperventilate as the feeling of suffocation was becoming overwhelming. Slowly descending into the descent of darkness a shadow figure appears again that I can't make out and my eyes finally cave into the temptation of closing and just like that darkness has become my friend for the first time I believe I was scared...
Feeling as if the dark haze has left me alone and under unspeakable amounts of stress ad anxieties suddenly revealing that no matter what I am still as fragile as ever I'll never be brave enough to be able to handle a kingdom... so I thought.
