Not your normal happily ever after

POV- 1st person (Spade) Setting- The kingdom of Aurum A/N- This story is inspired by Aphmau's series MCD (Minecraft diaries) Hope you enjoy! -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- I sit on my bed, hugging myself through my tears because I knew that no one else would. I just got into a big fight with my father. Though this is far from the first time... Oh, I should introduce myself. My name is Spade. I am the princess of the Kingdom of Aurum. Or the Kingdom of Gold. Call it whatever you want. If your wondering what I look like, I will explain it to you. I have a long braid and some hair that was to short to braid still hanging. I have a white spade on my cheek. All of my family has it. But I will explain why later. I normally wear short sleeved shirts and jeans. You can imagine me in anything but a dress. I hate those... And also I have dark brown eyes and light brown skin. I can give you a quick run down of my past and how it effects my present. My mother is the queen of this kingdom. She has strawberry blonde hair, light blue eyes and white skin. She usually wears dresses of light color. My father is the king. He has dark brown skin with dark purple eyes. He usually wears black suits with armor. Everyone thinks that I have the perfect life. But I only put on a facade to not get yelled at later. My father is the main ruler of the family, and the kingdom by extension. He wants all of the power for himself. What's even worse it that he treats my mother horribly. And it's not just her. Its all the women in the kingdom. He treats women like objects or maids. And it's not just that. He is unkind and selfish to all people. Its just that men are spared more often. I bet your wondering by now. Why don't the villagers move away? That's because they can't. There is a large wall surrounding the kingdom, closing it off for the villagers to migrate. The only people that are allowed to step foot outside the kingdom are the people who run trade. Im not kidding. Not even me or my mother are allowed to leave... Me and my mother spend our day's mostly in our separate rooms. We only come out for meals or for meetings. Even though we are apart for most of the day. We are very close. I am her daughter after all. We go through the pain of living like caged birds together. Now for the reason behind the spade. Normally royal family's have powers that are passed down. And it is shown by some kind of mark. In this case a spade. My mother's power is time control and telekinesis. My father's is strength, and power canceling. Mine is unknown because I have yet to figure out how to use it. Whenever we activate our powers the spades on our cheeks are supposed to glow. Now that you know a bit of my past. I need to explain how it effects me now. It makes me stronger. Sure fathers words (and sometimes hands) do hurt me. But it fuels my determination to get out of this hell hole. And I don't go through the pain alone... -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- "Spade? Are you alright?" I heard a voice outside of my bedroom door. It was faint. I smiled. "Yes, you can come in..." I whispered. Though he could still hear it. My childhood friend, and butler, Ben walked through the door looking worried. He has messy, short hair. He wears the standard butler suit and he constantly complains that he doesn't like it. And he has light green eyes that could ease anyone with just one look. He is the only one that I can talk to freely. We have been friends ever since we were old enough to talk. He became my butler when I started my royal training at 10. I am now 23 though. "I heard what happened." He mumbled making sure to sound comforting. He kneeled in front of me and took both of my hands into his. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you this time?" He asked frantically. I smiled. "No not this time...". His tense form eased at my words. We vowed to protect each other. So if we ever see each other hurt it's like routine to check up on each other. He got up and sat beside me on my bed. He wiped my tears. "Good" he said relieved. "Well dinner is ready. You can go down and bring it back up here if you want." He said. I never really liked eating at the table. What was the point of eating with my family if we weren't happy? So I would bring it in my room and eat with Ben. So we could keep each other company. I nodded and walked out of the room to get our meals. The layout of the castle (Or the part that I can go to at least) is fairly simple. When I walk outside my room across the long hallway is my mother's room. On the left side of both of our rooms is a set of stairs to the bottom floor. On the bottom floor is the entrance to the main castle. If you turn where your back is once you get down the stairs is is the dinning room. And on the left of the dinning room is the kitchen. On the right of the dinning room is my fathers office. He sleep's in another part of the castle. I don't know where and neither do I care. I walk down the stairs. I look to my right and notice my mother doing the same. We stop midway and look at each other. We don't speak but we already know what we would've said. "We will get through this". Our meals are on the dinning room table. My mother gets hers and goes to her room. Instead of grabbing mine and Ben's meals right away I head towards the kitchen. The routine is that I give my thanks to the cooks on behalf of me, my mother, and Ben. I walk in and the cooks are cleaning up the mess. There are 5 cooks. 3 female and 2 male. One of the female cooks notice me walk in. "Ah! Your here!" She says happily. "Are you alright?" I nod. "Im fine. It's been worse." The woman smiles. "We made your favorite!" One of the male cooks say. The castle cooks are very kind. Every time I get involved in a fight they make sure that the next meal is my favorite. In this case it's Spaghetti. My favorite. I smile wide. "Thank you very much!" I bow. "And I give you my thanks. On behalf of me, my mother and Ben." "Anything for you Spade!" Another one of the female cooks say. I leave the kitchen and grab the meals to head back up stairs. Ben must have heard me coming up the steps because he was waiting with the door open. I walked into my room and handed him his plate. "Ah, your favorite I assume?" He said. "Yes! This might just make my whole day!" I say relieved. Thank goodness I won't have to stay in a gloomy mood all day. He smiled and ruffled my hair with his free hand. "Im glad". I pouted and leaned up to ruffle his already messy hair. Then we sat on my bed and ate in silence. Even though we didn't speak we still enjoyed each other's company. "At least I have you..." I thought contently.
