The Omega's Princess

Face The Future

I sighed in relief. Thank goodness father had not seen what I had kept. It would have been disastrous.

How would I have explained? Well, I could have come up with something so I would not get caught.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door. Of course, it was no one by the maids.

“Come on in” They walked in with two hangers of dresses ranging from different colors.

I rolled my eyes and buried my head in my palm. I have to please Father.

With a fake smile on my face, I walked towards the hanger. The maids had a smile on their faces as they bowed.

The dresses were indeed beautiful but I picked the one I loved the most. My favorite color.

A pink sequin dress that was a little below the shoulder. To match it, I picked a crystal shoe to match.

“I am fine with this” I smiled. I already had a crystal chain and earring in my drawer or I could do mother’s necklace? It was however golden in color.

“We would be back in a couple of hours to get you dressed, your Highness” Two maids spoke in unison. I nodded.

You are free to do whatever you want. It was just for this night anyway. I was going to give anyone anything they wanted.

What if the meeting is extended till morning? I shrugged. I had no choice after all.

This night was just for the introduction of the potential suitors. The battle was going to last for tomorrow and the day after it.

I walked to the kitchen for the last time. Everything was well arranged and put in place.

The sweet-smelling savor of the soups and meals filled my nose.

I could not bear it anymore as it was like t*****e to me so I proceeded to take a bite of meat.

“No, you can’t do that” Father’s wife interrupted me just as I was about to take the meat.

How did she come in when I hadn't noticed? I raised my brows at her. Who was she to tell me what to eat and what not?

“Brielle, if you take anything now, you would not be able to eat when the guests come and your father would be upset with you.

Wait for what? Just a piece of meat would prevent me from eating? I scoffed as I looked at her. What the hell was she saying?

She walked close to me and held my hands.

“Please, do not misunderstand me, Brielle.

You have just a few more days in this house. For these few days, I want your father to be happy with you.

I want you to spend the few days in joy with your Father. I would not want you to quarrel.

If you eat anything now, you might be too filled to eat with your guests and your Father would be upset with you. “ She pleaded.

I snatched my hands away from hers. If she was trying to pacify me, then she failed.

She brought back the pain I had been trying to get over.

Knowing I have just a few hours to see my father forever, knowing my father caused me to decide to leave when I didn’t want to, was painful and heartbreaking.

Heartbreaking was just an understatement. Soul burning and spirit shredding is the word.

I turned my face away from her as a teardrop fell from my eyes. I quickly wiped it off.

I could see the pity on Father’s wife's face but it could not help me. I embraced her and wept into her arms. She embraced me as well.

Even though her son was responsible for everything, I could blame her for it. Just then, a maid walked in.

“My lady” She called, interrupting the emotional moment we were having.

Although her son never liked me, she had always been like a mother to me. I hurriedly wiped off my tears.

“It’s time to get you dressed” I nodded my head and walked after her. I tried to act strong.

I would not give Donald the joy he wants by seeing him unhappy. I walked into my room and took off my dress.

The maids followed me immediately as they began to bathe me gently. A lot of thoughts ran through my mind at that moment.

What does life have in store for me?

Would the streets be friendly for me? Of course, most people know who I am, the Princess.

Although I was not allowed to always go out, I was sometimes allowed to go out but each time I did, there were tons of guards and maids to follow me.

I just could not get my privacy. How was I supposed to leave with no one suspecting? Even the young lads knew me. If I was going to escape, I would have to leave our kingdom.

I shook my head and sighed.

Was this a decision I was willing to make or would it be fair if I just stayed back in the palace and marry whoever it is? No! I couldn’t toil with my future like that.

I have to fight for myself.

“My lady, are you okay?” One of the maids questioned, drawing me back into consciousness.

“Yes, I am” I smiled. Quickly they washed my body and then ushered me to the room again, wiping my body, applying some oil, and then dressed me in my dress.

They weaved a side of my hair and brushed it. It was so beautiful but it was not so much of the royalty I wanted so they loosened it and packed it into a bun, decorating my hair with crystal accessories.

They applied some lip tints to my lips and then applied light makeup to my face.

“Announcing the arrival of Prince Philip of Diken Kingdom”

“Announcing the arrival of Prince William of Reight Kingdom”

“Announcing the arrival of………”

I heard the guards call. My heart began to raise. They were around.

Just then, I heard a knock on my door.

“My lady, they are around” A maid spoke. I nodded and stood up. It’s time to face the future.
