Lost
It has been three days since my mate rejected me, but I couldn't bring myself to come out of my room. I feel a strong ache inside of me whenever I think of him, and what we could've been, then I'd say rather suddenly, I heard a soft knock at the door, and it pulled me out of my trance, "Oh!" I proclaimed while being startled. A small-quiet elderly voice then said, "Ma'am, the King andQueen is requesting your presence. They are in the throne room as of now, waiting for your response." "Thank you, inform my Father and mother I am coming to meet them." I said as politely as I could, and I heard a small reply, "Yes Miss, I shall do so." As soon as I heard the already quiet foot steps fade away, I sadly had to get out of my bed. It is proper no matter what, to look your best, there are no exceptions for royalty. With a slight groan I began dressing myself, once ready I slowly bright myself to go out the door. I was surprised when greeted by a maid, "Good morning Miss, and how was your sleep?" said the younger maid with a bright-cheery voice, "I-It was good." I stuttered slightly, "it was good no other royal was there, I would've been the royal laughing stalk if someone saw me like this." I thought to myself, and yet again I was caught off guard by the voice of the younger maid, "Are you alright Miss?" she said while looking at me with a weary expression. "I'm alright, no need to worry." I said with a calming voice, "I am really zoning out today." I thought anxiously. I started walking towards the throne room, but I noticed that I started to feel weary, almost as if I knew something bad was going to happen. We entered the tall throne room, it had a crystal chandelier and there was gold lining the pillers, and the walls were covered with extraordinary art. "I forgot how much we like to flash our money." I thought a little perturbed with my family, "Princess Remora has arrived." shouted a middle-aged voice, allowing the King and Queen to know I was there. "Ah yes, welcome My daughter." said the King with a stern but shaky voice, you could tell that the King was getting older. "Have you been well?" asked the King, but you could tell that he was just asking to cover formalities. Beside him sat my step-mother, you could tell she wanted me gone, but the King being blinded by 'love' couldn't see her deception, which is why I believed she tricked him into marriage after my mother , her half-sister died. Finally I found my words to say, "Father, you are a great King, and I thank you for asking about my well-being. But I have something to say, may I speak freely?" I said a little weary, while also glancing at my step-mother. "You may." said the King, while being a little intrigued. The Queen began to send me warning glances, and as I opened my mouth to speak, her fist clenched. "I love you my Father," I said with sincerity, and the Queen relaxed a little. "but," I added slowly, and my step-mother tensed up again, and looking at her fist, with a raised eyebrow, my Father turned back to me, "Go on." he said, and I thought "Isn't it funny how two words can make you spill out your whole heart." I then began, "After having three days to myself and to think, I realized this, your wife, the Queen also my step-mother. Wants me gone." Now the King looked angry, and seeing how her husband was angry, she then saw an opportunity, "How could you accuse me of such a horrible thing..." she began to cry out, while covering her face. And then angry the King stood and said, "How dare you accuse the Queen, my wife of such a thing!" quickly looking up at my Father I said, "How can you be fooled for so long!" I said now shouting. Them my Father staring deep into my eyes, and speaking with a stern voice, he angrily said, "How dare you!" then pointing his wrinkly pointer finger at me, he says, "You are here by banned from this castle, from this land, from this territory, and from this family." then I stared blankly at him, "Guards take her away." he said sitting back down. With tears in my eyes, I stared back at my Father saying, "How could you, why would you!?" he started to look saddened, "How could you do this to your own family!? Your own blood!" I said throwing more accusations. "He can't do this!" I thought to myself, while struggling to get the grip of the guards off of me. They then took me out of the throne room, and I pleaded with the guards to at least let me grab my stuff, from my room, finally they took me to my room, "Hurry, pack as much as you can in this bag." said the youngest knight, "Thank you." I said with tears falling down my face now. "I will remember your kindness" I said, then taking me outside, they set me by the gate, and I glanced back one last time to see my father, in the courtroom nelt over on his knees, pleading with the queen, I then turned around and walked into the darkness.
