A Cursed Princess (Love story--girls only)
girls only :)
I am Juliet Sophia Lynnette Wade, Heir to the throne of Wade… And today is the end of the world.
I looked out my bedroom window to see the gardener planting the roses that would bloom in the summer. He was wearing a large heavy coat and snow was beginning to fall. I wrapped my arms around my waist, feeling the chill. A con about living in a castle is that there is never any heating. I turned from the window and looked around my room, my eyes searching for my robe.
I spotted it hanging on the closet door and felt its red ivory softness as I slipped it on. I walked out of my room and into the hallway. The large windows were letting in some sun as I walked hurriedly to the dining room; I wasn’t going to keep the King and Queen waiting.
The stone walls practically glittered as I burst a loud “good morning.”
I stepped into the large room, my robe trailing behind me. The sun was shining and lighting up the long and narrow table. The table was covered in our red special cloths with the large feathers on them. My eyes wandered to the end of the table, where my parents were sitting in their normal seats, with three people sitting across from them.
Two I recognized as the King and Queen of Eldon and the other was unknown to me. He was a probably my age, his brown hair fell untidily and I saw his bright blue watery eyes flicker at me before looking away. I realized that they were all wearing Royal Garments; Eldon’s deep blue and our dark red ones. My father’s blonde hair fell ruggedly to his shoulder, his green proud eyes eyeing my clothes. Great, another thing to get lectured on…
“Morning Juliet, you may take your seat now,” my father’s tone felt hard and impatient.
I took a seat next to my mother whose dark brown eyes hid beneath her bangs. Her long brown hair was tied in a bun and her smile looked force instead of natural. I could see some sweat on her arms that probably came from her Fire. I couldn’t wait until I got my powers; you see everyone in Bermuda gets a power.
The people who live in Eldon get either water or air and the people who live here in Wade get either earth or fire. The members of the Royal Families (King, Queen, Princesses and Princes) also get Magic which takes form of a magical object depending on its users. I was personally hoping I got my Mother’s Fire and that my Magic took form of a Wand.
“King Jordan, this is my daughter Juliet; I hope you can forgive her lateness and lack of proper clothes, she’s usually better.” nodding towards the King.
I saw the boy smirk from the corner of my eye and if the situation was any different I would have sent him a kick under the table.
“It’s alright; I can understand the pressure she must be getting these days being the future Queen and all. My son James here is working to be a good King as well,” replied the man with his sharp gray eyes studying me, his fluffy blonde hair was cut in a way that looked sophisticated.
Wait did he say the boy was the Prince; there was no way. I mean he looks like one but he doesn’t really act like one so far. At the same moment Prince James gave a respectful nod towards my parents.
Annoyed, I turned my attention off of him and to the Queen. She looked nothing like him, her long light brown hair was tied in a braid that probably reached her bum and she had gentle warm blue eyes. I knew she had the power of Water and her husband had the power of Air. I wonder what Power James has; I hoped it was water because that’s less powerful than air. Maybe he doesn’t even have his Power yet! Ugh why was I thinking about something so pointless?
I turned my focus onto the plate in front of me; hmmm today we have bacon, eggs, mashed potatoes and some toast. I took a mouthful of the potatoes and my mouth melted; I reminded myself that if I see our Chef I should tell him what a great job he was doing. I kept eating as my parents and the visitors
discussed the upcoming ball.
You see every year our two countries have a ball at one castle, but I hoped this year would be my first because you have to have your powers to attend. Everyone gets their Powers at different times, some as early as three years old and some as late as twenty. I quietly ate, and focused on the birds playing around outside.
“Maybe Juliet should go with him, being her first time and all,” I heard my mother say.
This definitely sparked my attention, who and what are they talking about. Are they talking about a date to the ball, I hoped. I get annoyed around guys and always end up embarrassing myself.
“I think that’s a wonderful idea, then the kids will get to know each other as well,” the Queen of Eldon piped in.
A smile was forming across her face as she looked at me and then James.
“I think that should be okay, as long as there isn’t any objections from you King Marvin,” agreed King Eldon. I was dumbfounded; I didn’t want to go the ball with someone I had just met.
“No objections here, but neither of them have their powers yet so they might not even be able to come,” my father chimed in.
“I don’t think so Marv honey. We all got our powers around this time and their both thirteen so I expect it to be here before the ball,” my mother replied.
King Jordan told them as he leaned back in his chair and keeping his hands behind his head, “James is fifteen now and actually I went to the Oracle before arriving here and it told me to expect James and Juliet’s Powers on December 27 and the ball isn’t until new years. But most likely we’ll be on the road to our castle when they come!!”
I widened my eyes at King Jordan, “are you serious.” That was tomorrow, I’m so nervous right now I can barely speak. I can tell James is too because he’s
watching his dad waiting to see if he was joking or not.
“Natch, my husband doesn’t joke around and I should tell you kids that we’re leaving tonight so go up and pack, get changed etc. then meet us downstairs in an hour,” Queen Kimberly (James Mother) told us.
She smiled a warm smile at me but her eyes looked troubled as if she felt
really guilty about something.
