I was standing beside my father in the ball room of his elagant hall named after his father king Edward. We welcomed royal guests who wore beautiful clothes and talking like nothing matters.
I was being introduced to each guest as they kiss my cheeks and pass with air of confidence and stiffness.
Some show their protests lightly with their stupid face when my Father King Desmond introduce me as his daughter Princess Gebirella which they already know.
Some never approved of me, and at the Same time I never cared what they think of me.
I watch the queen fake her smile each time someone greets her. Being a stepmother has been tough on her and I once told her I am not interested since she never liked me at all.
She doesn't hide her disgust of me. but here now, in this ball room she smiles for the world to see.
I want to rake her face with my spikeball and see what she have to say again, maybe it will make the world know how much I disgust her.
I watch my half siblings as the mingle with others.
The crown prince approach me with a wine and gave me one of the glasses while he stands besides me.
Hey! he called to me, I look into his eyes and nod. Silently he is telling me to be strong. He has been there every step of the way with me and never hated my existence. Rather he seems to know why my existence than I do.
He said that I existed because of a mistake his mother did, and that's the only thing I could get from him all this years.

General Michael Hat walk towards us looking as handsome as ever. I love him secretly though why will such a person even think of me. but then he always like to make small talks with me.
he smiles at me and bows to my father and shakes hands with my half brother the crown prince. he then look at me with those sea blue eyes and high cheek bones, he looks like a Greek god in all their glory. my princess will you dance with me? he says to me with a perfect smile. I smile back and say to him yes General!.......
