Every man who has seen her always wished they could have her.
.....
Being a princess sounds fun right? Life full of wealthiness, nice clothes and shoes. My life as a princess was never the same as it sounds.
My father, King Zeras. The great king of Aerish. Who cares about his kingdom more than anyone in this family, even more than himself. Then there's my mother. Queen Hazel. She never was the friendly mother that I could talk to or share my thoughts and feelings with, which, couldn't blame her because in most kingdoms including my family's, women had to act lady-like, always stay silent and impress their husband. God, I hated being a female. My brother, a very charming and respectful man. Any women would be lucky to have him. My brother is the only one who understands me in this castle, since I can't have any friends for being a princess. He was the only one I could talk to and my only friend. Erwen, my brother. Tall, black silky hair and his beautiful brown eyes that turn to a color of hazel in the sun light, along with his broad shoulders. I always looked up to him ever since I was a little girl. Erwen was not like any other prince. A prince who would do less killing and gave second chances.
....
"DAIYANA." Yelled Erwen as he was chasing me for running away with his sword. "Give it back to me you are giving yourself trouble!"
"You will have to get me first" I replied still running with the sword. I always desired to be my own person in my small world where I could do anything I wished for. That is something that is almost impossible, especially in this place.
"I got you, HA!" Erwen caught me and held me in place. "Listen to me, never run away with my swords again." Erwen said with a serious but a slight angry tone, though looking into his eyes knowing he would he would never be angry with me for such act, he only wanted to keep me out of trouble.
"Brother, I only wanted to play with you." I said slightly in a nervous and unhappy voice. "You are not a little girl anymore, sister." Erwen informed with a playful smirk.
He probably thinks I meant it in a child way.
"I don't mean it like that." I replied as I kept feeling more nervous. Erwen looked at me dumbstruck and surprised, like if the impossible had became possible.
"Y- you want to sword train?"
"yes" I replied barely a whisper with my head down, heart beating so fast. To what felt like an eternity with no response but a only a surprise look on his face and a frozen body that looked like would never thaw.
"Look, I know I am not permitted to do such thing but... please. Brother please, for once in my existence I want to do something out of desire. N- no one has to know." Erwen only stood there staring at me with disbelief as if I had just lost my mind. A lady was never allowed to do such act, especially sword training, it's forbidden.
"If no one has to know or if you will not be in any need of using your training skills for any occasion, what is the reason to even take training, Huh? sister?"
I looked at Erwen with disbelief, even though I should have expected a reply like this, I didn't, not from my brother.
"I- I Thought you'd actually be happy and support me for this Erwen." I looked at him with almost teary eyes.
"sigh...It's not that I don't sister, I'm only trying to protect you. If anyone finds out, they will immediately inform father and only god knows he will do."
before I could protest, I looked down with teary eyes, trying to hide it from Erwen, he lifted my chin with his thumb.
"I'm sorry" he said, then to make me a little happy, he gave me a reassuring smile.
I could only give in and give him a sad smile.
"Come here." As he kissed my forehead and pulled me in his embrace.
This man had raised me better than my own father. I mean it's not like my father or mother ever cared for me. In fact, Erwen and I only meant power for this kingdom and my father.
