RIA
"RIA !!! What the hell did you do this time ?! Did you get involved in a fight again?!?" Mom's angry voice welcomed me the moment I opened the door of our house.
"Ouch! Mom stop! It hurts! My ear!"
"Oh, that's all for you! How many times do I have to tell you that you can't be involved in any fights ?! Alas Ria! You're already turning eighteen, act on your age!" Mom scolded me while holding her waist and brows furrowed. But I was really thankful because she finally let go of my ears! Gosh! That hurts like hell!
"What are you doing as a child ?! Last time you hung our neighbor's son on a tree!" Mom scolded me one again.
"It's not my fault! He called me a witch first! I was bored and pissed so I hung him on the tree. Hehe!" I grinned while arguing to mom when I remembered that ugly thing.
"Ouch! What's that for ?!" I hissed as mo hit my head with a spoon.
"Why? It's true that you're a witch, huh ?! What are you ashamed of about your father's blood lying there in your blood ?!" mom even glared at me.
"Hehehe. I'm sorry, I forgot!" I was still scratching my head while smiling awkwardly to mom.
"I don't know what to do to you Ria, when will you grow up and be mature ?! In this situation I might immediately follow your dad and die because of stress!" it was obvious in mom's voice that she was so pissed because of my antics.
"Just chill! Promise this is the last one! From now on I will avoid being involved in any sort of fight." I said while my right hand was still raised.
"How many times have you said that? I can't count." Mom said while raising her eyebrows at me.
"Tsk! Nevermind,just wash your hand and let's just eat." Mama added before going to the kitchen.
I just smiled because of how she behaved. This is always what happens to me and mom every day. It's like our routine. I'll be involved with a fight, go home, mom's gonna scold me and then we'll eat. Just like that, over and over again.
THE NEXT MORNING
I was smiling and still singing while walking to school.I'm really in a good mood today.Of course! Who's not? Today is the last day we of school, starting tomorrow is the semestral break. That means I'll be free to roam again in two weeks! Hwahaha!
When the class was over, my smile was almost reach the sky. Okay that's already O.A. By the way. I just remembered.
The Royalè Festival is also coming soon. It's a festival here in Vanness every year. Many contests are held and the most highlight here is the ball that will take place right inside the palace. They also say that the nobles also choose witches to take care of or guard their children. (Most of the nobles in Vanness are people. The witches chose to live peacefully as ordinary citizens.)
I'm also not interested in that kind of fun so I don't attend. It's a pity. Because at that time, I'd rather just stay at home and eat something or wander around and fight.
When I got home, my mother was not there yet so I went straight to my room.
'I think she went outside to by groceries.'
I changed my clothes and decided to go to bed first because it was too early for dinner.
I was taken aback when I heard a loud knock on my bedroom door.
"Ria get up, we're going to eat." I heard mom shouted.
"Yes!" I shouted back while still yawning. I also brushed my teeth first and combed my hair before I decided to go down.
"By the way Ria, we are going to attend the upcoming ball." Mom informed me after a couple of minutes that we are eating in silence. I instantly objected after hearing and realizing what she just said.
"What the! Mom! You already knew that I don't like that kind of party, it's too boring." I frowned at my complaint to mama.
"We can't afford not to attend, we're invited by a very important so we have to attend." Mom said and she obviously didn't want to offend the person she was referring to.
"Why? Who even invited us? We're not known or influencial." I asked mom because I'm really curious about that 'important person'.
"The leaders wife." Mom said like it's nothing serious while me? I'm like ' what-the-eff?'. Why would she even invite us. I was having wild guesses when I remembered something.
Don't tell me it have something to do with that?
"Does this have something to do about dad being the Leaders protector?" I asked mom seriously. But instead of answering my question she just looked at me for a couple of seconds then she shrug and continued eating her dinner. I really wish it's not connected to that.
When dad was still alive I always wanted to be like him. A protector.
Dad once told me when he was still alive that he started protecting the Leaders protector when they were still students. Him and dad were friends and schoolmates. I saw how close they are at that time.
One day, I told dad that I wanna be like him. A protector. He just smiled at me and encouraged me. I always thought that if I told him my dream, he will just laugh at me. I'm a girl after all. And girls are rarely chosen to be a protector. But you will have a chance if you're strong and powerful. Because protecting the future leaders is like protecting Vanness.
That's why since childhood I was already training so hard. I want to be strong in order to be a protector.
I trained my really hard. Be it physically, mentally, spiritual, emotionally and trained my power. Because the stronger your body, the more powerful you can be.
I learned different martial arts and studied so many enchantments.
But it's funny how everything can change in just one day.
I was turning 15 at that time when dad died. He died protecting me. He died right before my eyes and I can't do anything about it. He died because of me.
That's why I gave up my dream. How can I protec the future leader if I'm a coward?
How can a weakling like me become a protector?
