A/n: Brought one of my favorite books to webnovel, I hope you like and share.
My name is Princess Jemima, only daughter amongst 3 sons (Samuel, Simeon and Sharon) of King and Queen Liam VIIII, I happen to be the last child, with a lot of secrecy around my birth.
Unlike every other princesses, I was different, I acted more like a man than a lady, despite several talks from my mother. I am the first and only female Knight in our Kingdom.
Talking of our kingdom-Golden is the most beautiful kingdom in the east side, with 10 castle in it, 9 made of silver and diamonds. The last, which was the royal castle is made up of pure gold, which shone morning and night, even kingdoms from afar sees it shine. Our kingdom had what others doesn't, love! and equality. We also had musicians who sang 24/7 melodious song, makes everyone happy.
There were five kingdoms in the east side, Silver, Bronze, Rose, Pure and Golden, each name stood for what they had. But, these kingdoms were mysteriously separated by an ocean and several bushes, making sure these kingdoms don't get to visit each other and over the years they were enemies.
Today, these five kingdoms will be uniting. There is going to be a big party tonight at the palace hall for the royals, a part of me wasn't happy about the reunion. Few weeks back, my brother Samuel, went hunting, he rescued King Oliver of Bronze from a wild animal while his guards had ran off. Samuel saved the day, news spread like wild fire, Kings met and decided to celebrate and unite to help each other in time of trouble.
"My lady" Elena enters my chambers. She has been my personal maid since I was 15, she is just few years older than me, I see her more like a sister, between my brother likes her. She is red haired, slim, with her tanned skin and hazel eyes, she is beautiful.
"Hi Elena" I sighed as I left the window side and sat on the bed.
"Here is your dress for tonight, perfectly made by Julian " she smiled, placing the dress on my bed.
"Thanks Elena "
"Hungry?"
"No, Elena"
"Okay, let's get started"
I rolled my eyes, I really can't remember the last time I wore a dress.
.....
Elena spent hours preparing me, making me look more beautiful than I was. I was wearing the golden dress she had earlier brought in. My dark hair combed and packed in doughnut form beautifully with golden hairpins in shape of flowers.The makeup perfect, jewelry perfect .
I stared at the mirror and wondered if it was really me. I am so used to my knight training wears, made me tall and fit.
Mother enters;
"Baby, you look so beautiful" she said kissing me on the cheek."I really feel you should dress like this everyday, all princesses do"
"I'm unique mother!" I replied
She let out a smile "everyone is waiting to see you"
"Then we shouldn't keep 'em" I stood
"You look perfect tonight"
"Thanks mother" I hug her.

Walking down the stairs all eyes were on my mother and I, I'm confident. We walked up to the Royal table. All the royal family from different kingdoms sat, the villagers were quite far from us, partying too.
"I present to y'all my daughter! Princess Jemima" my mother, Queen Andra said. I slightly bow.
"She is beautiful"
"Looks more like her mother"
"I'd say father! Heard she is brave"
"True!"
They began to make comments and laugh. I made my way to the table were the princes and princesses sat. Nine princesses properly dressed, looking well mannered and six princes including my brothers.
Bronze had a prince and two princesses(Roy, Jane and Emily) Pure had a prince and three princesses (Mike, Michelle and Meredith) Rose had just two princesses (Franca and Melody)Silver had a prince and a princess(Lorenzo and Lorena).
As I approach them, slightly bowing, I really don't know how this works, i need lectures. Princes stood taking my hands, they kissed behind my palms, one after the other. I sat in midst of my brothers thereafter;
"Glad we all are now united, we could do a lot together yunno" Melody said with a smile.
"Not a bad idea, We could start with a friendly royal fight! I'm the best in my kingdom, I always win" Lorenzo said, I sensed arrongance in his words.
"Exactly!" Lorena said patting his back.
"Through this we can know the best warrior in the east side and give him his due respect" Prince Roy said.
"Him? His? I'm a warrior too" I said with a fake smile.
"We know! But you are a princess, a girl too! You have no chances" Prince Lorenzo smiled at me, I felt insulted.
"Yeah" Princess Franca supported. "Why would you even be a knight, Princess are-"
I cut in "To sit like dullards....not me" I smile, Samuel stared at me with a stern look, trying to caution me;
"My lil sis is just trying to support her gender, I thought the princesses would back her up though" Simeon said outta no where, I smiled at him
"We should rather make a cheers to a new beginning of friendship, unison and love" Samuel proposed, we raised our glasses in the air and drank, my eyes locked with Lorenzo, he smirks, I pulled my gaze away and it fell on Ruth.
"Excuse me!"
Leaving the table, I went to meet her in the hallway where she stood;
"Hmmm...you look pretty in this" Ruth chuckled
"Not funny!" I shot "what's happening?"
"Nothing, just wanted to say Hi"
Ruth has been my best friend since forever, though from different backgrounds, it didn't matter. I felt she had same goal as I did and we get connected in a way, beautiful, bold and courageous! Briefly describing Ruth. She is almost my height, blonde hair, always in ponytail, her father was a goldsmith, he made so many strong swords, after his death Ruth took over.
"I love your outfit, look at you doing without a sword for once" she chuckles
"Whatever!"
"See you in the eve, love ya"
"Don't go!"
"Buh-bye!!" She hurried away. I saw someone pass behind me, with his arm behind his back, he walked so gently, I haven't seen this face before. Intruder!!! I knew on a day like this I am to see strange faces but this man, he is well built, his dark long hair fell to his back, his face... I couldn't see clearly, the way he wandered was so suspicious I began to trail him.
Walking gently behind him, we got to a passage where no one was, i raised my gown and draw out my sword, Ruth words replayed 'look at you doing without a sword for once' I chuckled, 'I don't do without my sword sis!"
I placed the sword on his neck;
"Do not move an inch, turn slowly or I rip off your neck!!!" I shot
