"young princess, do wake up, you have a lot that awaits you" I lazily rolled over and covered my ears, "young madam.." I squeezed tighter "YOUNG MADAM!!!!, you'd be late you have to stand up!!" "UGH!!! Miss Harley could you shut it! I'm trying to sleep" "young madam, it's your 18th birthday a lot of duties awaits you, you will fit enough to be queen and the annual 'choose the Queen' is not so far off the corner" "Harley you know fully well how uninterested I am about being married" "then how else do you want to be queen" "I don't know, even being queen is boring, I only agreed it if you legally chop off my haters head" "excuse me ! " "You've been excused ""madam stand up and go get dressed and ready ""ugh!!!! Stop nagging, I've heard , I'd do it yeash you are so pesky".

I stood up and stormed into the bathroom, then I slammed the door. I got my phone out, 12 missed calls, from Francis, he's such a sweet boy, he cares about me, he scares too much about me, don't need any more lagging in my life. I called him back "hello honey boo ""francis""yeah, where have you been, I've been calling you come on you didn't answer, are you okay? ""You see that's the problem, um I AM okay , but you want to know what I'm not okay with ""what? ""Us, let's break up ""why?""you are too nice and I don't want a naggy person in my life, so we're over" "but_" "NO buts, wiah you best of luck in your next relationship" then i hung up.

I turned on the shower and just stared at it, May 15th 2024, my birthday, May 30th Queen picking day, May 31st my brother's coronation. Why do I look forward and maybe a little bit too forward to non of them. I took of my clothes and went into the bath tub, I turned on the music and remain there for like 3minutes , I got a bang on my door, "Go away Harley!!!" "Young madam, Come out now! The king and queen request for you" I stood up, put on my robe and got out, "tell Mom and dad to wait, my hair is wet and i just got out of the bath." I dried my hair, tied it in a bun, wore a dress and walked out to the dinning hall, then I froze, one thing I hate the most is family dinner, it's just a time for my parents to be on my neck on hy I'm not acting queen material".

I finally sat down with the rest of them. Mom , Dad and Jonathan....."perfect family" buh me the opposite,I refuse to adhere to the boring rules of this house.

I sat down then a maid came to drop my food on the table. I picked up my fork and knife when it came to me, "Mom " "mhm?" "Why can't boys line up and I chose my king, why the other way round, I don't what to be some boy puppet or a boy toy" "Milah" "yeah mom " "go get dressed to a better dress your brother got us an invitation to the crown prince's coronation" "so I'm spending my birthday at a boring coronation huh?" "Coronations aren't boring it's.." "tradition?....yeah I know, I'll go change" "yeah and your princess classes starts tomorrow " i rolled my eyes and left.

When I got to my room there was a knock , "what now" Seth opened the door, she's the maid in training, and my personal maid..and, "Princess Milah, your dress is ready ma'am " "cut the drama , I'm not in the mood" my best friend "what's up? " "I'm being forced to attend some dumb coronation " "I thought your brother's was in 16days" "no the crown prince" "oh him, well thats good atleast your chances of being picked as the next crown princess is high" "i dont want to be crown princess, please hand me the dress" "you dont have a choice""thats why im angry, what the point of bieng a damn princess when I'm still under someone, please assist with zip" "thats just how life is" "well I want to oppose life, 'I' object, I will be 'NOONE'S' slave, and 'I' will make a difference___" "should i pass the jewelry box?" "Yes please *sigh*"

There was a moment of silence, then I broke it "Seth ""yes?""you what I'm gonna do" "what" "I'm gonna go to that coronation and show that freaking crown prince who the real boss is""what ever you plan on doing I advice you don't do it"

***********************************************

When I came out everyone was already dressed and ready," what took you so long?" "Well...I was just trying to look very cute and nice for our handsome crown prince and my soon to be husband" "wow, really? That's the spirit!!" "No mom she's being sarcastic " my stupid brother spoke, "Milah!!" "*Gasp* how could I ever to my own mom!!" I said in a very dramatic but believable way, "she's still doing it" "Enough!!!everyone to the car!!" That was dad, his presence always caused a pain drop silence.

The only good thing about my royalty is that we all own our own separate cars, especially when your a teenager, when i was younger Jonathan and i used to be in one call. Now I'm a teenager I have my car and driver. My car drives at the back of the family line of cars to indicate that I'm the youngest. Seth got in the car too, just as an escort she'd return back once I get down.

The journey was silent, both of us on our phones. Maids aren't allowed to have those, but I got her one, she's broken a lot of her maid rules like;

1. Don't be less than 6feets apart from the young miss in gatherings

2. Follow the slaves car to what ever place you are allowed to go

3. Always be formal

4. Gadgets are not allowed all gadgets must be submitted

5. The lady is always right except when she's wrong

Shit like that....

Finally got to the destination. Seth opened the door and I came out. I stared at the large place, the look of it gave me the hibby gibbies. I was about to start my journey into the place when mum held my hand, we walked in, I was about to seat at the back when she pulled me to the front row, "mom I don't like front seats" I said in Marely a whisper, "a leader must__""be ahead? Yeah I know ,she rolled her eyes "just learn the speech you're going to give him when you meet him "" I thought it's just a friendly talk" "yes but you must prepare,are you prepared?" "What do mean I'm I prepared? How I'm supposed to know that I need to prepare to have a friendly talk?" "It's the second topic in princess school how don't you know this?" "I graduated years ago how I'm I supposed to remember?" "And I left way longer than you , so quit making excuses and think of a speech" "ok ok, yeshh"

The program started after a long speech, there was a music interlude, opera to be exact, then i stood up, the moment i stood up, the spotlight flashed on me and everyone started clapping, i froze at this action, I'm flattered they didnt really have to clap!! Interrupting my thoughts was a sudden voice.

"You, your name and your kingdom" it was the crown prince, that explains the clapping. I looked back to see my mom beginning to boil and everyone else looking at me. "Uh, uh I'm uh" then I heard mom whisper "such a disappointment" I got angry, furious but most especially sad, I turned back and began to walk out. "Hey! Come back and answer my question" "No!!!" I shouted back.

When I finally walked passed the shocked crowd, I got in the car. "Hey how'd it go" "what are you still doing here" "oh I decided to wait for you""oh" I took a deep breath and let out a sigh "don't be shocked if my head is requested for" "what do you mean" "I dont really know how to explain this, i walked out on the crown prince" "what do you mean you walked out on the crown prince " "thats not whats important , I'm gonna run away ok? And I want you to keep it a secret, I'm going to run away to a far place, my secret home, I won't tell you the location though but I will tell you where we can meet up if you want to talk" "Milah!!!" "Seth, this is for the better".

The car finally stopped I turned to Seth, "promise that no one will know" "I promise" "pinky promise on your life and your family's life and everything you ever loved that no one I mean NO ONE will ever know" "i guess ?" "No!!!pinky promise " "oh oh" then she promised.

I went to my room and began to pack the necessary thing I will need like my phone and my favourite drawings of my family. I was such th artist as kid I drew my mom, she looked just her heart ugly, I drew my dad he looked just his ego high, and I drew Jonathan for who he was, a pig , then me he only same one amongst mad men. I walked into the bathroom then I opened my secret lock at the back of the closet then I brought the keys to my planB apartment, then I took the keys to my bike. There was a huge bang from the entrance door mom and the others have arrived. I threw the keys under my pillow, "where is she!!!!" I jumped on my bed pretending to be crying, then mom came "no no, don't you cry until I am the cause. How dare you walk out on the crown prince, well he isn't the crown prince anymore. But stil, now he's in search of you, why are you Such a disappointment " "mom!!!""i wish I never had you___w..w..well I mean" that one hit me, "you mean what?" "Huh?""I knew you didn't love me, buh to this extent? I didn't expect it" "Milah__""no! I'll try to change you just do you".

...........,.........

I was in my room around 6pm, still sad, standing in front of the window with my bag at my back. I had already prepared a rope for this operation. So I landed safely, then walked passed the gate, "where are you going your majesty, its past your walk time""oh! Sorry, I just want to talk to a friend, outside and...""ma'am is it your boyfriend?""y..yes?""ok, just 2minutes""thank you your a life saver", then moment i had walked a few meters then mom shouted , "stop!!stop her run away princess!!" It was mom. I picked up the pace with the guards screaming, "run away princess " damn this long dress, I picked up a glass on the floor and tore the dress while running. I sited my bike, I put the key in it, hopped on started the bike and sped, I turned to see the guards gaining up on me, let's see how fast this power bike can go, I hit the gas and boom, so fast.

The problem now was that they gates where closing up. I increased the speed, then I was able to make it out. Though my painting fell from my bag.

Anyways I kept driving, the road was clear and I enjoying the view till I saw they had the COPS involved, I stepped on the gas , then drifted to the left then lost a few, but I still had like 20 behind me, I saw a busy path that only a bike can pass, I turned immediately.

I began to smile til I heard gunshots!!! Damn, these people mean business and I will not die cause of it. I was in the thick side of the bush, so I put the bike on automatic drive and came down leaving it to mislead the followers. My landing was rough, I rolled to a new road side.

I smiled to my self knowing I left them on a wild goose chase, well til the goose's battery dies. I looked at the road side, it was nice, but I need to get out of here . I saw a Lamborghini passing by, I waved it to stop.

The driver rolled down his tinted glass. "um...do you mind hitching me up a ride, I'm late for an important meeting, and i don't wanna be la..." "Where?" "O...oh, um southern part" "oh great I'm going there, coming in" "wow great". I ran to the front seat. The tinted window was perfect.

He gave a quick glance at me, "I have a quick question " "yeah?""are you like, a kidnapper ""great question, yes I am ..""really?""of course not, If I was I won't tell you " "nice point" "so what do you do for a living?""me?" "Yeah you""well I hunt""hunt?and you own a Lamborghini?are you sure YOUR not the kidnapper""nah, I'm a royal hunter""oh so you hunt for royalty ""yeah!""oh, ok, name?""Allen""well, Allen nice to meet...oh shit""what's wrong" nothing do you have space big enough to fit a human body my size in your trunk""ok, what the heck is going on""nothing, i just love entering trunks, too see how um...how big it is", then j jumped at the bavk and using the back seat i ran to the trunk. I squeezed myself in a bunch of clothes. The COPs stopped the car to check the trunk, the open it and looked, "clear!!" Then a spec of dust landed on my nose ,no no not now dumb allergies!! "No wait ! something Is moving within the.." "no, officer ir must be the wind, the materials are so light anything can make it move...." While talking to then he took them away from the trunk as fast as possible. While he was talking I slipped back to the back seat, "...sir, I will have to open the material " "really it not...." "Oh it's clear...sorry sir". He got in and drove off, "thank you so much " "how sure am I that you're not a kidnapper ""all right all right you caught me ""really! ""No! I confess that offended your authority, so I'm running away now""you live in the North Kingdom? ""Yes I'm a princess ""you're quite funny ""I'm not joking""you're right, a princess in tartared gown driving with a commoner , in a commoner's car, and we both know, a princess cannot leave a house without guard escorts ""exactly! That's why I'm running ,that and that's why the cops are chasing me""what the heck would a princess be looking for without guide ""guide!!! ""Okay, now really really..." "Stop the car ""you don't have to get angry ""oh, I'm not angry this is just my destination ".

I came out, then he wind down the glass window "good day princess, and see you around "then he drove off"that's even if you get to see me!! "...
