Chapter 2
First thing the next morning I was already at the airport ready to go, mom didn't even say a simple goodbye. No wonder she processed everything in one night just to make sure I was far away from her.
"Make sure you don't cause any trouble because if you ever get sent back to me I will make sure I dump you on the street. And also you now have the access to the account that was opened under your name, if I were you I will use it wisely" that was all she said before she left.
I stood there staring at her car until I couldn't see it again. I turned and headed inside before they will leave me behind. All the while on the plane I was tensed and a little scared. What other phrase of life am I going to see.
I was told a driver will pick me up ones I arrived at the airport. But there are too many people here how do I find this driver. Am also finding it hard to carry all my luggage, my mom made sure I packed every of my belongings. I was about giving up on finding this driver guy when I saw a man on suit. He has paper boldly written "PRINCESS MIA" on it. Just the name on the paper alone was calling people's attention, that minutes I thanked God I was wearing a hoodie and I quickly covered my face and walk up to him.
"Hi, I am Mia" I said extending my hands to him for a handshake but instead of taken my hands he smiled and bowed.
"Your highness, welcome. This way please and let me handle your luggage for you" he said
"No, my name is Mia, no princess attached to it and no calling me your highness. I should be the one showing my respect I mean you are old enough to be my father" I told him because everything was weird.
"You have the royal blood and all royals are to be respected" he said before he started putting my luggage in a very beautiful car he came with.
"But I still prefer my name, am not a princess" I said before I entered the car and we drove off.
Getting to the cattle two maidens followed me while the others carried my luggage. They lead the way while I followed, then they stop and bowed to a man who was standing at the hall way but he had his back on us. Am guessing this is my father the mighty king.
He turned and stared at me for a while, I heard no idea what to do or say so I stared back at him. I couldn't help wondering if he hate me as mom did.
"Eva"
"Yes your highness"
He said and the two ladies that came in with me the one standing on my left hand answered him with her head bowed.
"Tessa"
"Yes your highness"
The other one on my right answered the exact way the first one did.
"See that the princess gets the best room and help her to unpack her luggage. Also see that the design gets here tomorrow to do something about her dressing, she needs to dress like a princess if she is going to be here" my father said looking like my dressing irritates him.
I was wearing my hoodie and my favourite sports pant wear, I know I looked like I was about to go for a morning run but spare me the shit I hate gowns, I don't like them and I don't even own one.
I can't believe I have to wear those big looking ball gowns princesses wear, oh Jesus please save me out of this. I said a little prayer before waiting to see what my father have to say.
He kept staring at me with no smiling face, his face doesn't look happy nor angry to see me.
"Welcome Mia, you are to begin your princess duties tomorrow and Eva and Tessa are your personal maidens. They will see to your feeding, fix you a bath when needed and inform you when there is a ball or an occasion. All the assistance you want or need they will be at your service"
He said was without even blinking.
"Quick question please, what am I supposed to call you"
"Mia, I am your father" he said giving me the answer I was looking for.
"Okay father please I object please no one picks my clothes for me and what princess duties are you talking about?" I asked trying to set things straight.
"You will know until tomorrow"
"Your highness may I remind you that we have a ball tomorrow" The lady addressed as Tessa said
"That is true, you must prepare her I need to introduce her to my friends. Then maybe in no time we will find a perfect March for her" he said with smile on his face.
What did he mean he will find a perfect March for me. Then it hit me no, no, no, no!!!! Wait is he trying to marry me off at this age. That was why he wanted me back at age sixteen because he can marry me off to another kingdom and gain more power.
"Look your highness or whatever you call yourself or should i call you dad, let me ask for a favour don't mess with me. Am a little crazy sometimes so if you know all the stupid plan you have on your head that is not on my favour drop it" I said surprising him and the two ladies beside me.
"What did you just say?" Didn't your mother teach you some manners?" He asked looking furious.
But who cares this is my life and I must have a say in my own life.
"No she did not, she was too busy chasing after her dreams to do that and here I was thinking you were different but no you are even worst" I said to him and turned to the two ladies beside me.
"Take me to my room, now!!!" I turned and started heading upstairs not waiting for them to bow to this man I called a father.
When I got to my room the two ladies tried to help me and unpack but I dismissed them. I wanted to be alone. I think is time I accept that am not wanted but before I leave there are thing I need to do. First i need to see my twin brother, I wonder were to find him.
I started unpack my bags but not all, I knew my days here is numbered. Is time I face the truth, my family doesn't want me but why. After setting few of my things in my room I decided to take a bath before going in search of my brother.
I wanted to try and fit in but after hearing what my father said I changed my mind. So I dressed the way I love dressing, I put on my jean pant and a crop top, putting my hair in a ponytail I headed down. After walking around for a while I think I got lost. This cattle is big, then I saw a girl about my age but am guessing she workss here.
"Excuse me, my name is Mia and am kind of looking for the Prince Andrew" I told the girl.
She smiled and lead the way without saying anything. After walking for a while she said something that surprised me.
"You know if you want to seduce the Prince that is not the best clothes to wear, you should go for something princess like and exposing" she said with a wide smile on her face.
"Thanks for the advice but am not here to seduce the Prince and if I ever thought of that I will definitely take your advice" I replied her. She doesn't know me and my dressing made it seem worst because I caught her few times staring at it.
"So am guessing you are a guest in the palace or wait did you come with the princess. I really want to meet her or make her my friend"
"Yes am a guest and i came with the princess as a matter of fact she told me to find her brother and inform her that she just arrived" I decided to go with the flow .
"Wow, can we be friends, well maybe you can help me make the princess my friend" she said with excitement. Why do she want to be friends with the princess.
"Yes we can be friends and I will make sure to tell the princess about you" I said immediately she showed me my brother's room.
"Thank you so much by the way my name is Jennifer and is nice meeting you" she said before she left.
I stood outside the door for a while, we haven't seen each other in so many years. And also why is ladies trying to seduce the Prince, a sixteen year old teenage boy, that's strange.
I knocked, at first no one answered but I didn't give up so quick. After a while someone opened the door. Immediately i saw him I recognized him, he looked a lot like my mother. I stared at him for a while and he stared back, then he looked me from head to toe and the first thing he said was.
"What are you wearing?" He asked
"Clothes" I replied him and walked pass him and entered his room.
