1259 Words
Being a princess is not that easy, but yeah, it wasn't my choice of being a princess, since I am born a princess, then I have no other choice but to perform the duties of a princess, which were all irrelevant to me. I have to keep my head up, try my possible best not to make eye contact, bow at the guess, smile always even when I am not happy, make friends with other Prince and princesses, and the worse of them all was to always attend the ballroom dance.
" Miss Margaret" I called out for my nanny who was dressing my hair.
"Yes, your Highness" she answered. I hate it when she calls me that wired name" Highness." to be sincere, I don't think that those working in the castle know my actual name, for all they do call me is " Highness".
Miss Margaret!!! please don't call me that, it makes me seems like I am in bondage, I said looking at her with teary eye's, Miss Margaret has been my nanny since when I was a baby, but I don't like the idea of calling her nanny, instead, I call her my assistant, she always takes care of me like if I am her child, she is kind, friendly, beautiful, and when I mean beautiful, I mean God took his time to create her, she has a round figure, which seems to be figure eight or perhaps twelve. Her breast is not small neither is it big, her dark brown eyes complimented her dark brown hair, she has an average height and to make it look more extreme she has a flat stomach, Damm!! Miss Margaret was such a beaut. Today she wore a red long sleeve gown, that wasn't tight at all, the gown wasn't tight, but due to her full curves, she seems like a princess on that gown.
"your highness" you know that being a princess, doesn't mean that you are in bondage, calling you " Highness" is a sign of respect because maybe one day you are going to become a queen," she said.
" Miss Margaret" why did you have to say one day, I asked giving her a questioning look, " Young Highness" I don't think you can become a queen when you keep on behaving like this she said, and we both laugh out loud.
" I have to take my leave now," Margaret said and left the room immediately, causing a frown to appear on my face.
I look at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but wonder how Margaret keep on making a different style of hair for me. My hair was wrap in a very fancy way, and if you get a close view of it, you will find out that, it was raped to look like if a butterfly was at the edge.
" Din don" a doorbell rang, but before I could say come in, the door was already opened. My mom stood at the entrance of the door, with her hands joined together which rested on her stomach, if I am to add to the list of things I hated from being a princess, then this will be my number two hatest.
"Isabella" prince Josh is waiting for you, so I expect you to be down anytime soon, my mom said. she was on a blue gown which has a butterfly design at the edge, my mom has untied her hair, which was shoulder-length, her hair wasn't fixed in a ponytail or whatsoever, she allows her hair to fall on her body, which was now rested on her shoulder. My mom is fair in complexion, an average of height, and very beautiful, Miss Margaret is beautiful, but her beauty isn't compared to that of my Mom, my Mom is the second most beautiful creature I have ever seen because I classify myself as the " first most beautiful human in the whole wide world"
" Mom I am coming" I replied, and she immediately closes my door and left my room.
I hate where my life is going, I said to myself, I am just twenty of age, and my parents want me to get married, a lot of handsome suitors have been coming, but I rejected them all, because I just haven't seen the one I am connected to, and half of those who has requested my hand in marriage was just interested in me because of my body. I am beautiful because I know that, I wasn't fair in complexion, neither was I dark in complexion, I am confused about my skin color because it's supposed to be fair, but I end up becoming something like white. I am always in my room, library or garden....in all I just haven't left the castle for once, my parents do tell me that they usually take me outside to socialize with other kids when I was young, but according to them, they said the sun affected me, which made me to almost lost my life.
While growing up from the age of fifteen, they do take me outside the castle to feed my eyes, but I always end up looking at other kids while I sit in the car. I didn't even know what to call it, but they just don't let me leave the car, so I haven't left the castle.
I recall one incident the happened sometime back when I was ten. My parents weren't paying attention to me, when they took me out to feed my eyes, the car driver was pressed so he asked them for permission to go and use the restroom outside the car. They allow him, and due to them being busy with their stuff, I sneak out of the car and ran to a nearby house.
Immediately the house owner and his children saw me, they all shift back, they started behaving like if they saw a ghost and not just a ghost, but a scary ghost who's about to take their lives.
I stood there looking at them in confusion, but all of a sudden I felt a soft hand wrap my waist, I didn't need to look up to figure who was that because I know my Mom's scent and how her hands feel like. My Dad came inside the house, some minutes later and apologizes to the household. He kept on chanting the word " sorry for the inconveniences", which I just felt like passing out because of his words.
They dragged me outside the house, and my mom gave me a heavy slap on my cheek, my mom was already in tears, and I couldn't help but cry also. From that day, my dad banned me from following them outside. The only days I do follow them out, is when we are invited to the red carpet or other kingdom ball dance.
"Your Highness" prince Josh is waiting for you, Margaret said, which made me snap out of my thought immediately.
"I will be down in the next five minutes," I said, and Margaret bow before walking away.
I look at the mirror again, for the fifth times, I breathe out, I adjust my ink blue gown before resting my hands on my stomach, I quickly remove it from where it rested, and adjust my gloves, I am Nervous when speaking to boys, so I breathe out again, saying.
" Isabella, are you ready" and I shake my head before saying "ready" with a smile on my face.
