Anda walked soundlessly down the hall just as she has been taught. A lady never makes sound with her feet. Ignoring the servants staring at her. Some new faces while some were the old judgy ones who thought she didn't deserve to be born a Costa, Well... She didn't want to be born one.
One... Two.. three.. she breathed in as she walked into the office. Her father was sitting with his back to her.
It was the same. Nothing had changed in here. The same frame of her mother was hanging perfectly in its place at the wall.
His father's prize.
He boasted of his wife so much that Everyone in Dullard knew just how much Samuel De Costa loved his wife.
"Goodevening Pops" Anda greeted. Her voice breathless. She was the only one who didn't address her parents Formally.
"Miranda, I knew Judith wouldn't fail to bring you home" He smiled standing up. He was a tall huge man who looked like a giant standing before petite Anda.
"Did you have to to drag me back here? You promised to leave me alone if I got a buisness degree" Anda pulled off the annoying wig sitting down on one the couch glaring at her father.
"I've let you have your freedom for six years and that's enough.. we needed you home"Samuel replied.
"Why would you need me?" Anda asked pulling off her shoes.
"Miranda" The door opened and her mother walked in.
The rich red hair flowing down her waist and her arms opened. Anda hugged her briefly before sitting down.
"What have you done to your hair? It doesn't matter.. it just need to grow back before the wedding"April De Costa said sitting down beside her husband.
" who's getting married? Tatiana? I thought James got married six months ago to Sharon" Anda looked at them curiously.
"You didn't tell her?" April stared at her husband.
"I haven't gotten a chance to tell her yet, she is pissed that we dragged her home, it's a good thing we can tell her now" Samuel smiled taking Anda's hands into his own.
" Well? "April looked at her husband.
" Tell her"Samuel urged his wife.
"Can you talk to me? Are you getting a second wife?" Anda demanded impatiently.
" You are getting married"Samuel smiled.
" Wow..I'm not dating Adam or anyone at the moment..I'm sorry if you're mistaken"Anda laughed.
" Oh..not to him,To Crown Prince Henry Don Fisco"April said and walked to the window.
Anda let it sink in before exploding.
"What do you mean by I'm getting married? I'm only twenty-seven,I haven't even enjoyed my youth.I thought Tatiana was engaged to him so why am I getting married to my sister's betrothed?" Anda Demanded.
"Tatiana is pregnant and she got wedded privately last month,We have been looking for you since then to inform you" April explained.
"Who Is stupid enough to marry off a De Costa without your approval unless you knew all along" Anda glared at her father.
"The priest..you know he's the only one who hates me enough to wed my daughter without asking for my consent"He answered.
The Priest and Father was known to be enemies who was always at each other's neck but no one really knew why.
"He did it to spite your father and now the king wants to wed his son to his betrothed" April said.
"You can go to him and explain everything to him" Anda smiled.
"We can't..He gave your father the land he built his first automobile company on and he's ready to give us the Landon land to build the next one...If he finds out his son's betrothed have been married off..imagine the fury that will follow...not only on us but also on your sister and her husband"April Explained.
" I don't care..I'm getting on the first flight and I'm leaving Dullard first thing in the morning"Anda smiled.
" Fine,You can leave but it's a good thing we have another daughter"Samuel replied.
Anda froze on her steps.
" Arianna is only Nineteen,you're not going to marry her off"Anda looked at her parents.
" Eighteen is the legal age to get married in Dullard so No one will say anything..All we have to do is withdraw her from college.. she started two weeks ago so it's not too late to withdraw her" Samuel smiled sitting down.
"You're threatening me" Anda whispered.
"Anda,Imagine the Queen of Dullard..Having every thing at your disposal, Giving birth to the future king of Dullard..the Respect,The love and Envy..imagine the power in your hands" April held her daughter's shoulder.
"That also means I'll be stuck here forever,never getting on the tracks again ..no..no..do whatever you want with Anna,She's more suitable to be queen anyway .you said it..she's Nineteen and can legally get married" Anda smiled walking out of the office.
She'd known her parents had some motive to bring her back but she never imagined it was to get married in place of her selfish sister.
No.
She will never give up her freedom to live stuck in a castle breeding children that looked like freckled faced Nelson who she was taller than when they were kids.she wouldn't marry the boy who she bullied so much for his skinny and small body.
Nelson Don Fisco sat on the floor watching the cats play fight rolling each other on the ground.The Sky was always bright in Dullard and that was what he enjoyed most sitting on the grass privately watching his cats Freya and Chase play.Away from the castle and his father. At Twenty-Nine, He couldn't believe he was going to get married and not even to beautiful Tatiana but to her younger sister who teased him about his height and weight.Miranda had grown faster and Taller Making other kids see her as the leader while they were growing up. She'd being a tomboy who led them into the bushes for hunt and fishing. Who knew how tall she would be now.Surely, As tall and huge as her father. No, He wasn't going to marry her.Suddenly something got fell on the tree but got stuck. He heard a string of curses and groans.Standing up and stopping under the tree to get a good look, He saw short bubble hair first hanging upside down and the owner was hanging by her gown."Hi.." She smiled waving
"mmmmmmh" Miranda moaned as someone tried to shake her away from her beautiful dream of running in the sun around the garden."If you don't get up this minute, I'll throw a bucket of water in your face" April De Costa threatened."Mama.. what is it?" Anda asked."I heard you entered the mansion by 4:55 this morning.. where were you all night?" April asked."Mommy dearest, you didn't think I would tell you right?" Anda smiled sleepily."I hope you're not racing, Nelson caught some thief who claimed to be a cousin and I hope to God it's not you" April stood up gesturing the maids to come in."Who?" Anda suddenly woke up from dozing off."Nelson Don Fisco, Said she slipped from him,If he finds out that he's fiancee was climbing the fence..I'm going to cut down that apple tree,I don't know why your father wants to keep it even though he knows you always run away from there" April threw the blankets off her widening her eyes in horror." What? Last night was hot and I love sleeping naked"A
Anda walked out of her bedroom in sweatpants and singlet tired from last night party and forced smiles to receive congratulations. "Mmmmh, it's a nice way to start the morning with how successful the engagement party was"Her father smiled showing off her picture in the front page of the newspaper he was reading. " We are almost the king's in law.. the Royal in laws, I'm so proud of you"Ariana hugged her before sitting down. " Watch the way you act in public and please... Don't get involved in any scandal, Why would wear such simple clothes for breakfast? "April looked at her in disapproval. " I'm tired and I just want to eat and go back to sleep"Anda muttered mouthful. " We have a wedding to plan.. Do I need to start teaching you how to eat and act around people again? "April glared at the way her daughter was eating. " Why are we planning the wedding? Why the rush? "Anda asked. " So you won't change your mind and run away making me go into a marriage I'm not prepared for"Ariann
"The flying Princess?"Samuel De Costa shouted at his daughter throwing the magazine at her feet.April and Judith shuddered in fear while the offender stared at her father defiantly."I was just trying to help the old lady.. what if something important was in the bank, Shouldn't Dullard be the safest place in the world? Why is some measly thief stealing in daylight" Anda asked."Is there really a place without crime?Dullard is safe but offenders appear from time to time" Samuel stared at his daughter angrily "And I helped, I caught a thief and got an old lady's bag" Anda shrugged smiling.The door opened and Nelson walked in."My prince" The rest bowed lightly while Anda rolled her eyes."To what do we owe this pleasant visit?" Samuel asked."The Queen sent me to deliver her message, She wants Miranda to enter the Dillion"Nelson answered." What's that? Where's the Dillion? "Anda asked standing up." The new palace"April smiled clapping lightly in happiness."The Queen wasn't pleased
"leave me alone.." Anda moaned swapping at the hand that continued to push her.The person didn't give up and continued poking her."I'm up.. I'm up"Anda threw her hands up sitting up with sleepy eyes."My princess, You need to be at the dinning hall In Forty minutes, You really need to stand up and wear your dinner gown before Ellen comes in here"The timid voice whispered and Anda looked at the Thin girl with brown her and big cotton eyes." Who are you? "Anda asked."Oh ..I'm pearl,Your handmaid..Miss Ellen assigned me to you" The big eyed pale looking beauty smiled." So why am I getting dressed for a simple dinner?"Anda stood up slowly stretching herself." Because you're almost part of the royal family and the royals dress elegantly for dinner..This is your dinner gown"Pearl pointed at a corset ball gown that made Anda bust into laughter." I'm not wearing that just for minutes of dinner..nah,"Anda tied her hair in a ponytail.Pearl watched her curiously as she pulled on a combat
Anda stared at the guards standing at the gate calculating how long it would take before she would be able to escape.The only way was to confidently leave."You don't think they'll let you leave the palace when it's already late, Nobody leaves the palace when it's past 8pm"The Prince said." Go Away, I have somewhere important to be"Anda rolled her eyes." You just asked the only ticket to your freedom to go away"The prince turned away."Common..I didn't mean to go away,I really need to go"Anda held him." Let's go"Nelson replied." Minute,I need to change"Anda ran back to the house taking several turns until she reached her room.She went to the dressing room to dig out her leather pants and sweatshirt.Someone touched her and she held the strange hand and threw the intruder over her shoulder landing the person on the ground."Awwwn" Pristine groaned in pain."Oh my God,I'm so sorry.. sorry, sorry,sorry" Anda apologized profusely helping the poor lady to sit on the bed." It's oka
Anda stood up from her bed immediately she heard a small knock on her door, She opened the door and Nelson walked in.It was almost dawn."Where's she?" Anda asked."Somewhere safe.. listen to me, you must keep tonight a secret and make sure you don't ever speak about it to anyone, I know my mother is very dangerous that's why I try so hard to keep out of their buisness" Nelson replied."How about reporting them to the police? We can gather evidence from her room as she said,Your Father not only defiled her,Your mother took her baby and brother.."Anda said sitting down." You think that's easy?my parents are not just ordinary people.They own Dullard.They are the Royal family and they run the country.the only way to stop them is becoming King.And in Three years,My father will become 70 and hand over the thrown as the law states and we will change everything"Nelson said." Three years?that's a fucking long time to stop the evil queen"Anda stood up frustrated." The only way is to impeac
Anda walked into her room smiling. It was the D-Day, She was finally going to be on track."Princess Miranda, Where have you been? We combed the entire Dillion searching for you,it's 1:30pm"Pearl followed her into the room.Anda stared at the bustled dress on her bed and looked at Pearl curious."Did something happen? A party? Why is this here?" Anda asked."You were supposed to wear the peach one to breakfast and the yellow one to see The Queen"Pearl answered." I will never wear one of these to eat, I wouldn't able to digest anything.. how am I supposed to sit down"Anda shook her head." If you don't do it.. there will be complications, You're the princess now, you have to start acting like one"Pearl said.The door opened and The queen entered the room dressed in a bustled green gown and hand gloves.Anda internally shook her head at how stuffed The queen looked."Goodafternoon Mother" Anda placed her smile on her face kissing The Queen's cheeks."How was your night?" The Queen asked
