So this was a sham so I won’t know my real worth, they knew I was worth more than what they made me believe. “Why would no one tell you that? Didn’t you read about it or trained about that part?” Jade said to me but I didn’t know how to explain to Jade that I was trained to act like a rebel and didn’t bother to even read about the royal history.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. "Jade, I have to be honest with you. I was never trained or educated about royal history or my role as a future queen. I was raised to believe that I was nothing more than a rebel, someone who didn't belong in the palace."Jade looked at me with surprise and concern. "That's terrible. They've been keeping you in the dark about your true worth and potential. But now that you know, Naomi, you have a choice to make. You can either continue to let them treat you as insignificant, or you can stand up for your right to the throne."I pondered his words for a moment. The idea of standing up to the

The room seemed to grow quieter as Rachel closed in, and I could feel the tension building. My grip on Reuben's hand tightened, seeking comfort and reassurance in his presence.Rachel stopped in front of us, her eyes locked with Reuben's. Her voice was laced with a mix of sweetness and arrogance as she spoke, "Reuben, my love, I see you've found yourself a new plaything."Her words stung, and I could feel my heart breaking with each syllable. I knew that Rachel had been a part of Reuben's life before, but I had hoped that our love would be enough to keep her away. Yet here she stood, determined to reclaim what she believed was hers.Reuben's grip on my hand never wavered, and his voice held a firmness that betrayed his underlying emotions. "Rachel, our time together is over. I have found true love in Naomi, and I will not be swayed."Rachel's smile twisted into a sneer, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and contempt. "You think this commoner can provide for you? She is nothing compa

The next morning, I walked back into the training room, determined to continue my journey towards becoming a queen, despite the obstacles in my path. But to my disappointment, it seemed that no one was willing to teach me. The trainers and courtiers avoided my gaze, their reluctance evident.I felt a mix of frustration and determination welling up within me. I couldn't let their lack of support deter me from my goal. If no one was willing to teach me, then I would have to take matters into my own hands.With a resolute mindset, I walked over to the bookshelf in the corner of the room and began browsing through the collection of books. I selected a thick volume titled "The Duties and Responsibilities of a Queen" and settled down at a nearby table.I flipped open the book and started reading, absorbing the knowledge and insights it contained. As I read, I realized that there was so much more to being a queen than I had initially thought. It wasn't just about wearing a crown and making a

As the weight of Belen's accusations and the crowd's rejection continued to weigh heavily on my heart, I found myself unable to bear the pain any longer. The room felt suffocating, each breath a struggle against the disappointment and betrayal that engulfed me.By midnight, I had made up my mind. I couldn't bear the thought of facing another day filled with doubt and skepticism. It seemed that being queen was an impossible dream, one that I was not meant to fulfill. With a heavy heart, I began to pack my belongings, ready to leave it all behind.But just as I was about to give up completely, the door to my chambers swung open, and Martha, my personal assistant, rushed in. Her eyes were filled with concern and determination as she took in the sight of my packed bags."Naomi, please," Martha pleaded, her voice filled with a mixture of worry and desperation. "You can't give up now. You're meant to be the queen this kingdom needs. You have the strength and the vision to bring about real c

“What’s your final decision, Naomi?” My father asked as I thought about all they had just said thoroughly.“I won’t go back there, I don’t want to be their future queen,” I said with determination oozing out of me.As the words left my lips, I could sense a mix of disbelief and disappointment in the room. My mother's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, as if unable to comprehend my decision. But despite the shock, I was met with unwavering support from my family.My father nodded, his eyes filled with pride. "Naomi, we respect your decision," he said, his voice filled with admiration. "It takes courage to go against the expectations and choose your path. We will stand by you, no matter what."Tears welled up in my mother's eyes as she reached out to embrace me. "Oh, Naomi," she whispered, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and acceptance. "I had hoped for a different future for you, but I understand that this is your choice. Just remember, we will always be here for you."With
