Stacey

"Please mother", Stacey jumped Infront of the empress again.

"Stacey, go sit somewhere", Irene told her daughter.

"But mother all girls at the age of eleven will be attending RSA why can't I also attend?", Stacey asked.

"You have to convince me. Is that not what you are best at doing?", Irene asked with a smirk on her face.

"I will have to marry a noble man since brother David is to inherit the throne. But how am I to find a handsome noble man if I am stuck here. Plus, how am I to learn to associate with other people if I am stuck here at the time where I am to be out meeting other people and learning other things. Please mother", Stacey said in a calm quiet tone and her mother rolled her eyes.

"Laura, pack up Stacey's trunk", the empress said smiling at Stacey and she jumped and hugged her mother.

Stacey wanted to go to school because she had missed her brother who is her half brother. David's birth mother died due to some strange outbreak which disappeared just as it appeared and Irene married the emperor after. She took care of the young prince as her own and when she gave birth to Stacey, David and Stacey have been very close.

Stacey helped Laura, her lady-in-waiting, to pack her trunk. She kept talking about all the things she will do when she went there.

"You are one strange child Stacey. Other kids will be happy not to attend boarding school but here you are gushing about a school where you will be limited to somethings", Laura laughed.

"Well I did think about it. But id brother David was able to do cope I guess I'm will be no exception", she happily said.

"His highness the crown prince does not attend a finishing school rather a school for male students", Laura told her.

"Are they not on the same compound? So I will still have a few classes with him if we clash and I will still see him", Stacey happily said and Laura smiled.

"I guess I cannot change your mind", she smiled.

"Nope", Stacey said.

The Next Day

"Do take good care of yourself mother. And whenever you need me, don't hesitate to write to me. I will be sure to reply you correctly", Stacey told her mother.

"Are you talking about work although you are going far away?", her mother smiled.

"I can solve maths anywhere. Whether it being wages of lenders or banquet planning", Stacey joked and her mother laughed.

"I see you found out the reason I did not want to let you go", Irene said.

"Of course. I am the only person in this empire who can work that fast and still get everything accurate. I am the youngest treasurer of the empire who started working at the age of nine", Stacey happily said.

"Stop rubbing it in my face and hurry. Your carriage awaits you", her mother said. Stacey pulled her mother into a hug and cursty before she left.

She smiled as she sat in the carriage happily moving towards a new life.
