The Princess I am

My life has always been the same,today is the same as yesterday and tomorrow will be also the same as today,waking up, doing my duties as a princess, smiling to all , learning my courtesies and falling asleep as a slog . Many people dream of being a princess, I always hear my slaves talking about it , the little girls that are a low born that lives in my castle, they always think that it is all about crowns, lilen gowns and charming princes to fall in love , but the reality is far from this , the reality is a nightmare.

My father ,the almighty emperor was once just a Dominion who ruled over a small island called Mathey. He and the likes of him are counted as a low born but got to be one of the 7 councillor in the Angeldom. And my mother ,she got no history to tell, no royal family , she was just a human, a human girl that was wondering the earth part that my father was helping the human king.

So what does that makes me? it makes me a Nephilim, the great and rare creature, half human and half angel. that is why my father became the great emperor , that all feared and respect. It was all because of my birth. The moment I was born, the emperor Michael didn't waste a minute to give the throne to my father. We didn't understand his reasons till this day.

Ever since then our family became , the centre in the universe. Angels come and go to be either our alley or enemy, but their main target is me , to either kill me or ask for my hand . And most of them doesn't know that I am a Nephilim.

And for these two reasons being a princess had become the most stressful thing in the universe. the guards always will watch me , every steps I take ,every wall I pass by ,every room I cross will inspected by my especially trained 12 soldiers, before I enter or after I leave. The food that I eat ,the water I drink ,even my day to days clothes would be closely inspected. And don't get me started the princes and the noble men , and the kings that came for my hand . whether they are old or young, a high born or a low , a knight or a king , a human or an angel. I need to show them the same respect and courtesy, have a brunch and a dinner with them , laugh at their jokes and talk about politics and history.

I need to know everything and everything, my mind must be always sharp , I need to be close to the information that happens around the universe, I need to know the history of this king , or this angel, or that human empire . My clothes are always silk and linen, the best ones that came from the part of the earth only the knight Angels walk to. I am not to allowed to be messy or careless, I am not allowed to speak before spoken ,or to raise my voice , I am not allowed to show my true emotion or to let my emotion took over me.

Yes I admit being a princess might be all royal and magical , but the truth is , it is not magical, not at all. you need to be cautious about everything , your surrounding , what spill out of your mouth, how others are watching you ..everything.

"Princess your father wants to see you" the maid bowed

" Why is that? did something happened " for a moment my heart leapt out of my chest . If something happened to my father , my life would be hell, I must wed some angel the council see feet, and I will raise his kids , while he rule sitting on my thrown . It is not me me but he will rule , damn the rules. when I reached the door the maid tried to cover my face with vile, no unmarried woman should roam outside her own chambers unveiled.

"Leave the damn thing, you think I care ?" she flinched and backed away . As I make my way to my father's chamber, the passerby angels where looking at me like I have gone mad. But in their stares, the eyes are telling me something else that the mouths can't utter. Something is bad , very bad. I started to run , 'run fast or it will be all to late'

The first thing I saw when I reached the hall to my father's chamber was that the guards posted outside the door were not ours. Why ? I struggled to cover my face as I walk , run ?

"Who are you , you can't enter to the traitors room " one of the guard stepped in front of the door his eyes fixed above my head.

" And who the hell are you , I am the princess and the angel you called traitor is the emperor himself , the ruler of the world , how dare you .." I couldn't finish what I started .

He smirked without looking me in the eye, he thinks i am talking funny. he is not much taller than me , may be by an inch or two . he wore a deep violet robe that trailed to the floor , a single thin rope around his waist , that is all he wore by guess of it . He is not armed but he got a long sword as tall as him, the handle in a shape of a scary bat , the steel shining when it catch the dusk sun . He got a strong jaw , deep black brown eyes , actually just an eye , I don't know where the other is, but instead of an eye ball , there is a deep hollow , that seems to go on forever . A scar go in a line starting from the end of his mouth to the other end. The other guard is the same as this one from the bottom to the top.

He opened the door and stepped aside still smirking, if this happened any other day I would make sure that he would be bound by fire chains , dragged all through the big markets and gathering places , to show everyone what fate awaits them if they question the princess. But now is not the time.

"Our king will surely enjoy this beasty" said the first guard that talked to me. Beasty? who will be enjoying me ? this is all I heard before he locked the door behind me . What the hell is this .

"Open this fucking door ,you idot I demand to see who your king his " I banged the door with all the force I had

" Bring your king to me and I will give him the taste of his like " I kicked and banged the door , all I got was laughter . these fools thinks that this is funny

"Saba, p-pl-please s-stop"

"Papa, what happened..papa! w-what happened to your wings" What I saw before me filled me with horror. I never saw my father this weak and helpless , all his grace had vanished with his wings. His shoulder is hunched in an awkward way. His left wing has been clean cut off , but the other was jagged many times , some bones been left uncut poking out ,flesh dangling from them.

"shhh child , now is not for you to ask questions. you have to listen to me carefully "

"Papa who did this to you , what happened?" tears filled my eyes , I never thought this would happen in my wildest nightmare. I couldn't understand a single thing that was happening . One minute I was in my room ,studying modern history and the next , I been mocked by some ugly one eye guard and my father is off without his wings

"sweetheart , you will get to know everything in a while, we don't have time now , I must tell you a secret how I become an emperor and why the creator disappeared as also Michael the True Archangel" ...he winced as he tried to move and I was by his side in heart beat . " but you need to promise me first that after hearing this you would marry the new king "
