Regal Games

[WSA 2024 Entry] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother?

Pockets

The next morning, Lucia found herself looking at her reflection in the mirror. This felt very familiar. She wondered how many times she would do this in the future. Would this become a part of her routine? She looked down at her clothes. She had decided to dress in a pair of black trouser suits and a silver shirt under a long, knee-length black coat that had a high collar, hugged her from the bosom to the waist before flaring and ending with a flair at her knees. She loved the intricate silver embroidery details at the collar and the hemline of her coat.

Her phone beeped, telling her it was time to head downstairs. She picked it up, put it in her coat pocket, and headed out the door. She did not need a purse. She had pockets. All she needed was her phone, a small amount of cash, her identity card, and a bank card. No one needed a purse for that.
