Chapter Four

Me and my mom unfortunately had to split off from one a other at the entrance of the castle. The king, not minding his position at all, was there and walked me to the playroom the first prince was at. I wondered what the prince was like, would he be kind? Gentle? Funny? He couldn't be terrible right? The king wouldn't have an evil son right?

The prince was named Arthur, and he had brown hair just like his father, and grey eyes too. He was two years older then me, and his younger brother was my age but he was sickly and with his mother today. I believe the second prince's named Christopher but I'm not sure.

"I don't want to play with her! She probably can't even read and I want to read today!" The boy instantly cries out to his father, and I had to fight the nerve to yell at the boy. I turned to the king, but he had already taken off and the maid was the only one standing there with an apologetic look on her face. Sighing I turned to the prince and spoke harshly to him since of his attitude.

"I can rwead and wite actoolly. I can awlso hear as well." I reply tersely and the prince stares at me, probably shocked at the snap. I'm sorry, I'm supposed to be the adult, but he is a brat! S-shut up I am not deflecting, I am not! Anyways I am not coming back here again! S-SHUT UP! I am not avoiding this embarrassing display shut up!

"Oh yeah! I bet your lying! You can't even talk right!" He snaps but his face is now flushed red from the embarrassment. Internally I was both happy and angry because he was a prick and easily embarrassed. And no it was not in that order, happiness should always be said first after all! S-shut up! I can say it however I want!

"I 'as aw w'isp... Ugh! You are impossibleu!" I tried to talk clearly but it was almost impossible right now! UGH! I am going to practice talking when I get home to get rid of this lisp! Ergghhhhh I will hurt you king for forcing me to be near this annoying boy! W-wait I can't actually do anything about it! This childs body hinders me again! Fine activate ignoring powers on that mean king!

"See you can't even talk well!" He laughs at me, and I storm towards him and get right up into his face and snarl.

"Oh woook te nowble pwince is picking on te younger girl!" Then after he recoiled at the heavy sarcasm I stormed to a corner of the room and sat with a book and ignored him. I totally wasn't embarrassed about my lisp, shut up!

When my mother picked me up she had apparently heard what had happened and seemed stiff with the king when he saw us out. I also noticed the first prince was lingering at the top of the grand staircase, most probably plotting other ways to infuriate me. I wanted to stick my tongue out at him, but unfortunately I couldn't stoop to his level. S-shut up I just don't want to be seen so childishly it has nothing to do with not wanting to make the king angry

***

I still couldn't get a read on the king. Something told me there was something dangerous everytime he was near me. I knew it was irrational that it was him, so I assume someone near him is dangerous. The king to me looks like a goofball who dotes on his family a little too much. However he is also a highly capable king, he is experienced in war, and is an articulate speaker. He was also good with management and was seen as the best king this country has had since it's founding.

Whenever you look at the king all you see is the goofball side, but I felt like he was just a wolf in sheep's clothing. Anyways I guess it doesn't matter, I don't intend to hang around much. There's no way I'd have to right?

***

The first year at the castle passed by quickly. The Queen had a healthy baby boy, and was excited to play with him. Although I heard from mom she was disappointed that it wasn't a girl.

Mom was putting in a lot of work now, and we would frequently get home incredibly late so the king offered that we simply stay at the castle. My mother agreed because of exhaustion and the king had all our things here the next day and the house sold. I guess he didn't want my mom to back out of the idea. I had to laugh at her expression when she saw that. I-I got attacked with the pinching of the cheeks. S-shut up I'm not crying!

***

Within the first year I read all about the history of this world, and it was amazing that there were few wars. However this world had no religion and that stopped most of the wars, because there weren't holy wars and religious ones. The only wars that happened were territory and vengeance wars. So this world was incredibly quiet compared to my last one.

***

After reading about history I read math works. This world's math was the same as college level, and I had always been good at that, so I didn't spend much time there. After that I began my study of there ettiquete... I know I need to learn it, so I practiced it diligently... S-shut up I didn't sneak off to the fiction section! S-shut up! I know I need to learn it but I'm still a kid I want to enjoy my days! W-what well, I am an adult in my mind but... Oh fine call me lazy if you like!

During this time frame I also managed to get rid of that irritating lisp, and for that I was incredibly proud.
