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?

More Than He Wanted Her

[Warning! Will get slightly NSFW... don't say I didn't warn you]

With dinner over, Lucia and Michael excused themselves and went back to the car. Their driver had left and a new one had come back with a smaller car that did not draw attention to itself… If you discounted the fact that it had a pair of cars escorting it. Lucia said nothing. Sometimes they used more visible security, sometimes they did not. It was something she noticed but did not worry about. She looked behind herself in time to see the large gates closed behind her family's estate and then looked beside her at Michael.

He was looking at his phone and to spare the driver in front of them the glare of that light, they had the privacy screen up. Lucia looked out her window and instead of seeing the buildings outside, she saw her reflection on the window. She looked at the brown-haired and brown-eyed girl without a lot of interest.
