Royal duties

You got this Evelyn.

I take one deep breath so I can take away these nerves but it only worked slightly.

*Text message*

Lover boy: This is your friendly reminder to not overthink things and trust your gut, you got this, I believe in you... we believe in you.

Nervers? What nerves? I don't remember having any, not after reading that message.

"Open the doors please"

"Yes your highness"

"Please welcome Princess Evelyn Crystal Garnet, who will be in charge of this hearing while your King and Queen are out of town doing important business. I ask you that you treat her with respect and patience, and you will be removed if you don't like what she has to say."

"Make your parents proud your highness"

"Thank you for that introduction and I'll try my best"

"Wow there's a lot of you here today. Ok so I would like all of you to form a line from where the carpet ends to the doors, starting with the more urgent matters that can't be ignored"

"Why do we have to make a line there's too many people for that"

"This is to insure that I can get to everyone and I'll be quick as I can so the people at the back won't stand for to long"

"You did well in there, if your parents saw you in there they would be proud."

"Thanks for that Frank but I highly doubt that but thanks anyway, So what does my parents want me to do next Stella?"

"Um, well they wanted to do this first since they put it down as important, but I thought that we shouldn't leave the people waiting for too long like they normally do, especially with it being warmer than it normally is, and I know that room gets really hot even on the bestest days, and most of the women are pregnant and there wasn't any water they could've drunk-"

"Stella I really appreciate that you did that for them I do, but I have a tight schedule that needs to be done today or my parents won't trust me to do this, I really need to show them I can do this when their not here. So what does my parents want me to do that's so 'important' that it couldn't wait."

"Sorry I tend to ramble on when I'm nervous, but they want you to collect the tax from people, it also states that you'll know what to do when the price isn't met."

Typical that they would put THAT above everything else, I wonder how many lives would be screwed if my parents were in charge, only one way to find out.

"Which one to go to first, any suggestions? Anyone?"

"Stella suggestions?"

"Ummm"

"Frank?"

"You could start-"

"Here's a suggestion, how about Bill's corner shop"

I wonder how long Nick's been watching me but I love and hate it at the same time, but it still brings a smile on my face, he must of scenced that I'm gonna need it or he has great timing can't wait till I'll find out later.

I see Nick leaning on the wall once I turn around, and before I can say something, I catch something with the corner of my eye, at first I thought it was my reflection, but when I turn my head I see Stella staring at Nick with the biggest grin I've seen on her, instantly I know what that grin means, Stella's in love with Nick.

"Princess this is Nick, he's your butler in training and if I may he's doing quite well at it, so you shouldn't have any problems once he's finished training."

"Nick this is your princess, Princess Evelyn Crystal Garnet"

"Thanks Stella for those introductions but we should go, I'm on a tight schedule remember?"

"Yes sorry, bye Nick I'll talk to you later Yeah?"

"Yeah wouldn't miss it, see you around... princess"

"It's great meeting you Nick, and good luck on your training but by the sounds of it you don't need it"

"No, no he really doesn't, it all comes naturally"

"Sounds like you two hang out alot, if my parents didn't have the policy where staff can't date I would've sworn that you two were dating."

Lover boy: How can I date her when my heart's already taken.

"I wish but apparently Nick's heart belongs to another, but he won't say who she is, only that he can't believe that he has her heart."

"You should bring her to the next ball my parents are having when they come home, I'll love to meet her, she sounds too good to be true"

"Aren't you on a tight schedule... highness"

"Yes come on princess before we are behind schedule"

To Bill's corner shop it is then.
