Open Doors

Being a queen doesn't mean living the life of the rich, it's not a thing were you find your happily ever after. Sometimes it may contain blood, hate, and betrayal, even from the ones closest to you.

For me, I never wanted that life, I never wanted to feel the hate, I never wanted to feel the people's eyes like daggers on my back, I never wanted to feel fearful that I would be betrayed one day. But yeah, sometimes you don't have a control on your own life, that's how it was for me since I've seen the light for the first time. There was nothing called life to me. I was like an object to my parents, I should always look and act in a perfect picture and never say no to anything, but It looks like every thing will change due tomorrow, when the doors will be opened and the throne will be prepared, I will be there, waiting to be crowned as the new princess of the Lost Kingdom. Today will be my last day of freedom, my last day in this room, my last day walking inside this kingdom, tomorrow I will not just be crowned as a princess, but also I am going to be married to the Prince of the Gothic Kingdom, which mean if I even had a life here it's all going to have an end tomorrow. I close my eyes slowly trying to fall asleep, trying to find the peace I always wanted, dreaming about somebody who can wipe my tears and comfort me with a hug. While I am slowly drifting to sleep I started to feel like someone or something was staring at me, the sound of their footsteps coming closer and closer until I felt a very sweet kiss on my lips, I opened my eye's to see the stranger but there was no one in there, only darkness, but I swear the kiss felt so reall, I closed my eye's again and prayed for something that can change every thing.

I woke up on the sound of Gates opening, today is the day that my life depends on it. My dress is already on my door, the servants are working at their best while the screams of my parents resound in the walls of the kingdom. I slowly walked toward my dress, tears streaming like hot water down my cheeks, I can't believe they are going to do this to me.

One of the maids helped me getting prepared for the party, putting on my makeup, my jewelry, evreything. I was standing in the middle of my room waiting for the words, waiting for my sign to go out, thinking of all the ways to ruin evreything, that's when the sound came out, calling me:"And may I represent to you, the Princess of the Lost Kingdom, my daughter Sina." I started walking down the stairs toward the ballroom were the event was meant to be. I started looking at the guests, nobody I've seen before, hearing all their whispers, trying to figure out their stories. My dad's voice brought me back to the moment, taking my hands in his looking me in the eye's, he said:" Sina, you are the best thing that ever happened to me in this world, and this kingdom means a lot to me just like you do." Will it's definitely more than I mean to you, he continued:" I hope you take this responsibility as serious as you could sweetie." he took the crown from one of the maids and placed it on my head while everyone started clapping. My dad embraced me and whispered:"Don't ruin this for us." I didn't say any word but I really wish that you cared about me the way you care about your kingdom. The cake of my birthday was being served, everyone started gathering around me waiting me to blow the candles so the ceremony could start, "Come on sweetie make a wish and blow the candles, but be aware of what you wish sometimes it may come true!" My mom said ironically with a laugh, if what everyone is saying was true, about the birthday wish, then I will try my luck and wish for the best, for freedom, for being far away from this kingdom and this nightmare, for finding a place with magic, laughter, and light. I blow of all of the candles, even though I know that my wish will never come true. Everyone was dancing, chilling, and having fun at the party, it's only a matter of minutes until I marry the devil's son. The royal dance started and I was supposed to dance with the prince but for some reason he still haven't arrived yet, it looks like he's only going to attend the wedding so I was left alone, but as the princess I should dance with one of the royals no matter who they are, I was going to dance with my father since my mate didn't came, but as I was giving him my hand someone reached for it before him, he was wearing a mask so I couldn't figure out who it was, but somehow he looked so handsome. "Excuse me! Who are you and why you took my daughter away?" My dad's voice echoed in the room, even though my dad was furious the masked man smiled and said without breaking our eye contact:"Oh, don't mind me I'm just the prince." "Oh, I am so sorry about that, but why you are so late? The wedding is going to start as soon as the dance finish!" He smiled again:" I had some problems to deal with." And winked, why our prince suddenly look charming, and very hot, he didn't look like that in the picture's nor in people's stories, not that I look at his pictures I just hear about them. He took my hand into his and and put the other on my back and started leading me throw the dance. "So, you want that marriage then and you don't have a problem with it being arranged?" I said, at first he looked a little confused but he hide the confusion with a smile and said:" Uhh...sure I don't mind having an arranged marriage. I mean who wouldn't love to marry me write?" What the heck? Is he being serious right now? Ok it's officiall, Mr. Charming is now a pain in te ass already. I tried to hide the anger as much as I could and said:" You know that I don't want to have an arranged marriage right? And you know that I am 18 but for some reason your okay with that!" is confusion started to show again, he does know that I am the girl his going to marry right? After a moment a hint of a smile started to show on his face, why I feel like he doesn't even know about the marriage? His hand started to go lower which actually gave me butterflies, twirled me and said:" Who wouldn't accept to marry someone like you?" For the first time since we started dancing his smile looked very genuine and sweet, and it felt like he ment it. As I started to relax in the dance and in his embrace everyone started clapping, it looks like the dance ended, he brought me a little closer to him before releasing me and whispered:" You know what, your actually not that bad, I really envy that guy whoever he was." Wait, what? He kissed me on the cheek and then winked at me and left.
