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?

Regal Games

Princess Caroline was walking hand in hand with her husband. She was a princess now. She looked up at her husband, who was looking forward, and grinned at him. Looking handsome in his white shirt and dark blue jeans, he looked delicious. That put a bounce in her step because this handsome man was hers. She squeezed his hand, and he looked down at her. He grinned back at her and then looked forward again.

A flight attendant and four members of airport security were guiding them through the airport. Behind them, another flight attendant had a hand on one of their mini cases and was pushing it across the shiny tiled floor.

They came out of the hallway, and immediately they saw that a small crowd was gathering and looking at… Caroline craned her head to see.

What can be more eye-catching than a princess? she thought with humour.
