The Red Light District

The Crown 

I had never thought how uneventful and boring life was within those high stone walls of the palace. Yes, there was always a melodrama inside the royal court where I was forced to go every single day on the calendar after I turned fifteen. I tended to screw up a lot at first, but eventually, I came to understand how that ridiculous court worked. 

Three weeks is enough to know how eventful my life became after I was banished from the palace and expelled from the court. Maybe I never enjoyed how I was put in danger every time he gave me an assignment. But it always kept me preoccupied and never let me get bored. Which is more than enough. 

I have been sitting around in the royal palace of the Red Empire and doing nothing for three weeks now. I didn't bother with the task he gave me because I didn't want to waste my breath doing anything useless. But what am I doing here, sitting around and moping for three weeks?
