'Some ribbons there,some flowers here and we're done ' Silver said while decorating the walls in preparation for her sister's wedding.
'How are the preparations so far? '
'It's good, I mean...'
'...I don't take good for an answer. I need perfection because my daughter is gonna be getting married tomorrow'. The queen said as she sat on her throne,placed her face on her palms and started whimpering.
'Who's gonna give me a massage when my feet are lazy and tired from walking? Who's gonna stay with me when she's gone? I just love my daughter so much '. The queen said as she whimpered like a baby.
'Uhh, me,me and what about me?'Silver said literally answering all her questions.
'Oh, you. Why don't you try giving that prostitute you call your mother a massage?' The queen said with disgust in her tone.
'Why don't you stay away from me? You stinky little brat. I seriously don't believe you're a royal' She added.
Silver cried as she ran to her bedroom and laid on her bed. It wasn't her fault that she ws an illegitimate child. It wasn't her fault that the king slept with her mum.
'Hey', a voice interrupted. It was her brother or should I say step-brother? Phinn, who interrupted.
'Leave me alone' She said sobbing uncontrollably.
'Did mum say anything to you?' Phinn asked while sitting next to her. She was two years older than Phinn but he was like a big brother to her. To Phinn, she was a bullied weakling in the palace and for that reason, he swore to protect her decisions no matter what.
'Go away ' Silver said in between her sobs.
'Okay fine ' He said walking slowly to the door.
'Fine, you can come back ' Silver said while Phinn turned, slowly walking towards her.
'[Exhales deeply] You're right, it's her again'
'Whatever she says or does, you gotta ignore her ' Phinn said while wiping her face.
'Believe me Phinn, I've tried that so many times but it just keeps getting worse '. Silver said sobbing harder.
'Don't worry about her. Just remember that I'm always by your side ... always '. Phinn told her while hugging her tightly.
'Thanks, you're the best little brother I've had'
'You mean big brother ' Phinn corrected
'Dude, I'm older than you' Silver said, defending herself
'Age is just a number my dear. I look more mature and older than you so...' Phinn said while walking towards the door
'... so much for your bragging. Well I'm not done growing so I'm gonna get taller you '
'Haha, in your dreams ' Phinn said while shutting the door.
[ In the night ]
'So which one am I gonna wear? 'Silver asked looking at the gowns her father sent to her.
'I guess I'll have to wear them first ' She said as she took the first dress.
'Beautiful ' She said spinning round. The next dress she was supposed to wear was a black dress, transparent at the sides and cut to her fit.
'Exquisite' She said as she looked at herself in the mirror.
* Note: The novel will be continued on Silver's Point Of View [ POV ]*
I was still admiring the clothes in the mirror when someone knocked on the window.
'Who's there?' I said, slowly walking towards the window.
'It's me ' The voice said. The emotion in the voice was impossible to predict and it just filled me with fear.
'Who?' I asked still shaking with fear.
'Just open up 'The person said and I swallowed hard while pulling up the window. It was a guy. What was a guy doing in my room? If mum saw him,she'd conclude that I was having an affair with him.
'What are you doing here? You're in the wrong room.' I said, trying to push him away.
