Dillonia Kingdom .....
"Princess Audrey!" yelled a servant followed with a loud bang of the door , "Your highness please open the door now! I'm too worried!" she yelled and knocked continuously.
"Xara for god sake leave me alone!!" she yelled back, Xara sighed and gave up knocking unless she wanted to have blisters on her hands, she was knocking for a while now but Audrey was hellbent on not opening the door, so she decided to ran for her parents instead. Xara was Audrey's maid since she was a little girl. "Your Majesty! ..my Queen!" she barged into the King's room , a moment later she noticed her rudeness and quickly bowed "I'm sorry my King " Queen Ella went to her and held her hands "What is it Xara?" she suddenly went down to her knees surprising both the King and the Queen "I am truly sorry but my Queen .... my King, I was too worried and never gave a thought of my actions, It's Princess Audrey .... she's at it again " she said panting, Queen Ella sighed "What? why can't that girl ever grow up?" shouted the King getting up from his seat, he motioned for her to get up already.
"I think we should find her a groom and marry her off only then her mind would expand " said Queen Ella with a frown, she was a grown up but acting like a little brat. "Let's go to my little girl " said King Jeremy walking ahead if them.
"Xara .... any details this time?" he asked walking through a large corridors heading to Audrey's bedroom "Nothing new sire ... she won't talk, eat, open the door and .... her hairs became red this time" she reported as they three of them walks, she tried her best to calm down her voice with was impossible because she walking with both, the King and the Queen.
"Oh God! we should just tell her about the heirs at least, she is 19 years old now, I'm just afraid she might hate herself " the Queen whined to her husband, they were walking side by side now, he held her hand and kissed it "She won't.... trust me" she smiled at her "And how are you so sure about that? we've been hiding and escaping the question for a long time now, do you think she would still believe our lies? she is an adult now" the frown on her face kept going deeper "She is my daughter after all so stop worrying too much" the King winked at his wife, she shook her head.
How could she forget these two stubborn people are actually what they were talking about? stubbornness is running in their bloods. Xara held in a laughter as she was behind them, the King could be a very crazy man sometimes but he is a very romantic man too.
They cane to halt at Audrey's door "My baby .... papa is here now open the door, let's talk" he said in extravagant tone irritating his wife to the core "You should stop pampering her , you are spoiling her too much!" she blurted. "Shhh! I got this my beautiful wife" Queen Ella rolled jer eyes, their attention went high when they heard a sound of a broken object, "I don't want to! You don't care about me papa! just leave me alone!" she said with sobs.
He felt a prick in his heart to hear his darling daughter crying, she is his gem so how could he let a gem cry? and he wasn't a King right now but a father ..
"Ofcourse not my dear ... papa is not bad and you know it" he said with a pleading tone. Queen just rolled her eyes and crossed her hands on her chest ... ready for an upcoming drama,
Xara just stood behind them quietly with a smile on. At first King Jeremy was very strict with her while Queen Ella was spoiling her to the core, but now that she is all grown up ... it's a total vice versa situation, the father became soft and spoiling her while the mother became very strict with her, such hilarious turn out of events. She shook her head.
"No you don't! Actually both of you don't! you kept on raising me like a caged bird! Well I know it is for my safety but I can't be free either way! I can't breath with you two ruining my life this way!! I better just die right now papa! I keep changing hair colours like a chameleon and it's been years now! The two of you won't say anything about it , I should just die! have you two imagined how hard I lived until now? I hate the both of you!" she sang her rants with sobs , she have been enduring everything for couple of years now but she has reached her limits, she can't take her parents cooked lies anymore, she is not free to do what she wants because she is a woman and the turning of her hairs kept sickening her, she count herself as a worst witch in their lineage.
Queen Ella closed her eyes, she knows how much hard it is for her daughter that's why she have been coaxing her husband to just explain the matter to her with no avail, Audrey has to be strong for her safety, she is far too important to this world than she could even imagine.
While King Jeremy lowered his head with guilt, his daughter's words hitting his face like a slap, everything that Audrey said was true and he felt her pain .
"Is that how a Princess should be? cut the drama and open the door now Rey!" yelled Queen Ella, she knows her daughter very well, she is smart enough to not end up her own life, there is possibly something she is seeking out of this emotional drama of hers although what she said was true.
She cried even more "Aaaagh!! I hate you! both of you!" her mother shook her head, just when did her 19 years old daughter become so childish? King Jeremy smirked at his wife, she formed a 'What?' with her mouth and shrugged her shoulders. King Jeremy cleared his throat "Ahem! Erm..... Rey my dear ..... just make sure you don't hurt yourself in there and please state whatever you want your father is all ears" the moment he uttered his last sentence the loud sobs ended, Queen Ella murmured to herself "Here we go" .
A grin formed on Audrey's face inside the room, "Gotcha" she whispered, "You can't take back your words papa" he hummed in response smiling widely , "First of all you would tell me from A to Z about my hairs, secondly you would allow me to take my political lessons and third of all ... I will keep learning the courtesy classes only if you let me continue with ..." King Jeremy closed his eyes and murmured "Fighting classes" predicting her last word, she continued "Fighting classes! I will open the door only if you bargain with me papa and mama should not participate in your decisions "
Queen chuckled stunned "Wow! she is indeed you dauhhter Jeremy! indeed!" she was speechless by her demands and how is that even bargaining when she was the one at the receiving end.Xara covered her mouth not to laugh out loud, she raised a sly fox.King Jeremy was silence , he was contemplating his daughter's words, if he won't agree to her demands then she would do anything to get what what wants and that is because she us her own blood, she got it all from him rather than her innocent mother.
"I Jeremy ..... oblige to your demands only if you open the door Princess of Dillonia's kingdom " he shook his head with a faint smile , "I can't believe you could melt like this for Audrey, you might as well let her slap your face next time" Ella sighed "Deal King of Dillonia's Kingdom" she got up quickly and looked at herself on the mirror and noticed her tears had already dried up, she rushed rushed to the table, dipping her finger in the jar and then created fake tears traces just below her eyes and down to her cheeks.
Her eyes were already red since she cried for real earlier so now everything was set, she shifted her facial expression to a sad one before walking to open the door.
The first person to come in was her father just like how she predicted, then followed by her mother and Xara. King Jeremy pulled her daughter for a hug patting her red hairs, "Oh my chameleon... I was so worried about you, stop these kinds of tricks or else you'll kill me with heart attack " she nuzzled in his embrace "Sorry papa, but I had to, the only way for you two to listen to me is by risking my own life" she looked at her mother and winked, she was teasing her that she won over her again, she always does.No matter what she does .... her mother would never buy her lies, she always knows that she was lying just to get something out of her father. Queen Ella could o ly shook her head, she should open a mental asylum for these two people or else they would turn her into a crazy person too.
Xara smiled and event to clean the pieces of glasses smashed by the sly fox named Audrey, Goodness!
