HEAVILY inspired by @jjeve12's sheath book and Staggering by @dirt_block let me say- best books I've ever read in my entire life pls go read it you're interested! I honestly love them because they're so detailed and don't exactly rush to the point...
The echoes of my cell frightened me. The moans and groans of nearby prisoners made my eyes water and with every bang on the walls followed by pleas for help, just made my stomach turn.
You may be wondering, why am I in the prison currently? Well, being the eldest daughter of the king comes with its prices.
I am learning every day and training to become Queen but I don't feel like it's meant for me here and I never have. So much cruelty and heartbreak.
My footsteps echo throughout the hallways my eyes not once daring to make contact with the prisoners because of my guilt. Not many of these prisoners actually did something wrong, most of them were either caught looking at the my youngest sibling wrong, or back talking her for being a brat.
I can't deny it, she's a spoiled brat who let power get away with her head but I don't think many of these prisoners deserve it. Half of the prisoners here don't even have proper attire, leaving them half naked and some fully naked to leave embarrassed.
"Princess, are you okay?" Guard Derrick questions from behind. "Yes but, how cruel can this king some be? No one deserves this humility, not even if they murdered a person. Of course, if they did murder someone there should be harsh consequences it..." I pause as I get the strong odour of urine. "Not left to sit around in their own shit and vomit. The murderers get the same treatment innocent people do if they speak of my little sisters name wrong or give her a look accidentally..."
"I understand Princess." He responds, not wanting to speak bad on her name for... obvious reasons. We continue to walk deeper into the prison, the smell becoming stronger and stronger until we meet one cell.
"May, your time is up." I gesture for a guard to unlock her cell. "Princess? I thought I had another year left?" Her voice comes out in a mere whisper. "May, you were to be out today..." I look down at her, sadness filling my facial expression when I realize how hard it can be to remember days, being trapped so long in here.
"Princess, is this true? Am I really out!?" Her eyes brighten and her smile finally shows. "Yes, you have my apologies... I never wanted any of this to happen." I gesture my hand to everyone in the prison.
I eventually hear someone vomit, causing me to gag. This my dear friends, is why I dislike the idea of being queen, but my other young sister loves the idea, she obsessed over it constantly. Her being the middle sister she has a small chance of becoming queen but her imagination carries her along.
I personally hope one day to pass this gift along to her, so I can go adventure and fulfill my dreams but of course... that's just a fantasy.
"I- I thank you so much Princess! Your kindness shows no bounds..." she accepts the pie I have given to her. "Remember May, eat slowly... you don't want to become sick." I speak to the young woman.
I love just seeing people happy but personally, I am scared to be queen because I can't make everyone happy. Being the ruler of the place is difficult but it doesn't seem that way. Promises to give more money to one cause just as my king did with disabilities left people in schools upset. So if I did become queen, the money would be the issue... how much money could I donate to prisons and also keep a rich country... confusing right?
When I become queen I'm definitely improving prisons first but how much money can I give?
I continue to let a few people out and giving them warm and fresh pies soon to follow then I donate some food to the cafeteria.
