5 Princes and I(Preview Only)

Chapter 9 PRINCE or a Therapist?

I narrowed my gaze at the king. "I don't know what to say, my King, but you're hiding something, aren't you?"

He looks like he's debating on whether he would tell me or not. Then he sighed. "I guess that you have the right to know. But you must not interrupt me when I explain. And please keep your voice low, she might hear us."

"Okay? Know what?"

"Do you even wonder why the Queen would need someone to choose the future King instead of picking one by herself?" He asked.

"Since the beginning of all this." I admitted.

He nodded and placed both his elbows on top of the table and intertwined them and placed his head on top of it. "Well, that was just an excuse for the real reason."

"I knew it!" I grinned in excitement. "Do I get a special task? Like do I have to defeat someone with my other worldly powers?"

"I-" He paused. "I do not know what you are saying, but I do believe that even though Thalia is not as peaceful as we would like it to be, we sure aren't at war to 'defeat' our enemy." He explained.

I slumped on the ground. So I don't get any powers then. "So for what special reason was I called here for?"

"In this world my wife has the power to open a portal to your world. Since the Queen can go back and forth between the two worlds, she has become fond of your world-.....what do you call that? Oh! Yes! Romance stories. After each story's endings, she would always complain that the people's lives don't end in books, it should always carry on, so she thought of something. She would make a real life love story in this castle. One that she would be able to see how it will grow, from the beginning to the end. And guess who are the characters? You and the Princes that you are hiding from." He ended. His eyes are now on me. Waiting for my reaction.

It took me a second to process his words. When they finally made sense, something just snapped in me. My blood boiled at this information as I just realized something.

"What?!" I shouted, not caring if the Princes would hear my screams.

The King raised both hands in front of him, trying to calm me down. "Shhh! Calm down. She might hear us!" He whispered.

"Calm down?! So I was dragged to this place to become a character for her romance fantasy and not to be a hero with super powers!?" My reason for being angry was petty.

"I'm serious, she might hear you!"

"Then let her hear me! I am not a pawn." I didn't know what I did, but I remember grabbing on one of the books from the shelf to steady myself. I pulled it off, attempting to throw it against the room.

"Not that!" The King yelled.

Too late I had already pulled it, but it didn't come off, instead I heard a soft click and the shelf started to part. Both sides moved sideways revealing another room. On the couch sat the Queen. Her head turned in my direction as she paused what she was reading. "Rose, if you'll do a rampage, then you could at least have done it outside. I could hear your screams but your words were jumbled."

My fist clenched at my sides while the King's face palmed and said "See? I told you she could hear us!" So this is what he meant when he said that she could hear us.

My eyes were still glued on the person sitting on the couch so casually as if she had got no care in the world. She sighed. "If you have nothing to say then-"

"You!" I shouted. My temper rises at an extremely dangerous level. She took my life away, my family and my friends and brought me to a place so foreign to me so that I could be someone that I don't want to be. To be a part of her stupid ideas.
