I am faced with an abundance of suitors upon my entry into the room. Everyone is dull, and to be frank, unappealing.

I twirl the front pieces of my hair, the locks wrapping around my finger as I wait for this to be over.

I scrutinize each and every noble, and I can almost see the disappointment on my mother’s face because of my refusal to all of these suitors.

“At least she’s letting me choose....

(Warning: “deep” themes possible)

The crown lay heavy on my head, more like a curse than a sign of power.

The heavy velvet clothing draped round me was always suffocating, weighing me down like chains, or quite literally so. It’s as if they grabbed seven curtains and decided to wrap it round me nineteen times, and call it iconic fashion.

I’m a royal.

I should be grateful.

But nobody in this kingd...

Ever since I was a kid, I _hated_ being a prince. It was always so tiring, they always have unessesary rules for me to obey. I can’t even go outside or even see what it is like out there, unlike other kids who can play outside and have fun. It was hard to go outside, I could only get out if this castle if I **don’t** want to be a future king anymore but they won’t easily let me out. Plus, who woul...

Three left, two right, as if I were made a knight.

Eyes right, head high, oh how I wish to die.

To fly away, just today, leaving the pain that I made.

Yet here I stand, and here I stay, just to make it all okay.

Or so I thought, that is why I fought, the existential dread.

Of how my wife may return, of how the pain burns, worse then a flame.

The cut of the whip, the place where it hits, s...

Everyday, people ask, ‘your highness?’ Followed by a request to fulfill some selfish desire. I wish I didn’t have to answer. More reasonably, I wish I didn’t have to say no.

When I look in the mirror, I see a sparkling tiara upon an over-makeuped fake’s head. If I could, I’d run away and become something new. Something brilliant! I’d make my own life, where everyone is equal. Men and women, child...

The day after my wedding I arrived in the castle, it had been only the second time Alaric and I had met. He was charming I would give him that but, he was far from traditional. Instead of worrying about heirs he wanted to focus on our relationship. He is kind and I am lucky to have a kind companion, but I worry about hos backbone when it will come to raising an heir

Everyone thinks being a princess is an easy and lavish life, but they’re wrong. Sure, I live a lavish life—eating good food, wearing extravagant dresses, going to parties—but that's only from the outside perspective. The truth is, I have no say in my future; I must obey my father’s plans. I’ve been trained since childhood on how to sit, walk, speak, eat, and even how to smile—for God’s sake. Somet...

Wake up, allow the maids to prepare me for the day, walk around the castle aimlessly, attend a couple of lessons. I might read a few books, then attend dinner.

That’s how every day of my life has gone since I could remember.

I am constantly being followed by a guard that my father, King Henry, has assigned to me. He acts like a shadow everywhere I go, but I suppose that’s natural when your fam...

If I wasn’t looked upon by all the eyes of the world then I wouldn’t be labelled as trouble. Just because I was born into being a prince. The people of this kingdom look at me like I’m going to be it’s downfall and I haven’t even turned eighteen yet. Just because I don’t choose to conform to what is considered normal behaviour for a young prince. So what if I cause a little bit of chaos every now ...

Marriage is a duty I’ve been aware of since I was a young girl. As of recently it’s weighted heavy on my mind. I do not wish to spend the rest of my life with a random man, bearing his heirs.. Gods I wish to die before I am cast aside and throw into a man’s shadow....
