Ovelia's POV: I walked down the hallway into my mothers room. She looked very nice in her royal ball gown, and I smiled at the sight of her expensive crown. "Hello mother. You requested to see me?" "Yes Ovelia. Your father and I are going on a dangerous adventure. There's no telling when we'll be back." "Huh? What kind of adventure?" "Nevermind that dear. The point is that you will become the Princess of the whole Kingdom." "For how long? Please Mother, tell me more!" "No Sweetie. I must go now. My and your father must leave immediately. You will resume your duties as the princess at once. And remember Ovelia, the whole kingdom believes in you. I hope to be back one day, and I will write to you often. But I cannot say for sure when I'll come. Farewell Ovelia. Take good care of your sister." "But mother, why are you wearing such a fancy outfit if you are leaving?" Mother giggled at this point. "Oh yes, I suppose I'm too nervous to think right now. You go on up to find your father, and I will finish getting ready. Run along now dear!" I frowned, but did as I was told. I was only 16, was I ready to lead the whole country? As I got to my father, he was sitting on the throne, tapping his foot on the ground in an annoying rhythm. "Ah Ovelia! Come in, come in!" He stood up, and I smiled. "Mother said that you said, you wanted to see me." "Yes dear, yes! You need a royal crown before we go. And I have one to give you." He picked up a shiny solid gold crown, and placed it on my head. "There. How does it feel to be a leader?" "Oh, very...well...not much of a difference..." My father laughed and I smiled. "Now, if you need anything my dear, there is one man here you can trust. This is Ralf. He is a very wise inkling, and will answer any question you might have." "But how can I be sure I can trust him?" "He's my brother." I giggled, and walked with my father until he got to the castle enterance. Mother was waiting for us, and she kissed me once on the cheek, before both my father and her left. I waved at them, and then walked back to the throne room, thinking very carefully. Was I really ready? It all happened so fast! Was it a dream?! Ralf was waiting for me. He smiled shyly as I walked in. It seemed so quiet, nobody talked to me. I sat on Mother's throne, and then stood up again when the throne room doors burst open. "Milady?" Someone whom I had never seen before, asked. She fell immediately to her knees. "Yes?" "Guests are beginning to arrive. Where shall I send them?" "Oh, uh, yes...My father did say something about a birthday party for my baby sister today. Send them to the dining room!" "Yes milady, right away!" I had Ralf bring my little sister Tietra out and celebrate. Nintendo for inklings Square Enix for the names The rest is by me! Next Chapter coming soon!
