Chapter Two: For this princess, there are no fairy tales.

(Two years before the end of the war)

In the kingdom of Hiden, which had experienced some attacks by demons. Everyone was afraid, of more attacks or a possible invasion. So they ended up depending on the decisions of the government.

But the trust in the decisions taken by the royalty was running out. During this time, everyone discovered the corruption of the king, who was embezzling money that was for the war, or accepting bribes from nobles for his own good, it was said that he even had an agreement with the enemy army, in case they won. The dissatisfaction of the people was great, even inside the palace the revolt was great.

In a large and luxurious room a girl played house with her dolls, she had orange hair, violet eyes and wore a pretty pink dress. A butler delivered her food, then walked away.

- Isn't she King Alfonso's daughter? - one of the cleaning ladies asked the butler.

- Yes. It's a pity she has a father like him.

The girl joked, listening to her parents arguing in the bedroom down the hall.

- How can you do this? - Her mother shouted.

- It was for the good of our family. - Her father retorted.

- For the good? What about the people? You're the king! - Your mother threw it in your husband's face. - That's not the man I fell in love with. You will pay for your crimes.

At this moment, several soldiers in silver armor invaded her house. Some soldiers stayed to protect the princess.

- I CAN'T GO THROUGH SUCH HUMILIATION! - Her father shouted.

Using his fire magic, he began to attack, the princess was frightened, because she heard loud bangs and screams from the soldiers and her parents. But suddenly a silence came, Isabella ran to where her parents were.

- DADDY... MOMMY! - She got loose

She went to her parents' room, standing there paralyzed. Her parents were dead, along with some soldiers. She went to her parents' bodies.

The princess fell to her knees, crying.

- Your father killed your mother and my soldiers... Soon after he took his own life, he wanted to come after you, but we stopped him. I beg your pardon, Princess.

- No... No... Why? Why? - She started to scream.

Her eyes began to glow blue, the house began to shake. Near the princess, she had several energy spheres that shot out lightning, flames, and some stones.

- Is this a double awakening? - The captain exclaimed confused.

The soldiers didn't know what to do, for, it was the princess. They couldn't hurt her, Isabella was destroying everything as she screamed. A woman came running into the room, wearing a red dress, blonde hair messed up from running, and green eyes that showed concern.

- Bella! - She shouted to the girl

- Auntie... - She began to calm down.

Everything became calm, the princess' aunt ran to hug her niece.

- Auntie... mommy... daddy... - She spoke crying and sobbing a little.

- It's okay... It's okay," she hugged her niece.

- Mrs. Dulce... was that a double awakening? - The captain asked puzzled.

- Yes Captain. But this is not the time to think about it, gather the families of the castle.

- Yes ma'am.

Dulce looked at her niece, wondering what she could do to protect Isabella and convince the other families. For the sins of her father would fall on her.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

The throne room, was large, grayish, with a big purple carpet on the floor. And the throne had a golden color and red cushions.

The families that were gathered there had different colors of clothes. Dulce climbed the steps leading up to the throne.

- I have gathered the families together now, for the king has just taken his own life and that of the queen. - Dulce spoke loudly, an echo resounded through the room.

Everyone spoke at once.

- A coward, I knew. - The leader of one of the families, commented loudly, he wore a green-colored suit.

Everyone agreed.

- We'll have to put someone to be the new king or queen.

- This is no time for that, I have a proposal for everyone. - Dulce spoke up.

This aroused their interest, and a great silence filled the hall.

- My proposal is to make a parliament with the leaders of the four royal families. Until Princess Isabella is old enough to take the throne, we know that she is the rightful heir...

- But she is of the same blood as the king, how can we trust her? - A man questioned, who was from the family that wore blue clothes. Looking at the family that wore pink robes.

- Just because she is of the same blood, doesn't mean she will do the same, I will take care of raising her. Besides, there is no other heir, and no other family can take over. - She looked at everyone. - This is an opportunity for everyone to rule. I Dulce Lennox, representative of the Lennox family, do this for the good of the kingdom.

They stared at Dulce, debated for a while.

- Very well! The Neville family accepts your proposal. - Said a nobleman wearing a dark blue cape, with long white hair.

- The Lombardi family accepts your proposal. - Said a representative wearing a green suit, brown topknot and white skin.

- And the Rethel family also accepts, to pay for our cousin's mistakes. - A balding gentleman, white skin, pink robes, kneels with his family. - Let's make Isabella Rethel a great queen.

- Coming from you, the pigs of the nobility. - One of the nobles said this out loud.

- What did he say? - the bald lord asked excitedly.

- Now, let's think about the future of the kingdom and focus on the War of Reconquest. - Dulce said, leaving the room.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

Days passed, the news of the death of the king and queen spread throughout the kingdom. The population was satisfied, they said that he deserved the fate he had. But they began to say that his heiress, because she bore the same surname, would continue her father's rotten legacy.

Isabella was walking around the palace, and ended up running into some nobles.

- Isn't that the king's daughter?

- Yes, she smells like garbage, just like her father.

They whispered among themselves, Isabella heard this ignoring it. When the princess went out with her aunt, all the inhabitants judged her, looked at her and cursed her. The princess tried to ignore it, but she held a grudge.

Her aunt told her to show that she was capable of ruling. But Isabella had convinced herself that she couldn't do it. And every time she came back from her walk in the city, she went to her room and...

- Why do I have to be queen of a kingdom that hates me? - she asked herself in her thoughts, while she lay on her bed, staring at the white ceiling of her room.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

One fine day, she was walking to her princess duties. Two maids bowed, but one of them commented to another.

- I don't know why we have to bow down to her...

- What did you say? - Isabella stopped looking coldly at the maid.

- Nothing, ma'am. - she said, swallowing dryly.

Isabella approached her. That was the spark for the princess's grievances to come out.

- A trash like you shouldn't whisper about me like that. - she said, looking coldly at her maid. - You better not be here, I don't want to see your shitty face anymore.

The maid was surprised, but, at the same time, afraid. She just bowed her head and walked away from Isabella.

 And from that moment on she began to treat all the employees, nobles and populace like dirt.

- I don't want to eat that! - she shouted at the cook.

In her room she looked at the cleaning lady. For she apologized for not having cleaned up as the princess wanted.

- Shut up, get out of here! - Bella shouted at her, laying down on her bed. - I hate everyone, I hate... I hate... if they hate me, I'll hate them even more.

So she decided to continue acting this way.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

(Nine months after the end of the war, present day)

Dulce was leaving a meeting.

- Madam! - A man approached her. - Another butler has resigned because of the princess.

- My god... she's no good. - He said with disappointment and with his hand on his forehead.

- What shall we do? - The servant asks Dulce.

She stood without an answer, frowning, placing her hand on her chin and thinking.

- Do you need help? - A loud, feminine voice came from in front of them. - I have a contact person who can help.

- If you can really help, tell me more about it. - Dulce said, waving her golden fan.

- As you wish.

As she began to comment, Dulce smiled, hearing about the contact.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

A short time later. The princess was walking nose to nose through the castle, when a soldier approached her.

- Princess. Lady Dulce calls you to the main hall.

Without complaint she went to the main hall. The place was very large, lit by a chandelier, and the walls and ceiling were gold colored. Isabella went down the stairs that led to the hall. Dulce was standing near the entrance, waving her fan.

- Did you call me Auntie? - she asked as she was still walking down the stairs.

- Yes. - I heard that another butler quit because of you.

- He was trash, not worth my attention. - Bella turned away.

 Dulce cracked a smile, but it was hidden behind her fan. - But you need one.

Isabella looked at her aunt, sighed and went down the last step.

- I see you got another one. I don't need one. - Isabella said arrogantly.

- You're eleven years old, you don't know anything yet. - She went to a large door, opening it, "Please come in.

A boy entered the room, wearing crumpled peasant clothes. He had brown skin, black hair, and an almost lifeless look.

- His name is Roy. - Dulce introduced him.

- Yo . - he greeted by raising his right hand.

- What? - Isabella asked in surprise.
