Crushing On Your Majesty;The girl he hated

leap of time

There were nights when I couldn't sleep without out you.

Now there are days when I don't even remember you.

But in the end when I look at myself in the mirror at night,

The pendant hanging in neck brings to light the betrayal you gave me that night.

¶ Your majesty pov¶

A large gathering surrounded the palace walls.
Stalls were put and markets were set to celebrate the biggest festival of the decade.

I was standing in my balcony, sipping my morning tea, while looking at the gathering below.

Everyone looked so happy, just like I wished them to be.
A smile automatically came on my lips on seeing them.

"Your Majesty! The administrators are waiting."

I sipped my tea, not bothering to turn around.

"Are they ready with the final draft? Yet?"

"No...they have not completed it, however, they have a rough draft with them"

"Tell them to come when it's done. Dismiss them"

"But your majesty they were persistent"

I didn't say anything.
Not caring to reply.
My secretary knows how much I hate repeating myself but still, he has to ask me.

"Where is dad?"

"Senior Majesty just came back this morning! He was asking for your presence at the dining table"

"No worries I will join him very soon. Are the papers for the treaty ready?"

Placing the empty cup in a waiter's tray, I proceeded towards my room.
My today's clothes were placed on my bed without even asking me.

I really hate it sometimes.

"Yes your majesty. They are with the President for his approval."

I nodded, picking up my today's outfit.
A grey tuxedo with a black shirt.

"Call him and ask him to visit me today."

"Yes your majesty"

Johnathan looked distracted.
He was nodding but his eyes were fixed on someone else.

I followed her stare to see him stare at the maid standing in the corner with eyes cast down.
I haven't seen her before, she must be new.

"Yes?"

I asked a bit impatiently

"Your majesty...your royal highness is asking for your presence at the dining table."

"I will be there shortly"

She bowed ready to leave when I stopped her.

"Excuse me, was it you who selected my outfit?"

She looked scared when my voice was anything but scary than my usual self.
I try being polite but they are always scared.

"Yes your majesty"

"Don't do it again. You may go"

She nodded, rushing out.

"Sir, today's sch-"

"Not now Johnathan. Let me get ready first. Meet me outside in 10 and yes "

He looked up at me again, giving me his full attention.
