The Wrongful Heir
My chest heaves in desperation to turn around and leave. The huge rustic double doors in front of me start to crack open and light peaks through.
“Please now rise for your Queen and rightful heir of the trone” shouted out by a guard.
Everyone rises as I slowly stride across the long center isle of the dining room. Chatter amoungst these complete strangers fill my ears . I’ve reached the throne and turn to the crowd of people. Not crowd of people, crowd on my subjects.
“You may be seated” I announce as I also take my own seat. Uncomfortable but sturdy. I shouldn’t be here King Ophera is not my dad and never will be. But for now I’ll rise to the throne and make this hell hole mine till I can find a way out of this mess he created.
