The beautiful princess' ears perked at the sound of the door being knocked upon. Ah, so Travis was here to apologize for lying to her. Well, he wasn't going to get any forgiveness from her!
Alika walked over to the door, prepared to yell, when she heard the kind, gentle voice of her uncle. Opening the door to him, the princess smiled softly. "Uncle Krys, what is it?"

"you left in such a hurry, i never had a chance to explain things to you." Krys chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "you see, Jaz is set on Travis becoming the next king. but, it was never agreed upon. So, although Travis is expected to make an announcement tonight, it might not be what Jaz is expecting."

"It doesn't matter," she said, widening the door and walking into the room, her dress rustling as she walked. "I'm taking my own throne. My parents will be here tonight, and I'm going with them. I don't see why I shouldn't, I mean, I am the only one in my family prepared to rule. I am the only one who has completed the necessary education, as Atuanya isn't even close to complete. I must do what I must do, to serve my country, and to protect my family." Alika stopped before a mirror, trying to bend her arms behind her back to finish buttoning up, but she couldn't reach it. "Damn this dress."

"And what of taking a husband?" krys asked, raising an eyebrow. "surely you intend to marry?" he smiled, gently taking her hand. "i could, perhaps, discuss things with your parents. and see if some arrangements can be made...."

She looked up at him, dark eyes full of all the decisions that Alika was far too young to make, but knew she had to. She slipped her hand from her uncle's and faced the mirror once more, finally bending her arms enough to finish the last of the buttons. "I will never marry," she stated, reaching over him to take the satin gloves from the stand and slid them onto her arms. "Not even if Travis himself asked me. This is my life, and I fully intend to continue making my own decisions. I will be queen, Uncle. I will not be a wife." She turned back to him for a brief moment, motioning for the tiara behind him. "Would you mind helping me with my jewels? The necklace and bracelet have difficult, delicate clasps, and I can never get them on, and the tiara is never on right when I do it."

"you know you can't actually do that. if you intend to take your throne, you need to marry and produce heirs. otherwise, your brother will take it." Krys sighed as he helped her with her clothes.
Stepping out of his room, Travis gave a sigh and pulled a hand through his hair. "hey da- never mind..." he mumbled, seeing Alika and nervously rushing back into his bedroom to finish his outfit without any help. there was no way in hell he'd be able to face Alika right now. he was too nervous to do anything until after he made his speech.

She sighed and adjusted her earrings. "Then Atuanya will take it when I finally step down. Queens have ruled without ever taking a husband or producing an heir, Uncle. I don't need nor want a husba-" She was cut off by Travis' sudden appearance, turning to look at him with slightly pained eyes. However, she covered the pain and turned back to the mirror. "As I was saying, I don't want a husband. I can live without one."

"don't give me that crap, Alika. I know you wish to be with him." Krystoff smiled as he finally got the clasp on her necklace. "but, i seriously recommend you talk to him before you make any major decisions. okay?"

She finally turned to him, clenching her small fists. "Uncle, I refuse to marry, even him. If he asks me tonight, I will say no." She strut to the chair, sitting and putting her heels on. "And I will continue saying no until he gets the meaning of the word. I refuse."

"very well." Krys sighed, shaking his head. "i'll just... go then." and with that, the king left, poking in briefly to check on his son

She sighed and nodded, reaching up to focus on a small curl that was falling from her intricate bun. "I don't need a husband," she mumbled to herself before tying her phone to her ankle. "I hope the party's almost ready."

Stepping out of Travis's room once more, the king gave Alika a small smile as he poked his head in to her room. "would you like an escort into the party? The guests should be arriving by now."

Alika smiled and nodding, walking over and taking his arm. "Are my parents here yet?" she asked, shutting the door behind her.

 

[Pure T0rture]

"doubtful. they're typically some of the last people who ever show up to our parties. but, that might be because of the distance" Krys smiled as he lead her to the party room.

"So who is here, then?" she asked, precariously balanced in her high heels.
