The beginning

My name is emma stai. I am the first born of the stai family and the heir to the throne,though through out the reign of the stai family there have never been a female on the throne and I was going to change that. Though not a lot of people are happy about that and my dad nearly left my mother but it could not be changed.

A lot of people hate me especially my father who prefers his second child who is also his first son. I have always been lonely,nobody to look after me all I see in people eyes when they look at me is hatred even my mother who suffered a lot of abuse before giving birth to my brother. All I do is wake up eat and study and sleep but mainly study because I will be taking the throne when I turn eighteen.

Only if I knew what was in store for me.........

It all started a week before my birthday.

I was with my only friend whose name was stella when someone came to call me

"Good morning ma ,you have been requested for in the dining room" said the maid

"Who requested for my presence because I know nobody in this family like me to be anywhere near them" I asked

"Your mother ma" said the maid

I was so startled to hear my mother was the one who requested for my presence. I have missed my mother so much even though we were leaving in the same house we were like strangers since the time my brother was born. I don't hate my brother in fact me and him are very close even though my father must not know about this because he hates that I am the one taking the throne not my brother,he has always wanted a male heir. I just don't understand why a female can't be heir to the throne and I think I will make an excellent ruler no matter what anyone says.

I jumped out of the chair me and my friend were sharing immediately to dress and meet my mother. I wonder what she wanted to talk about.

"I will see you later stella, sorry I have to leave you soon. I will make it up to you later" I said

"No, it's okay I know how much you've missed your mother so go don't let me be a bother" she said.

I left the room feeling very happy not without telling my best friend how much I appreciated her. I was at the dining room entrance when I had a terrible feeling but I brushed it off I won't allow anything to spoil my day, so I entered inside feeling very happy when I sighted my mother.

"Hello mother, I heard you requested for my presence" I said smiling.

"Yes I did, I just finished speaking to your father about your enthronement which will be happening a week from now" she said smiling.

I noticed something was odd about her smile, it was looking forced.

"And what will that be" I asked.

"It has been very long since we hung out together and just have girls time like we did when you were small ,so I wanted us to have a picnic together in the woods were we used to go when you were small to have a little chat before you are queen and won't even have time for this again "She said

I almost cried because I have waited for this day for years now, I am just wondering why she didn't think about this earlier why now that I almost queen.

I have a bad feeling about this, but what is the worst that could happen.
