“Pick up the sword and do it again.”
I swear if I hear that voice tell me one more damn thing, I will–
“Clara! Are you even paying attention?”
I looked up to see the face that matched the horrid voice. His inky black
hair looks like it hasn’t been washed in days, and his beady black eyes
pierced me with judgment. His alabaster skin shone with a permanent sweat
stash on his upper lip.
Unfortunately, I cannot escape him or this class. Instructor Edward was
our royal trainer, although he was more of a royal pain in my ass. I
mustered the strength to plaster the sweetest smile, “I’ll try again.”
With a feigned gasp, “Finally, a response from our great Princess Clara.”
Instructor Edward leaned in, squinting as if searching for all my flaws
“To be victorious in the Variance, you must put in the effort.”
I did my best to withhold my eye roll, but as a twenty-year-old girl, it
wasn’t easy. I assumed my stance on the black plastered mat centered on the
worn emblem of the Sefida crest–the symbol of our land’s joining capital.
Why hadn’t they replaced it?
“Clara!” the annoyingly high-pitched voice said again. “You’re obviously
too distracted. Go to your room at once.”
Finally.
Strategically half-assing a lesson always guaranteed dismissal. I was
nowhere near his prized pupil, but I was the best pupil. Everyone knew it.
Walking into the changing room from class, I discovered an odorous smell
that seemed to follow me everywhere I turned.
Oh gosh. It’s me. No wonder none of the boys want to be around me.
I was far from the fragile flower they expected a princess to be. Even
warrior princesses were expected to smell like roses and look as fresh as
dewdrops. Although the youngest royal in attendance, I was undoubtedly
the most skilled.
We had been in Sefida, the capital city of Carondelet, for almost a year, all
training like mad henchmen going to war all for the silly Variance to
determine the fate of our quaint land.
We were all required to train as the future leaders of our Kingdoms, but a
Variance being announced was something that didn’t happen often.
When word came that a Kingdom was challenging the current high ruler’s
position on the throne, we nodded our heads at the challenge set before us.
We knew that once every newly Crowned prince and princess from all the
Kingdoms were officially declared, each Kingdom could challenge the
current land ruler. That could determine who would control the entire land
as the Crown King or Queen.
Challenging a current ruler was almost unheard of, almost.
The smell hit me again, and I couldn’t keep my thoughts away
