CHAPTER ONE

I WILL BE QUEEN

Princess Mira wake up! Princess Jamaica said smiling down at her baby sister who was five years old, a cute bubbly curly hair coco skin little girl who was below in the cabin in the large yacht. Princess Mira opened her sleepy eyes hoping they finally got to the secret place her sister Princess Jamaica wanted to show her. Are we there yet? Princess Mira asked groggy from her nap. Yes we’re almost there but I want you to come up to the deck to see the ocean it is so beautiful. Princess Jamaica said with her flawless coco brown skin along and her hour glass shape and long silky hair. The two girls walked up the stairs to the deck to see the dark sky and the moon that was shiny and bright and the cold air was freezing to Mira’s small body but that didn’t stop Princess Jamaica from leading Princess Mira closer to the edge of the ship. Princess Mira was now getting scared of how close they were getting to the edge and tried to pull away from her sister. Jamaica I don’t want to see the ocean I want to go home, I want my mother and father! Princess Mira cried. Stop crying you baby, how father could even consider you to one day lead our country is be on me, you would of never grown up to be as strong as me! Princess Jamaica yelled then started to yank her little sister closer to the edge. Stop Jamaica I’m scared, Uncle Joshua! Uncle Joshua help me! Princess Mira yelled. He won’t help you; he’s driving the yacht and knows what has to be done for the good of the country! Princess Jamaica yelled then pulled Princess Mira to the edge with her hands now around her little sisters neck. Why sister, what are you doing? Princess Mira whispered with what little air she had left trying to push her little body back away from the edge. You have been a thorn in my side since mother delivered you and the way she and father showered you with their love that I don’t care about. I don’t need their love but I deserve the title of Queen. I know how to run our country, I have knowledge and the strength and I deserve the power, but no, they wanted to give it to you, you whimpering scared little baby who could never possess the ability to rule! Princess Jamaica yelled. Jamaica you’re hurting me and I want to go home please! Princess Mira begged. Stop begging Royalty never begs and it won’t help you, you’ll never go home again because with you gone my little sister I will be Queen! Princess Jamaica yelled then with all her might pushed Princess Mira over the edge. Princess Jamaica smiled in a sinister grin now pleased. Is it done? Uncle Joshua asked coming from the front of the yacht. Yes it is done now we will have it all!" Princess Jamaica said and walked away. Prince Joshua her Uncle and cohort just as greedy but knowing that if this young girl could kill her sister she would easily do him in, shook his head and walked back to the front of the ship so he could sail the yacht back to the shore and away from all the drama wondering how his niece could ever kill her own blood.

Prince Joshua was a tall dark built handsome man who was rich and had all the single ladies wanting him until they found out he was only the second best behind his brother King Harrison his younger brother who was given the Royal title and kingdom from their father, the throne that Prince Joshua should have had then he would of never had agreed with this plot that his niece came up with and as much as he hated his brother King Harry never would he kill him but Princess Jamaica his niece was a cold hearted young girl of sixteen and she wasn’t going to stand behind anyone. So when she overheard her father the King talking to her mother Queen Sapphire and telling her that he didn’t feel Princess Jamaica would be a good Queen and how the subjects would probably rebel because of her cruelty, she then had to get rid of the only thing or only one standing in her way, Princess Mira.

The country of Wilshire was a large country with land full of diamond mines and the people were happy because it was lots of food to go around, there was no poverty in this rich country but it was not always like that because of the war. Meanwhile back at the palace Queen Sapphire a beautiful light skin shapely woman was looking in on her little Princess Mira to find she wasn’t there. Where is that little girl now, last time she got lost it took hours to find her in this big palace? The Queen thought exhausted then sent the servants to go find her missing daughter knowing it would take a long time in that palace that had over two hundred rooms all huge with marble floors and big chandlers and the most expensive furniture with fur cover couches and solid gold tables and diamond fixtures which was nothing to their country that was full of them. King Harrison had took over as King when his father died leaving him and his older brother Prince Joshua, but the country needed to be lead by intelligent honor and heart. Prince Joshua was not fit to be King and their father knew it so he passed the kingdom and all it’s wealth to the leadership of Prince Harrison leaving Prince Joshua bitter and hateful and always in the shadow of his little brother. Prince Joshua was a forty two year old man who had been told by his younger brother King Harrison who was five years younger that it was time he did something with his life other than live off the kingdom and disgrace the throne by his womanizing that was notorious in their land. Prince Joshua knowing he had to do something quick or be cut out was the only reason why he agreed to his niece’s horrible offer. Darling have you seen your daughter? Queen Sapphire asked walking into the huge throne room where her husband the King sat surrounded with his aids advisors guards and servants. Excuse me gentlemen why I have a word with the Queen. King Harrison said with his smooth brown skin and shaven head and bulging built body. After the room cleared out the King was not pleased by his wife of her improper gesture. Honey please, I told you many times when I’m in the throne room and on the throne everyone addresses me as King Harrison, everyone including the Queen. He said slightly upset. Sorry dear I often forget how uptight you are about protocol how wonder our two countries was always at war for so long. Both the King and the Queen shivered in remembering all the killing and disaster the two countries went through while they were at war.

CHAPTER TWO

THE ROYAL FAMILY

Queen Sapphire’s kingdom Mohall had about two million subjects but it was more of a mild country that had lots of gold. Queen Sapphire was the only child and her father King Javier was a peaceful King and after years of war he finally talked with King Harrison’s father and decided to stop the killing that their ancestors had put on both countries for so long. The first meeting Prince Harrison and Princess Sapphire had was at one of the meeting between the two countries and both at eighteen years of age they were both involved in the discussions of the peace treaty. At first Prince Joshua was noticing Princess Sapphire and wanted her, knowing that tying the two countries together would make him a multi billionaire with all the gold and diamonds the land possessed but his father saw through his greed and wasn’t going to risk the freedom and safety of both countries, so on his death bed he turned over the kingdom to Prince Harrison.

King Harrison who was now a young King but had no Queen to share this land with and the elders was pushing him to find a young maiden in his country to marry. King Harrison tried but couldn’t find the right woman and in one of his meeting with King Javier to discuss land bounties after a brief break in the meeting he stuck up a conversation with Princess Sapphire. He was always amazed by her intelligent and overwhelmed by her beauty but now was shaken by the sweetness of her heart and how she told him how she sympathized with his loss of his father and how he was a good King and that King Harrison had some big shoes to fill. Later King Harrison rode back to his palace thinking he knew why he couldn’t find the right woman in his kingdom; it was because the one he wanted lived
