The boy replied in Arrogantly - can't you see , you even know who I'm.
Rihanna bow - i'm sorry , but if you don't know who you are then you should ask your father . ( smile )
Boy get frustrated - you ?
Suddenly a men with same golden hair interapted stand beside that boy and put his hand on his head . ( Marco how many times I told you to talk with respect ) give death stare to him .
He get scared and start looking aside .
The Man look at Rihanna - i'm sorry for misbehavior of My child , I'm Henry de forte . Emprore of Taj empire.
Rihanna eyes widen open - oh so it means he is crown prince ( pointing at Marco)
Marco proudly smile - ofcourse I'm.
Emprore sighs - but his behavior is not at all like crown prince .
Suddenly my maid nita came from behind shouting - princess.
Both that boy and Emprore become shocked - you are princess ( gazed at her dressing )
Rihanna slightly smile - actually when ever I come here I dress normally , so that they connect with me , without hesitation.
Emprore get impressed - how thoughtful of you , I just had a meeting with your father ( emprore ) , I'm really impressed with idea to have ngo , to help poor kids and gave them shelter and food , so I come here to look around by myself , and to see how it's works .
Rihanna smile - i'm glad you like it . ( smile )
Emprore nod with smile and look at Marco - let's go Marco,
Both leaves .
Nita look at rihanna with sparkling eyes - princess, let's go back to palace, empress going to gave birth .

Rihanna pov
When I reached infront of the door I heard the cry of a baby .
When I step inside I see my mother sitting on bed with smiling face and and father holding the baby in his arms
I go towards them , father gaze at me happily - See rihanna your baby brother is here . ( he bend down to show the baby ) I looked at the face of baby , He is so cute ( she thought while blushing ) he has same hair as my father and pruple eyes as me and my mother , I put a finger in his small hand ,and he immediately close it . ( so cute )
Suddenly I remembered something , I take a jewelry box and hand it to father
He open it and there was a four leaf necklace ( four leaf bring luck )
Father smile - so you are fulfilling your responsibility as big sister,
Mother smile - so how about you gave name to him .
Rihanna get shocked - name ? Uhm let's see how about Andrew ?
Both mother and father looked at each other- Andrew ?
Father - it's nice name but what is meaning
Rihanna - it's means , manly, strong and brave. So when he grew up he became strong and brave emperor.
Mother - this name is perfect, now let's prepare for ball , we held same ball as we held at rihanna time , or maybe even more grand .
Father bend down - but before that ( look at Rihanna ) do you want to hold him ?
Mother get worried - what are you saying, she drop him .
Rihanna get nervous - mother is right , I can't.
Father laugh - try it ,
Rihanna pull her hands towards , emperor gave Andrew in rihanna hands, she carefully holds the baby , ( looks at his small sleeping face ) suddenly baby start crying and because my body is still small to handle a baby , it slightly slip , but I managed to hold him carefully.
Mother immediately take Andrew from my hand - what if Andrew fall , from now on you don't pick him up ,
Rihanna tightly close his palms , and angerly leaves from there .
Why even I hold him ( she whispers ) sighs , but he is cute , ( start looking at beautiful blue sky covered in cotton like white clouds ) I hope he grew up healthy and strong . ( smile )
Time skip at 12 years.
Rihanna is sitting on her study table near the window - written her diary.
Rihanna pov
Today I'm going to turned 18 , this means I'm officially adult now , there is a ball happened for tonight,
And as usual my relationship with my parents are still not that good especially with mother , but I don't have any complaints because I experienced worst treatment than this , so it's okay
And on the other hand , my baby brother now is 12 years old , me and my brother had good relationship , time flies so fast , he grew up so much , and now his hobby is smiliar to mine , which is drawing , he spent his half of time in drawing rather then studying or learning swordmenship.
End of pov
Princess ( nita enter with other severtns while holding various dresses)
Princess choose which ever you like to wear for today party . ( smile brightly )
Rihanna get nervous - 'uhm' can you choose in my behalf, actually I'm little tired today.
Nita - I know princess, you did so much work today, first you visit local streets to see the condition, then you go all ngo , then you take your 7 different lectures, today is your birthday then why you doing all this .
Rihanna smile - because I enjoy this , remember when today I distribute food and clothes to needy peoples, they become so happy, as an princess while seeing there happy faces gave me encouragement to do more works like this .
Nita eyes suddenly get teary .
Rihanna get nervous - wh-what happend why are you crying .
Nita wipes her tears with her fingers - this is a tears of happiness, my little princess become adult today , I'm just really happy.
Rihanna smile and gave her warm hug - thank you for always there for me , ( smile )
Nita broke the hug and Bow - princess if you don't mind can I say something. I know I don't have any value to say this to a royal family , but still I don't like one thing ( still in a bow position )
Rihanna with soft tone - first stand up straight.
Nita stand straight but still looking down .
Rihanna with comfort and soft voice - now tell me what are you talking about.
Nita get hesitate and try to speak with shaking voice - I don't like the way em-empress so discriminating with you and prince ,
Rihanna sparkle purple eyes widen open with shocked.
Nita get frustrated - I don't like the way empress treat you both differently, I know when second child is born parents focus get diverted , but they never forget about there first child, but in empress case she only care about prince interest, normally in every kingdom every prince start learning about swordmenship at age of 9 , and get multiple lessons of languages and history at age of 7 .
But in crown prince condition he doesn't learn any of it , and he is already 12 years.
Nita start sobbing - I'm not saying that empress should make pressure on prince , but the problem is she keep pushing you , she also stops your drawing which you love so much ,
She keep telling you to behave and scolding you , but never say anything to crown prince even though he is much naughty. I'm really sorry if I say much , I know my position ( keep sobbing ) but still I can't see and hold this treatment with you . ( sobbing )
Rihanna gently smile and put her hand on nita shoulder - it's okay
Nita get shocked at looked at rihanna pruple eyes .
Rihanna - I don't feel bad in this things neither you should, and Andrew is little now when right time come both mother and father provide him lessons ,
And I'm happy you care about me this much thanks ( smile at nita )
Nita nod slightly .
Rihanna - alright then let's choose dress together,
Time skip at party .
Whole palace decorated in lights with big golden show pieces, all the Nobels start gathering
Wow , it's so big and beautiful
Yeah , and ofcourse princess is going to turned 18 .
Rihanna enter in a party with beautiful blue sparkle offshoulder gown , with hair bun and bangs,

Two bestfriend of Rihanna ( niki and Arina ) approach her .
Arina with sparkling blue eyes - Rihanna happy birthday, you are looking so beautiful.
Niki with happy brown eyes while holding both Rihanna hands - happy birthday Rihanna
Rihanna gently smile at them - Thanks !
Empreror enter in the ball ( everyone bowed )
Empreror go towards rihanna and hug her - happy 18 birthday Rhianna, you grown so much .

Empreror get nervous - "uhm" Actually Andrew is not feeling well so - so she is with him ,but don't worry I'm here right ( nervously smile )
Rihanna suspiciously gazed at her father ( why I feel like he is hidden something )
Niki whispers at Arina ear - this is not nice , today is Rhianna special day , atleast she can come only for 2 minutes and wish her . She definitely feel sad ( with sad tone )
Arina whisper back - You are right, we can't do nothing, let's just try to keep Rihanna happy .
Emperor take glass and tap on it with spoon ( everyone start looking at emperor ) - so today we gathered here for special occasion, to celebrate the 18 birthday of my daughter and your princess, ( shout ) so let's cheers .

Emperor get shocked - wh-what , I mean Don't worry he is fine , ( put hand on her shoulder ) just enjoy the party.
Suddenly someone interrupt in there conversation - your majesty can I talk with you for a second.
Empreror slightly nod , leaves .

I slowly open the gate and go inside . Andrew was lying on a bad and mother fall sleep beside him .
I go closer to Andrew to check his fever - I place my hand on his forehead ( , it's normal ) he doesn't have fever ,
Then why father lie he had a fever , suddenly my eyes fell on his feet , it was little swollen ( I removed the sheet and see his feet is little swollen maybe he get injured while playing )
Tears start rolling on rihanna cheeks .
Empress slowly slowly open her eyes and Emperor immediately enter the room .
With slow voice - so that's why you didn't come .
Emprore start looking down
Empress get up from with confusing .
You know right that today is my 18 birthday but still you didn't come .
Empress - Didn't your father told you , Andrew is not fine.
Rihanna slightly nod - yes , he told me , and because of this I can't able to enjoy my own party , because all time I think about Andrew.
Empress flinch her eyebrows - what are you trying to say , can't you see his feet , how can I come .
Rihanna with anger suspicious gazed - But it can heal by massage. Don't you massage it .
Empress - ofcourse I did , but I still here , because what if he wake up and need something. So I need to be here .

Empress with shocking tone - wh-what ?
Rihanna keep sobbing and take heavy breathing - I'm not saying spend whole day with me , but atleast you can come to me for 2 minutes.
Emperor get worried - Rihanna it's not like that. Try to understand.
She angryly gazed at her father with teary eyes - try to understand? From 7 yrs of age i endure this much , I keep on convince my self . You know how torture is this when you are only 7to8 yrs old, and your mother Don't even talk to you properly and play with your younger sbiling all the time infront of you . She keep on pushing me hard , pressure me to study ( heavly breathing while sobbing ) even servents Don't talk to me except nita , ( look at her father ) and father you, you always on outside trip so I understand you don't know about this things, but atleast you can explain mother what she is doing is wrong .
Empror keep his head down
