( I will try to make this longer ) 

Brave POV : 

The rest of the ceremony was very quick : Brave got the crown , everyone ate the cake , everyone hated the cake , everyone spitted the cake .  

People kinda hated Hubert , Harris and Hamish . But , Brave had to admit that it was funny to see her mother and her father's face when they discovered that there was salt instead of sugar. 

Sadly , Brave was so focused on the prank , that she totally forgot the " talk " between her and her father and her mother . 

Ughhhhh !!! Why are they so annoying !! 

After the ceremony ended , Brave spent time in her room . Starring at herself in the mirror . She was glad that the kingdom wanted her to be a queen but deep inside down . Inside her , hiding in the shadows and the pain , she knew she didn't want this . 

She didn't want any of this !! 

" Merida !! " shouted Elinor 

" What do you want , mother ?? " asked Brave 

" What did you do out there ?? " 

" I made a good impression , just like you asked me to " 

" That wasn't a good impression !! " 

" As long as the kingdom liked me , I think that's enough " 

" No , it's not !! You need to learn to do everything the best way not the worst " 

" Mom , I already told , I do not want to be a queen " 

" You will be queen , when you grow up !! " 

" Mom , I can't !! I just can't !! You , out of all people should know it !! People say that parents know their children very well , right now , it seems like you just met me . I don't want to be queen or princess , or anything , all I ask for is freedom " 

" For the last time : You don't get freedom !!! You're a princess , so you should act like one and stop whining , you should be grateful for being a princess " 

The word hit Brave more then she wanted to show it . 

Grateful 

Grateful for what ?? 

Grateful for being a princess ?? 

Grateful for being stuck here ?? 

Grateful for having parents that don't even care about her ?? 

" I suggest for you to stay here and sleep . Tomorrow , I expect you to be perfect " 

Brave wanted to argue but stopped . There was no point in arguing . After all , her mother was  stubborn . 

Luckily , Brave had gotten that from her mother . 

She sat on her bed , remembering what her mother told her : 

Perfect

grateful 

You need to learn to do everything the best way not the worst 

You don't get freedom !!!

Brave closed her eyes . She wished it was simple to sleep and wake up the next morning with all of the problems gone . 

But , she finally understood that no matter how many times she will ask for it , no matter how many times she'll be punished , she won't stop . 

Stopping would mean give up . 

But Brave will never give up , she will continue to hope . 

But there was no point in hope !!! 

But that won't change what she wants . 

Freedom !!! 

She will make it !! She will be able to do it and in fact , she'll do it right now . 

That's when it hit her . 

If she wants freedom , will she be willing to drop her title as princess ??? 

Now that she thinks of it , she hates being a princess but , it's a part of who she is , it's a part that she sometimes enjoy . 

What to do ?? 

Only one person can help her . 

It was .................................
