Chapter 2: Freedom
Song inspiration: Royals by Lorde
"Your highness!" Amelia's ladies maid cried. "You asked for me to awake you today?" She said as Amelia lifted her head and rubbed her eyes.
"Yes, Adeline." Amelia said as she yawned.
"Would you like to wear your new outfit today, madam?" She asked as she walked over to her and helped her out of bed.
"Yes, Adeline, but I can get it." Amelia told her.
"But... miss..." Adeline froze.
"Adeline just because I am the princess doesn't mean I'm helpless." She smiled.
"Ok, madam." Adeline smiled.
She went to her wardrobe and got the new out for out. It was made from silk and wool. It had pink ruffled sleeves and the rest was an ivy green. She put on her corset and fiddled with the tie.
"Adeline I take my word back... I need help with the string!" She chuckled as she turned to her maid.
Adeline made her way over and started to count.
"One, two, three." She said as she tinged on the strings and Amelia sucked in her breath.
"Oh good heavens! Why are we forced to wear such cursed things in order to be seen as beautiful?" Amelia squealed as her lungs grasped for air. She threw on her dress and started making her way to where her father was. She found him and curtsied.
"You needed to see me, your majesty." Amelia said.
She felt odd calling her own father that.
"Yes. Even though today is your freedom day we need you to continue your other weekly activities." George spoke.
Amelia froze. She hated doing classes and on the one day she had somewhat freedom he wanted to take it away? "You are to no longer continue your free days." He commanded.
Amelia wanted to scream.
"Yes, sir." She said half-bitterly.
Why? Why was he doing this!? Amelia already felt like she was going insane. No freedom at all. She felt trapped. Not only did she disagree with them fighting France but she disagreed with this life. Sure she had servants but her whole life was planned out also. This was the last straw. She wanted to escape but was terrified of being charged with treason. Amelia wanted more than this life. She made up her mind. She was going to sneak away.

She slipped out of her room and made it to the stables. She tacked up her clysdale(who she was often picked at about because her horse was so stocky). His name was Orion. She mounted him and waited until the guards weren't watching. She slowly started making her way out the gates. She wanted to rule another life.
She rode through the night until it was morning. She saw the harbor and breathed in the scent of salt water. She pulled off the hood of her cloak and squinted in the dawn's sun. Amelia dismounted and handed off Orion for him to be put in the stables on the ship. She boarded and went to her cabin.
She wanted freedom so she was going to a land of freedom.
Hey guys! This is a difficult kind of story but I enjoy it. These chapters aren't going to have a word count goal. Just I write and I publish. Tell me what you all think!
