Artemis' POV

I'm laying in my bed room, my sweatpants pushed up to my knee as I lounge around on my bed. I have a Faerie podcast going thats talking about current news in the world as I scroll through my phone.

If Mother was here, she would tell me that I'm wasting away a day of learning by being on my phone, but this is the research I need to be doing.

I scroll through social media, looking under the hashtags for Faerie, CrownPrincess and any other relevant hashtag that could help me figure out what the hell is going on around here. Literally everyone in this castle has been acting a tad bit strange since I've been home and I know it's not simply overthinking on my behalf.

I go to switch from instagram to snapchat when I hear my Chambers door open. Mildly alarmed and curious I rise off my bed to head towards my bedroom door, opening it to reveal Percy, my advisor in all things that has to do with becoming the Crown princess one day, Annalise right behind him.

"Pardon the interruption your highness, but there is a Tea that you Mother will be hosting within the hour and she requested the two of us to help you get ready." She says, bowing her head respectfully.

"Anna, when will you just call me Art?" I ask her, exasperated with her commitment to never call me by name and only by the title that I hate with a burning vengeance.

" When I desire to be put to death, Princess." She answers but I can see a smirk slit across her face as I step aside to let her into my room and towards my closet room thats in the back. I turn back to my advisor with a warm smile.

"Percy." I greet and I lean forward to hug him which he returns with a lopsided grin, the only boy in all the kingdom and world thats made me want to have a lover.

Now twenty-four, the two of us were raised together and were inseparable, and since he was older and got along with me famously, he trained to become my adviser which he did when I was twelve and he was sixteen.

Last when I was home, he was still without his Knot and was still the Castle flirt that no one could quite ignore despite others warnings. He and my brother have used their titles as the castle whores, but at least Percy pretends to be respectful with his conquests.

"Artemis. You look as bitchy as ever." He proclaims, bowing deep in mocking and I shove him, though the poise bastard doesn't lose his standing in the slightest.

"I've missed having you around. The advisers in the south were all boring, old and wrinkly." I tell him and he laughs, throwing his head back a little as he puts hit perfect teeth on display.

"Well, none of the other members of the Royal party are quite as fun as you. Something tells me that I have my work cut out of me, however." He says and he doesn't phrase it as a question and I ignore the jab at my past insolence, never having found the point in studying something that I more than likely won't need.

"Who is attending this Tea?" I ask him, turning away from the door and walking towards the closet where I can here Annalise humming and looking through the clothes in my closet and I know that whatever she's going to pick out for me, it's going to be dreadful.

"Your Mother, Princess Lucile and Suzi will be attending as well as the Head Faeries of each Talent." He tells me and I look at him.

"All of them will be there? Did I miss an important announcement?" I ask him, confused on why the most important people in the Faerie community will be at a simple tea.

"No, Princess, not that I'm aware of. Your brother has been invited but I don't think he's coming. Well, perhaps, but not to the tea." He tells me and I give him a deadpanned look, and he snickers at me much to my dissatisfaction.

Annalise comes out of the closet with a plum dress, simple but elegant, just how I like it and I know it's time for me to take a shower and get ready to meet everyone for the first time in two years.

I take my hair out of the messy bun I threw it to and turn towards my Advisor, friend and Tutor all in one. "Percy, tell Jasper I need him at that meeting. I don't care if his dick is swallowed by a random hole, drag him out of there by his balls of you have to." I tell him and he cackles, clearly enjoying the image I've created.

"If he's engaged in such activities do I have the Crown Princess' approval to join?" He asks me and I internally shake my head at his whorish ways.

"Yes you do, as long as the two of you are here before the end of the hour." I tell him, sarcasm dripping through my tone but I know that if Jasper lets him, I won't be seeing him for the next thirty minutes.

He gives me a bow and a wink before he turns on his heel and makes his way out of my rooms.

✨✨✨

I'm placing my hair up into small ringlets, my dress being smoothed out form behind me as I straighten my outfit when I hear the door open, two pairs of footsteps coming towards my room.

I check the clock on my wall and turn towards me brother and advisor with amused and disgusted expression.

"Well, it seems as if your highness isn't the only generous one." Percy says with a smirk and I gag as my advisor laughs, both of their heads of hair giving every clue as to what they were just doing.

"I beg of you, please don't bring such vile energy into my safe place." I beg the two fo them and Jasper hops into my bed while Percy stands off to the left side of me respectfully.

"What am I here for then?" Jasper asks, his head propped up on his head as he looks at me with mock confusion.

"I need you to do that thing. That big brother, 'yeah I can fuck with her but you can't thing.' " I tell him, turning around as Anna steps away with a proud smile on her face.

"I haven't used that skill in two and a half years Art. I don't know if I will be any good at it. What is it for anyway?" He asks me, his voice the picture of disinterested as he whips out his phone and texts someone on it, though I know it's no one of importance. We're not allowed to text people we know on our phones, the scare of getting hacked too real for someone in the royal family. Instead all we do is respond to comments on our social media posts that are run by our Advisors.

Our real communication is old school, Flash letters that have been around for thousands of years.

"Brother instincts are forever it's like riding a bike. And it's for a Tea. Mom, Aunt Lucile, Suzi and all the Head Talents will be there." I say and he whistles deep and long as he hears who I'm up against for the first Tea back in town.

"Tough crowd." He tells me and I nod my head, already knowing that this more than likely won't go that good for me.

"Please Jasper." I beg him and he finally groans.

"Fine. As payment, I'm stealing your adviser tonight to head own into town." He tells me a smirk forming on his face as he thinks about all the things that the two of them could probably get into together. Literally.

Yuck.

"Deal." I tell him checking with a glance towards Percy to make sure it's okay and he just winks at me making me cringe.

Boys disgust me.

"Alright. Let's go disappointment our Mother shall me?" Jasper says, pushing himself off of my bed and gesturing with a flourish for me to lead the way which I do, Jasper and Percy hot in my trail as Anna just wishes us luck.
