The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 105

Princess Sophia's POV

It was so early in the morning and I wondered why I felt so hungry. My stomach rumbled and I could hear it growl.

If only I could give it what it wanted. I was at the mercy of my parents as they chose when I was supposed to be served food. If they decided that I was supposed to eat just once in a whole day, then I was going to be served once.

What they didn't know was that Ivan always found a way to get food for me. Just like the previous night, I had nothing to eat. Well, food was served to me but the maid and guard that brought it looked at me disdainfully and I kicked the plate away in anger. It was only then that I realised that I had nothing else to eat and I was quite famished. They just cleared the place and took the plate away. Stupid fools.

Luckily for me, Ivan arrived just in time and he got me some food. I was so pissed and angry that I didn't even let him touch me and thankfully, he understood my mood and let me be. Not without leaving the food behind, which I enjoyed so well.

I didn't know why my parents would choose to treat me so badly despite all we had been through together. Despite what had happened, I didn't think I deserved to be treated the way I was.

I wasn't the one who switched myself. It was my mother who did that. I had just been born at the time; how on Earth was I supposed to have stopped her?

It was only after I had grown up a bit that she told me. I was already eighteen. What was I supposed to do? Tell my parents that they weren't my parents? Leave my position as a Princess which I had enjoyed for eighteen long years and become a servant? Would they have done the same if they were in my shoes? Certainly not and they knew it. They just thought it wise to use me as a scapegoat.

They didn't care about how I felt concerning the whole situation. I

No one did. They were only so keen to judge. It wasn't easy for me at all. I had already gotten so used to the life of royalty that I didn't know how I was to survive outside of it.

Besides, I was going to be met with ridicule and insults and even some physical abuse from the maids, guards and anyone else whom I might have stepped on his or her toes in the past. The people might have made me a laughing stock and I would have to bow my head in shame wherever I went, for a crime that I didn't commit.

The only crime I committed was being born. If I wasn't, I'd have had nothing to do with the chains around my hands and my legs. I would never have needed to have sex with a guard, not for my pleasure but for favours.

Well, I had more pressing issues to concern myself with. My stomach still called out to me for help and I hoped that Ivan would come. I doubted that though, especially with the way I treated him the previous night.

The door to my cell suddenly opened and I turned around with a smile, hoping that it was Ivan. It wasn't, and the smile was knocked back off my face as I beheld the two people that I didn't want to see for any reason.

My parents walked into the dungeon, side by side, probably to pay me a courtesy visit as they didn't look like people who had a verdict to pronounce. They were alone too. They'd have come with some guards if they wanted to pass a verdict.

"Leave here, this instant!" I yelled at them with anger in my heart. "I don't want to see any of you. Get out!"
