I Will Not He had been called to duty, though they all should have been in bed by this hour of the night… or rather, morning. Her mother and brother had returned and no doubt her mother was now retiring to bed, if not already asleep. //It looked like they had made peace. I suppose later this morning I will know.// It was progress if her family were on speaking terms and not avoiding conversations for fear of saying something to upset her. She wanted her mother and brother to be on good terms, though Milliardo would never look at her mother as his mother. He had memories of the woman who had given birth to them both. //He does not say much about his childhood after Sanc fell. He goes to great pains to avoid the subject, but one day I’ll weasel the information out of him. A little bit at a time is fine, so long as I eventually get the whole story.// It was a mission she had decided she would pursue soon after he had returned to Sanc and circumstances had conspired to force him into the acceptance of a crown. “I’m sorry, Brother, but the truth is you are far more suited to rule than I. You have seen the worst and the best, the good and the bad in every man. You have survived your own demons. Who better to restore the haven for peace Sanc once was? I’m just a naïve little rich girl who has never known what it is to bleed, never seen the utter horror man can inflict upon his fellow man. You knew exactly what you were doing and I stumbled along, being used and somehow survived to be proclaimed a heroine.” Idiocy, but she was stuck with the adulation, doomed never to live life as an ordinary person. Neither of them could and for that reason they needed each other. They could not live as ordinary citizens but that did not mean they could not garner some happiness from the goldfish bowl that was their existence. “I will not be as my fathers were. I will not do as they did. I will work for the good of the people, but I will not work to the exclusion of my family. I have as much right to be happy as any child standing on the corner of a street in any city in the world. I have responsibilities to that child, but I have responsibilities to my family too. My family needs me.” She had intended to talk with her mother concerning her father’s long absences in his position as Vice-Foreign Minister. She would have those discussions and speak with her brother as well. A balance must be struck between a family life and a political life. She wanted a husband, children and she wanted to serve their people. It was up to her to find the position to balance both and claim it. “Mission accepted.” She whispered. End
