The Queen's Line
Long ago in London, the monarchy decided to let a queen rule, something strange, because back then men were the respected ones, they were the ones supposed to rule, but king George V died and he wanted his only child, Elizabeth, to rule the country, and as his wishes, were orders, when he died Elizabeth was his successor.
At first, she was really scared she didn’t know how to do be a queen, how to rule a whole country, that made her feel really nervous, just to think that then the whole kingdom was hers and she needed to rule, to succeed because she needed to show everyone that women could do the hard work, that women were more than baby-making machines. And at first she was like a little baby who didn’t know how to walk or what to do, not even what to say to people but through time she learned, she became a real queen, someone to be proud of, she was happy.
When she was 27 years old, people started wandering why didn’t she had a husband, she was getting old and the kingdom needed a successor. So, as she saw herself desperate to find a husband, she decided that she would marry his best friend, who could be better for the job of beating a husband than his best friend, but at first he refused the offer; however, Elizabeth didn’t get tired of asking, she was persistent, and at the end, she convinced him of doing what she wanted.
Finally, one year later, they got married, and because queen
Elizabeth did not like wasting time, they started creating heirs one year after the marriage. The firstborn was named William after his father. Then, as William grew up, his parents couldn’t avoid noticing that he was amazing, he was born to be a king: his attitude, discipline, his behavior in general, was one that deserved the crown, so Elizabeth was so happy to see how her little son had such a great personality and she decided that he needed to start classes to develop his characteristics, so he started taking classes of how to be a successful king at the age of 5 years old.
William said to his son was too young to take those classes , but Elizabeth said that it was never too early for someone to learn on how to rule, especially if he was the heir to the throne.
Unexpectedly, one day William woke up to the news that Elizabeth was pregnant again, so he was beyond happy, he felt very excited for the amazing news. Time elapsed, and 9 months later their son had been born and they were full of happiness, a joy that didn’t last long, due to the fact that his little son, Harry, was not like William, he was messy, crazy, he did what he wanted, and when he wanted to, so queen Elizabeth tried to make him focus in things he needed to, but she couldn’t.
Years went by, the heirs grew, and as they grew they became more mature, well, at least William did, Charles wasn’t someone his mother was proud of, that guy had caused a lot of trouble in the castle, rumors and scandals about him were everywhere, his mother was going nuts with him, she knew that he wasn’t going to be a king, even if he was the only one left to be, he didn’t have neither the spirit, nor the strength to become a king. He served in the marine, he loved helping people, but he couldn’t be king.
When Harry was 24 years old, he had a girlfriend that his mother disliked so much, she told him to breakup with her several times, and as always, he didn’t follow the advice. He even married her, and here is when the thing get ugly, his mother couldn’t stand it anymore. Harry could not respect her nor her order, but he needed to respect the blood line.
That’s the moment when Elizabeth lost her mind and decided to kill Meghan, Harry’s fiancé. She plans all perfectly, so one day, after a big event, Meghan was into, Elizabeth told Harry he was invited to dinner in her house, so he went to the car with his mother while Meghan was in the other car with two of her friends. When Harry got home with his mother, he received the awful news that her fiancé had died, a part of him knew it was his mother fault, but the other didn’t dare to believe it.
Elizabeth was happy, now she could find a new girl for Harry, someone who deserves being part of the blood line. Then 3 days after Meghan’s death, something strange started happening at the castle, it started with things moving by themselves, then shadows, but a month later, it was so stronger that it talked, Elizabeth knew Meghan was haunting her.
One night she was asleep and Meghan appeared, she told her that she would be haunted till her death. Elizabeth told William about it, but he didn’t believe her. So life does pays off.
A year later, Elizabeth commited suicide in her room, she couldn’t stand it anymore.
