Part 1

Stupid Step-Sisters

Allison F. Jones glared at the rather dirty marble floor, willing it to clean itself. Her will could easily over take this floor's will! The floor refused to wash itself. Her drive could beat anything! The floor scoffed in the face of her attempts.

Okay, maybe not...

"Allison!"

Said young woman choked and rushed to grab her cleaning equipment. Moments after she managed to at least looks like she had been doing something, Her two step-sisters stomped in, followed by an annoyed older woman.

This trio were Alice, Allison's stepmother, Manon and Denisa Kirkland. Alice had married her father, Alfred Jones, a few years back after his parents insisted that he get over his deceased wife. Frankly, Allison had been insulted by the comment, as she had loved her mother very much. Manon and Denisa were the daughters of Alice's divorced husband, Arthur Kirkland, and both were horrible.

Especially to Allison.

Her father, Alfred, was usually out, working for his business. Oh, she loved her father dearly, but she wished he didn't have to work so much. Of course, his working hard could be attributed to her step family, as their budget had seemed to skyrocket after they had joined the family.

Allison huffed to herself as she remembered how sweet and kind they acted towards her before her father married Alice. Now, however, they acted like she was their slave, unless Alfred was around. She cleared her throat then, trying not to twitch in general rage toward Alice. "Yes, Step-Mother?" The older woman crossed her arms. "Why isn't this floor done? Nor the bathrooms cleaned?"

"I...ran out of cleaning supplies. Step-Mother."

The elder gave her a disbelieving look but did not question her any farther, "Well, you better be quick about it, as the three of us shall be heading to the royal ball tonight." Allison froze, "...I assume I will not be attending then?" Manon and Denisa gave her dark smiles and Alice gave a jerky nod, "You shall be here, taking care of the rest of the chores. Understood?"

"Yes, Step-Mother."

"Good." And with that final comment, she and her daughters left the room, the two youngest shooting Allison mocking looks. "What a witch with a capital B," Allison muttered, gathering her things to begin cleaning once again. Though, she was rather used to the treatment, so it was no surprise to her that the bit-Er, jerk, would say no to her going to the ball.

Of course, she hadn't really wanted to go anyway...It just would have been nice to get out of the house was all.

Kiku Wang-Honda, crown prince and heir apparent of Japarica, sighed deeply. Why oh why had he allowed his parents to bully him into this? Oh, that's right... he had been raised to respect his elders. Dammit.

The brown eyed teen sighed again as he stared out across the courtyard of the castle. Below where many carriages, each carrying a pair of nobles, and usually, their eldest daughter. The deadpan expression clearly told the world what he thought of that.

"Brother!" called a female voice, making Kiku turn towards the speaker.

Said young woman happened to be his younger sister, Lin Yin Wang-Honda. Following her was his two brothers, Li Xio Chun Wang-Honda and Im Yong So Wang-Honda. Their mother, Chun-Yan Wang-Honda, stood at the doors that connected the hall he was in to the next one over.

"Sister," He greeted softly, nodding to his other siblings and mother, "But where is father?" Ivan Wang-Honda-Braginski was the current ruler of Japarica, if only because he had married his mother. But he was kind ruler...Strict when necessary and gentle when not. Kiku was thankful for that, as he was unsure if he could support a leader was unjust...even if that leader was his father.

Chun-Yan stepped forward, holding up a hand in her own hello, "Ivan is currently greeting the guests for the ball. We thought it prudent to come and get you, as this ball is all about you and your coming of age." "Mother," the young man murmured, "I truly wish you did not ask this of me...However, I shall respect your decision." The elder gave a weak smile that was accompanied with a sigh.

"I wish that it had not come to this either..."
