In a blink of an eye, my life was turned upside down...
"Just one final exam, until I go to university!" I exclaimed giving my self motivation. This was it, I was finally graduating! I walked downstairs, trying to act as if it was a normal day, but...
"Sofia...Sofia, wake up!" Someone put their hand on my waist, and started to shake me. I tried to throw a pillow at their face, but before I could do that, they held my hand, and made me sit up. I whined like a toddler, and tried to get out of their grip. "Sofia... no stop, stop it!" My vision became clearer, as I managed to make out a figure standing by the door laughing, and Leo holding my hand.... sh*t...Leo! "Oh no, I'm so sorry Leo, I had no idea!" He smiled, but the figure that was standing near the door frame kept laughing. I threw a pillow at that person, but that person caught it, laughing even more, as I threw them a death glare. "UGH! Shut it, before I shoot you right here, right now!" I was capable of shooting, my father had shown me! My padre (father) taught me how to defend myself, with just hands, or weapons. When I was 13, he gave me a choice, to continue learning self defense with him, or, I could continue learning the way of becoming 'a proper lady'. I gladly took the first option, which I found more interesting, and since I liked the thought of protecting myself, and my siblings, which now I regret, because I get no credit from them.
That person furrowed their eyebrows, and laughed, "can you now?" Sparing no thought, I took out the gun from under my pillow, and shot a bullet near their head, a few cm above. "Still think that?" I said in a serious tone. My face showed, 'don't mess with me', but the figure smirked and came forward, with a hint of sarcasm, the person spoke "now, why would you shoot someone who helped with your shopping yesterday?" My eyes went wide, as I finally recognized Alessandro's voice. He chuckled lightly, "don't stress over it, you did no harm, beside threaten me. However, I should congratulate you, you proved to me that even a lady can be Satan!"
"Excuse me little lads, but I need to get ready, so if you don't mind, or if you are gentleman material, you will get out!" I gave them my best innocent smile, because their expression was priceless! They nearly sprinted out of my room, as I laughed at their childish behavior.
After a nice long hot shower, I threw on my oversized t-shirts, and denim shorts that reached my mid-thighs. I let my hair out, so they could air-dry, and slid down the staircase railing towards the kitchen. I grabbed my coffee mug, and decided to make myself coffee with pancakes. I made 4 pancakes for everyone, before going to the garden to grab some fresh blueberries and strawberries. I cut the strawberries up before putting all the blueberries and cut strawberries in a white bowl. After that, I decided to make my own chocolate syrup, since I never really like the shop bought one. I added all the sugar and coca in a bowl, before mixing it to make sure all the lumps were gone, then I added some water, before putting it on heat. After it was cool, I added a little bit of vanilla, and mixed it until it was ready. I put everything on the table, and shouted, "come to breakfast if you want any!" With one call, everyone was there within 5 seconds. "Did you make everything?" Alessandro asked with his mouth watering. I nodded, and blushed when he looked impressed.
I made Caleb's and Merila's the same way I make mine, because that is how we all liked ours. I put four pancake in a stack, with chocolate syrup in a drizzle, and blueberries and almonds on top.

I was in my study, when all of a sudden, a knock came. "Come in!" I sighed, not lifting up my head to see who it was. I had so much to do: sign some charity work, send my official 'Queen to be' documents (so I could deal with things), then find a tutor who could continue Caleb's and Merila's study. "S, we found something!" I stretched, and continued the work I was doing, "what did you find?"
"Your parent's last wish, and will.." he said, almost in a hushed tone. That got my attention. I dropped my pen, and rushed over to his side to see what was written.
The Letter:

As soon as I read the letter and the will, I started to cry. "How are you feeling?" Leo asked me
"I don't know!" I whispered-yelled to Leo, as I picked up a pen from a holder, and threw it on the wall. Alessandro came in, breathless. "Leave me alone, please?" I asked both boys, as they both nodded and left the room.
Alessandro's point of view:
As soon as I heard a bang, I came rushing in to Sofia's study room. Seeing her cry, made my heart break. My eyes traveled down to what she was holding, as I realized she was holding her parent's last letter. I internally sighed, as she asked, "Leave me alone, please?" We both nodded as we left the room. "What happened?" I asked Leo
"She found out that she is going to marry you, cuz!"
I frustratingly groaned out loud. My sister Amelia came to hug me, as I knew that if someone told her, that she was supposed to be married to me, she will never trust me again.
