of him.

"My daughter is very sick if there is some way you can help her I'll be forever grateful. I don't know if she'll make it."

Dad whispered to the man next to him and the guy took the woman away. Another woman stood infront of him with her two sons and two daughters.

"Your king." She bowed.

"State your request."

"I don't know where to turn to. My husband has just died and I have no way of feeding my children."

"I'll look for job openings for you."

"Wait that's it?"

Everyone gasped when I talked.

"That is all I can do." My dad said.

"But they're hungry." I said pointing at the kids, who were badly dressed.

"I will look for work for her."

"But they're hungry now. What will they eat?"

"MaKenna, I already said-"

"It's not good enough." I snapped.

I walked to the woman. The kids backed around their mom.

"Hey guys." I said bending.

The oldest looked about eight.

"You hungry?"

They all nodded fast. It tore at my heart. I stood.

"I'm going to give mommy some money to buy you something to eat, would you like that?"

Their little faces broke into smiles and they nodded.

"No, MaKenna-"

"You call yourself a king? These are your people who are starving." I said, turning to him.

I turned back to the woman. I pulled some money out and gave it to the woman."Please, feed them." I said, when she tried to return the money.

"Thank you Princess, I am forever grateful."

"Your thanks isn't needed, just feed the little ones. I wish you the best, and I'll make sure that work for you is found."She took my hand, bowed and then took her kids to the door.

Disgusted to be related to my Father, I turned and left. I felt sick. who could be so...so selfish to kids. I'm never having kids, it would break my heart if I ever saw someone be mean to them. I walked back to the library and sat in a chair.

"I saw what happened."

I looked up at the already familiar deep voice.

"I wanted to thank you."

"For what?" I asked.

He sat next to me, "That was my family. I work here, but it doesn't pay much."

"They were hungry. Their little tummies hurt, and they didn't understand, and he was just going to turn them away I had to do something."

"Again I thank you, You will Make a good Queen.""

Thanks." I laughed.

"You do not think so?" He asked, eyebrows pulling together.

"I just don't know."

"You will. I'm Liam."

"Kenna."

We shook hands.

"What do you do?" I asked.

"Whatever there needs to be done, little jobs. I make five dollars a day."

"Five bucks? You can get a pack of gum with that from where I'm from."

"It feeds my whole family for a meal."

"Jeesh."

"Yeah, I have to get back to work. I still can't be seen with you."

I liked how he was being less careful with his words.

"See you around Liam."

"Bye Kenna."

I walked to the dining room.

"I need you to get a new nanny for Rosalynn. I need one quick, tell them I’ll pay a hundred dollars a day." Dad was saying.

As the man passed I grabbed his arm.

"Yes Princess, I know." He smiled.

"I'd like to met with her before she sees my father. If she doesn't have anyone to watch her kids, I want her to know I will."

"Yes Princess." He bowed and I went to lunch.

"Where's your wife?" I asked.

"Beth, isn't feeling to well."

"Mommy's sick?" Bently asked.

"Eat your food." Dad said.

"She could be." Bently turned to me.

"Or maybe she's just tired. So how's your day so far?"

"Our day?"

"Yes your day." I said, touching Rose's nose.

She laughed. Ss they ate they told me about their day so far, interrupting each other to tell me how the story really happened. i Nodded and laughed, as I ate. My Dad stayed quiet and ate.

"MaKenna stay behind." Dad said, as the kids ran to play.

"Yes?" I asked turning to him.

"How did you become so well with kids?"

"I don't know." I said, crossing my arms.

"Perhaps you want to be Rose's Nanny?"

"I'm a Princess, Not some baby sitter."

"Very well." He smiled.

"Hey dad?" I asked, as he turned.

"Yes?"

"I kind of have someone in line for the job."

"Is she good with kids?"

"Very."

"Then she will not need to meet with me. She'll meet with you, and you shall decide if she gets the job."

"As you whish." I said, trying to not jump up and down.

He nodded and left the room. I looked around the room. What if I was poor like that, and I had sibblings, that couldn't eat. I wiped my eyes to stop the tears I felt coming.

*****

I couldn't sleep so I went to the Library. I sat down and let the fire warm my face.

"Nice night gown."

"Hey." I laughed, as Liam sat down.

"Hey."

"Don't you go home?"

"No, I live here."

"So you don't get to see your family?"

"No." He said, looking away from me.

"So if you work in the castle you have to live here right?"

"Yeah."

"What happens if you work here and you have kids?"

"I don't know." He shrugged.

Great here I am thinking I'm doing something good when I'll be ripping a family apart.

"I don't even get to give her the money I make, I have to mail it every sunday, and whatever I earned they have to make it last."

"I would say I understand, but I don't. I wish I did but I don't. I mean sure there where those times me and my mom starved at the end of the month, but never all the time. There was times I could go and eat whatever I wanted. My dad's just an ass, he wasn't going to do anything."

"I saw." Liam said, leaning back in the chair, he'd claimed.

"I can't stand selfish people." I whispered, pulling my legs onto the chair, I'd claimed.

"You know if your pour they have you live in this comunity and it's pretty bad."

"That's just stupid."

A man walked by the door and Liam ducked in his chair.

"Where is that no good- Princess." The man said, bowing.

"Who are you looking for?"

"That servent boy."

"Are you not a servent man?"

"But Princess-"

"No. You too where once a boy trying to make it where you not?"

"Yes, Princess."

"Well then, no more Servent boy. He may be in the kitchen or bathrooms scrubbing the floors for all you Know, Be gone."

"Thank you Princess." The man left, after bowing.

I looked to the chair but Liam was already gone. The next day I woke up early. I put on jeans and a T-shirt and my boots. I snuck out and went to the Poor area. I sloshed through the wet mud, and looked around. This is some hunger games Shit. Everyone stopped cleaning and looked over at me. Little kids that ran around, came to a stop.

"Princess!"

I turned in time to catch a little girl with blond curls. I saw it was Liam’s youngest sister. I put her on my hip.

"Did you eat?"

"Yes, it was Yummy, my tummy doesn't hurt." She said, hugging my neck.

"Princess Princess!"

the other three came to me I put the Blond girl down and hugged the other kids.

"Princess what are you doIng here?" The woman asked, bowing.

"I needed to talk to you."

"You came all the way here, where it's dirty?"

I hugged her., "You are not dirty. You are a person that deserves to be treated like one." I stood on a stump. "All of you do! I know you don't trust me, Heck I'm just sixteen. Just because you can't afford the better life, it's no excuse to keep you all together from everyone else." Everyone began to crowd around me. "It's wrong. I'm not going to lie, I don't know anything about being a Princess, but I'm guessing they help people. Even if they don't I do. I'm going to help with whatever I can. Together we can pull this place together. Somehow I'm going to get you jobs or something, cause it breaks my heart to see you starve cause you can't afford it while all the rich people and my Dad sit on their butts and just watch." Everyone clapped, and started to talk. "Right now, I want all of you to get together and make a list of what you want changed, I'll keep an eye on the kids."

everyone began to move. The little kids gathered around me. They watched me with wide eyes.

"What do you guys want?" I asked.

"Food." A little girl said.

"Blankets or clothes." A boy said.

"What about shoes?" A girl asked."

Yeah, What about clean drinking water?" A boy said.

"Yeah, maybe we could take showers." A girl said.

"What about toys?" A little girl asked.

"You want toys?"

She nodded.

"Like dollies or cars?"

The kids started to nod and began to talk.

"I think it's good enough that you care about us." Liam's oldest younger brother, who was quite until now said.

"Yeah no one cares anymore, but you do princess." The oldest sister said, hugging my leg.

"Okay, I'm going to work on getting you guys all this stuff."

"Promise?" Liam's youngest little brother asked.

"I promise." I said, bending down to hug him.

All the little kids came to me then, giving me hugs.

"Princess?"

I looked over at Liam's mom. She handed me a dirty piece of papper.

"Don't worry I'm going to fix this." I hugged her. "Okay kids, I need you to do something, can you do that for Princess?"

They all nodded.

"I need all of you, now this is a big job Okay? I need all of you to stick together, and play as a big group, where all the adults can see you. Can you do that?"

They all nodded. I took Liam's mom off to the side.

"Princess."

"No, Kenna, and no more thank you's. My little sister Rose needs a nanny. It pays One hundred dollars a day. My dad said I can hire one. I picked you."

"Oh thank you!" She said, pulling me in for a hug.

"Now, you'll have to start now, But, I'm going to stay here and help with everything, and I'm going to watch your kids, while you work. You have to live there, but If you can get there before Rose wakes up you can stay here."

"Will you show me where to go?"

"Uh, do you Have someone to watch the kids?"

"I'll do it Grace."

"Your sweet, Haylee." She told the 14 year old.

After Grace bathed and got right to taking care of Rose, I took off into town. I used one of the bigger hourse carriages with a smaller one on the back of it. Apperently cars weren't used, the limo was a rental from the next country over. I got each kid three outfits, two shoes and three toys to start off with. I didn't want my dad to notice I was dipping into his money. I got everything I needed and went back to the James Shelter. Yeah I know that's crappy to call it that.

"Princess!" All the kids yelled, as I stepped out of the carriage.

I opened the back doors to the smaller one. it was like a empty moving trailor.

"I Need all the little kids to step forward." I handed them each a toy."Now go play by the stump guys."

They all ran.

"Okay mom's I got clothes for all the kids and shoes, so come on up, so you can put all the stuff inside."

"Alright, Girls 12-14 I need you to keep an eye on the little kids. 15-17, your with me, wheres the guys?"

"They're hunting." A girl said.

"Where's the teen guys?" I asked.

"They're sleeping, like the lazy asses they are." A girl With dark hair, said crossing her arms.

"Okay, You six go wake their asses up. You six stay with me. Uh you, whats your name?"

"Jenny."

"Come on Jenny."

We hadnded everything down to the girls.

"Who are you?" A guy asked.

"My names Kenna, and if you’re going to be a dick, I'm going to kick your ass."

"Wait you’re the Princess."

I ignored that one.

"Okay, these buckets are going to be used as showers. First The boys are going to put them like on the roof some how, and then we'll conect these hoses onto them, through this little whole thing in the bucket like this." I showed everyone as I went and they payed attention.

"We can
