Crimson’s Creative Challenge #50
Copyright Crispina Kemp
I couldn’t believe it. I’d married royalty.
A fine carriage, inlaid with gold and precious jewels, carried me through the gates into his estate. I was completely unaware when those gates closed I’d become a prisoner.
I was no simpleton. I came from the streets of life. I’d clawed, fought, and manipulated my way into the royal court. My husband thought I was an innocent maiden willing to provide for his every need.
I might have, if he’d loved me as much as I loved him.
I soon realized who he was and what he’d done to previous wives.
He was naive and didn’t see me coming.
No one cares what happened to him, now that I rule.
Servants are not beaten.
Sharecroppers keep of their crops and didn’t starve.
I don’t make the same mistake twice.
I found true love, a real prince, who teats me like a princess.

I’m a science fiction and fantasy author. I’m looking for podcasts and blogs who might be interested in interviewing me.
Do you have any suggestions?
I like what you’ve fone with the prompt. After getting over the disappointment of me not being royalty. Not even titled. Shucks.
LOL. Well, you still have your fans.
Glad you liked my story. You inspired me.
I’m happy at that. That is the intent with the choice of photos, though there are times I wonder if it’s going to work. So far… yes.
So far, yes. ;0)
