I appeared in my bedroom and immediately looked in my mirror. Yellow Dress, long.. Purple!? Why was my hair purple!? I.. I.. My eyes were purple as well? They were supposed to be green. What was going on?!

  I ripped the stupid dress off, also not the right color. My body looked right outside the obviously wrong pieces. Even my lower area had red hair. Then.. Why? Turning, I rushed over to my wardrobe and pulled it open. All.. Yellow. Every single dress was yellow. Every single dress was the same. I instinctively stepped back.

  Had I been color blind all this time or something? Or was it.. I winced as the memory of that naked girl with the blonde hair choked me to death. The choking wasn’t even real to me at first, then I began to feel pain. I tried to grab her, make her stop as the pain became unbearable.

  But it was the look that was everything. There was hatred and dominance in those eyes. I would recognize defending what was mine more than anything. My problem wasn’t that I recognized it. It was that I felt it.. I.. I the physical sensation of being choked, I felt the rage and protectiveness of her emanating like a storm.

  I shivered and a single tear crawled down my cheek. My eyes flashed red and fire burned away the single tear. I clenched my teeth, she would pay. I didn’t know what was happening, but first things first. I needed a new dress.

  I grabbed the stupid yellow dress. A princess walking around naked in public was unseemly after all! Putting on the disgustingly bright color, I left my room and instantly noticed the empty hallway. Then I heard the strangest thing. “Hero!”

  I turned right as a maid turned the corner and rushed me?! “Stand down!” I said as I tried to backup. But she was deranged and tackled me to the ground. She ripped my yellow dress off and grabbed my breasts.

  Heat filled me and I grabbed her head. I stared into her eyes as I set her head on fire, then began to heat her up until her eyes went vacant. I had overheated her brain and killed her. I pushed her off, then kicked her a few times for good measure before dragging her body back to my room.

  I grabbed another dress and shook my head as I looked in the mirror. “That was… weird” I said aloud to myself. Shaking my head again, I forced a smile and a cute voice. “Well that was weird!”

  I did a little curtsy and smiled as I did so before nodding. Perfect! Turning, I left the room again and made my way to the front of the castle. A few more of our maids attacked me for some reason. But the moment they cried “Hero!” I instantly shot a fireball at them.

  They didn’t duck, dodge, or even try to slow down. So they usually hit the ball head on and died instantly. I tapped on the front castle doors and appeared on the other side. After a long moment of shock and horror, I quickly rushed down the steps to the nearest guard. “What happened?!”

  My voice was full of feigned innocence. As a princess, I had to keep up appearances. Unlike my useless sister Sapphire, I had a duty to our kingdom. Our father was a failure as a King and I would lead our people to prosperity. Even as this.. Strangeness overcomes me.

  The guard didn’t move.. Didn’t react. He just.. Stood there. After a moment of silence, I playfully poked at him to get his attention… no response. I felt a rage bubble inside me and my body warmed up. I took a deep calming breath, making sure not to break my smile.

  Instead, I ignored the worthless guard. I would make sure he was removed from his post later and walked over to the other guard at the gates. Bouncing on my feet and swirling my dress, I blinked cutely at the guard. No response. I held back an eye twitch and asked “Royal Guard, what is happening in the city?”

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  Silence… My vision turned red and I grabbed the guard. His metal melted under my hands and his leg melted off. The guard instantly called out “Halt lawbreaker!” and pulled out his halberd. I stared in utter shock at the sudden violence. Mine and his…

  What had I just done? Why did that.. Before I could even finish, I felt pain in my head and everything went black.

  I appeared in my room… naked. I stood alone in silence, staring blankly into space. What.. just happened. Someone just.. Just killed me. My own.. My own guard?! My vision turned fully red and I stormed out of the room naked. I rushed down the hallway and punched the front door to the castle. Stepping outside, I saw the guard's leg I had melted off had already recovered his leg and was just standing there.

  I felt my feet begin to melt the cement underneath me and I brought my hand up. Summoning a large ball of fire, I launched it at the guard without mercy. He was incinerated in one shot. The other guard instantly called out “Halt! You have broken the…” He wasn’t able to finish as another large ball of fire consumed him too.

  Panting heavily, I felt the heat slowly recede and my vision clear of red. It was only then, I realised what I had done. I felt the blood drain from my face as I looked at the two smoldering corpses. The sharp pain from behind, then sudden darkness caught me by surprise.

  I appeared in my room again and stared blankly at the wall. Another.. Guard.. Killed me. I felt the tile flooring warping and melting as I burnt two foot shaped holes into them. I turned, and walked out of the door. The guards I had killed were still smoldering at the gate.

  I looked to the two guards by the front door. I was done with mercy. I held up both hands and put on a happy smile as two large fireballs formed in each hand. Once the guards were melted slag and the backups that kept appearing.. Stopped appearing, I happily turned, and walked out the gate and towards the nearest shop.

  I made it about three steps before I heard “HERO!!!!!” My eye twitched and I summoned a fireball before launching it directly at the peasant woman who screamed it. She had been running at me. She was now ash blowing away in the wind. It really was a lovely day out.

  By the time I made it to the nearest shop, literally down the street from the castle. I had killed and turned to ash or slag, around thirty different citizens. The people in my kingdom had gone mad!

  I was heartbroken to kill them. But I would not be touched by my own peasants. My body belonged to Hero and only Hero. That was simply how it was for a Princess. They belonged to the Hero. Technically, Hero could pick Sapphire..

  I giggled at that and shook my head. Hero would obviously choose me. Sapphire was a coward and a failure as a Princess. I was there to guide and help Hero. I finally reached the shop, and stepped to the side to avoid an archer with an arrow. They had started firing on me a while ago. They were all beastkin. I didn’t know how they had gotten into my kingdom, the filthy mongrels. But once I found Hero, he would fix this problem.

  I turned and summoned a flame spear, which I then threw hard at the archer. They stepped to the side to dodge and I smiled. Flicking my finger the spear changed direction mid flight and lanced through her stomach. But I wasn’t done. I flicked my finger again and the spear circled and went through her skull. Another flick, her leg. Again and again until she wasn’t even recognizable.

  There was a reason my Kingdom was all humans and elves. Beastkin were savages and deserved their stupid forest.. Until I had Hero burn it down to expand the kingdom. I entered the shop and walked over to the nearest rack. I pulled out a ruby red dress and put it on. Twirling in it I giggled. I truly was the best princess by far.

  Opening the hair styler, I looked at myself in the mirror. Purple.. Purple eyes, purple hair. I felt sick. When did this even happen? Even yesterday while that witch was killing me my hair and eyes were their normal colors.

  I shook my head, no need to think about that now. I picked the only good color and my hair changed to vibrant, yet soft red. It's long flowing arc riding down my back and waving gently. I gently caressed it as I looked in the mirror. “Perfect” I said as a matter of fact.

  I looked through eye colors and of course picked my Emerald vibrant green. Taking a step back I looked at myself with a wide smile. My fiery red dress, long luxurious red hair, emerald green eyes, and winning smile. Quickly, horror filled me and I removed the dress, then relaxed. For a moment I thought maybe my body was no longer suitable for Hero. But after seeing myself naked in the mirror again, I was certain I was perfect.

  Putting my pretty red dress back on. I bought several more and left while whistling a tune. It was a lullaby my father used to sing to me. “And then the Hero rides in on his horse, slays all the monsters and saves us with force. His Harem is mighty, his power so great, that even the Princess obeys and is safe.”
