SUPREME (Love and war)

In a world where wealth, high classes, and powers rule over the commoners.

In the heart of the COUNTRY is the Radiant Crown Castle, a marvel of gold and riches. This vast estate was a city within itself, with buildings that seemed to touch the sky and walls that shone like the sun. The palace was a tourist attraction, drawing visitors from far and wide to witness its splendor.

Within its walls, the royal family resided in pure luxury. Each member of the family had their own apartment, complete with private pools and personal staff. The palace was a hive of activity, with hundreds of maids, servants, and guards attending to the family's every need.

At the helm of the royal family was King Edmund, a just and fair ruler.

He had two wives, Queen Cassandra and Queen Ophelia.

Queen Cassandra, the first wife, had three children:

Princess Isabella, 28 years old, the oldest child in the royal family, and identical twin princes, Tristan and Thadeus, who are 26 years old, respectively.

Queen Ophelia, the second wife, had two children: Prince Alexander, who's 22, and Princess Elara, the last child, who's just 21.

Now Prince Alexander, the last son, is a headache to the royal family. His life activities always bring nothing but scolding from the king, reports from the royal elders, councils, and executives, and tears on his mother's cheeks.

Alexander is a typical bad boy; he doesn't even care about his reality as a prince. He's still in college but spends his whole life going to clubs, drinking, and hooking up with women.

If he doesn't come home drunk, then news about him being involved in an accident would trend for the week. He spoils at least two cars in a week due to reckless and drunk driving.

He often gets into trouble, fighting with thugs and street guys. Sometimes he beats them up so badly that they end up in the hospital, while other times he's the one who gets beaten, especially whenever he refuses to go out with his bodyguards. Countless times, he shows up at the palace with numerous bruises on his face.

He once gambled away a new car he acquired, worth billions, and lost as usual.

Everybody knows who Prince Alexander is. Aside from his lifestyle, his face screams trouble. He's like a Greek god-handsome and sexy in every way. Even his cool, deep voice is enough to make girls fall for him. He never has to ask them out-they do it themselves, and he always goes along with the flow.

Everything continues this way until the king suddenly makes a shocking announcement that stirs up the whole country, especially Aurora city.

What's the announcement?

Wanna join the ride ,then let go

AURORA CITY, A HOTEL ROOM, 9 PM

Alexander was sleeping in the middle of three naked girls on the bed, their hands all over his body.

The moment was interrupted when his phone started ringing. One of the girls groaned loudly and grabbed the phone.

My prince, she called and pecked Alexander's lips. He smiled in his sleep and took the phone from her. Without opening his eyes, he answered the call and put it to his ear.

Yes?

Are you serious right now? Where the fuck are you? It's almost time for the family feast!" He heard Isabella scream, and he sprang up from the bed.

I will be there,he muttered, and she hung up.

His eyes widened when he saw about fifty missed calls on his phone-from his friends, his mom, his sister, and Isabella as well-plus some unknown numbers, probably from other girls.

Damn it,he mumbled, pushing the girl still lying on him off his body.

My prince, you're not leaving, right? one of them asked.

No, I'm not, dumbass, he hissed, putting on his shirt and shoes

ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, QUEEN CASSANDRA'S SUITE

You know that's not fair, Mom! The last time I was late, you know what Father did, but when Alexander was late last night, Father let him go, and now today again. Father isn't fair right now! It's even more annoying that our sister always supports that idiot, Thadeus said angrily.

Can you lower your voice? The king's judgment is final, and you can't go against that, so keep your mouth shut, Queen Cassandra said.

So why is it different for him? He's the bad egg, and you know that, yet Father seems to treat him better than everyone. I can't even remember the last time three cars of guards followed us out, but he's the one destroying cars every week. Still, Father allows him access to everything! We are four years older than him, but it feels like he's our elder brother, Tristan snapped.

Can you stop already?! Queen Cassandra yelled.

Do something about it, Mom. We're tired, and that's it. Unless you want us to meet Father ourselves, Thadeus said and stormed out with his brother.

Queen Cassandra folded her fists and exhaled loudly.

Ahh... ouch! Alexander groaned painfully as Isabella dragged him into his room by his ear.

She released him angrily, and he screamed.

That hurts! And you know-"

You don't even know how much I want to hit you right now. Must you give everyone something to talk about? she asked.

Come on, sis, you know it's not intentional, Alexander smiled.

Not intentional? Where were you when I called? she asked.

You don't even want to know....

You promised me you were going to change! Isabella snapped.

Let's start over again, Alexander grinned.

Gosh, I'm tired of you already, Isabella shook her head and walked out.

Alexander fell onto the bed, and soon Elara came in.

I'm not in for your version of scolding tonight, Elara, Alexander mumbled without looking at her.

Mom is crying again because of you, Elara said, and Alexander sat up.

Why does she have so many tears in her eyes?he asked, and Elara frowned.

Are you serious right now? You don't even know anything! she yelled, and Alexander rolled his eyes.

I'm not in the mood for this right now. I need to sleep, he said and walked into the dressing room, leaving Elara there.

A RURAL COMMUNITY IN AURORA CITY

, HAZEL'S HOUSE

Hazel entered the house and met her mom in the living room knitting, as usual. Even though they lived in the poorest part of the city, they were still among the poorest people in that community.

I'm home, Hazel announced, and her mom, Lady Samara, looked up with a warm, welcoming smile.

You're back, daughter, she said.

Hazel ran to hug her tightly.

Don't tell me you've been working all day since I left, she mumbled.

I got an order, and I think she's someone rich. I need to make everything perfect, Lady Samara replied, and Hazel nodded.

Dinner? she asked.

I made some rice. Check the kitchen, her mom replied.

Thank you, Mom, Hazel said excitedly and went inside.

Once in her room, she undressed first and took a quick bath before grabbing her almost-spoiled phone from the bed.

She sat down and browsed through the university she'd been aspiring to attend her whole life. The admission for this year would close in just two weeks, and still no hope. She definitely couldn't stay home this year again.

She was already twenty years old. All her mates were at least in their second year in university, but for her, money was the problem. It didn't seem like this year would be any different either.

You can't give up, Hazel. Don't give up,she told herself and walked out of the room.
