Story: Lady Luck
Year: Various
Characters: Riluke
Warnings: References to familial death, stigma against bastards
Sometimes, Riluke wished she was a princess. She wished it so hard she ached, drawing pictures of herself wearing Aunt Mina's circlet.
But as she got older, she wished it less. 'Cause the good parts weren't worth being the center of attention. Riluke was too smart for glamour. Or maybe, unlike Aunt Kesshare, the wrong kind of smart.
And as her legitimate family members started dying, Riluke was convinced she was lucky. She didn't need a circlet for power, and being Princess Riluke instead of just Lady was more trouble than it was worth.
