First draft....
He is the chosen one. Who else could it be? That’s what the king said the other day, in a booming voice. I couldn’t agree and disagree with the same sentence. Ever since we heard rumours that the opposite kingdom’s beloved prince is the chosen one, the king has gone paranoid. It would have been quite funny to watch him that way if I weren’t directly affected by the problem.
The door to the dining room is wide open. At one end of the table sits the king. On his left, sits the only person more powerful than me. My mother. She looks up at me as I enter and gives me a scarce smile. “Your majesty”, I bow to the king. He waves his hand for me to sit. On the king’s right sits the most irritating person in the world. The beloved prince of kingdom A. I remember him from our childhood days. He used to talk a lot and annoy me.But when I came back from the war a few months ago, he seemed almost scared of me. Probably heard rumours of how I drew my sword through the enemies’ hearts.Huh
“Kingdom B has officially announced their prince is ready. The power of the legends is his. They demand the start of the game in two weeks”, says mom, a worried look on her face.
“So its official?”, I ask her.
She nods.
Shit.
“Do you feel any kind of power within you?”, I ask the prince. #describe prince
He looks at the king who seems to be conveying something through his eyes.
He shakes his head, utterly confused.
He then turns to me and says “No, I don’t”.
“What is our next move?”, she asks the king, who is still staring at the prince.
She hits the table twice to gain his attention.The king jolts and looks at us, blinking.
“What now?”
“I said, what is our next move?”, my mom says in a cold voice that she usually reserves for me.
“Send out a reply that we are ready for the game. Two weeks it is.”
“The prince has no powers. Not even an intuition. Who is going to fight for our kingdom?”, I ask bewildered.
“He still has time. Besides the only match that matters is the last one which is at least two months away.”, he says waving his hands dismissively.
My mother lets out an exasperated sigh, which I would too if only I were bold enough to do so in front of the king himself.
He ignores it and continues. “Amara, you will join him as the first in command”.
Oh no.
I take in a deep breath as if to start a huge argument, but one look from my mother stops me. “She will”, my mother answers on my behalf. I hate it when she does that.
“Ok then. Lets meet here tomorrow morning to begin the training.”, the king dismisses us for the night.
My mom bows. “Thank you, your Majesty”.
She wrestles me out of the room before I can speak anything.

I like it and I would like to see more but I have a question: what is the mom relationship with the king ?

I like this!
Just some feedback: (no offence intended)
“I remember him from our childhood days. He used to talk a lot and annoy me.”
Maybe you could elaborate a bit more here before saying he’s now sacred of her. It’s a sudden shift in tone.
“Ok then. Lets meet here tomorrow morning to begin the training.”, the king dismisses us for the night.
This sounds a bit off from the King. He should be more commanding.
“She wrestles me out of the room before I can speak anything.”
I think this could be rephrased as ‘before I can say anything’
“My mom bows.”
This is ok, but all this while she’s called her mother, so it seems inconsistent.
And now you’ll hate me for saying this-
“He waves his hand for me to sit.”
“he says waving his hands dismissively.“
“the king dismisses us for the night.”
“I bow to the king.“
“My mom bows .”
