Zylith.

The girl was what you would call a doll of the Victorian era.

Her hair was honey-blond from roots to the tip, just like her mother. Her golden hair draped down softly curling along the ends. She had identical blue glacial eyes as the queen dowager, which apparently were fixed on me as she made her way towards us. But the very next moment, she dismissed me as if I was but just a speck of dust in her soles of her shoes, as if I were an afterthought, not relevant enough to stick and not important enough to appear often. 

As soon as I laid eyes on her, I could tell that she was never less than arrogant. Her attitude spoke bunches of her conceited heritage. She must have been brought up with a belief that she was superior to everyone else by virtue of her birth. Perhaps without that she could have been beautiful, touching even, but that sneer made her features light up in all sorts of wrong ways. Perhaps she was a baby that was left to cry, or a personality disorder the doctors couldn't fix.

But then, she looked at Reuben in a way a pig would look at it's feed and muttered in a honeysuckled tone, "Dearest king brother~" Woah! The 180 degree turns. So like mother like daughter.

"How have you been imperial sister?" Reuben answered in acknowledgement.

"Oh, don't you know how I have been recently?" She pouted her glossy red lips, trying hard to look as lovable as possible. But if you ask me, she looked more desperate than lovely. "I am very displeased if you must know." She said, "I can't believe king brother got married without my presence. How could you?"

Reuben's voice was as stagnant as the still water, not a fluctuation in his mien, but his words were cordial nevertheless "I am very sorry about that princess Cordelia, the wedding could not be postponed due to certain intricacies, so my humble apology is all I can offer to quell your displeasure."

"Ah, polite as always I see, imperial brother." She smiled in a very strange manner, I do not exactly know how to describe it, but her eyes curved into the shape of two new moons and her red lips looked a bit coquettish. She twirled a long thin golden strand of her hair in her index finger as she looked at Reuben's bandaged face, "Brother dear, why do you have to hide your appearance in front of family? All of us here are aware of your handsomeness, I don't really see a reason for you to hide your pretty face." Even the way she talked to him seemed strange to my ears now. Wait! Was she drooling?

"Oh, come now Cordelia, you can never be too careful when you are the ruler of a country, isn't that so son?" Queen Beatrice said with a smile.

"Yes, Queen mother." Was Reuben's reply.

"Hmmm, is that so?" Princess Cordelia, in the other hand, looked like she was carrying other ideas in her head, because the next moment I felt a lascivious soft touch gliding up my legs, grinding and toeing in a seductive manner.

A jitter of goosepimples decorated my skin and I almost jumped off the table as I felt like I had been scalded with burning hot iron.
