"She will be by second lady in waiting, second in command." I whisper to Dolsê pointing at a girl in the group of my maids. We were now on top of the ship. The maids were in group with us we were getting closer to land. "Kazima Ajekyou are appointed as Le'elt Asatira second in command." Kazima steps out from the crowd. "Thank you Le'elt Asatira." She bows to me and I give her a kind smile. "Dolsê will help you dress when we land." Dolsê hands her a folded bundle. "Your new gown, jewelry, and your monthly allowance is in this bundle, a book from my mother's conduct of head ladies is in there also." She bows once again and go back with the group of maids. I could see all the other maids congratulating her from the promotion. She had a happy expression on her face, which made me happy.
"Dolsê is everything prepared, my mother had a specific gown and jewelry I must wear." I overlook the trunks my maids were standing around "Yes Le'elt, the special chest has been prepared. I have it right here."Dolsê lifts her gown skirt to show the highly decorated chest. "Do not worry Le'elt, everything will go smooth." "I can not help it Dolsê, I have so much expected of me back home. I must make sure my brother gives a good report back to my father." "I am sure that his Highness will be proud of you." I look over at my brother who was overlooking the water while talking to his men. I go back to reading the book my mother provided me. "Le'elt his majesty is approaching you." Dolsê whispers to me. I close my book, handing it to Dolsê. "Any news brother?" "We are about to reach land, I will guide you to your horse. We will be meeting the King's advisor at the half way mark, you will be getting prepared there. His advisor will lead us the rest of the way to their castle." "Is that all dear brother?" "No but I believe we are you touching land now." He points behind my head. I turn around to the view of a busy port. A band of people were waiting there for us. "Who are those people?" I point at the people. "It is the people who greets us royals when we land." Alixandre walks over to my side. "There will be flowers and music played when land, it is best to keep your best smile on your face. Word will travel fast if you look unhappy." "Prince Alixandre you are forgetting that I am a princess, I know all these things." I give him a smug smile. "My apologies princess." He bow to me, we both laugh.
"Usikaribie na mkuu wewe ni Mfalme sio wake. Usifanye familia yetu ionekane kitandani.(Do not get close with the prince you are the King's not his. Do not make our family look bed.)." I roll my eyes. "Sio mbaya kupata marafiki. Mimi ndiye ninaishi kati ya watu wa Acraga sio wewe.(It is not bad to make friends. I am the one living amongst the Acraga people not you.)" His eyes widen. I have never talked back to him. I was taught to listen and respect my older siblings no matter what, but now I'm not at Slonaire Neldives. My parents aren't here I don't have to live by that rule.
