The Royal Test

R.I.P Lucy

Today was are free day, a day for us to mourn. I will mourn for Lucy even though I barely knew her. I will mourn her short life while they get eternal ones. It's not fair. I don't know why I ever found prince Daylen attractive he is a killer like his family and his heritage. I won't marry him or if I do I will make his life a living hell, for ever. After I ate breakfast I headed to the guard and told him I was ready to visit the royal floor. As I made it up the staircase I couldn't help but be amazed. The rooms were decorated so beautiful, it looked amazing. I went to the library and started reading for a couple hours and decided to check out the game room. When I went in and saw Daylen I immediately stepped back and told the guard I wanted to go back to the library.
"Miss Jones I do wish for your company for a moment please. Guard you may step outside the door I wish to speak to her alone." The guard left and I felt helpless. I couldn't leave and I was stuck here with this monster.
"Monster huh? Wow your opinion of me changed rather quickly. What makes you think I'm a monster miss Reagen?"
"Well for one you just killed an innocent girl just for the fun of your little games and don't care that you all just stole an innocent life. She was a good person." I looked down and I couldn't help but start crying again. I felt his hand wipe away the year and I stepped back. I felt sick, that could have been my family or me and he is acting like he cares now. No I'm not playing his games. I'm so confused on if I want to win or I'd rather just give up and die in the games.
Just as I thought that I heard the door slam shut, and the prince tell the guard tiger me off his floor because I was ungrateful. Like seriously, why would I be grateful? I might be alive but I don't know how long for and I have to watch people die.

It's now Wednesday and I've been following my schedule like a zombie, the other girls saw Lucy's death as a wake up call to start practicing harder and do better I saw it as what it was a game of death for the royals amusement. The king has been doing chai time for the week with all girls, he said the prince needed a break. This week we was practicing "grace". Monday I rode horses and got the hang of it real quick, I actually enjoyed it. Tuesday was archery, it took me awhile to get the whole bow and arrow thing, and today was fencing and sword fighting. We was expected to master both today, fencing was okay but the swords were really heavy and it was hard. It took the rest of the time to be okay at it. When night time came I was happy to sleep, I welcomed it.
The next day I did my workouts and when chai time came I found out I would be painting. The king said to paint something beautiful that speaks to our souls. I didn't know how to paint but before I knew it I was swirling colors and splashing them and making shapes I didn't know. At the end I was really surprised that it didn't look like crap, it was exquisite. The king was shocked, he took my painting with him when he left. I later found out they placed it on the Royal floor. I didn't know it was that good.
When Friday cam I found out I was dancing. I was confused because we danced all last week but theming wanted me to show him all dances again and to have grace while doing it. Again I did great, and I wasn't even trying. Funny how you can do so great when you gave up huh?
I went to bed and forgot that tomorrow is the next challenge. Great!
