I

Published- Sep 28,2021. Hi there. I will be using roman numerals for this book btw. This book will have cursing I forgot to mention that before and I will put TW at the beginning of chapters if needed. Also the oc's name is Hulda not hilda. Hulda means secret and I thought that was cool so

Hulda woke up with the sun blinding her. She wasn't exactly excited to start the day but was happy she woke up.

Hulda rolled out of bed and, very lazily, took off her nightgown, changing into her day clothes. Hulda's hair was a beautiful brunette color and most days they let it stay down, occasionally braiding it. They weren't one of those people that claimed to not be like other girls but she despised wearing dresses. Of course, they agreed to wear them on special occasions like holidays and festivals. So Hulda dressed 'lady-like' enough to not be scolded by her mother but in a way that still made her feel comfortable.

The outfit they went with today was a white tunic, a black corset, some black jeans, and some boots. This is one of the days she feared she may be scolded.

Hulda walked downstairs making their way into the kitchen. They let out a sigh of relief as she realized her mother wasn't awake yet. She grabbed an apple and quickly made her way out of the house hoping they made it out before her mother saw. They made her way down a familiar path leading to no other than her favorite tree. As Hulda approached the tree she squinted her eyes. A tall figure was leaning against the trunk of the tree while sitting on a tree branch. Hulda smiled knowing exactly who it was.

"Didn't expect seeing you here so early." The figure said.

"Oh shut up Tommy your the one who complains always about me not being here the first hour your awake." Tommy chuckled. There was a comfortable pause after that until Tommy finally spoke up.

"Are you excited for this afternoon?" he asked. Hulda made a confused face, thinking for a moment of what may be happening.

"What's so exciting about it?" They asked back. Tommy gave her a look as if to ask 'are you joking' Hulda looked back at him with an expression more confused than before. "What?"

"You don't know?" Tommy said. Hulda's expression gave him the answer straight away. Tommy laughed. "The whole village has been preparing for this for weeks. It's one of the few times you wear a dress."

"Just tell me what it is already I'm losing my patience."

"Fine but I'm honestly surprised you don't know."

"WHAT IS IT?" She snapped.

"The royal family is visiting."

Hulda looked at him, her face showing she was thinking. Why were the royal family visiting ? The last time they visited had to have been when me and Tommy were still very young. The princes and king had to have aged a lot by now. What kept them in the castle so long? Hulda didn't realize how long she was thinking when Tommy finally got her attention again.

"I was just as surprised as you are when I found out. I mean who doesn't visit one of their villages for 7 years and then show up out of nowhere asking for a festival and a happy welcome. I know everyone else is going to be excited to see them and honestly, I am too but it did kinda come out of nowhere." he said.

Hulda nodded until looking up at the sun. The sun is now a little under halfway across the sky. They didn't even realize how long she'd been sitting at the tree. "I should probably get going. Do you know what time the royal family is coming?" They asked

"Yeah, I think a little past noon."

"Sh*t, I have to go. My mom's probably gonna try to make me look like an actual princess for this." she laughed

"I should probably go too, good luck with your mom," Tommy said as he climbed down the tree after Hulda. They said their goodbyes and parted ways, preparing for the day that came before them.

HI. That's the first chapter woo. I'm sorry if it's going a little fast but I didn't want the whole chapter only containing my oc because I know you're reading for SBI, not that. 723 words. Thanks for reading :)
