The definition of a Princess

1

"Did you hear of the killer on the streets? Murdering men and women all different and alike. I hope the children aren't next.."

...

More talk.
That's really all you hear the servants mention these days. The killer seems to be the latest trend spoken from lip to ear.

I'm sure it will die down, it always does.

This topic has been a spiral for a few days.. I'm sure the knights will figure it out.
Not much your worry.

You stand up grabbing your crown. Lifting it upon your gracefulness. You go to your mirror tying your corset tightly as you let your white dress glisten down. 

You're a princess after all. You have to look lovely for the public. You'll be in charge one day.. after your father dies.

Looking in the mirror and tugging at your waist, you realize you should start your daily routine.
Perfect without a flaw of course.
You comb your hair, dressing it up in your favorite style. Although you hate to admit, it could be even longer.
But it's perfect the way it is, you're a princess after all.

After washing your face, you brush your teeth.
Jewelry is next and a bit of perfume wouldn't hurt.

You notice you're quite tall compared to the other women, is that weird? Or was your mother tall..?
You've never met her. She died before you could meet her.
You're sure they envy you.

You like to wear heels to appear taller as well, it's nice. Although some how, the Guards still hover  above you which is quite annoying.

I'll wear my slip ons for now..

You walk out your room finally ready for the day as you stretch.
Princess duties.
Smile. Don't act out of order father says. You have a temper he says, but you don't ever remember doing anything out of order?
You walk pass the Guards and they bow.
You smile as you wave.

You visit father, cold as usual.
Nothing interesting.

Next is Glamelia. She's so beautiful. Calm as usual with all her gracefulness.
You wish you were more like her.. actually nevermind.

I'm a princess, I don't want to be anyone but myself.

"Glamelia!" you smile and she's stands up with all her lengthiness with a sly smile.

Damn it.. she's taller than me!

"What's the matter today love?"

Her voice is so lovely. She doesn't even try. Her long straight black hair kills you.
Being twice your age but wrinkles are nowhere to be found.
Her red lips falter in contrast to yours.

"Nothing.." you almost sigh but keep it to yourself.
"Today's Wednesday, you must visit the common people of the kingdom. Have one of the head knights escort you. Make good reputation" She says with a smirk as if she thinks you won't.
"Of course I will.. I'm me after all.."

You couldn't help your response.

Her chuckle gives you goosebumps since she rarely laughs. "You should drop the narcissism Princess.. it'll end up breaking you when you can't live up to your own expectations"
"Glamelia I don't know what you mean" you say turning your head with a bit of anger.

What does she mean? My dads a king! If I don't act this way.. something might happen.

"My apologies Princess.. just some input that wasn't necessary.." she bows and you roll your eyes.
"Ha ha Melia, since when do you bow to me?"

You like to call her that sometimes.

"Since when is it not okay to bow to royalty love?" she asks sitting back in her chair but you have no reply.
