The meeting was over after long arguing and tragedy but to what conclusion. I knew that Nany was shocked and sad over Grate uncles sudden death. Although he had argued against me it was no reason for his be heading in front of the public eye. Even if he had done what he had done he was family no matter what.

My great uncle was one of us, a man of the sea and waves. Someone respected by most and just like that he had been killed by my Pappa. I came to my Nany's side as we entered our chambers and I held her close embracing here in my arms. "I am sorry Nany. I know how you must feel after so much has hurt and anguish has be placed over our family. After Grand Grand's condition... and his time away....I know it hurts," I held her even tighter as she returned the hug not wanting to go of me for just an instant.

"It is alright my Lovie. I am very used to seeing death around me. It come to no surprise at this point," she pulled apart and placed a hand on my face. I close my eyes and started to feel her warmth on my cheek. "You must not worry about me, you have had your victory today, one no one can take away."

"I know and I am very pleased with how everything went before my Pappa struck. I like to believe my speech was appreciated by those who listened. However even after all of these victories I know that there is pain in your eye's Nany... Let me stay with you to arrange my grate uncle's funeral, after all I am the Lady of our lands now." I wanted to be at her side, not let her alone after today but she put her hand up to protest against my idea.

"You are no lady of the sea throneyet. You still have a few months, besides you have much more important duties to attend to. You must go have dinner with your family, your father will be expecting you there as will your uncle the king. Besides it would be a tragedy to waist such a beautiful dress," Nany guided me towards one of the maids entering bring in a beautiful light blue and gold dress that was fit for a princess. "I had it made just for this one occasion, you are the heir to the Driftmark throne, you must start presenting yourself as such."

I didn't argue with her and the maids started to work on me immediately. They started by drawing me a bath to clean the blood off of my body and soaked me in oil making sure I carried the sent of lavender and roses on me for tonight's dinner. I was then dressed with the impeccable gown that was much heavier than I expected but that suited my curves quite well. Once that was on me they started braiding my long curly hair decorating my head with interact designs that ran down my back and towards my waist. I looked at myself in the mirror and I all I had to say was, "Stunning..." It was hard for me to admit it as I seamed much older than usual but in a mature way.
