ALTHEA'S POV

It was now early morning and I was still sleeping. The bed was so comfortable and oddly enough, so big. As I snuggled into my pillow, knocking could be heard from the door. But before I could answer, it opened. I turned to look and found Jane standing there, hands clasped at the front. She wore a simple long sleeved black dress that stopped right at her ankles with some heels. Her hair was in a bun slicked to the back.

"Good morning my queen", she greeted as she stared at me. I blushed at the name before shaking my head, "Oh please. Don't call me that. Just call me Althea", she shook her head as well. "I cannot my queen".

"Yes you can. We are soon to be friends. And I won't have you acting like you're some servant to me. So please", she looked down at the ground without saying anything making me sigh.

"What can I help you with". "It is currently 8AM, your breakfast shall be finished at 10AM. I came to help you prepare for the day. You may go into the shower while I pick your outfit", I nodded as I stood up and walked over the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.

THIRD POV

While Althea tried her best to rush her shower, Jane stood in her walk in closet. Humming an old tune as she browsed the multiple dresses. Today would be a day of planning, she didn't want the queen to be uncomfortable. Considering it's been warmer in Italy she opted for a shorter dress.

It was white with a corset top, flowy and it ended right at her knees

It was white with a corset top, flowy and it ended right at her knees. She grabbed onto some white heels to go with it. Alec and her planned to have it be more private. Walk her through the castle grounds and let her get adjusted before they jumped straight into it.

Althea finished in the bathroom and stepped out in her towel, her hair was wet as she stepped out smelling like strawberry vanilla. "Your clothes are on the bed. I will come back in just a moment. Get ready and then we can go". Althea nodded as she walked over to the bed and Jane sped away.

Jane walked ahead of Althea as she showed her the way to the kitchen unfortunately for them, it was on the bottom floor. Considering the castle was built centuries ago and the need for a kitchen wasn't grand.
They had to have it remodeled once they heard of Althea's arrival. Well, the coven only knew of a special guest that would arrive and couldn't touch.

Many speculated she was some human with special blood. Perhaps the king's blood singer and they wanted to drain her of her blood little by little to make it last. Or perhaps one of the multiple women they'd chosen to whore around with as they did many times before. Rumors had already gone around and not many vampires liked it. They didn't know who she was, and those few who did see her the days before, only made it worse.
