I couldn't really sleep last night. Everything that happened was running through my head full speed, which caused me to not settle. I opened the curtains and watched the sunrise, which was beautiful. Seeing the orange and pinks emerge together was spectacular.

Lost in a daydream I didn't realise the time was seven o'clock and next thing I know the girls walked in. Surprised, I was already awake but carried on with that they were doing.

"Good morning. Your higness. I'm afraid it's a busy day again. You're required to do a tour of the kingdom with Prince Christian, and tonight you'll be having a dress fitting where they'll be taking measurements for the wedding dress." Vanessa starts walking over to the left side of my bed.

Groaning. I decided to act like a child and roll out of bed, but being the idiot I am, I forgot to move my feet, and they got caught in the duvet, and I crash landed on the floor.

"PRINCESS" All three girls scream. Julia and Juliet run towards me. Whilst Vanessa is already on her knees, making sure I was okay. I start to hysterically laugh, knowing I scared the living shit out of them. Rolling their eyes, they stand up and go back to where they were when they realised I was okay and just messing about.

"Don't do that again, please," Julia says, shaking her head but smiling, knowing full well I'll probably do it again.

"I'm sorry!" I say, standing up after unwrapping my feet from the deathtrap. I did notice blood on my pink sheets looking down. I saw a long cut along my elbow. Seeing the blood and cut Vanessa takes my arm gently and takes me over to my sink where she cleans it and places some sort of protective wrap over it.

"There. Now that's covered, we need to get you dressed and fed. " Like clock work, the door opens, and the kitchen staff brings in all sorts of different foods and fruits. My mouth waters at the sight, and my belly rumbles. I go and sit at the table, grabbing what I want to eat and start eating.

I looked up at the girls. I felt bad not taking into consideration how hungry they must be. Poor Juliet looks like skin and bones. Wanting to amend this, I invite them to sit and eat as there is far too much food, and I don't want it going to waste.

When we were all full, I collected all of our plates and put them on the tray waiting to be taken down to be cleaned. I walked over to my changing screen and got changed for the morning. Decided on a grey shirt partnered with a black corset, black trousers, and black boots. Nothing too special for this morning.

I brushed my hair and placed it in a bun, leaving out a few wisps of hair out. Walking out, I caught the girls looking at me in shock. That I was able to dress myself easily. I wonder what they'll do when they find out I can sword fight.

Deciding to have some fresh air leaving the girls to tidy, I walked out onto my balcony. It's one of my favourite places to go other than the library. You can see for miles. My bedroom is at the front of the castle and I can see the villages and the sea from here. It's always beautiful and so quiet some days. But today wasn't one as its training day for our soldiers, guards, and knights. All different ranks. The knights were the big guys. This is followed by the guards who mainly protect us and then the soldiers who mainly deal with taxes.

It's now about 8 am, and already I can see about 200 men down at the training grounds. You can hear them too most days. Which is why I like sitting out here too. I like watching them practice. Keeps me sain knowing who I'm being protected by.

Hearing laughing from below in the courtyard catches my attention. I look down seeing Prince Christian talking to an unknown man. A very big man, so maybe his bodyguard of some sort. Knowing someone is watching him, Christian looks up at my balcony. I quickly duck down, not wanting to be seen. I'm staying there until I'm sure he's gone. I stand back up seeing he's not in the courtyard but walking down towards the training ground. Body guard in toll.
