Maridith jumped up and down in joy, realizing that today was officially marking that there is 1 year until she gets crowned queen. She imagined herself in the most big and white dress, in the throne with her king - if she even gets one. She sighed, not really wanting to wait that long. Afterward, she walked to the golden border mirror and sat on the velvet colored stool in front of it.

"1 more year... just on more year left... it isn't that long.... right...? You can do it Maridith... " Maridith mumbled to herself, her voice being soft, but a bit raspy. Also speaking in a slight British accent.

She looked at herself in the mirror, playing with her long golden colored hair. It almost went down to her waist. Her ocean blue eyes lit up her skin. She had a few freckles on her cheeks, but they were barely visible. She had lipgloss, a bit of blush and a bit of highlighter. Maridith had a grey dress with ruffles under the skirt, with lots of pearls on it. She also had jewelry on.

She looked around her. Opulent tapestries adorn the walls, while a grand canopy bed, draped in flowing silks, stands majestically at the center. Soft pillows and plush blankets, while a vanity table holds sparkling jewels and cosmetics. Sunlight filters through sheer curtains, casting a warm glow over the room.

"MARY!" Her mother, Rosealena, yelled out. Maridith sighed and scampered to her mother's bedroom. Rich tapestries adorn the walls, framing a grand four-poster bed draped in silk. Plush cushions and Persian rugs offer comfort underfoot, while golden candelabras cast a warm glow. She had to say, the castle was beautiful.

"Well there you are dear-! I have something to tell you." Her mother said, with a bit of a stronger accent then Maridith. She looked at Maridith. The queen, dressed in a majestic gown and with her light brown hair adorned with jewels. Her green eyes stared a hole right through Maridith.

"Yes mother-?" She said.

"You know that knight that died a couple of weeks ago?"

"Yes, I do. But what does that have to do-"

"I'm getting to that. Come in!" She cut her off. She called out to someone in the other room. Suddenly Maridith heard foot steps behind her, making her a bit nervous. She slightly turned, seeing only shiny amor.

"This is your new knight, or, bodyguard you could say." Her mother said. Maridith sighed in relief as she spun around, taking a moment to process what she was seeing.
