⤷ FOUR; the tournament ⤶
STARTLED FROM MY SLUMBER I jolted from my bed with a gasp. The horrifying images that had plagued my dreams for the past five years on repeat. The sound of mothers pleading screams echoed my head, the ruby colour that burned my eyes. It felt as if I could feel the liquid dripping from my face.
A delicate knock echoed my chambers making me sigh in annoyance, sitting up quietly as I stared hatefully at the bright sun that came through my window.
"Princess. It is time to wake. I have brought you food to break your fast." The small voice of a young servant from the other side spoke. "Princess are you awake?"
"Yes thank you Marie, if you would please leave it on my table." Watching from behind my curtain as the small girl walked into my chambers with my food. "Do you need anything else my princess?"
"Yes I wish to bathe." Bowing to me, a small grin appeared as she rushed out almost running into a vase. "Of course Princess."
After a slow start to my day as I broke my fast, the door was opened and in came little Marie holding onto a bucket go boiling water with my loyal guard holding another, before they filled my bathtub.
"Thank you Marie. You may go." Watching as she bowed to me before skipping out of my bed chamber. "Sweet little thing isn't she."
"Anything else Princess?" Ser James Bailer, the ever loyal guard. He had been in my service since I was ten name days and he was like family to me, even if he did have his lingering stares once in a while.
"No James that will be all. Let no one enter." With the small nod, he walked out and I had not realised that he was watching me in the mirror as i began placing a scented essence in the bath before peeling off my night clothing.
━━━ STOOD OUTSIDE HER DOOR twenty minutes later was her poor sister and their dear lady friend, Alicent Hightower, who both stared at the unmoving guard who gave them no second bow. Dressed in their gowns for the upcoming tournament, The princess in the finest red while her friend in the prettiest light blue.
"The Princess does not wish to be disturbed while she bathes." The gruff guard spoke not caring that he was in the presence of another princess that was not his own. Only breaking his stance once the door behind him opened. His princess was ready.
There stood the most angelic girl the kingdom had ever seen, with a large portion of the dresses fabric being cut out. A Large dark blue X crossed pattern in the front with peaces of texture white fabric covering her breasts, her breast, belly button and part of her torso showing as well as the large missing portion of fabric from the back of the dress. Her beautiful long silver hair was neatly down in her soft curls down her back, the princess had no jewellery on beside the ring given to her by her father and the necklace her uncle had given her the day before.
