Welcome To France

ASPEN'S POV

It was two O'clock in the morning when my maids had decided to wake me from my slumber.

"Rise and shine Princess Aspen! Today you leave for France!" Charlotte squealed

'Hooray for me!' I thought sarcastically to myself.

Not moving from my bed Clarice and Charlotte had no choice but to LITERALLY roll me out of bed.

With a good push and a loud thud, I found myself on the floor of my bedroom.

I quickly sat up and rubbed my head. I turned and glared at the two women, immediately they looked away from my hard stare.

My mother came up behind them completely dressed in a maroon and yellow dress.

"Thank you girls." She dismissed them to go pack the rest of our things.

I got up from the ground and brushed off my sleeping gown.

"I'm glad that you have woken up my dear." She told me

"Yeah thanks to those two-" I started before my mother interrupted me.

"ASPEN OLIVIA CAMDEN!" She yelled, "do not use that tone around me, or anyone for that matter. You are a princess, act like one inside and outside the castle."

This lecture went on for about half an hour or so.

"Do you understand?" she ended her speech.

"Yes mother, I understand perfectly." I answered

"Good. Now get ready. The carriage leaves in thirty minutes." She told me.

She then left my room to tend to her "queenly" duties.

I hurriedly got dressed and put on my makeup before making my way down to the front of the castle and out the door.

I walked to the carriage where my mother, father, my two maids, and some of the other servants waited for me. I then climbed into the carriage and we were off.

~Twelve Hours Later~

After a very long tiring twelve hour ride, we finally made it to Paris, France.

It was beautiful. The buildings seemed to glow in a golden-like way. I looked out the window of the carriage and saw the palace in the distance.

'I hope that the stories of King Louis's arrogance, remain stories.' I thought to myself.

About ten minutes later, we arrived at the palace. It was marvelous.

I stepped out of the carriage only to be greeted with one of the king's musketeers, D'Artagnan.

"Good day Princess Aspen, welcome to Paris. I will take you to his majesty King Louis at once." He smiled at me

"Thank you my good sir." I returned the smile.

He then led my family and I into the palace to meet the king himself.

We finally reached a wooden door that had brass engraving on the outside of the door.

D'Artagnan looked at us once before saying, "the king waits behind the door for you."

I nodded my head in a 'yes' motion understanding what he was saying before he opened the door.

Behind the door revealed a couple of Louis's maids, servants, advisers, and the king himself.

D'Artagnan cleared his throat, "your majesty, our guests have arrived."

Louis turned his attention to us before smiling and walking over to us.

"Welcome to France" he greeted all of us.
