I woke up in a super soft bed, my hair had been plaited but little bits stuck out. I yawned, it took me a moment to remember what had occurred in the many hours prior to now. I had been stuck in the party, people kept coming to shake my hand, or to question me. I gazed lazily around my room, before getting up and going to the wardrobe. There was no trousers, but a large variety of different dresses. I picked out a long dark green dress, and changed into it. Then, I headed down for breakfast. The maids and other servants baid me good morning, as I passed.
" Good morning, Adalia " Reaver smiled
" Morning " I yawned as I sat down at the table, before taking a slice of toast.
" I have been wondering about your education, have you had any at all? " Reaver asked
" No, mom told me that having an education doesn't mean anything. All I would learn would be useless. " I took a bite after coating the toast in jam.
" Oh, well, I hope you don't mind, but the Queen has given you permission to join Andrew in his classes. " Reaver told me, I just nodded silently. " After breakfast, we will head to the castle "
" okay, dad" I agreed quietly. Reaver smiled slightly at the term.
After breakfast, we headed to the castle. I watched the scenery change as the carriage rattled over cobbled streets. I had never been to a city before, I had been born and raised in the village of Oakfield. The carriage stopped outside a giant castle, I had never see a castle before. I gazed at the building in awe.
" Come along Adalia " Reaver smiled, I followed him into the castle, the queen smiled as we approach her.
" I am glad to see you have made it. The scholar is with Andrew in the library, follow me " the queen took me to the library, then went to talk to Reaver in the throne room.
I opened the door and entered the library, it was huge. I looked around in wonder.
" Miss Adalia, I presume? " An old man asked, I saw Andrew sitting at a table.
" Yes..." I nodded shyly
"Please sit, I have just finished on the history of the heroes guild. " The man smiled
"Ok" I sat down two seats away from Andrew. The scholar gave me a quill and some paper.
" Right, write the title 'Skill' " the scholar instructed, Andrew began to write. I stared blankly at the quill, the scholar coughed" is there a problem? "
"I don't know how to write..." I admitted
" You don't know how to write! " Andrew burst out laughing. I stood up suddenly.
" I may not be able to write, but I can do many other things, I refuse to learn with an obnoxious prick of a prince who thinks he is everything and cares nothing for others feelings " I growled, I stormed out. I ran past my father and into the garden. I reached a small pond and knelt beside it. I never hated someone so much before, I despised the pampered prince!
" Adalia? " Reaver knelt next to me.
" I'm sorry Dad, I can't study with that boy. " I signed
" What did he do? " Reaver asked
" He laughed because I don't know how to write. " I told him
" It's okay, I guess it was too early to get you to start at Andrew's level. Let's go home, I am sure I will be able to find someone to teach you " Reaver helped me up. We headed back to the carriage, the queen stood by the door, I got in the carriage while Reaver went to explain to her that I was going to have a scholar at his manor. I sat in silence all the way back.
