Solji's P.O.V

"My lady, your highness, its time to wake up. We must get you ready for the ceremony" someone said, shaking me awake. I turned around and saw my right hand maid and her assisting partners behind her. "Is my uncle here already" I asked her as I stretched. "Yes your highness, he ordered us to come get you ready early so you would have enough time to get ready" she said bowing. I nodded and started to get off the bed, pulling the sheets off me making the cold air hit my bare legs. "If you will, my lady, I shall escort you to your bath" she said gently taking my hand and bowing. I sighed and looked at her, jokingly saying "Please enough with the formality your making me sick".

I saw her eyes widen and she bowed again, rolling my eyes I grabbed her shoulders, straighting her up. "Park Jiso will you stop please you're my best friend enough with this" I said laughing. She let out one of her famous square smiles and she hugged me really hard. I squeezed back and smiled. "I'm so happy right now, finally your becoming a queen. Your father must be really proud of you" she said with her blinding smile. I laughed and looked out the window, "If he was only here, this day would be so much better". I saw her at the corner of my eye turn towards the door and nod to the other maids. They quickly walked towards the bathroom to get my bathing supplies.

"Come on Solji things are gonna get better, now hurry before your mother comes in and starts throwing a rampage like last time" she said pulling me. I grabbed her wrist and squeezed laughing until I saw her facial expression. Her face was full of pain and I quickly understood what was going on. I harshly pulled her hanbok's sleeve up to see her arm decorated with purples and blue's. Rage took over my sight as I kept on staring at her arm.

"Jiso, did he do this" I hissed at her. She only looked at me through teary eyes, but she slowly came to confirm that he in fact did abuse her again. "When Jiso" I asked more calm. "Yesterday, when I came home with the money...he was drunk again...he tried taking the money away but I was fast enough to stash some under my shirt...he saw...he got angry and started to beat me but there was a knock at the door and he answered and then left" she said a look of hatred in her eyes. I let her hand go and sighed, rubbing my nose bridge, I looked at her again. "Jiso...I'm gonna lock your uncle up, I swear I am" I harshly said. Jiso only looked away and didn't mind casting me another look.

"Come your highness, your bath is going to get cold" she said with no emotion in her voice. I sadly looked at her and I followed her into the bathroom chambers. Quickly all the maids started to undress me and do their thing to quickly put me inside the warm tub. "Your highness would you like vanilla or mint smelling soap" asked a maid. "Mmm I'll do mint today" I said. As they finished bathing me, I was quickly pulled out and wrapped with fluffy towels to keep me warm. As I was rushed to my bed room once again, Jiso immediately began to do her thing. She dried and styled my hair to perfection. She then started to apply very little and very simple makeup. She smiled and pulled me out of the chair.

I was then wrapped in royal clothing, which was made out of pure silk. The cold fabric against my flushed skin felt nice. With a few more touch ups the maids bowed and left, Jinsu turned to me and smiled. "Your uncle must be waiting, come on lets go so the ceremony can begin" she said grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the room.

I let out a small chuckle and followed her as to the meeting room. Jiso let go of my hand as we neared the meeting room, and she put herself behind me as a sign of respect and lower class. I tsked and rolled my eyes, she opened the door for me and bowed without looking up again. I walked in and for sure there was my uncle along with my mother waiting for me. My mothers cold eyes met mine and she glared at me, while my uncle's were soft and had a look of pride in them.
