The Matheneya Realm: Princess of Matheneya

Chapter 2: Melony

      "Clomp, Clomp, Creeek..., Clomp, Shroooom! " Went my sister, Melony's foot steps, the door, and the now opened curtains, allowing daylight into my bedroom which I love. I yawned and stretched out my arms and legs before opening my tired eyes. "Must you wake me?" I groaned as I sat up on my bed. "Yes." Melony giggled. "Why aren't you in your studies?" I suspiciously asked her. Melony scoffed at me, "It's the one day I turn 13!" I laughed and teased her, "I was joking!" I don't act like this in public, or even with my parents or servants for that matter. "A princess must not be humorous. She has to be mature." Was my mother's famous quote from when I was a little girl. I share no physical features with her, nor do we share any personality traits. I almost forgot that I didn't have to study or take lessons anymore. I'll never forget about the flashback I had before resting in bed, talking with my companions: Rosalie and Dell, palace maids. Mother considers them as, "Lower ranked peasants." but I can see through that. 

     Melony ignored me and sat on the end of my bed with me. "The both of us aren't going to be in studies today." She extended today, "I only had to study for an hour!" She excitedly exclaimed, "It would be wonderful if we could spend a day together. Just....You and me." Melony finally finished. It's been so long ever since we've been able to spend time together. I smiled, "Yes, it would be my honor ." I cheekily teased. I hop out of bed in my faded silk baby pink nightgown and bowed to her as if I were a man. Then, with a smirk on my face, I reached out my hand to her and the silly dance begun. We were jumping around the room in a waltz - like style and giggled at the funny twists and turns we made.

    We stopped dancing when Melony became too dizzy and fell, unfortunately missing my bed. No harm to her. We laughed so hard I almost fell over. We both sat on my bed and told eachother about things going on.

    An urgent knock suddenly came from the doors. Melony and I stopped laughing uncontrollably and glanced at eachother. "Yes?" I called loudly in a polite manner. The doors were forced open and revealed a servant boy who seemed about Melony's age.

     I slowly cleared my throat. I hesitated for a moment before announcing to the boy, "What is your name?" if mother or father had caught us like this, what would they think? A boy was inside of my bedroom, or for that matter, a servant. To me, it wouldn't matter, but if anyone finds out we'd be in trouble. "Tommy." He said shyly as he bowed before us. Melony glanced back at me with wide eyes. "Your majesty taught me ho - how to read when no one tau - taught me." Tommy stuttered. Melony nodded to him. "What is needed of us?" Melony asked him, still shocked. "The King and Queen request the future Queen, and just her." He said with his head facing the floor, "Please excuse me, I have work to do." Tommy bowed again. "You are excused." I nodded. Tommy quickly rushed out the room. Melony stared at me with a frown. I felt awful to have to leave her, "Don't worry, I'll make up for this time." I sighed, getting up which lifted some of the bed. 

     I felt as if eyes were on me while I was walking through the castle with my warm robe on. Chills shivered down my spine. Goosebumps filled my arms like bumps on the dirt roads.

    I had a bad vibe. What was behind the mysterious feeling? Something as off.
