A/N: Guess who's back whether you like it or not?! It'sa me (say that in a Mario voice and it'll make more sense)! Vulpixal that's who. *blows a kiss to all my imaginary fans*

Your P.O.V

"Miss, we are here to dress you for the day." Two voices said simultaneously as I woke up. I yelped and scrambled backwards, nearly falling off the bed.

"Uh... what?" I asked, still breathing heavily from the scare.

"We have come to help you get dressed." They repeated, and I smiled sheepishly. "No, it's fine. I think I'll manage-"

They suddenly appeared behind me. "Nonsense." They replied as I was dragged to the closet.

I yelped as they took off my nightgown and started to ask me to step into a dress.

I sweat dropped but did as I was told to get this over with.

It was a light blue dress that went to my feet, and had long sleeves and a turtle neck but a cut open area on my chest that stopped before it reached my bust for a necklace or something.

I sighed as I wobbled around in a pair of high heels, and the two maids nodded.

"Done." They said after they managed my hair, and I grimaced at how hard it was to walk in the stilt-like heels.

Then, before I could even get another word out, I was shoved out of my room and given a slip of paper.

I growled at the shut door before sighing in exasperation and looking down.

Sunrise - Eat breakfast with royal family
After  - Etiquette lessons
Lunch - with royal family
After - Meet at High Priest's study
Dinner - eat with royal family
Sunset - Come back to room

I sweat dropped at just how tiring all of this sounded, but I dreaded eating with the royal family the most. I barely had any etiquette to begin with, so how was I supposed to make a good impression on them when I'm not even sure I can hold a fork right?

I grimaced before two guards were suddenly beside, making me yelp in surprise. "Your highness, we were assigned to assist you throughout your day." The one on the left said. I smiled and shook my hands in the air.

"No need for such formalities! Just call me (Y/N)!" I exclaimed, and he nodded. "Of course your highness." He said, just as stern as before.

I frowned and sighed before standing up straight and popping my back. "Let's just get this over with."

-+~•~+-

I awkwardly stayed silent as the royal family conversed, and I watched the eldest son with a frown.

He seems so... empty... I wonder what's wrong with him...

I couldn't help but see the gloom in his eyes, as if he knew his future but hated every part of it.

I sighed as I stared at the food in front of me, my appetite suddenly reduced to nothing.

"Will you not eat?"

I shot my head up and met the gaze of the lord himself, and I got real shy real fast.

"I-I um... I'm not very hungry. Forgive me..." I spat out in a timid voice, my face aflame as the entire table's focus was now on me.

"No, that's quite alright." He said with a welcoming smile, and it made me wonder how such a horrible man can disguise himself so well.

Then I looked beside me, to see Zane just staring resolutely at his food, his gaze not even wavering. I bit my lip and sighed before staring at my food once more, wanting this to be over and done with.
