Princess Lydia, was supposed to be married the bravest and most handsome prince named Sean, if he could complete the big quest. But over a year later he hasn't arrived. They never met by the way, she just heard of him never had a face to face conver...
I then look around the castle I used to slave around, it's changed in ways. I don't know how but it's felt like it was different it got more colder ever since well Queen Evelyn died. She died about a year ago when Sean left. I was informed while I was in the dungeon. She died of the plague like my mother. "Miss Lauliton here is your gown for the ball" Baldwin said and gave me the dress and left to tend to help out a maid.
I then go into one of the extra rooms and close the door. I then take a deep breath and look around the room then feel the warm embrace of the sun again it felt so nice and the smell was great. Better than sewage and rat droppings. I then go to the washroom and undress and look at myself in the mirror. My eyes had life still just with a bit of nothing at the bottom of my eyes but I haven't let him break me. I then go to the bath.
I now understand it's like me with Wesley he just lost the one he loved. "Hey Sean?" "yes" "what was she like? If you don't mind me asking" "she was well not like any other girl and she was sweet and thoughtful, she never let anything get to her and she was difficult, and didn't let her guard down when I was using my charming wits, and that made me love her even more" I laugh a bit and smile "I wish she was still here.
But at last she's up in heaven with her mother" he sighs a bit and he looks at me and I say"I am sorry" "No more like I'm sorry same situation you are in now" "yes except my father isn't that wicked to kill the one I love he probably doesn't even know unless my sisters told him which isn't a surprise" we both chuckle and he smiles "Yes my father is a lunatic and wicked, he wants to fulfill his wishes and doing that is taken away the things that interfere with it" "I hope he doesn't try anything with Wesley" his jaw clenches and he looks away "what what is it?" "nothing to worry about Dear Lydia I-I have to go"
He then disappears into the woods and I sigh and try to look for him but it was no use. I then walk back with no one with me then I hear a yawn and I look around and see no one and the voice says" it's Walter Darling" "don't frighten me like that!" I silently yell to him and he says "I am sorry but I couldn't because I was napping, now in distress damsel?" he questions and I shake my head and say"a little I'm in distress because of Sean it feels like he's hiding something from me" "it seems like he is and I heard half of the story when you were not feeling well" "yes tragic isn't it?"
"very it so cataclysmic for the young boy" "Walter?" "yes dear?" "what how did you meet Theodosia?" "that's a story for another time darling" I was about to ask why but I felt his presence gone I then trudged my way to the castle still in silence. Just with my thoughts occupying my brain.
I hated the way my feet were aching I was walking all afternoon with Sean. I then sit on my bed and I see a man at the foot of my bed. "Who are you?" "why are you she? The lovely Lydia" "Yes she is" he smiled brightly and he takes out a letter. "this is from sir Wesley and I am Monroe the royal messenger of the Kingston family" "do you know what the letter is?" "No and I would recommend read it after the ball he suggested it, said it would make sense"
"thank you Monroe" "you are welcomed my lady and if you don't mind me asking what do you think it is?" I shrugged my shoulders and look at the letter that was clutched in my hand and he says "I best be going then and for lady Lydia I hope it is good news you are a lovely and gentle soul I can see it" he then bows and leaves my room. I then put the letter at my desk and I go to my bed and lay there for a while thinking, everything happens for a reason Lydia don't let it go so much into your head. I then mess with my necklace that my mother gave me and close my eyes.

~Flashback (4 year old Lydia)~
"Princess Lydia!!" I heard Agatha yell while I was hiding under the table, I giggle I almost give myself away and I hear her shuffle a bit. "Little one please come out your mother will be upset if you aren't dressed properly to meet your future in laws" I let out a groan but I roll my eyes and I cross my arms. "I will let you play dress up more if you come and meet them" I then lift up the table cover and she smiled then picked me up and she tickles me "silly girl" "but Agatha"
"no buts young lady you know how your mother is if you don't get ready" "she gets mad" "yes" she kisses my head and takes me to my mummy's room. My mummy looked a bit worried but she calmed down once she saw me and said "Darling Lydia you had me and Agatha so worried!" "I know mummy I'm sorry I just wanted to play dress up more and I hid" "oh sweetie it's okay just please don't run off like that again okay darling?" "yes mummy" she sighs and kisses my head and picks me up then I see the ring on her dresser and I say"can I go down mummy?"
"yes of course" she then kisses my cheek and puts me down then I grab the chair and see my mother distracted talking to Agatha and I climb up the chair then grab the ring and put it on my finger but it was a little too big "mummy this ring doesn't fit me" she looks over at me and takes the ring out of my hand and says "sweetie this ring is important okay? When you are older you shall have this ring" "so I won't lose it when I'm a big girl because of how big my fingers will be?" she chuckles and strokes my dark brown locks then says "yes Dear Lydia indeed when you have grown up and become the strong and beautiful woman I know you will come to be"
I was then interrupted by the sound of knocking at my window and I see Clay and I open the latch and pull him in and say" you could have died" "yeah yeah and yet here I am for my best friend" "Thank you so what's been happening in the village" "same as usual but I just go on and about my business but I did hear that the guy that was engaged to a girl who stood him up at their wedding are engaged again" "wow she sounds like a wonderful person." I say sarcastically. "and oh no"he goes pale like my sister does when she has bad news and he says "I just realized it's Wesley" I feel my heart crack.
