Pirena

"Another dragging day" I whispered to myself as I opened my eyes and saw the familiar scarlet motif of the walls in my room. I stayed in bed thinking about the things that recently happened

Ever since last week something inside me is wanting to speed up time. After I heard what my future has in store for me I couldn't wait to be queen. And to make things better, after I told Gurna what the clairvoyant had to say she also said that there's no one more fitted to sit on the throne of Lireo than me.

Things have been pretty good around the kingdom, except for my younger sister Amihan. I don't know, her presence just makes me so irritated even if she's doing nothing. It's like my whole being is programmed to instantly get riled up whenever she's around.

Though I still feel that it's unfair for her, as my younger sister, to receive anger that she doesn't technically deserve.

"Your highness are you awake already?" a handmaid meekly calls from the outside of my room, I groaned as I twisted my body to get up

"Yes I am" I answered as I proceeded to the boudoir

"Your highness it's time for your bath" an unfamiliar handmaid entered my room bringing my robe with her

"Who are you? Where is Gurna?" I raised my voice making her jump. I can sense the nervousness from her as she approaches but she tried to force it in.

"Th-the head court attendant is currently with a meeting with Ades and the Queen Mother your highness" she bows down her head

I smiled when I saw how young she is. It amuses me whenever I get to prank the new handmaids

"Let's go" I gestured and she and two other handmaids followed me

Walking towards the royal bathhouse I noticed that the surrounding was rather calm. No singing from Alena, no ruckus because of the soldiers chasing Danaya or sudden explosions because of Amihan's novice ability in her magic training.

"Where are my sisters?" I asked, still walking

"Diwani Alena is currently in the royal study reading. Diwani Amihan and Danaya are both in the academy" one of them answered

"Those two are rather early"

We arrived at the royal bathhouse. Its vast interior, one of the things I like about the place, makes me calm for some reason.

The handmaids immediately prepared the water the way I like it. They used the fire enchanted rocks to make the water hotter than usual. White smoke hovered above the surface. The handmaids then exited and stood outside, waiting till I'm done. I stripped down my robe and clothing, revealing my developing body. I stood in front of a body sized mirror and twirled around. I can already see that I'm slowly turning into an adult.
