Blood King

Chapter Eleven

So much like before in chapter five I had to go over this chapter again because I just wasn't satisfied with it enough, go figure. I added much more detials to it, being more discriptive and even added a heck tone more daiolog too while adding two more characters, one of which is not a major role at all (WARNGING SPOILERS!!!) for one of them will be dead as a doornail in chapter twelve. (end of spoilers) Anyway I hope you all will enjoy the updated version of chapter eleven of Blood King and will let me know what you think of it thus far if you so wish too. I will not force anyone for comments, but feedback is greatly accepted.

Chapter Eleven

            Celina’s eyes burst open as she quickly sat up and looked around her room, there was on one there, for a moment she could have sworn that she heard her brother’s voice. Did she dream that up?

            Knocking on her door then followed. “Princess!” Ann called from the other side as her hand tapped on the door repeatedly. “Princess, are you awake?”

            “Yes,” she called to Ann. “I am.”

            Ann then opened the door and entered the Princess’s chambers followed by Maria who then closed the door and was holding cloths in one arm. Ann then came over to Celina and took her hand before gently pulling her out of bed and tugged her over to the vanity table and chair. “Sit down; I will work on your hair and makeup while Maria organizes your dress for today.”

            “But I can…”

            “We know you’re used to doing things yourself Princess,” Maria spoke as she lay out the dress on the bed along with her corset stockings and a number of other items for the dress. “But let us help you for this and of the day of your brother’s coronation, we wouldn’t be doing our job if you didn’t let us help you.”

            Celina was about to interject but saw how both Maria and Ann looked at her causing the Princess to sigh in defeat. “Very well then, but only for those two times, I’d rather not forget how to dress myself, it’d be embarrassing.”

            “We’ll be sure to make you look beautiful.” Ann said as she began to brush Celina’s hair, only to pause when lifting it away from her neck. There was an odd looking bruise that resided at the base of Celina’s neck it didn’t look natural to say in the least.

            “Is something wrong Ann?” Celina asked noticing Ann’s sudden lack in movement. “You just stopped, are you alright?”

            “I… I’m fine Princess,” she offered the girl a smile. “Sorry I became lost in thought for a moment, you just have the most beautiful hair.”

            Celina blushed as she averted her gaze from Ann. “My hair is normal, there’s nothing grand about it I can assure you.”

            “Yes but you cannot deny it looks so lovely on you, and when I’m done your hair will look even better with or without the dress.”

            “Hey she’s not going out there naked.” Maria snapped at Ann who just laughed it off. “Now quite fooling around there’s only so much time we have.”

            “Yes, yes.” Even though Ann said all of that with a cheery smile there was still part of her that did not like the look of the unnatural bruise. But for now she could not speak of it, that much she was aware of.
