Forever Rose

I Fall

Next morning, Keru awoken to bright light as Aroha swung open the long red curtains. "Morning my Lady, its starting to get closer to 8, better get up now."

She groaned and tried closing the curtain near her. "Thee needs her beauty sleep however."

Aroha chuckled and opened the closet. "And the world awaits thou's beauty to appear, or else they shall dread and weep."

Keru blushed, smiling, but with a sigh. "Alright, if thee really needs to." Removing the covers to a light see through, red night gown. "Then I shall."

She turned to face her Lady and blushed. "Oh my, I-I'm sorry m-my Lady!" Turning away quickly.

She chuckled. "Tis quiet alright darling. I am not shy by means. Um, could you grab the long dark blue one?"

Aroha grabbed the dress and turned, seeing as Keru is alright for her looking, she almost forgotten her duty and helped her unchanged. Feeling Aroha's warm paws slide off the gown, Keru's heart pounded as she watch Aroha's every move, the way she cared for her more then even Miuki did, the way her aqua eyes scanned her body sent shivers through her fur. "Aroha..." She paused, realizing it almost sounded like a moan.

Aroha glanced up to her. "Yes my Lady, is there something I am doing wrong? Do you not feel comfortable around me? I could look away."

She shook her head. "N-no that's not it. Please stay, its just... I..." She stared up into Aroha's eyes, she wanted to know what her lips would feel like against her fur, being embraced in her broad body.

"My Lady?"

Keru shook her head, coming back from her thoughts, fiddling with her fingers. "I'm just hungry, may thee please hurry." She took a deep breath.

She bowed her head. "Of course my Lady." Helping Keru into the dress. Keru swallowed, feeling Aroha's paws behind her now, slowly pulling the zipper up. "There you are my Lady. All ready for the day, well almost. Shall we?"

She nodded. "Yes." Keeping her head held high as she walked over and sat at the desk with a mirror.

Aroha opened the door to let three women in. "My Lady awaits you. I want her looking like a Goddess. Got it?"

The women bowed their heads. "Yes Aroha." And came in, Aroha stood back and watched as they did Keru's make-up and hair.

Keru stared at her eyes, then wondered to look at Aroha watching. She breathed in, looking back to herself. "Where is father?"

One of the women answered. "He is has left for a treaty pact with the King of Waterlily and won't be back until tomorrow."

She breathed out. "And has my sister woken up yet?"

The other, smaller girl answered. "She is currently bathing, however she should be getting out now and be joining you for breakfast."

She nodded. "I shall be reading over her schedule after breakfast with a nice cup of tea of earl grey in the studies."

"Yes Lady Keru." They all answered with. Aroha just kept an eye on Keru without a word.

After the girls left, Keru stood up, with her head held high, she walked down the halls with Aroha right behind her and meeting Kery at the dining table. "Keru!" She came over and hugged her. "Morning!"

Keru smiled. "Good morning Kery. Ready for another day?" She went around to her seat on the end.

Kery was seated on her left. "Yes I am." The servers placed down their plates in front of them and revealed eggs, peameal and toast with a side of fruits.
